Ye Xingbei went along willingly, "Hello, Sister Fu."

"Hello, Beibei." Zhi Foliu smiled gently, her beautiful face becoming even softer and more graceful.

She had a slender and graceful figure, her skin as pure as jade, eyes as dark as ink, with delicate features and an elegant presence.

She wore the simplest clothes, a light smile on her face, her gaze fluid and gentle, as if a breeze had passed through a garden of flowers, possessing an enchanting beauty, clear and appealing, pleasing to the eye.

As the saying goes, everyone loves beauty.

This girl is not only beautiful but carries an excellent demeanor, and Ye Xingbei felt a liking for her at first sight.

No wonder her brother, Brother Li, smiled like a fool whenever he mentioned this Miss Ah Fu.

A girl this pretty, if she were a man, she would like her too!

Ye Xingbei offered the lotus roll and peony pastries she was holding, "Sister Fu, these are for you."

"Thank you." Zhi Foliu handed the book she was holding to Ye Xingli and accepted the box of sweets from Ye Xingbei with both hands.

Her smile deepened slightly, yet she still appeared serene and elegant.

Unlike Ye Xingbei’s best friend Yian Jingxue, who had a bright and cheerful smile, she had a gentle and noble demeanor typical of a lady.

Is this girl’s family very poor?

Not at all!

Ye Xingbei was quite puzzled.

She felt this girl’s aura much resembled that of a lady in a traditional drama, possessing a classic grace and poise, where every gesture could be part of a painting.

What sort of poor family could nurture such an elegant and well-mannered girl?

Perhaps... they were wealthy once but have fallen on hard times?

It’s possible!

After taking the box, Zhi Foliu handed it over to Ye Xingli, took back her book, and opened it to retrieve a red cord woven bracelet, "Beibei, this is my gift for you."

She handed the bracelet to Ye Xingbei.

Pointing at the stars and the buckle crafted into the bracelet with a red thread, she said, "This is called a Ruyi buckle, and the star represents you. When you wear it, it will bless you with good fortune and happiness. I wove it in my free time, hoping you’ll like it!"

"I like it, I really do!" Ye Xingbei accepted it with both hands, turning it over and over to inspect it.

The bracelet was made of a simple red cord, yet very exquisite. Both the star and the Ruyi buckle were quite beautiful, and Ye Xingbei liked it very much.

Of course, even more, she liked the sentiment behind Zhi Foliu’s gift.

Zhi Foliu showed her regard by weaving the bracelet to gift her, indicating she had Brother Li in her heart.

A girl who values her boyfriend would put thought into caring even for his family.

Her brother, Brother Li, liked this girl a lot, and this girl seemed to care very much for Brother Li too.

Now, half of her heart felt steady and secure.

Once Ye Xingli’s true identity is revealed and if their relationship can continue to grow, she’ll be able to be completely at ease.

"Beibei, Ah Fu, get in the car." Ye Xingli, like a gentleman, opened the car door for Zhi Foliu and Ye Xingbei.

He wore a radiant smile, his brows lifted and eyes bright, full of life, anyone could tell he was in a very good mood at the moment.

Zhi Foliu pressed her lips smiling at him, her gaze filled with tenderness and affection akin to a parent’s doting look at their child.

Ye Xingbei: "..."

Actually, there’s nothing wrong with this, right?

Maybe the girl just likes this sort of thing?

Everyone has their own way of life, as long as they’re happy, that’s enough!

"Ah Fu, I recall you’re free this afternoon, shall we head to the countryside for some local farm cuisine?" Ye Xingli asked Zhi Foliu happily.
