Bai Ge pointed at several large boxes that had just been moved in, "I brought you a lot of gifts, including clothes, food, essential oils used by women over there, and red wine! You are an adult now, so you can drink again."

"Wow, so many delicious dishes! But, I thought you were going to cook it yourself, I overestimated you!" Bai Ge washed his hands and sat at the dining table, lamenting as if he was starving.

She seemed to have forgotten what happened some time ago, or what she did.

But Qin Yu didn't forget. She picked up a mussel with chopsticks and handed it to Bai Ge's plate: "Where's your uncle? Didn't he come back with us?"

"What uncle? You don't have an uncle."

The woman stared at Qin Yu with her dark eyes, her mouth curled up, and the smile spread all the way to her jaw.

To be honest, Bai Ge has an outstanding appearance, but she has a completely different style from her sister Bai Yuru from head to toe.

More outgoing and assertive, with ambition written all over the face, a kind of vibrant beauty.

Qin Yu froze for a moment.

"Ha ha--"

Bai Ge's laugh broke the frozen atmosphere. She held Qin Yu's hand and said, "Auntie was just joking! Xiaoyu, what are you thinking about? Your uncle didn't return home because he was not feeling well."

"Really? What's wrong? Is it serious?"

Qin Yu was frightened. She couldn't explain why that smile was so strange. It was the same person, but the face looked like someone else.

"It's an old problem, don't worry..."

After dinner, they sat on the sofa in silence for a moment.

Bai Ge was grinding the coffee she had taken out of the suitcase while looking up with a nostalgic look: "By the way, Xiaoyu, what are you studying in school now? The thing I regret most is that I was a bad student and didn't persist in finishing my studies like your mother did."

“I study law.”

"what!"

The sharp voice made Qin Yu look over instantly: on Bai Ge's face, she saw a broken expression for the first time, so unfamiliar.

"What's wrong?" Qin Yu asked.

As if she realized her own gaffe, Bai Ge forced a smile on her face, and stopped wiping the glass. She lowered her voice and asked, "Why did you study law? There are so many majors... Why - why didn't you discuss it with me when you signed up?"

Qin Yu drank a sip of water and regained consciousness - the person in front of him had changed, and he would not change because of his beautiful appearance.

"Aunt, are you afraid that I will send you to jail? I don't have that much power. As long as you don't gamble anymore, everything will be fine."

Qin Yu's heart couldn't calm down either. She lowered her head and looked at her intertwined fingers, and quickly finished her words.

Therefore, he didn't notice the drastic change on Bai Ge's face when he heard her first sentence...

"Xiao Yu...Aunt, why would you worry about this?" Another dry laugh echoed in the room.

"Auntie... I don't know how you know all this, but I forgot to tell you that I have completely stopped gambling. And I have redeemed the house left by your grandma. I will move back here in the future. It's close and I can take care of you. Auntie... I still want to spend more time with you. After all, you are the only relative left to me."

Qin Yu listened quietly without commenting.

"The company is running smoothly now. I just feel that studying law is too tiring, isn't it? Besides, you will have to take over my aunt's company in the future! Can't you change your major in college? Why don't you change your major? Change it to something that is compatible with—"

"What are you talking about?" Qin Yu couldn't help laughing. She thought her ears were wrong again. "It's impossible to change. This is my favorite major."

"You are my only dear relative. So, I sincerely hope that you really will stop gambling, and not just lie to me or trick me..."

Qin Yu looked at Bai Ge without avoiding the issue. "I don't need to emphasize to you how many people gambling has harmed. This time when you come back, don't touch it at all."

The tense atmosphere announced that the evening would end in a bad mood.

Qin Yu got back into Qi Wenyuan's car. "Sorry to have kept you waiting. Let's go back to school. She's already gone out. I talked to her about it. She's probably mad at me too. She won't show up for a few days."

Qin Yu estimated that Song Yuandai had finished her Hunan cuisine by now, so he decided to go back to school and tell her everything.

He rubbed his temple unbearably. It was painful in waves, as if countless tiny needles were pressing and pricking him.

At this moment, even the ordinary sound of closing the car door made Qin Yu feel heart-wrenching.

Qi Wenyuan responded "Okay", then brushed away the girl's hands that were "cruelly" rubbing his head indiscriminately.

The warm palm was just hovering on Qin Yu's forehead, and he felt waves of heat.

"Hmm - comfortable."

Fingers gently pressed on his temple, and for the first time, Qin Yu had a concrete experience of the word "comfort".

They rubbed each other quietly like this for a long time, neither of them speaking, enjoying the moment's peace.

After a long while, Qin Yu pushed Qi Wenyuan's hand away, dragged him to the passenger seat and sucked on him, then said with a smile: "Let's go, drive."

"That girl named Feng Nian deleted me after she finished speaking this afternoon. It seems that she only came here to expose me. I will tell Yuan Dai about this later and then ask Yuan Dai to add her back."

"I also have to call my uncle. Given my aunt's condition at night... I'm afraid something might happen to him."

That strange smile popped up in her mind again, but luckily it disappeared with a quick shake of her head.

Qin Yu didn't say the rest - after all, it's not surprising that people who are addicted to gambling would do anything.

Qi Wenyuan nodded and restarted the car.

He did find out recently that there was a large amount of money added to Bai Ge's account. It seems that Yu'er already knew about this...
