Quick Transmigration: Only You Are the Desire of My Heart
Chapter 7 Gentle Childhood Sweetheart VS Cold and Aloof Childhood Friend 6
When Chu Hanxi came downstairs, this was the scene she saw. The girl squinted, tilted her head slightly, and had a serene smile on her lips. Even the cool breeze seemed to pause for a moment. Her heart skipped a beat.
Song Qingyin had a strange attraction for him, and he couldn't help but linger on her.
"A-Yin" composed herself, and Chu Hanqi walked towards her. Her pleasant voice sent shivers down one's spine and made one's heart skip a beat. Even though she was speaking normally, it sounded deeply affectionate.
"Hanxi, I'm really sorry to trouble you." Upon hearing the voice, Song Qingyin's eyes lit up. "I'll be quite busy these next few days, and I was worried I wouldn't have enough time, so I called you out at the last minute."
Song Qingyin looked a little embarrassed, her eyes filled with apology. "It's Auntie's birthday this weekend. I've given her everything I could think of in previous years, so I really don't know what to get her. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you. I hope this won't be too much of a hassle for you."
"No, I just happen to be free today, and I was planning to go out anyway," Chu Hanqi shook her head to indicate it was fine, then paused and explained, "I'll buy a card reader while I'm at it, and even if you don't buy anything, my mom won't mind."
After all, she likes you so much, but she didn't say it out loud.
"No, that won't do. The gift is a token of my appreciation." She still had a smiling face and a soft, sweet tone, as if she were pleading.
As they talked, the two had already walked out of the school gate and were preparing to hitchhike by the roadside.

"Let's go buy a card reader first, and then pick out a gift for your aunt," Song Qingyin suggested as they arrived at the nearest department store.
"Okay." Neither of them were the type to ramble on, so once they had made their plans, they headed straight for their destination. Seeing Chu Hanqi picking out things, and not knowing anything about them, Song Qingyin went to wander around and bought two cups of milk tea.
She recently fell in love with a refreshing iced milk tea that isn't too sweet, perfect for this kind of weather. One sip and she feels like her pores are opening up.
"Here you go, I only asked them to put in a tiny bit of sugar, try it, it's delicious." Chu Hanqi came back with the milk tea, just as she was coming out of the shop.
"Okay," he said, almost unconsciously accepting the drink. He didn't actually like these kinds of drinks, but seeing the expectant look in the person's eyes, he couldn't bear to refuse. He obediently took a sip. It wasn't as sweet as he had imagined; it had a refreshing taste, with subtle sweetness bursting in his mouth, instantly lifting his spirits.
"How is it? Not bad, right?" Song Qingyin raised an eyebrow, looking smug. She wasn't like the person she remembered; she was much more vibrant.
It seems that after only a few short interactions, he could hardly remember what Song Qingyin was like before, but her current appearance left a deep impression on him.
"Hmm, not bad," he said with a slight smile, his eyes revealing a gentleness he himself was unaware of.
After visiting many shops, Song Qingyin was somewhat disappointed that she couldn't find a suitable gift.
"Let's go inside and take a look," Chu Hanqi said, stopping in front of a jewelry store.
The shop wasn't small, and the counter was neatly arranged with various small ornaments. They were novel in style, exquisite in workmanship, and shone brightly under the lights, reflecting a glittering light like a sky full of stars.
Song Qingyin immediately fell in love with the store; after all, what girl could resist something so sparkly?
"How about this?" Unlike Song Qingyin, who looked around, Chu Hanqi was very serious about choosing, pointing to the items in the counter.
It was a brooch, shaped like a violet flower, inlaid with blue diamonds, the silver and blue-purple light reflecting off each other.
"It's so beautiful, I'll take this one!" Song Qingyin exclaimed with delight, very satisfied with the gift, and called the shop assistant to pack it up. Seeing Chu Hanxi already taking out his bank card to pay, she suddenly rushed in front of him and grabbed his hand.
"How could I let you pay for the gift I bought for your aunt? Take it back!"
The sudden warmth on her hand made Chu Hanqi slightly uncomfortable, yet she couldn't help but savor it. The girl's hands were soft, with neatly trimmed, glossy, and rounded nails—very cute.
"Go outside and wait for me. I'll come out after I pay. We'll go have lunch together later. You can see what you want to eat first." Before Chu Hanxi could speak, he pushed her out and ran back into the store.
Chu Hanqi lowered his eyes, his thin lips slightly pursed. Something churned within them, then gradually calmed down. Whether something was trying to break free from its grasp remained unknown…
"All done?" Hearing the approaching footsteps behind her, Chu Hanxi turned around and looked at Song Qingyin, who was clearly in a good mood, and slightly curled the corners of her mouth.
"Mmm," Song Qingyin nodded, then handed over a small, exquisitely designed bag. "This is for you. I saw it earlier and thought it would suit you perfectly. Consider it a thank you for coming out with me to pick out a gift today."
"Hmm? What is it—" Hearing Song Qingyin say this, for some reason, he didn't refuse and took the bag. As soon as he opened the box, he was stunned when he saw what was inside.
They were a pair of cufflinks, made of some unknown material, with a deep blue background and a layer of tiny, sparkling dots, like stars twinkling in a clear night sky. The edges were decorated with fine silver rhinestones shaped like intertwined vines.
"It also has a beautiful name, called the Sea of Stars," a sweet voice said with a smile. "You will conquer your Sea of Stars in the future too." It sounded like a joke, but it also seemed to carry a sense of certainty.
"Thank you, I really like it," Chu Hanqi said earnestly, a rare occurrence for her.
"I'm glad you like it. I'm so hungry, let's go eat."
"Okay, I just looked at a restaurant with really good ratings, let's go try it."
……
The sound of their conversation drifted through the air, and something was slowly changing, though the people involved were unaware of it.

The two returned to school in the evening. With some rare free time and no classes in the afternoon, they decided to spend the afternoon out, watching a movie and having dinner there as well.
Although there has been no substantial progress, Song Qingyin is already quite satisfied with the current pace. After all, Chu Hanqi's attitude has softened, and he has even ruined the female lead's confession. How could she not be happy?
“Then let’s go back together this weekend, and I’ll pick you up then,” Chu Hanxi said softly downstairs at the girls’ dormitory.
“Okay,” Song Qingyin nodded, wanting to say something more, but was interrupted by a sharp voice.
"Chu, Han, Qi—"
The boy's face visibly turned cold as he looked at the source of the voice, his eyes filled with a deep, dark intensity, the coldness almost tangible.
Song Qingyin looked in the direction of the sound and silently curled her red lips.
