The thick branches of the willow trees by the lake hang lightly above the water. The sun shines on the willow trees, and the water surface casts mottled light and shadow, like a little girl's thoughts, which clearly exist but don't know how to express them.

Yan Fangxiu was attracted by several children flying kites in the distance.

She told her sister, but she didn't respond, so she had no choice but to tell Zhao Beichen, "Professor Zhao, I'll go over there and play with the kids for a while, and I'll leave Ruyu to you first."

"Okay." Zhao Beichen responded.

Not long after Yan Fangxiu left, Yan Ruyu was temporarily removed from her own thoughts. When she turned around, she found that her sister was missing.

"Professor Zhao, where is my sister? Why is she missing?!"

Zhao Beichen raised his hand and pointed at the people squatting not far away.

"Miss Fangxiu said that she is going to play with some children there for a while."

Yan Ruyu looked in the direction of his finger, and sure enough she saw her sister and the child together.

The feeling in my throat just now slowly eased.

Yan Ruyu sat down again and suddenly felt on pins and needles. This was the first time she felt like this because Zhao Beichen was next to her.

Zhao Beichen seemed to have noticed something was wrong with her.

He asked with concern, "Miss Ruyu, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

Yan Ruyu was stunned for a moment and shook her head, "I don't feel any discomfort."

Zhao Beichen nodded slightly and did not ask any more questions.

After the two were silent for a moment, Zhao Beichen suddenly moved a little closer to Yan Ruyu's position, but stopped at a distance that would not make Yan Ruyu feel disgusted.

His move was not small. Yan Ruyu naturally noticed it and wanted to see what he would do next.

Zhao Beichen didn't do anything, he just put one hand on the railing behind him and looked at Yan Ruyu slightly sideways.

For some reason, Yan Ruyu's face felt inexplicably hot as he kept staring at her, her lips moved, and her head moved imperceptibly.

Seeing her discomfort, Zhao Beichen slowly raised a smile on his lips.

Watching her take the candied haws all the way, she slowly said, "Miss Ruyu, don't you feel tired after taking the candied haws all the way?"

When Yan Ruyu heard what he said, she subconsciously raised her hand and glanced down at the candied haws in her hand.

The candied haws remained the same ever since she took a bite.

"It's okay." Yan Ruyu replied.

Zhao Beichen was stunned for Yan Ruyu, who spoke little and didn't react very strongly.

This person he was familiar with on weekdays was different...

Could it be that the candied haws I bought didn’t taste good?

But if it wasn't delicious, Miss Fangxiu ate it without leaving any food behind.

Zhao Beichen thought about it for a while, then slowly asked, "Since this candied haws-along came into Miss Ruyu's hands, it seems that I just took one bite. Isn't it because the candied haws-glut is not delicious?"

"But if it doesn't taste good, there are a lot of people buying it. Besides, I see that Miss Fangxiu eats well. Could it be that the candied haws on a stick doesn't suit Miss Ruyu's taste?"

Yan Ruyu listened to his repeated questions, holding the candied haws in her hand tightly.

[Professor Zhao, why are there so many questions today? You didn’t buy this candied haws for yourself, so why are you always asking yourself what you think? Didn't you buy it for your sister? My sister can just eat it. 】

[How should I answer him? I am not a sister, and I cannot tell how my sister feels about this candied haws. Otherwise, I can just deal with it casually. 】

[Really, I just brought an extra candied haws stick just to be polite. What's there to ask? 】

When Zhao Beichen heard the words ringing in his ears, he showed a thoughtful expression and frowned slightly.

What is she saying?

What kind of candied haws was bought not for her, but for her sister?

When did I say that I bought this candied haws for Miss Fangxiu?

It seems that I have never said it before, she, why would she think so...

Wait, could it be...

Could it be that the reason why she has only taken one bite of the candied haws in her hand is because...because in her heart, this candied haws was not given to her at all.

Not only that, she actually thought that the candied haws she brought her was because it was going to be given to Miss Fangxiu, so she bought an extra one...

At this time, Zhao Beichen could no longer describe what he was feeling, he was just completely shocked.

Co-author, he himself was happy for so long, all because of his own imagination.

No wonder...no wonder he wasn't in a very high mood when he was in the teahouse. He had a misunderstanding from the beginning until now...

If he hadn't been able to hear her voice, I'm afraid that by the time she knew this, she would have already arranged herself for Miss Fangxiu or another woman in her heart!

Zhao Beichen really wanted to open her head and see what was going on inside.

Yan Ruyu raised her eyes and was about to say something. When Zhao Beichen noticed it, he immediately took the lead.

"Miss Ruyu, I understand. You must think that the candied haws I bought for you is not to your taste, right? In this way, I will buy you another one next time."

Yan Ruyu paused when she heard the key words in his words.

"Bought it especially for me?"

Zhao Beichen nodded without thinking, "Of course."

Worried that she still misunderstood, Zhao Beichen explained his inner thoughts to her.

"It's like this. Didn't we go to Jiangcheng to participate in the International Mental Arithmetic Competition? When we were out playing, we passed by so many stalls. You bought everything, but the first thing you bought was candied haws."

"I made a note at that time that Miss Ruyu probably liked eating candied haws, so when I saw this unique piece of candied haws today, I went after it and bought it. Unexpectedly, the taste did not suit Miss Ruyu's taste... …”

When he spoke, there was not only a sense of loss, but also a hint of unnoticeable grievance.

Yan Ruyu felt her head buzzing when she heard what he said.

He looked down at the candied haws in his hand in disbelief.

Didn't you really buy this candied haws for your sister? Did you really buy it specifically for yourself?

Although Zhao Beichen had already explained it clearly, Yan Ruyu still wanted to be more clear in her heart.

"Professor Zhao, are you sure that you bought this candied haws for me, not my sister?"

"I'm not doubting Professor Zhao's intention, it's just that my sister likes to eat candied haws very much. I, I'm afraid that my sister will misunderstand."

For some reason, Yan Ruyu always felt that what she was saying now sounded like a very awkward person, but she couldn't tell what kind of person she was.
