After the weather turned warm, the thick coats at home had already been put away. The next morning, Lin Gantang stood in the cloakroom and merrily looked through her clothes.

The brand new clothes for the season had already been sent to her house. Lin Gantang took a glance at the sweater that slightly revealed her waist and happily picked it up to put it on.

She suddenly paused and took out her phone.

“Tangtang?” Wen Yanqing’s voice was heard.

“Are you going to the bookstore today?” Lin Gantang asked.

“I have a meeting today. I won’t be going to your place for now,” Wen Yanqing said.

Lin Gantang was delighted. “You’re busy? It’s okay. I won’t meet you today. I’ll go home for dinner after I’m done.”

“Okay.”

Lin Gantang kissed the phone and cheerily hung up. Then, she joyfully changed her clothes and revealed her small waist.

The bookstore was about to open for business. Lin Gantang realized that, in recent times, there were many people who were willing to come to the bookstore to adopt cats. She decided to go to the shelter to bring back a few cuties and quarantine them.

The bookstore was big, so it was not a big deal if no one adopted them.

After making a trip, Lin Gantang returned to the shop and was surprised to see Che Qin.

Che Qin was thinner than before, but she was in good spirits. She was full of energy and walked happily over when she saw Lin Gantang.

“Better?” Lin Gantang went up to her and asked with a smile.

“The doctor said there’s no problem.”

“That’s great.” Lin Gantang was happy for her.

“I came to give you a gift.” Che Qin took out a small box with a pearl hair string inside. She said shyly, “I don’t have much money. I can only afford this. I remember that you’ve currently taken a liking to pearls.

“It’s not worth much. I hope you don’t mind,” she said as she stuffed the pretty box into Lin Gantang’s hands.

She was very grateful for Lin Gantang’s help during this period of time and wanted to give her a gift to express her gratitude.

“Thank you, I like it very much.” Lin Gantang smiled as she picked up a hair tie to tie her loose and curly long hair. “Does it look good?”

“When I saw it, I thought it would suit you, and it does.” Che Qin revealed a pure smile.

Lin Gantang brushed her long hair, liking it very much.

“Do you want to take a walk by the river?”

Che Qin nodded.

For a long time, she did not dare to go out for a walk, afraid that her drug addiction would kick in. Now that she had recovered, she felt that the air was exceptionally fresh.

The Yuanshui River flowed slowly. The spring breeze blew across the river surface, bringing with it the damp smell of the river waters.

Friends accompanying each other, river birds passing by occasionally, and colorful bubbles blown by children – an atmosphere of freedom and happiness filled the air.

Che Qin leaned against the fence by the river in a relaxed manner.

“What are your plans?” Lin Gantang stood beside her and looked at the Ferris wheel in the distance.

“Find a new job. I lied to my dad that I went out to work,” said Che Qin. “Now I’m saying that I quit that job and came back.”

“If you have any difficulties, you can look for me,” Lin Gantang said.

Che Qin shook her head. “You’ve already helped me a lot. I plan to continue looking for a job related to art. It would be best if it has a staff dormitory. I don’t really want to go home.”

Che Qin gradually had the idea of escaping from the life arranged by her father. It might be a good thing for her. Lin Gantang joked. “Don’t you want to find a rich partner?”

Che Qin smiled. She felt relieved. “Of course I do. Who doesn’t want to marry a rich partner? But before finding a partner, I should support myself first.”

“Good luck. My family all said that the sunflower oil painting you gave me is beautiful. You can do it.” Lin Gantang encouraged her. “Maybe your paintings will be priceless in the future.”

Che Qin laughed heartily.

They chatted leisurely in the river breeze until they heard a panicked ‘help’. Lin Gantang and Che Qin immediately turned their heads to look..
