Chapter 59: My Time is All Yours The next morning, Lu You got up, put on makeup, and drove Grandma and the others to the resort in the southern suburbs. Lu Huai'an had booked the venue for three days to show his filial piety. Lu You often heard her grandmother talk about the past in their casual chats, saying that their family's conditions were not good at that time, and they were inferior to others in every way. The young Lu Huai'an had a lot on his mind, and dignity, face, money... many things became…-

Chapter 58: Coward The cheongsam for the birthday banquet was brought to Yue Yunxi's house along with the piano that day, placed on the island counter in the dressing room. Before showering that night, Lu You carried the brocade box into the shower room. Every time she glanced at the cyan brocade box, she would remember the conversation she had with Yue Yunxi that night when she picked it up from the brocade shop. It was just like Pandora's box, the memories it evoked were filled with ambiguous…

The next day, Yue Yunxi had an open class on cello teaching at the Nanquan University Conservatory of Music, so she left home a little after two in the afternoon. After watching her car drive out of sight, Lu You slowly wandered back to the study, sat on the sofa with one leg crossed, sorted out the invitations, and placed orders for same-city express delivery one by one. Half an hour later, she finished filling in the addresses of Lu Huai'an's friends, stretched and relaxed. On the sofa, the phone…

Chapter 56 "...How much of a chance do I have?" The bodyguard stood dutifully at the gate. After Lu You got out of the car, she went up to ask him if there had been any suspicious people loitering around in the past few days. "There were two. I felt they were a bit off, but I haven't seen them do anything strange yet, so I can't be sure if they're with the previous guy. The surveillance cameras should have caught them. You can take a look. They were wandering back and forth on this road three or four…

Chapter 55: Like a Silent Empty Valley, Filled with Gentle Warm Spring Breeze Chapter 55 Like a Silent Empty Valley, Filled with Gentle Warm Spring Breeze The atmosphere in the kitchen felt like a solid frozen within the hands of time, melting away notch by notch as the second hand swept across the clock. Not knowing how many notches had melted away, Yue Yunxi put down the glass in her hand. The bottom of the glass collided with the marble countertop, making a crisp sound that broke the silence. Lu…

Chapter 54: A Precautionary Shot The next morning, Lu You was awakened by the sunlight streaming into the room and the chirping of birds. She picked up her phone and glanced at it, realizing it was still half an hour before her alarm was set to go off. The stuffed toy in her arms felt different from the one at home; it had less of a worn feel and more of Yue Yunxi’s unique, cool fragrance. It felt distinctly different. Lu You blinked groggily for a few seconds, then sat up in bed. She quickly changed…

Chapter 53: Soul Dance It was nearly ten o'clock at night when they returned home. After showing Yue Yunxi's grandmother and Auntie Liu, who was constantly yawning, around the study in the courtyard, she sent them back to their rooms, taught them how to use the various switches in the bathroom, and then excused herself. Lu You stayed in the room, waiting until her grandmother and Auntie Liu had both showered and were lying in bed, then plugged in the voice-activated night light on the bedside table…

"After using this, just leave it at your place." After Yue Yunxi finished speaking, she continued leading the way towards the supermarket. Following that brief interlude, the four-person procession shifted. Grandma dropped back a couple of steps to walk alongside Lu You. Auntie Liu went ahead to chat with Yue Yunxi about her granddaughter studying cello abroad. Under Grandma's watchful gaze, Lu You perfunctorily dabbed a bit of green balm behind her ears. After twisting the lid shut, she didn't hurry…

Chapter 51: Very Good Lu You lowered her eyes, her gaze fixed on the moon clay shaped like antlers that Yue Yunxi had pinned on her shoe. Curved, with the tips lightly dabbed with crimson powder, like a shy kiss on the antlers. The soft warmth that brushed against her ear was fleeting, making it hard to tell if it was an accidental touch, or... something intentional. The sliding door glided along the floor track, slowly reaching its end, and Yue Yunxi retreated to her original position along with…

Chapter 50 Jealousy Lu You had originally thought that Yue Yunxi's secret base would be far away. Unexpectedly, it was only a twenty-minute drive from Lanwan. It felt like searching for something right under your nose. Plane trees lined the road all the way until the car turned right, heading towards the wide entrance of a residential complex. Lu You noticed the large characters on the deep gray wall, outlined in gold by the lights - "Yun Qi · Bamboo Rhythm Jiangnan." She jokingly asked, associating…
