Stealing Your Heart

While Lin Xinyan was locked away in the backyard, the two kids had gotten used to the life here. Every day after meal, they would wander around in the village. It was a village with picturesque scenery, and the children enjoyed themselves very much. They treated themselves as a tourist, experiencing the village life to the fullest.

Yesterday, Lin Ruixi heard from an old grandma that It was the season for persimmons now. Wild persimmons could be found on the mountain to the west. Lin Ruixi had eaten all kinds of fruits before, but she had never eaten handpicked persimmons from the mountains. Therefore, she was curious about it and begged Zong Jinghao to bring her to the mountains.

Zong Jinghao would never say no to his daughter. Therefore, after breakfast, he brought two children with him to the mountains with the bodyguards. Shen Peichuan went with them, while Su Zhan and Qin Ya stayed back to hold the fort.

Bai Yinning didn’t go to the mountains due to his immobility.

When Lin Xinyan came in from the back door, the front yard was empty. Bai Yinning had gone to deal with the company’s affairs, while Su Zhan was holding a freshly plucked wild chrysanthemum flower, trying to impress Qin Ya. As for Qin Ya, she was squatting by the river washing the children’s clothes. The river was clear, but it was a bit cold due to the changing season. The washing machine would be good to have now, but unfortunately, there wasn’t one here.

Su Zhan stretched his head out quietly and handed the flower to her, “Does it smell good?”

Qin Ya stared at him angrily, “Get lost! Can’t you see that I am washing clothes?” She continued, “Don’t you know that giving a chrysanthemum flower as a gift is a bad sign to the receiver? Do you wish that I am dead?”

Generally, women loved receiving roses, daisies, and other types of flowers. But she had never seen anyone giving out chrysanthemum flower to a living person.

Su Zhan lowered his head awkwardly and blinked his eyes innocently while looking at the purple and pink chrysanthemum flowers. The flowers are beautiful, aren’t they? Only this type of flowers can be found in this season.

“I didn’t mean to curse you.” Su Zhan felt wronged and upset.

Out of frustration, he tossed the flowers into the river. The river looked more lively with the bright flowers in it.

“Su Zhan, what’s wrong with you?” Su Zhan pointed the river with a frown, “Why would you toss the flowers into the clear river? Are you trying to pollute it?”

Su Zhan was speechless.

What the…

Why can’t I do anything right?

It’s not hazardous waste either. What can the flowers do to the river?

“Pick them up.” Qin Ya stared at him. Su Zhan’s jaw dropped open as his eyes widened in shock. Pick them up? But how? The flowers had drifted away with the water.

However, his gaze fell on her hands. He saw the redness in her hands due to the cold water so he pulled her hands and wanted to warm them for her, “Let me rub your hands for you.”

Qin Ya shook off his hands and said, “Don’t change the topic. I didn’t ask you to rub my hands for me.”

Su Zhan was standing on the rock by the river while he was holding Qin Ya’s hands. As she shook off his hand with a great force, he lost balance and fell into the river. With a thud, water splashed onto Qin Ya’s body.
