It was already three in the morning by the time she returned to the room. After a long and arduous day, Wen Xinya was extremely exhausted. Wen Xinya took a quick shower and snuggled up beneath her blanket in bed. Feeling extremely relaxed, she decided to give Si Yiyan a call.
Wen Xinya grabbed her mobile phone and unlocked it to see that she had several missed calls from Zhou Tianyu and her friends, as well as two missed calls from Xu Zhenyu. Staring at Xu Zhenyu’s name on her screen, she was reminded of his sudden appearance at her coming-of-age ceremony. She could not believe it at all.
At the thought of it, Wen Xinya took leaped off the bed and sat in front of the dressing table, on which there was an ancient-looking carved box. It was the gift that Xu Zhenyu had given her during the coming-of-age ceremony.
She opened the box slowly and got a great shock the moment she saw its contents.
It turned out to be a beautiful flower!


With shaky hands, she picked up the flower-shaped jade piece and gently caressed it.
The silver branches and emerald leaves were intertwined, accentuating the beautiful glow that the crisp and clear piece of jade exuded. It was intricate, exquisite and simply breathtaking.
She could not help but be reminded of the previous lifetime.
She had designed the jade piece after meeting Xu Zhenyu.
Back then, Wen Xinya was greatly agitated after Chu Jingnan fell in love with Xia Ruya, thus inspiring her to sketch the design.
After taking a good look at the sketch, Xu Zhenyu said,
Hey, Wen Xinya, I’ve realized that you’re rather talented in jewelry design. It’s the Wen Family’s loss for giving up such a talent like you.

Wen Xinya stared blankly at the design sketch.
Xu Zhenyu continued to rattle on,
I heard that your mother had an incredible flair for designing jewelry as well and that she was highly esteemed in the circle. You must have inherited that talent from your mother. Your mother may have passed away, but she gave you such precious skills. I bet your mother really loves you.

Wen Xinya felt incredibly annoyed and glowered at Xu Zhenyu before leaving with the design sketch.
Xu Zhenyu followed her and said,
Hey Wen Xinya, you haven’t told me what your design is about.



Wen Xinya glared at him and said,
Xu-er, how could you tell that I had incredible talent in jewelry design when you don’t even know what I have designed?

Xu Zhenyu chuckled and leaned closer.
I may not understand it, but it looks great to me.

Wen Xinya was momentarily speechless, though she felt less miserable.
That’s a type of flower-shaped jade piece that’s commonly used as precious hairpins for girls in ancient times. It’s intricate and exquisite and the manufacturing process is tedious too.

Xu Zhenyu secretly noted down the name of the item and decided to research about it on the internet later.
What flower is it that you’ve designed? It looks beautiful.

Although it was just a white-colored flower, it was breathtakingly beautiful and opulent, yet melancholic.
Wen Xinya grazed her finger across the sketch lightly and answered,
It’s the tea millet.

Xu Zhenyu was slightly taken aback by her answer. He did know quite a bit about tea millet, which floral lingo meant
The beauty of the ending
. It was the last flower in spring, after which it would no longer bloom beautifully. It was only during spring that it would bloom vibrantly.
Wen Xinya asked,
How much do you know about flowers?

Although there were four seasons, she was just like tea millet in spring, exuding all her vibrancy and beauty within a short period of three months, before withering.
Xu Zhenyu grasped her face and stared at her with charming eyes which were shaped like peach flowers.
Wen Xinya, you must have been possessed by Qiong Yao’s spirit! You’re so melancholic and gloomy. It really doesn’t seem like you to be so pessimistic…



Wen Xinya flew into a rage and smacked Xu Zhenyu’s hand away.
Xu-er, you must be courting death. You’re the one who’s possessed by Qiong Yao! So is your family!

Xu Zhenyu giggled and teased.
My family includes you.

Filled with a complicated mix of emotions, Wen Xinya scowled and corrected him.
Xu-er, are you sure you didn’t hit your head yesterday or today? Your surname is ‘Xu’ and mine is ‘Wen’. We don’t belong to the same family.

Xu Zhenyu teased.
Won’t we become family once you marry me?

Even Xu Zhenyu was shocked by the words he blurted out of recklessness. However, his mixed emotions and nervousness compelled him to give her an answer.
Greatly taken aback, Wen Xinya walked towards Xu Zhenyu and kicked him.
What the hell? Xu Zhenyu, are you out of your mind? Take a good look at me. How dare you say that you want to marry me? Aren’t you afraid that your grandfather will beat you up and break your legs? Besides… I’ve been addicted to drugs for so many years. I heard that drug addicts are prone to contracting HIV. Even if we get married, will you have the guts to get intimate with me? Aren’t you afraid of developing sexually-transmitted diseases?

She was not a dimwit. She was well aware that he was not just taking pity on her by being so concerned about her and taking care of her all the time while showering her with love.
She stared at her reflection in the French window, only to see how emaciated she had become because of her drug addiction. Standing beside Xu Zhenyu, she suddenly felt ashamed and hurriedly took a few steps back.
She did not deserve him at all!
Xu Zhenyu rushed forward and hugged her, asking in a raspy voice,
Why would you say that about yourself? Are you just trying to stop me from marrying you? Wen Xinya, I know that you’re a great girl. You’re smart, beautiful, kindhearted and the best girl I’ve ever met!



Wen Xinya suddenly sobbed and teared up.
Heck, Xu-er, are you alright!?! Everyone in the circle thinks that I’m boorish, bumpkin-like, silly, stupid, vicious, arrogant and tyrannical…

Xu Zhenyu pushed her body away and interrupted.
Everyone in the circle also says that I’m a wastrel and a scoundrel who has ruined his own life. We’re a perfect match!

Shocked out of her senses, Wen Xinya grew flustered and speechless.
Xu Zhenyu suddenly clutched his stomach and burst into laughter.
Oh dear, Wen Xinya, you’re so hilarious. I was just teasing you and you’re already so shocked. I might not want to marry you even if you want to. I’m not going to give up the entire sea for a single fish. If you want to marry me, you can do so in our next lifetime!

Wen Xinya heaved a sigh of relief and kicked him.
If you want to marry me, you also can do so in your next lifetime!

At the thought of everything that happened in her previous lifetime, Wen Xinya’s heart began to race and she suddenly felt confused about Xu Zhenyu’s reason for giving her such a gift. However, she decided not to dwell on it.
Wen Xinya touched the jade piece gently and caressed every line on it.
She then gently picked it up and stuck it in her hair. It was crystal clear and sparkling, greatly complementing her beauty!
She then removed it from her head and closed the box again, locking the jade piece inside before keeping the box in a hidden corner.
It’s time to talk about the jade!
