“What’s the use of good grades! The relationship between men and women is chaotic!” Qin Zhongde said, becoming angry again. “I’ll warn you again: I don’t care how many girlfriends you have outside! However, the girl in the video is already being recognized by Mayor Tang. If you continue to pester others, I shall immediately send you out of the country!”

Qin Huai raised his head when he heard these words. In fact, these past years, it wasn’t that he’d never thought of going to the United States to find Nan Shu; it was just that he didn’t dare. He didn’t know how to face Nan Shu. At first, Nan Shu had come to him crying and wanting his father to help, but in the end, his father had refused to help. Watching the Nan family’s downfall, Nan Shu went abroad.

Seeing that Qin Huai didn’t speak, Wu Huifang hurriedly pushed him. “Quickly promise your father that you won’t pester that girl again in the future.”

Wu Huifang’s hand tightened a little, and Qin Huai had no choice but to nod. “I understand. It won’t happen again in the future.”

Qin Zhongde glared at him. “Tell him well!” Then he raised his foot and left.

When Qin Zhongde left, Wu Huifang breathed a sigh of relief. “You too. There are so many girls—if this one is not good, just change to another one. Why make such a fuss? Your father is so angry. You don’t know this, but your father recently wanted to undertake a project, and the key was this Mayor Tang. How could your father not be angry when you make such a fuss? If this project continues, not only will our company benefit, but also your uncle’s company will also benefit. No, where are you going? Did you listen to what I told you?! How can you be so ignorant!”

Qin Huai walked out of the house and finally could not hear his mother’s chattering words. He turned on his phone and looked at the group photos in that phone album that he was reluctant to delete, even after changing several phones. Nan Shu, where are you? I miss you so much! Only when I think of you can my heart receive a moment of peace!

But even if he was sick from longing, Qin Huai had never thought of going to the United States to find Nan Shu. He refused to admit that he was cowardly; he could only think that all good things would unexpectedly meet one day. The same went for Nan Shu—she would definitely come back.

On the other side, Jiang Shuxin took out her writing that had been baptized by the literature of youth for many years, used the plot given by Chengzi as the outline, and wrote an affectionate confession within 150 words. Then, along with a photo of Nan Shu, she forwarded these to Chengzi, who was well-connected.

Chengzi immediately logged on to Facebook and Instagram. He also pinged many friends, asking them to help forward.

What made this more widely known was an inadvertent retweet by a well-known American actor. More and more people forwarded comments, and finally, Nan Shu, the heroine of the story, saw it.

Nan Shu couldn’t hide her excitement. Her mother had died, and she was living at her grandparents’s house. Her grandparents and uncle had nothing to say, but her aunt and cousin had a lot of opinions about it. She really wanted to immediately go back to China and return to Qin Huai’s side. However, she lowered her head and touched her face. There was a scar on her left cheek. Her mother, who was depressed, had wanted to commit suicide with a knife. Nan Shu had gone to grab it, but the knife had slashed her face.

The wound was deep and dripping with blood.

If she wanted to restore her appearance, she would’ve had to spend a lot of money on plastic surgery. But her aunt didn’t want to pay the money.

Nan Shu had originally wanted to wait for her face to recover before returning to China. But now, she didn’t want to wait.

After thinking about it all night, Nan Shu finally made a decision. She told her grandparents and set foot on the plane back to China alone.

Nan Shu stood at the school gate, hesitated for a long time, and finally dialed the phone number from her memories. The moment the call was made, Nan Shu’s heart, which had been floating for a long time, finally fell. Qin Huai really had her in his heart.

“Hello? Who is it? Hello? I’ll hang up if you don’t speak anymore!” The voice on the phone was both familiar and unfamiliar, rendering Nan Shu unable to return to her senses for a long time.

When Nan Shu finally came back to her senses, the call had been hung up.

With tears in her eyes, she dialed the number again.

This time, she didn’t wait for Qin Huai to speak and said, “Qin Huai, it’s me, Nan Shu! I’m back!”

Not long after, on the campus of X University, a boy was seen rushing around.

When Qin Huai heard Nan Shu’s voice, he couldn’t believe his ears. He was stunned for a long time before he was convinced that this voice was Nan Shu! His Nan Shu, finally hearing his inner prayer, had come back! Who was Jiang Shuxin? Shen Suixin? In front of Nan Shu, who were they?

In the distance, Qin Huai saw the familiar figure. He stopped, slowly walked over, and finally stepped in front of her, wanting to see her face clearly.

However, she saw that Nan Shu was wearing a hat and mask. The wide brim of the hat covered her eyes, and he couldn’t see her expression clearly with the mask.

“Nan Shu!” Qin Huai’s voice trembled.

Nan Shu trembled when she heard Qin Huai’s voice, and she slowly raised her head. “Qin Huai.”

Qin Huai took Nan Shu to a nearby hotel and asked for a room.

In the room, Nan Shu slowly took off her hat and mask. Qin Huai looked at the scar on her face and widened his eyes. “How could this be?”

Perhaps because Qin Huai’s tone was too shocking, Nan Shu misunderstood that Qin Huai disliked her. Her eyes immediately turned red, and she was in a hurry to put the mask back on.

Qin Huai rushed over, took off the mask, and caressed her face with pity. “How did you get hurt? Who hurt you?!”

Nan Shu finally couldn’t bear it anymore, leaning into Qin Huai’s arms. These past few years of pain and sadness were pouring out.

Qin Huai listened and felt as if his heart were being held by a large hand. Nan Shu had grown up in a superior family, beautiful and gentle. She was a little princess who’d grown up in the palm of everyone’s hands—but his princess, when he didn’t realize it, had suffered so much.

And although he was not the source of all this, it was a fact that his father had refused to help after the Nan family accident. If Dad had made a shot at that time, Uncle Nan might not have died. If Uncle Nan hadn’t died, Nan Shu would not have gone abroad and would not have been injured. In the past few years, how had his Nan Shu gotten through?

Nan Shu was tired from crying and directly fell asleep in Qin Huai’s arms.

Qin Huai maintained this position and hugged Nan Shu tightly in his arms. During this period, Qin Huai’s cell phone kept ringing, but Qin Huai promptly turned off the cell phone so as not to disturb Nan Shu.

He knew that there was a very important competition today, and he was supposed to participate as the main player. But no competition was as important as Nan Shu.

Nan Shu slept until the evening and opened her eyes in a daze. Thinking that she was still in the United States, she said, “Grandma, what time is it?”

“Silly girl, see who I am?” Qin Huai’s tone was particularly gentle.

Nan Shu was a little embarrassed, and she sat up from Qin Huai’s arms.

Qin Huai smiled and wanted to stand up and move, but holding this position for a long time had made his whole body numb, and it hurt like he’d been stuck with needles.

Seeing this, Nan Shu quickly helped him massage his arms and legs.

Seeing Nan Shu, who was squatting in front of him and constantly massaging his legs for him, Qin Huai felt so distressed that he pulled Nan Shu up and put her on his lap. His princess shouldn’t be so low and small as to do such a thing.

“Nan Shu, you’re back. It’s great, I’ll be there in the future!”

Nan Shu nodded lightly. The only one she could rely on was Qin Huai.

Qin Huai moved his limbs slowly, then took Nan Shu to order food. After eating, he booked a room in the hotel. “You live here first. I have an apartment at Xiangshui Riverside, but it hasn’t been used for a long time. I have to find someone to clean it up. Then, you can move in. Now that you’re back, don’t worry about anything—leave it to me!”

Nan Shu had no relatives in the country and nowhere to go. When she came back, she had already planned to give everything to Qin Huai.

In the evening, the two finally blended together, and their souls and flesh became one.

Afterward, Qin Huai fondled the scar on Nan Shu’s face. “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely find a way to help you get rid of this scar! My Nan Shu is always perfect!

Nan Shu nodded lightly in Qin Huai’s arms.

The next day, Qin Huai ate breakfast together with Nan Shu before leaving the hotel. Then he turned on his phone, and the messages that followed outright caused his phone to freeze.

At this time, Qin Huai realized that things had gone badly.

After his phone was turned on and restarted, he looked at the seventy to eighty missed calls from people including his counselors, teachers, classmates, and of course, parents.

Qin Huai didn’t care much about the teachers. But on the parent’s side, one must communicate well.

Qin Huai thought for a while. Instead of going to school, he directly called his mother and made an appointment for them to meet outside.

Wu Huifang was anxious when she saw her son. “You finally appeared! What the hell are you doing! Do you know that everyone is looking for you?! How important do you think that competition was yesterday? Your father came and said he wanted to see his son receive the prize. But in the end, you didn’t come and couldn’t be found. Your dad is pissed!”

“Mom, I won’t talk about this now. I need your help.” Qin Huai interrupted Wu Huifang.

“No, did you cause some trouble? Did you get some other girls knocked up? How many?” Wu Huifang said with a frown.

Qin Huai wanted to explain it clearly, but he didn’t know what his parents’ attitudes towards Nan Shu would be if he rashly exposed Nan Shu. In the case that his parents said something ugly, Nan Shu might leave again. What was he going to do?

So Qin Huai acquiesced to what Wu Huifang said.

Wu Huifang glared at him, then took her cellphone out from her bag and transferred 100,000 yuan to Qin Huai. “Is it enough?” Qin Huai shook his head. He still had about 100,000 yuan in his hands.

In addition to this 100,000 yuan, although it was a lot, it was definitely not enough for the cost of plastic surgery. Besides, he wanted to give Nan Shu the best life. This money was far from enough.

Wu Huifang glared at him in disgust. “You! You piss me off so much!” Then she took a card from her wallet and handed it to Qin Huai. “There’s more than three million in the card. I earned it by buying stocks. The password is your birthday. Be safe in the future and don’t cause me any more trouble. Be calm these few days—don’t go home, and come back when your father’s anger passes. Do you hear me?”

“I know. Mom! Thank you, Mom, you’re the best!” Qin Huai took the card and smiled.

Wu Huifang rolled her eyes at him. “Alright, go back to school. Although I’ve comforted your teacher for you, you still have to explain it to the teacher. Don’t be so rash in the future, you know?”

“Mom, go get busy!” Qin Huai kissed Wu Huifang on the face and said many sweet words, successfully coaxing Wu Huifang into a smile.
