"Yes, it's good. You should eat some too."

“I’ve eaten. You can bake some more for yourself. They’re almost full and are complaining to me that it’s too sinful. They’ve eaten at least three times more than usual today.”

Qin Che watched you munching on a crab leg, your lips never leaving the table, and his mood visibly improved.

"There's some cut fruit in the kitchen. Could you keep an eye on the fire while I get it for you?"

"I'll go get it, you go and eat something." You left those words behind and immediately ran off in a flurry.

Qin Che watched your departing figure and a smile curved his lips.

.......

Under the cherry blossom tree, which is already lit up with colorful lights, the four of you sit around a table with a fruit platter and several glasses of half-finished fresh juice.

You sat close to Qin Che, holding a warm, fluffy little hand warmer in your arms, while continuing to chatter away with Tao Tao and Liu Yi about gossip.

"It's already this late, we should head back," Liu Yi said, glancing at the time on her phone.

"Yes, yes, it's so late, you've all worked hard today, especially Mr. Qin..., thank you for your hard work!" Tao Tao echoed.

"How will you get back? I'll have my Zhizhi take you." You glanced at the time; it was indeed getting late.

"No need, no need, someone is coming to pick us up," Liu Yi waved her hands repeatedly.

"Oh~~~~~~" You dragged out the last syllable, "I understand, I understand, the guy Tao Tao was talking about during the day has gone from childhood friend to boyfriend."

Liu Yi blushed immediately at your teasing, and nodded haphazardly: "I've already notified him, he should be here soon."

"Now that someone's bringing it, I'm relieved." You placed the little orange in your arms on the seat cushion, got up to see them off, and prepared to leave.

You didn't wait long before the car that was there to pick you up stopped outside the villa's large iron gate.

Be careful on your way back.

"Okay, no need to see you off." Tao Tao waved her hand, urging you to go back.

"Thank you for today." Qin Che's deep voice sounded exceptionally clear in the night.

"What, what, we should be thanking you for your hospitality! We're almost embarrassed by what you're saying," Liu Yi quickly interrupted, covering her mouth.

Your gaze shifted from the two of them to Qin Che's face, then back again: "Hahaha, no need to thank me, don't keep thanking me, come again next time."

"Okay! I'm off~ Bye-bye~~"

You and Qin Che stood at the villa entrance, watching the car drive away.

"Qin Che!!!"

You turned your gaze back to the man beside you.

"Ok?"

You jumped up and nimbly clung to Qin Che.

Qin Che steadily supported your bottom.

You hook your arm around his neck, tilt your head back slightly, and meet his ruby-like eyes.

"I love you so much."

Qin Che raised his eyebrows slightly and responded softly, "Mm."

"All of this was your meticulous arrangement today..." Under the dim streetlights, Qin Che's facial features appeared exceptionally soft in your eyes. "You took me to crowded places to join in the fun, so I could clearly see all those unfamiliar faces... You brought my friends to my side, accompanied and encouraged me, and played around with me... Everything you did... was to make me stop doubting, stop worrying, and stop thinking I was still in a dream, right?"
