Qin Shu had already fallen asleep when Fu Tingyu returned to the bedroom.
He went into the bathroom to take a shower. When he came out of the shower, he only casually put on a robe.
He walked over to the bed and sat down. He lowered his eyes to look at the girl's peaceful sleeping face. It felt as if he could not get enough of her no matter how much he looked at her. He felt that even if he were to look at her for the rest of his life, it still wasn't enough.
After looking at her for a long time, he went to bed. He laid down beside the girl and turned off the light.
It was pitch black in the bedroom.
Fu Tingyu closed his eyes and listened to the girl's shallow breathing as he gradually drifted off to sleep.

The next day, at the dining table.
Fu Tingyu was eating a bowl of fish porridge set down in front of him. He ate elegantly.
Qin Shu ate her porridge and glanced at the man across her. She thought of the mock exam today and said, "I have a mock exam today. Will I get a reward if I do well?"
Fu Tingyu looked up. "What reward do you want?"
The man's focus was on what she wanted, not whether she had the ability to do well in the exam.
This was him doting on her.
Qin Shu looked at the man across her, her eyes full of anticipation. "If I do well in the exam, can you teach me how to play the piano?"
Fu Tingyu had already achieved the highest possible level in piano playing from the Royal School of Music and had taken first place in an international competition.
When he was still in school, he was called the Prince of Piano by his classmates. He had just as many fans as the most famous actor in the country.
In his previous life, Fu Tingyu had taught her how to play the piano. That period of time was a beautiful memory between him and her.
Playing the piano could make someone calm down. It could also help them forget their worries and immerse themselves in the music.
Fu Tingyu paused, his chopsticks froze mid-action. It seemed that he had not expected this to be what the girl wanted.
Even if the girl did not get good grades, he was willing to teach her as long as she wanted to learn.
He nodded. "Okay."
"Then it's a deal."
Qin Shu smiled happily. Her two small canine teeth could be seen between her red lips. They were so white and dazzling.
The man's eyes darkened a little. He licked his lips as if he was holding back.
After breakfast-
Qin Shu picked up her school bag. She was not in a hurry to walk out. Instead, she moved closer to the man and kissed him. When she left, there was still a smile on her lips as she said, "Wait for my good news."
Then, she turned around and ran out of the living room.
Fu Tingyu watched as the girl's figure disappeared at the entrance. His slender fingers did not touch the cheek that the girl had kissed, but his own lips. She should have kissed him here.
Ever since the girl changed, he found himself getting more and more greedy.
Shi Yan, who was standing at the side, watched as master four's slender fingers reached for his lips...
Sir's hands were pale and slender with well-defined joints. They were a very good-looking pair of hands and were very suitable for playing the piano.
He was confused for a moment. Didn't Madam kiss Sir's face?
Why did Sir touch his lips?

Fu Tingyan waited at his usual spot. He watched as Qin Shu opened the car door and fastened her seat belt. This had already become a habit.
He and Jiang Yu had seen a lipstick advertisement a few days back.
Jiang Yu had even complained that the lips of a female celebrity were a little thick and didn't look good.
Fu Tingyan's gaze drifted to Qin Shu's lips. It was undeniable that her lips were really beautiful.
Then, he looked away.
He started the engine and drove to the school.
He thought of the mock exam today. He would be able to know whether Qin Shu could make it to the Imperial College once the results of the exam were released.
All was silent.
When they reached the usual place, Fu Tingyan parked the car by the roadside.
Qin Shu pushed open the car door and got out. She closed the car door and walked towards the school. This had already become like second nature to her.
Fu Tingyan waited for Qin Shu's figure to disappear around the corner before driving into the school.
