She had given him flowers, a red string, lollipops, and even books At that time, everyone was still young, mere children. Moreover, Lu An spent almost every birthday in Hong Kong, so the two of them couldnt even meet in person.

Therefore, every year, Jin Nian kept thinking about giving him gifts. Just this kind of intention was rare and commendable.

What Jin Nian remembered the most was Lu Ans 18th birthday.

At that time, Lu An didnt go to Hong Kong. After the spring festival, it was the second half of the third year of high school, the critical phase of the college entrance examination.

It was also the same winter when Binhai city had a rare snowfall. Jin Nian and Lu An had agreed to attend Northern University together after the college entrance examination.

Jin Nian had taken quite some time to decide and eventually chose to give Lu An a copy of The Little Prince, a beautiful adult fairy tale. Simultaneously, she also learned how to bake a cake.

He hadnt finished eating that cake, and after receiving The Little Prince as a gift, he had never seen it again.

In the days leading up to the spring festival, the entire Whale was on vacation. Jin Nians workload had lightened considerably, but she couldnt completely relax. She still had to bring some work home.

Previously, Lu An and Jin Nian had discussed the idea of going to Hong Kong. Seeing that Jin Nian was a bit reluctant, they decided to drop the idea.

Jin Nian thought she had escaped this time, but Teacher Tan believed it was a matter of etiquette. Lu An spoils you! You didnt visit his family in Hong Kong during your first year of marriage. Is that appropriate? And, if you dont go this year, are you telling me you wont go next year?

Jin Nian whispered, About next year Well see next year.

What about the year after next?

Well consider that in the year after next.

Hearing this, Teacher Tan pinched Jin Nian gently. Jin Nian! When I gave you this name, I didnt mean for you to postpone what you should do this year until next year!

Jin Nian playfully blinked her eyes. Jin Nian, just hearing it makes it sound distinguished and cultured! Never give up the faith! Mom, youre truly an outstanding teacher of the people, even my name is so cultured!

Never give up the faith. When she named Jin Nian, she hoped that others would remember, understand, and cherish her.

Jin Nian particularly liked her name. Someone had told her that this phrase was a.s.sociated with love. You had to never give up for love to continue. It sounded exceptionally romantic.

Tell me, youre not avoiding going because of what happened in Hong Kong during that summer, are you?

Jin Nian shook her head. No.

You didnt even inform us and went to Hong Kong on your own. At that time, the police called, saying your wallet was stolen, and you were crying and calling for your mom

Before Teacher Tan could finish her sentence, Jin Nian covered her mouth. These immature past events dont need to be brought up again, Mom. This matter is just too embarra.s.sing!

However, today, Teacher Tan was determined to go against Jin Nians wishes. Since Jin Nian wouldnt let her speak, she revealed everything to Lu An that evening.

At the dinner table, Lu An held a gla.s.s of white wine and took a few sips with his father-in-law.

While they were chatting, Teacher Tan teased Jin Nian. You dont even know that during the summer vacation after graduating from high school, Jin Nian secretly went to Hong Kong to look for you

Jin Nians face turned so red it seemed like it might start bleeding. Mom, please dont talk about this!

Seeing that Jin Nian was embarra.s.sed and upset, Teacher Tan smacked her lips. Alright, I wont say anything if you dont want me to.

After Jin Nian finished speaking, she immediately glanced unconsciously at Lu An. Lu An picked up his wine gla.s.s and took a small sip, his expression calm and composed.

At this moment, Lu An looked at Jin Nian with a mix of confusion, curiosity, and a hint of hard-to-express surprise in his eyes. Those emotions blended, but Lu An possessed a pair of alluring, pa.s.sionate eyes that made it seem like he was carefree and indifferent to everything.

Lu An didnt ask further questions but used his free hand under the table to gently pinch Jin Nians thigh.

She didnt want Lu An to know about her embarra.s.sing past, and she had never told him about it. She was afraid he would tease her, and she also worried that her lack of intelligence would make Lu An look down on her.

That night, when they returned home, Jin Nian and Lu An were in the bathtub. The warm water gradually submerged their bodies, and there was a rich layer of delicate foam on the waters surface.

Jin Nian had her hair tied up in a bun. The strands of hair on both sides of her face were wet, and her cheeks were slightly flushed.

Lu An had his hands resting on the edge of the bathtub. Jin Nian could see that his arms were covered with beautifully sculpted muscles and lively veins.

Since it was winter and they wore more clothing, Lu Ans right arm was covered in tattoos. Now, that arm was entirely exposed in front of Jin Nian, radiating a sense of wildness..
