In Skyward Peak Residence, Qin Zhuzhu was packing her luggage. When she ca down from her room, her luggage and an extra bag had been prepared for her. Shentu Jing had helped pack more than half of the luggage for her, putting in all types of ’essentials’ items.
She opened the luggage and almost fell backwards. Shit! It was as if he had packed the whole house for her! Qin Zhuzhu didn’t know that he was THIS thorough! When she packed her own luggage herself, she would often miss out our forget sothing.
Shentu Jing walked into the hall and passed her so dication.
"This one is for stomach pain, this one is for external injuries, and this one is so painkillers," Shentu Jing looked concern.
Qin Zhuzhu felt her heart skipped another beat and suddenly she felt a little anxious. She couldn’t help but think of her conversation with Jingmin that day.
"Are you sure it’s not a ntal illness?" She asked.
"Why would it be? If love was a ntal illness, then it’s better to have this illness than live a life like a single dog," Jingmin put a hand over her heart.
If love was a ntal illness.... then does that an that she’s going ntal?
Aiyah, sotis it was better to be ntal! Because staying sober would an using her logical reasoning and common sense which will use up too much of her brain power. So whatever!
"Are you coming to Paris with ? Aren’t you afraid that I might et so handso French n and hook up with?" She teased him, her foxy eyes glinting mischievously.
"Go ahead. You can never find one who kissed and dote on you better than I can," Shentu Jing pulled her towards him until their bodies were pressed against each other.
Qin Zhuzhu’s ears turned slightly red and she reached up and caressed his cheeks. Her heart started to beat faster and faster.
Shentu Jing’s lips were closed to hers, he whispered against her skin. "Co ho early. I... Got a surprise for you,"
"What surprise?"
"It won’t be a surprise if I tell you,"
She closed her eyes as he neared.... However, she only felt sothing soft on her nose. Qin Zhuzhu opened her eyes and glared at Shentu Jing. Shentu Jing had tricked her yet again!
She thought he was going to kiss her lips but instead what he kissed was her nose.
"You are playing ," she said bitterly with disappointnt.
"My Little Pearl finally admits you like it, hmm?" Shentu Jing’s voice was seductive as he leaned closer to her lips. Their lips almost touched when Han Juexian suddenly ran into the house.
"Boss! I found it! Boss!" He waved sothing above his head.
Shentu Jing turned and glared murderously at Han Juexian.
Han Juexian stopped in his tracks, recognizing that demonic gaze.
Imdiately Han Juexian looked up at the ceiling as if there was sothing interesting there, and chuckled nervously.
"Uh.... Boss, lady boss, you can continue. I didn’t see anything,"
This fool.... Why did he hire him in the first place? Other than destroying the mood or interrupting upon their intimate monts, he didn’t seem to have any use.
Ding Yu ca running into the house too. "Boss! I finally figured it out! Oh....uh... Boss, I didn’t see anything. My young brain doesn’t know what are you doing," Ding Yu turned around and hid his eyes behind his fingers with a cheeky smile.
"Boss, lady boss, I’ll take him out. He definitely saw everything!" Han Juexian wrapped an arm around Ding Yu and dragged him out.
"Hey, brother Han! Are you selling out!?"
"What sell you out? Wait a minute, selling you is a great idea! You’re so cute! I’m sure so aunties would want to buy you. Hehehe!"
In the distance, Shentu Jing and Qin Zhuzhu could hear those two fight and argue.
*******
Autumn was approaching. The wind blew the leaves off a tree, sending beautiful orange leaves flying about before they landed near a man’s feet.
Qiao Minde stood in the park, standing so still as if his feet was glued to the ground.
He will never forget that day, the day he went ho and found his mother dead. No, he didn’t get to see her because they wouldn’t let him in.
Instead, soone made the order to send him overseas and away. Practically, that person wanted him away from the Qiao family forever, never to step foot into the family.
But Qiao Minde managed to win them over, fighting his way through the bloody storm and ca out on top.
"Hey, sir! Aren’t you that mister whom I accidentally bumped into that day?" A voice called out.
Qiao Minde raised his eyes and t that familiar face.
Qin Zhuzhu’s eyes shining with recognition as she ca over to him.
"You have good mory," he said nonchalantly.
"Not really. You’re the only one who wears a red suit! Are you attending an event? For mid autumn festival?" Qin Zhuzhu asked cheerfully.
"Mid autumn festival?" Qiao Minde looked at the girl closely. She seed to not know who he was.
"Mister Red, it can’t be that you haven’t heard about the Mid autumn festival? Where did you co from, Mars?" The girl laughed.
"By the way, I’m Qin Zhuzhu," she offered a hand.
Qiao Minde took her hand and shook it. "Qiao Minde,"
"I suppose you don’t have family or friends, right?"
"What makes you think that?" Qiao Minde asked. He had nothing to do today so why not spend so ti talking with this strange girl?
"You look lonely," the girl walked passed him and went to pluck so leaves off the tree behind him.
You look lonely.
Those words echoed in his heart, vibrating throughout his entire being.
"Why are you plucking leaves?" He turned to face her.
"Oh, a bad habit! I used to pluck leaves whenever autumn’s around the corner, just to collect them. Did you know that you can use these leaves to make mooncakes?"
