Grace: !!!
Qin, are you looking for a beating?
If she could beat him, she would have punched him.
"No!" Grace turned her head and gritted her teeth, "I'm disgusted!"
Unexpectedly, a man's hearty laughter echoed through the air.
Grace ignored him and walked away.
Qin Yunxi followed her, asking, "Hey, Rong Jingshu is dating someone who looks innocent and hasn't grown up yet, aren't you sad?"
Grace: ...
So Qin Yunxi was here to mock her? To see if she would cry? If she would be sad?
"Sorry, not as you wished!" Grace's tone intensified.
Qin Yunxi pouted and defended himself, "Don't talk about me like that, brother isn't a petty person."
Grace: "You are!"
"You are!"
The two walked side by side, chatting and bickering, occasionally making physical contact.
Unbeknownst to them, their "loving" interaction was captured by Feng Linwan, who was also busy by the riverbank, and she took photos with her camera.

Du Ruoxin returned to the old house with Rong Jingyang and their daughter, only to see Rong Jingshu and Ai Tai'en holding hands, looking incredibly affectionate and sweet.
She was struck by lightning!
What was going on!
What happened in the two hours she was gone?
How did Jingshu get together with Ai Tai'en?
She rushed to find Grace and saw her friend beaming, looking radiant, as if she had undergone some kind of baptism.
So beautiful!
Du Ruoxin was once again bewildered.
"Rong Jingshu and I are not suitable," Grace said proactively, seeing Du Ruoxin's arrival and knowing what she wanted to ask. "I'm the one who set him up with Ai Tai'en."
Du Ruoxin: →.→
Linking her friend's arm, she sighed, "Alas—"
"You, I finally found a man worthy of you, why would you push him to someone else?"
"Don't say you're not suitable!"
"It's clearly because you don't want to!"
Now that Jingshu and Ai Tai'en were a done deal, Du Ruoxin couldn't break them up no matter how much she wanted to.
Grace smiled gently and didn't retort.
Du Ruoxin felt a little upset and tightened her grip on Grace's arm, "You're so annoying."
"I can't even be sisters-in-law with you by marrying into the Rong family."
After a pause, her eyes lit up, "How about my Jingwen?"
Before Grace could speak, Du Ruoxin rejected the idea herself, "No, he's also a playboy, and he hasn't even grown up yet."
"What should I do?" she looked at her friend resentfully, "The Rong men are all too young."
Grace couldn't stand Du Ruoxin and burst into laughter, "Then introduce me to a good Rong man when he grows up?"
Du Ruoxin narrowed her starry eyes, "You said it? You can't go back on your word!"
Grace nodded with a smile, "Mm."
No going back.
It's just that she doubted if the Rong men could accept an age-gap relationship, one that was more than ten years.
Du Ruoxin knew her friend was joking and let it pass.
"Oh, right, I saw you throwing stones just now, who were you hitting?" she asked gossipy, regretting not seeing the person.
Grace: "A dog."
Du Ruoxin: ...
Grace: "A wild dog."
Du Ruoxin: ...
Were there wild dogs in her backyard? Impossible!
Who was that person?
Du Ruoxin's heart was burning with curiosity.
"Achoo—"
The Great Master Qin, referred to as a "wild dog," sneezed. Fortunately, he ran fast, or he would have been hit!
She smeared mud on his face when he wasn't paying attention.
What a petty, vengeful, and ugly woman!
Rong Jingyang glanced at his panting, disheveled friend and asked strangely, "What are you running from? Who's chasing you?"
Qin Yunxi caught his breath, "A dog!"
Rong Jingyang: ...
Qin Yunxi: "A wild dog!"
Messy all over, not bathing or grooming, an ugly wild dog!
At that moment, Qin Yunxi was unaware that it was precisely this woman, whom he considered a "crazy wild dog," who had quietly settled into his heart.
