After that, Lu An sent someone to investigate Jiang Qingchi’s background.

Jiang Qingchi’s family background could be considered clean, and he was also considered poor.

He was more promising and was admitted to the good university where Jin Nian was. He worked hard to earn his tuition fee every semester and did not need the help of his relatives and friends at all.

He was good-looking and had an ex-girlfriend, but only one.

From these background checks, this person was hardworking and motivated. He was a good and reliable man with great potential for future development.

On Lu An’s eighteenth birthday, Jin Nian gave him a book called “The Little Prince”.

Lu An didn’t dare to say that he had a photographic memory, but this book was only tens of thousands of words. He could still recite it backward.

He wasn’t really interested in this kind of book, but since it was a gift from Jin Nian, he still read it word by word.

“My rose is always two-faced. I was too young at that time. 1 didn’t know how to love her or how to treat her well…”

When Lu An read the book, he was also very young. He was ignorant and didn’t know how to love Jin Nian or how to treat her well.

However, he could choose to let go and let Jin Nian find her favorite.

He knew better than anyone else that liking someone couldn’t be forced just because he had liked Jinnian before.

During the winter break of her sophomore year, Lu An called Jin Nian one night to tell her that the red string on his wrist had faded and that he needed a new one.

Jin Nian remembered the matter of the red rope and said in surprise, “Lu An, you actually took a fancy to the red rope 1 gave you!”

“Didn’t you say that the red rope is used to ward off evil spirits? There’s no harm in believing it.”

“I thought you didn’t believe in these things.”

“Why are you so long-winded? Make a red string and give it to me.”

“Lu An, why are you so annoying?” Jin Nian was helpless.

When Lu An heard this, he laughed. “1’11 annoy you for the last time.”

At that time, Jin Nian didn’t understand the meaning behind his words.

Although she said that Lu An was annoying, she still turned the house upside down before she found the red rope. She sat down and meticulously weaved the red rope. Her fingers were nimble. A new and beautiful red rope was woven in a few minutes.

However, he never had the chance to give the red rope to Lu An. The deadline for giving it to him kept dragging on.

Jin Nian chose to work during the winter vacation. Fortunately, there was a flower shop that needed a temporary worker, and she successfully got the interview.

The lady boss of the flower shop was a very beautiful woman in her thirties. She had the same surname as Lu An, and her name was Lu Shi. She had a cute and sensible son, but unfortunately, her husband died in the line of duty a few years ago.

Although the salary of working in the flower shop was not high, it was better than being idle. The lady boss was a kind and gentle person. Jin Nian often played with her son.

Perhaps every girl once wanted to open a flower shop and want to be surrounded by fragrant and beautiful flowers every day.

Jin Nian liked those flowers very much. Even though she only wandered around the shop every day, her mood always improved.

During the winter vacation, her relationship with Jiang Qingchi improved by leaps and bounds. They were ambiguous and close to becoming a couple.

At that time, Jin Nian had just confessed straight to the point to Jiang Qingchi. Sometimes, her overly straightforward personality made people feel that she was a little nerdy.

In the past few months, Jin Nian had comforted and accompanied Jiang Qingchi as a good friend because he had fallen out of love.

A few months was not a short period. Jin Nian had to make things clear. She didn’t want Jiang Qingchi to misunderstand that she only treated him as a friend. If Jiang Qingchi also liked her, they could continue dating as a couple. If Jiang Qingchi didn’t like her, Jin Nian wouldn’t ever bother him too much.

Jin Nian wasn’t in a hurry to get an answer. She was willing to give Jiang Qingchi time to consider his answer.

However, Jiang Qingchi quickly gave his answer. He said that he liked Jin Nian too and wanted to try to be together.

In the early hours of the morning, Jin Nian generously posted on WeChat Moments, saying that she was no longer single and it was a new day.

Countless WeChat friends liked and gave their blessings.

What Jin Nian didn’t realize was that Lu An had once liked her post and then unliked it.

However, their lives after they got together were not much different from before.

During the winter vacation, Jiang Qingchi returned to his hometown. Jin Nian and him were far away from each other, so they could only keep in touch on their phones.

That day, Jin Nian was working in a flower shop when a boy who was close to Lu An came.

The boy asked her, “If someone is going abroad, what kind of flowers should I give?”

Jin Nian thought for a moment and said, “Daffodils..”
