Shen You looked up at Qi Ji. Qi Ji did not lower his eyes immediately, but forced himself to look at Shen You, making himself look as if everything was really fine.

Shen You was waiting for Qi Ji to speak, but Qi Ji didn't dare to open his mouth, fearing that he would expose his own weakness once he spoke.

For a long time, neither of them spoke.

Finally, it was Shen You who broke the silence. She took a sip of water and smiled gently, "The cup is not dirty. It looks very nice and very clean."

When Shen You smiles, two shallow dimples appear on her face, her eyebrows are curved, and her smile is like the warm sunshine in March, warming people's hearts.

Qi Ji felt relieved and sat down. He always felt that when Shen You spoke, she was not talking about the cup but about him.

He said softly, "If you like it, I'll give you this set of teacups. It's just sitting here empty."

It would be awkward to refuse at this time, so Shen You accepted it and said, "Thank you, but is there anything special about this set of teacups? This is the first time I use something so precious, and I'm afraid there will be some mishaps."

Seeing Shen You cherish the teacup so much, Qi Ji relaxed his brows and said with a smile: "It's nothing precious. But this set of teacups is called Jiangnan Spring. It is said that on March 3rd, facing the midday sun, you can see the scenery of Jiangnan. But I only heard it, I don't know if it's true or not."

Shen You held the teacup and observed it for a while, then gave up and said, "Then I'll take a look in March next year. It will definitely be very beautiful."

"Yeah." Qi Ji looked at Shen You's smile and couldn't help but smile, "The scenery in Jiangnan is indeed beautiful."

"But I wanted to come and play with you today. Look, the weather is so nice, let's go to the mountains to play." Shen You finally returned to the topic.

"Okay. Ah Zhao has taken care of me for a long time. He is resting now. Why don't we disturb him?"

"Well, Ning has her own things to do, so it's just the two of us."

It was late autumn now, and the leaves on the mountains were falling one after another, like red and yellow butterflies dancing, holding a grand dance party for the coming of winter.

The trees here are quite old and tall, and the sunlight pours down, providing light specifically for the dance party.

Stepping on the leaves, Shen You couldn't help but think that these leaves would be good as fertilizer. He would try it when he got back. Maybe his seedlings would grow better.

As he thought about it, Shen You jumped up and down.

Qi Ji walked quietly behind her, but not slowly, occasionally following Shen You's gaze to see what aroused her interest.

However, in the end Qi Ji realized that they were just a few leaves.

Shen You happily told Qi Ji about the plants here, saying that Aning would definitely stop to take a look when she saw them. Even the most insignificant things could be considered medicinal herbs to her.

"Are you happy?" Qi Ji spoke with some doubt and caution.

He knew that asking this might disturb Shen You's mood, but he still couldn't help asking.

"Happy." Shen You was walking in front. In fact, she had been paying attention to Qi Ji's emotions but she didn't show it much.

"Are you asking me why I'm happy?" Shen You asked.

"Yeah." Qi Ji was silent for a while, then answered.

Shen You smiled and said, "There's no reason. Everyone is happy for different reasons. Ah Ning thinks that on rainy days, drinking a cup of tea, curling up in bed, playing... reading a book is happiness. I think it's such a nice day, with no clouds in the sky, and the air is clear, and it's a pleasure to come and look at the big tree."

"I don't know what makes you happy, but you can always find the most comfortable way of life for yourself. Even if it doesn't mean much in the eyes of others, you feel happy, and that's all."

"I brought you out not because I wanted you to feel my happiness, but purely because I thought that maybe a change of place might give you some inspiration."

Shen You said this, feeling extremely anxious, as if this was what Yun He had taught her, and it must be right.

Qi Ji looked at the surroundings. He didn't think there was anything beautiful about the sky and the trees, but Shen You's happy look made him feel like his tense state seemed to relax a little.

This was actually part of Shen You’s plan, using her own happiness to infect others. What is this called, some energy field?

Shen You doesn’t remember clearly.

The wind leaves traces, love leaves voice.

Shen You cares for everyone around her. Without harming the interests of others, she is willing to use her energy field to warm others.

Sometimes, Yunhe told her that with her personality, she should study psychology.

Shen You refused, saying that to a certain extent, studying psychology would save the lives of rich people, while studying agriculture would save the lives of poor people.

She is willing to walk a thorny path that no one is willing to take, in order to pave a way out for others.

She only said these words to Zhou Ning. Zhou Ning said that although she didn't quite understand her selfless behavior, she still supported her silently.

At that time, Shen You smiled and said, "Because loving someone is my instinct. I am also very fortunate that because of this instinct, I don't live numbly."

Shen You saw that there was more brightness in Qi Ji's eyes and breathed a sigh of relief. The child was finally a little happy.

"Are you feeling happier now? If you find a way to make you feel particularly happy in the future, you can tell me. You can tell me one of your wishes and I will try my best to help you realize it." Shen You said.

This is how Shen You coaxed Zhou Ning when they were little, and every time she would just coax him over with a bag of spicy strips.

"I'm not three years old either, you don't have to coax me like this." Qi Ji's voice was still gentle when he said this.

"You are just a child." Shen You didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Suddenly, he remembered that ancient times and modern times were different, so he shut up.

Qi Ji never felt like a child. Since he was young, he always felt that he should be able to stand on his own, otherwise he would be bullied. His grandmother also had high hopes for him, hoping that he would be mature and steady, and have the responsibilities that a man should have.

After hearing Shen You's words, Qi Ji didn't know whether he was an adult or a child, so he remained silent.

"Okay, are you hungry? You haven't had a good meal in the past two days. Tell me what you want to eat and I'll make it for you." Shen You said.

Qi Ji shook his head gently and said softly, "You must be tired these past two days. Let's go back and rest first."

Shen You nodded.

The two went back together.

On the way back, Shen You picked some plants from time to time. This place is deep in the mountains and Zhou Ning doesn't come here often, so he picked more and showed it to Zhou Ning to see if there are any that she is interested in.

Qi Ji packed the teacups, put them in a wooden box, wiped them clean, and handed them to Shen You.

When Zhou Ning saw it, he thought: If someone didn't know, they would think it was a jade seal.

However, Qi Ji naturally didn't hear Zhou Ning's complaints. He just smiled at Zhou Ning and left.
