You're dumping me, huh? Fine, then I'll just pick up the school beauty and make her my wif

This is a photo of her and Jiang Che after she changed into a floral dress.

However, those photos weren't taken by the photographer specifically for them; judging from the angle, they were probably taken secretly.

In the photo, she smiles with her eyes crinkling, and her skirt flutters slightly in the wind.

Jiang Che, who was standing next to her, kept looking at her with his head turned to the side.

Su Qinghe stared at the photo for a long, long time, then quietly opened the wallpaper settings and set the photo as her phone's lock screen.

After setting it up, I locked the screen to test the effect.

Yes, perfect.

From then on, every time she turned on her phone screen, the first thing she would see was him looking at her.

Just thinking about it makes me incredibly happy.

Because Jiang Che chose same-city instant delivery, the couple's outfits were delivered shortly after the two finished browsing the phones.

After changing, the two stood side by side in front of the full-length mirror in the entryway.

A white T-shirt and denim shorts—a simple outfit, but because they're the same style, they look strangely coordinated.

Su Qinghe looked at the two people in the mirror and couldn't help but smile.

But after only a couple of seconds of pouting, she pouted again.

She tiptoed, trying to make herself appear closer to Jiang Che.

However, given the height difference, standing on tiptoe was of no use.

"You're too tall...it makes me look so short in photos," Su Qinghe muttered in complaint.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Che bent down, placed his hands on his knees, brought his face close to Su Qinghe's level, looked her straight in the eye, and spoke in a serious tone.

"Being shorter is good."

"What's so good about it!"

"It fits perfectly into my arms, the size is just right."

Su Qinghe's face flushed red instantly.

"You, you...!"

She raised her hand and punched him lightly, though the force was minimal, more like a tickle, but at least it expressed a lot of emotion.

It was enough to show the girl's anger at that moment.

Jiang Che smiled and dodged, then took the opportunity to grasp her fist as she swung it at him. He opened and closed his fingers one by one, then intertwined his fingers tightly.

"Let's go."

After giving a soft hum, Su Qinghe blushed and was led out the door by him.

The two went to the largest commercial plaza in Lincheng.

Since regaining her sight, Su Qinghe hadn't really gone shopping much. Now, walking through the bustling mall, she was filled with curiosity about everything.

She would stare at the clothes, jewelry, and ornaments in the shop windows, and even the claw machine next to the elevator for a long time.

After all, these were things that Su Qinghe had desperately lacked before she got together with Jiang Che.

Jiang Che followed behind her without complaint the whole time, carrying her bag in one hand and holding the Coolomi that Su Qinghe had just won from the claw machine in the other.

Occasionally, when there are large crowds, he would quietly move to the side of her closest to the crowd and use his body to shield her from the throng.

As Su Qinghe strolled around, she stopped in front of a clothing store window.

She took a liking to a light brown pleated skirt, but after turning it over and looking at the price tag, she hesitated and withdrew her finger.

So expensive.

As Su Qinghe was internally debating whether to put it back, a hand reached out from the side and, without a word, took the dress and handed it to the shop assistant.

"Wrap this one up."

"Ah Che! I was just looking!" Su Qinghe exclaimed anxiously, reaching out to grab it. "Don't waste money!"

Jiang Che calmly raised the skirt a little higher, making it out of her reach.

"It's only natural to spend money on your girlfriend."

girlfriend.

Su Qinghe's hand froze in mid-air.

Again.

Every time Jiang Che uttered those three words, the tips of her ears would turn red.

She found that she seemed to be unable to become immune to this title.

Even though we did so much last night, just a simple "girlfriend" was enough to easily stir up all her emotions.

Su Qinghe turned her head away and muttered, "This is the last time."

As they strolled around in the afternoon, the two passed by a jewelry store.

Su Qinghe had only glanced casually at the shop window, but her gaze suddenly fixed on a certain spot.

They were a pair of silver couple rings.

The design is very simple, with extremely fine lines engraved on the narrow band, giving it a subtle matte finish under the light.

Su Qinghe's gaze lingered on the pair of rings for about two seconds.

Then she casually looked away, pretending she hadn't noticed anything.

Jiang Che stood beside her the whole time, so he naturally saw the whole scene clearly.

But he didn't say anything.

After walking a short distance further, Su Qinghe was drawn to a dress in another store. Excitedly, she said she wanted to try it on and took the dress into the fitting room.

After Jiang Che waited for her to go inside, he confirmed that she wouldn't be coming out anytime soon.

Then he turned around and walked back to the jewelry store he had just passed, his pace unhurried and his expression unchanged.

I pushed open the glass door and walked straight to the counter.

"Hello, could you please wrap up those silver couple rings in the shop window for me?"

Upon hearing this, the shop assistant immediately came over with a smile, bent down, and took the pair of rings from the display shelf in the window.

"Sir, you have excellent taste. This is our best-selling couple ring recently. It's made of sterling silver and can be engraved for free."

Jiang Che glanced down at the pair of rings lying quietly on the velvet tray. The narrow bands and matte finish were indeed beautiful.

Engraving?

He thought for a moment, then said, "Let's carve it."

"What kind of content would you like to have engraved?"

"One is engraved with 'He' (禾), and the other with 'Che' (澈)."

The shop assistant smiled and nodded, quickly wrote it down, and then sent the ring to the back office for engraving.

As Jiang Che stood in front of the counter waiting, he unconsciously glanced in the direction of the clothing store where Su Qinghe was trying on clothes.

There should still be time.

Su Qinghe always takes her time when trying on clothes. She takes photos first and then looks in the mirror seven or eight times, and it takes her at least ten minutes to come out.

After the engraving was completed and the packaging was properly arranged, Jiang Che took the exquisite little box from the shop assistant and casually stuffed it into the inner pocket of his coat.

Yes, just right.

However, just to be on the safe side, he went to the milk tea shop next door and ordered a cup of taro boba, which was Su Qinghe's favorite drink.

That way, even if she presses for an answer, I'll have a plausible excuse.

When he returned to the clothing store with the milk tea, Su Qinghe had already emerged from the fitting room and was standing in the store, looking around for Jiang Che.

Seeing Jiang Che walk in from outside, Su Qinghe immediately grabbed the dress she had just tried on and ran towards him.

"Ah Che! Where did you go? I came out and didn't see you. I thought you didn't want me anymore."

"I went over and bought a milk tea." Jiang Che handed her the milk tea casually, then smiled slightly and ruffled her hair. "Don't you always like taro boba? I thought you must be thirsty after walking for so long, so I went and bought you a cup."

Su Qinghe's attention was immediately drawn to the milk tea. She took it, lowered her head, took a sip, and squinted her eyes, letting out a satisfied "Mmm."

But then she looked up, narrowed her eyes slightly, and stared at him for a while.

"You're smiling."
