Chapter 8

As Valentine’s Day drew closer, Lu Che completely turned into a walking calendar, eagerly counting down the days.

His behavior greatly piqued my curiosity, and after probing him several times, I found out he had prepared a big surprise for me.

“What is it?” I asked expectantly, my fingers lightly scratching the chin of the man in my arms.

Lu Che hummed contentedly, but refused to spill anything.

I looked at him in surprise and praised how well he was holding his ground this time.

At once, he rolled over on my lap, his expression lazily smug.

“Just wait patiently, you’ll definitely love your gift!”

He stubbornly refused to say anything more, so I bent down and kissed his forehead as a reward.

With Lu Che’s endless coaxing, I agreed to wait patiently until the day the surprise arrived.

Unfortunately, someone didn’t give me the chance.

On the eve of Valentine’s Day, I was cooking noodles in the kitchen when my phone, set aside nearby, wouldn’t stop ringing. I wiped my hands and opened WeChat, only to find the Mutual Friends Group had exploded again.

Words like “Damn, I’m so jealous!” and “As expected of Little Fairy Gu” were flooding the screen. Out of curiosity, I scrolled up to check the chat history.

It all started with a video posted by Gu Siyin.

Puzzled, I tapped open the video. The next moment, my eyes widened involuntarily and my breathing lightened.

Inside a velvet box lay a pair of Pink Diamond Earrings, their color pure and radiant. The facets shimmered dazzlingly under the light, leaving me speechless.

As the camera zoomed in, the Pink Diamond was displayed from every angle-its transparency, clarity, and saturation were all absolutely perfect.

I was awestruck.

This little lady really had something up her sleeve.

I was considering jumping on the bandwagon and posting something too when Lu Che suddenly appeared in the group, sending a bewildered emoji.

Then, he started frantically tagging Gu Siyin.

L: Siyin Doesn’t Eat Coriander, are you crazy?
L: Siyin Doesn’t Eat Coriander, are you crazy?
L: Siyin Doesn’t Eat Coriander, are you crazy?
L: Siyin Doesn’t Eat Coriander, are you crazy?
L: Siyin Doesn’t Eat Coriander, are you crazy?
…

I paused, slowly typed a “?” on the screen.

Then Lu Che dropped a bombshell in the group chat.

“Gu Siyin! I spent half a month racking my brains for a surprise, and you just ruined it like that?” he said angrily in a voice message.

“Couldn’t you have waited a few more days to show off?”

There was a lot packed into that message. I scratched my head, honestly unable to figure out what was going on.

Soon, a video call from Lu Che popped up.
