Reborn in 2006, I met Mr. Zhou from the past.

Su Fengnan stared at the interior design before her, frozen in place, speechless with shock for a long time. Zhou Chenyu had been waiting for this surprise; seeing her stunned yet amazed expression, he was overjoyed.

He led her by the hand deeper inside, explaining everything in detail. A whole row of bookshelves against the wall was filled with books, each carefully labeled with a number. The store was well-organized, with tables for two to four people, comfortable sofa booths, and elegant small coffee tables—everything you could need.

The space is cleverly divided: there are open, bright, unpartitioned side-by-side study areas suitable for light study; each table is thoughtfully equipped with an eye-protecting desk lamp, as well as ample power outlets and USB ports for convenient internet access. In addition, there are semi-enclosed private booths and fully enclosed soundproof glass rooms, making the equipment configuration extremely advanced and comprehensive.

Su Fengnan followed his steps blankly, her heart already churning with turmoil. This model, combining a bookstore and a study room, was over a decade ahead of its time! How did Zhou Chenyu manage to bring it to fruition so easily?

After admiring the sights, Su Fengnan finally managed to calm the surging shock in her heart. Noticing a staircase in the corner, she casually asked, "Are there two floors here?"

"Yes, the upstairs used to be the previous owner's warehouse. The designer helped renovate it, making full use of the space," Zhou Chenyu explained patiently. "Upstairs are more booths, study areas, and private areas. Would you like to go up and take a look?"

Su Fengnan shook her head, then took Zhou Chenyu's arm and gently leaned her head against it, her voice filled with emotion: "Brother Zhou, how can you be so kind..."

Zhou Chenyu lowered her eyes, her gaze overflowing with boundless doting affection: "Because this is what you wanted. Since I think it's feasible, I want to try to help you achieve it."

Su Fengnan's nose suddenly stung, and her vision was instantly blurred by the tears welling up. She turned to the side and buried her face in Zhou Chenyu's broad arms, her long-suppressed sobs echoing softly against his chest.

Zhou Chenyu was slightly taken aback by her sudden hug, then tightened his arms, holding her tightly in his embrace, gently patting her back with his palms: "It's just a small thing, don't cry. Our Nan'er will have bigger things to do in the future, are you going to cry every time? Hmm?"

Su Fengnan didn't care; she just wanted to cry, her hands gripping his clothes tightly, refusing to let go. Zhou Chenyu, helpless, could only let her vent her emotions in his arms until the soft sobs gradually subsided. Only then did he speak gently, his tone teasing with a hint of indulgence: "Alright, you little crybaby, where's your stubbornness?"

"Pfft..." Su Fengnan was amused by him and burst into laughter through her tears. She raised her hand to wipe the corners of her reddened eyes, feeling both amused and exasperated.

She cried because she knew better than anyone that this quiet, selfless dedication was something that no amount of money could buy.

In her past life, she had heard a callous remark: "True sincerity is both priceless and cheap."

However, she firmly believed from beginning to end that sincerity is the most precious treasure in the world. It is priceless when found in a good man, but utterly worthless when found in a heartless one. And the man before her was undoubtedly the most precious good man in the world.

Seeing that she finally stopped crying and started smiling, Zhou Chenyu's smile deepened, and he said gently, "The new store will open in a few days, but we haven't decided on a name yet. Why don't you come up with one?"

"Ah, naming again?" Su Fengnan pouted slightly and stepped out of his arms, feeling a little embarrassed.

Then, she took another look around the shop. At first, she hadn't noticed, but now that she calmed down and looked closely, she realized that the decor here actually echoed the style of her dessert shop next door.

She turned to look at Zhou Chenyu, her eyes sparkling: "Brother Zhou, will you really let me name it?"

Zhou Chenyu smiled and nodded, her tone indulgent: "What else?"

Su Fengnan lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then tentatively said, "What do you think of 'Moonlit Study' or 'Light-Picking Study'?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chenyu's heart stirred slightly. He suddenly recalled the first time he met this young girl, under the gentle moonlight. "Moon Viewing" not only reflects the scene at that time, but also comes from the herb "evening primrose," carrying a tranquil and romantic atmosphere. It perfectly echoes the "moon" in the name of the neighboring "Su Yue Shi Guang," making the atmosphere of the two shops blend seamlessly.

Thinking of this, Zhou Chenyu smiled knowingly and made the decision: "Then let's go with 'Moon View Bookstore'. I'll have the signboard made tomorrow."

"Okay," Su Fengnan replied obediently.

"Let's have dinner together tonight, I'll come pick you up," Zhou Chenyu said, extending an invitation.

Su Fengnan suddenly slapped her forehead, somewhat annoyed as she remembered the important matter: "Oh right, Brother Zhou, I can't go tonight. Zhang Jiaxinrui invited me to her house for her birthday."

Zhou Chenyu paused slightly upon hearing this, then naturally replied, "Where are you? I'll take you there."

Su Fengnan handed him a slip of paper with the address written on it. Zhou Chenyu took it and glanced at it. When he saw the address, his eyebrows twitched almost imperceptibly, but his expression remained gentle: "Okay, go have fun without worry. I'll pick you up when it's time."

"Okay." Su Fengnan nodded obediently.

"Is the gift ready?" he asked casually.

"Not yet, I'm about to go buy it later."

The two walked out side by side, talking as they went.

"Do you need me to go with you to pick one out?"

"Are you busy this afternoon?" Su Fengnan asked, tilting her head back.

Zhou Chenyu raised his hand to look at his watch, and pondered for a moment, "Hmm, I have enough time, I can keep you company for a while."

Su Fengnan knew perfectly well that his so-called "extra comfort" was probably just something he squeezed out of his busy work schedule. She decisively shook her head, rejecting his suggestion: "Brother Zhou, you go and take care of your business. I can manage on my own. It's better for a girl to choose the things she likes herself."

As she spoke, she affectionately took his arm, stood on tiptoe, and quickly pecked him on the cheek: "Okay, go ahead. Just remember to pick me up on time tonight."

Before she finished speaking, she had already turned around and run back to the dessert shop with a cheerful smile, leaving only a playful silhouette.

……

Back at the shop, Su Fengnan briefly explained her whereabouts to Hai Ge and Yanzi, then, carrying her bag, went alone to a DIY shop. She planned to make a cup-shaped scented candle by hand. After much deliberation, she finally settled on a light osmanthus scent—because she remembered that Zhang Xinrui had this sweet fragrance when they first met. Since it was a gift, she naturally wanted to cater to her preferences.

While waiting for the candle to cool and solidify, she didn't waste any time. She turned around and went to a nearby jewelry store to pick out a pair of exquisite pearl earrings. After the candle had completely solidified, she carefully placed the earrings and scented candle into a gift box, tied it with a ribbon, and looked at this carefully prepared gift before turning away with satisfaction.

At six o'clock in the evening, Su Fengnan dressed up carefully. Zhou Chenyu drove her to the entrance of the residential area that Zhang Xinrui had mentioned.
