Very few men wear white s.h.i.+rts, but it was undeniable that Fu Tingyu looked really good in a white s.h.i.+rt.

Fu Tingyu heard the door open and looked up. He saw the girl's thin figure walk over. His eyes were locked on her.

Qin Shu walked to the desk and stood still. The man's stare made her feel a little helpless.

“The day after tomorrow, I will have two days off from school. After that, it's the college entrance exam.” What Qin Shu really wanted to ask is what she'd do at the company during summer vacation.

Fu Tingyu put down the pen in his hand, turned the leather chair, and faced the girl. “Bao'er, come here.”

The man's deep voice was masculine. It carried some kind of charm that made Qin Shu move without her knowing.

The man grabbed her arm. The next thing you know, Qin Shu was in the man's arms.

Fu Tingyu stretched out his slender fingers and smoothed the hair on Qin Shu's forehead behind her ears. He looked into the girl's start, bright eyes with his dark eyes, and said in a low voice, “I've already arranged the hotel rooms. Ye Luo will send you and little Yan to the hotel.”

Qin Shu nodded obediently. “Okay.”

Fu Tingyu suddenly leaned forward, and Qin Shu could not help but lean back. Her back was right against the edge of the dark brown desk.

He leaned closer to her and stared at her for a long time before asking in a low voice, “Do you want me to go with you?”

As long as his Bao'er asked him to go with her, he would cancel everything on his schedule.

Qin Shu thought of how busy Fu Tingyu had been recently and could not help but feel a little sorry for him. If she asked him to go with her, it would definitely make his future schedule even busier.

Qin Shu shook her head. “It's ok. It's just an exam. Ye Luo will be accompanying me, you can rest a.s.sure and take care of your work. Otherwise, you'll be even busier.”

Qin Shu thought that there was no need to arrange the hotel in advance. It's always the same hotel anyway.

A trace of disappointment flashed through the man's pitch-black eyes.

“Are you nervous about the college entrance exam?”

Qin Shu smiled and shook her head. “Not really. I'll treat it like a normal exam. I'll definitely get into Imperial College.”

The man said softly, “A local university is not too bad, you know.”

“But never as good as Imperial College. Besides, didn't you say that you wanted to enter Imperial College? I'm a woman of my word. I've already made a promise with Ye Xue to go to Imperial College together.”

Qin Shu said it matter-of-factly.

Fu Tingyu paused. Did he say that he wanted her to attend Imperial College?

Imperial College was so far from Jiang City…

Qin Shu then said, “Imperial College is not too far from Jiang City. It's four hours by high-speed rail, and even faster by plane.”

Fu Tingyu was speechless. That's very far away. Was Imperial College closer to Jiang City than Linxi Middle School?

“I haven't traveled far before. This can be considered training for my independence. Don't worry, I can take care of myself.”

Qin Shu talked on and on. She didn't notice that the man was looking worried and uneasy.

Independence?

He glanced at the big desk behind the girl and suddenly stood up. Looking at her, his eyes darkened. “What do you think of the desk behind you?”

Qin Shu turned her head and glanced at the desk behind her. The desk was very big. It was even big enough for a person to lie on top of it and rest.

The surface of the desk was smooth. It s.h.i.+ned under the light.

She smiled and said, “Not bad.”

The man's tall and straight figure suddenly pressed down on Qin Shu, then he whispered into the girl's ear.

Qin Shu froze.

Outside the window, the wind blew. The top of the tree swayed in the wind, and there was the sound of rustling leaves. Occasionally, the cries of insects could be heard, as if they were talking about the stuffy heat of summer.
