Host! I told you to do a task! I didn't tell you to bbb.

The next afternoon.

Liu Yunshu chose an off-the-shoulder off-white knit top, paired with a light denim mini skirt, with a small star ornament pinned to the hem.

Her long hair was braided into a diagonal plait, with a pearl lace hair tie at the end.

She turned around in front of the mirror, revealing slender shoulders. The star necklace between her collarbones rested just at the edge of her knitwear neckline, its delicate light shimmering gently with her movements.

"That off-shoulder look is absolutely stunning!" Zhang Qi leaned closer and touched her shoulder line. "Even the top student, Shen, wouldn't be able to take his eyes off her!"

Liu Yunshu blushed slightly and said haughtily, "Of course, look who's wearing it."

"Look at this little smug face!" Zhang Qi reached out and pinched her cheek. "Hurry up and go downstairs, Shen Xue Shen is definitely waiting downstairs."

Liu Yunshu smiled and waved to them, then grabbed her beige handbag and ran downstairs.

As soon as I stepped out of the dormitory building, I saw Shen Shiyan leaning against the car, wearing light gray casual pants and a white shirt, with the sleeves rolled up to his forearms, revealing a simple silver chain on his wrist, looking down at his phone.

Hearing footsteps, he looked up and his gaze instantly fell on her exposed shoulder, his Adam's apple bobbing almost imperceptibly.

"You look beautiful today." He strode forward, naturally taking her hand, his fingertips gently brushing against the back of her hand. "But it's a bit windy, are you cold?"

Liu Yunshu shook her head, twirling the star ornament on her skirt: "I'm not cold. Look at this, doesn't it match my necklace perfectly?"

Shen Shiyan looked down at the swaying little ornament, then glanced at the star pendant between her collarbones, and chuckled, "It suits her. Yun Shu has the best taste."

He opened the passenger door and took out a light khaki knitted shawl from the glove compartment. "Put this on first, so you don't catch a cold."

Liu Yunshu obediently reached out her hand for him to put it on, and her fingertips touched his warm palm, making her cheeks even hotter.

Once inside the car, she noticed a small transparent box on the center console.

Inside was a handmade cream hair clip with a tiny blue crystal star attached, almost identical to the sapphire on her necklace.

"This is..." She picked up the hair clip, her eyes lighting up.

"I passed by a craft shop yesterday and thought I'd make one for you myself."

Shen Shiyan started the car, glanced at her, and smiled. "It just so happens that you have a pearl hair tie at the end of your hair today, so it makes a perfect pair."

Liu Yunshu gently stroked the blue crystal on the hair clip with her fingertips. The cool touch mixed with the delicate texture of the handmade cream glue warmed her heart.

She looked in the mirror and carefully fastened the hair clip to the side of her hair.

The blue crystal star sparkled in the sunlight, its blue and white contrasting perfectly with the pearl hair clip, making her features appear even more gentle.

"Does it look good?" Liu Yunshu asked Shen Shiyan, tilting her head as she lightly touched the new hair clip with her fingertips.

While waiting at a red light, Shen Shiyan turned around and took a closer look. "It's beautiful, even more beautiful than the ones I bought in stores."

A smile spread across his eyes. "Yun Shu looks good in anything."

Liu Yunshu looked at herself in the mirror with a smug grin and couldn't help but laugh: "When did you learn to do handicrafts, brother? This hair clip is even more exquisite than the ones I bought."

"I saw the shop assistant teach me a couple of steps, and since you like stars, I thought I'd give it a try." Shen Shiyan looked straight ahead, his tone casual.

But they didn't mention that after returning to the dorm last night, they practiced with the tutorial until midnight, ruining three of them before finally making this decent one.

Liu Yunshu chuckled inwardly, but didn't expose his "casualness."

She simply adjusted the position of the hair clip, turned her head to look at the street scene flashing past the window, and kept a smile on her face.

Shen Shiyan parked the car at a Western restaurant and helped his little girl out of the car.

The warm yellow light in the Western restaurant spilled onto the wooden dining table, and a small bunch of fresh lisianthus was placed on the corner of the table, its light purple petals creating an exceptionally gentle atmosphere.

Shen Shiyan pulled out a chair for her, pushed the menu in front of her, and gently tapped a page with his fingertip.

"The creamy mushroom pasta you mentioned wanting to eat last time was quite good here."

Liu Yunshu looked down and saw that the menu indeed listed "Signature Creamy Mushroom Spaghetti" with a small star icon next to it, clearly indicating that he had done his homework in advance.

She looked up at him and smiled, "How do you remember so clearly, brother?"

"I remember every word Yun Shu said." Shen Shiyan reached out and gently touched the blue crystal hair clip on the side of her hair with his fingertips, his smile as sweet as honey.

The waiter quickly brought the food; the creamy mushroom pasta was steaming hot, and the rich aroma of cream mixed with the fresh scent of mushrooms wafted over.

Liu Yunshu forked a roll of noodles and put it in her mouth. The texture was smooth and creamy, and the cream flavor was just right. It was so delicious that her eyes narrowed.

"How is it?" Shen Shiyan looked at her satisfied little face and couldn't help but reach out to wipe the little bit of cream off her lips.

"It's so delicious!" Liu Yunshu nodded repeatedly and grabbed his wrist.

She gently put the bit of cream from his fingertip into her mouth, her tongue inadvertently brushing against his fingertip, her voice sweet and soft: "The cream is delicious too."

Shen Shiyan's fingertips instantly burned, his Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and he gripped her hand tightly in return: "Eat slowly, no one's going to take it from you."

After the meal, Shen Shiyan led Liu Yunshu out of the Western restaurant. The evening breeze was slightly cool, which just dissipated the heat of the food.

He naturally put her hand into his coat pocket, his palm wrapping around the back of her hand, warming her fingertips until they trembled.

"The movie starts at seven, we still have some time, let me take you somewhere." Shen Shiyan looked down at her, a hint of mystery in his eyes.

Liu Yunshu blinked curiously: "What place is it?"

"You'll see when we get there." He smiled, ruffled her hair, and led her toward the street corner.

After turning two corners, a handmade aromatherapy shop with warm lights comes into view.

The glass door was covered with star-shaped stickers, and inside were various scented candles.

A faint scent of gardenias wafted in the air, the very perfume Liu Yunshu often used.

"Wow!"

Liu Yunshu's eyes lit up instantly, and she grabbed Shen Shiyan's hand and quickly walked into the store.

The scented candles on the shelf were neatly arranged, some were spherical, some were star-shaped, and some were even shaped like kittens, each wrapped in exquisite wrapping paper.

"The gardenias here smell so strong!" She brought a white candle holder closer, sniffing lightly. "It's exactly the same as my perfume!"

Shen Shiyan took two transparent wax cups from the shop assistant and handed them to her with a smile: "Would you like to try making your own? You can choose your favorite scent and decorations."

"Can I make it myself?" Liu Yunshu's eyes lit up even more. She reached out and took the wax cup, gently rubbing her fingertips against the cup's surface.

"I want it to smell like gardenias! And I want to add star-shaped wax pieces!"

The shop assistant brought over the melted wax and essential oils. Following the instructions, Liu Yunshu carefully dripped gardenia essence into the wax cup.

Shen Shiyan helped her choose accessories: fine silver glitter, tiny blue crystal fragments, and a star pendant matching her necklace.

"Wouldn't it look better if we added glitter first?" Liu Yunshu looked up and asked him, her fingertips dappled with silver powder that shimmered under the light.

Shen Shiyan hummed in agreement and leaned over to help her evenly sprinkle the glitter into the wax, his fingertips accidentally brushing against the back of her hand.

The two smiled at each other, and the warm yellow light cast their shadows on the corner of the table, like a gentle painting.

When the wax was almost solidified, Liu Yunshu carefully embedded the star pendant into the cup wall and sprinkled some blue crystal fragments as decoration.

Looking at her creation, she swirled the cup with satisfaction: "It's done! Once it solidifies, I can take it home!"

Shen Shiyan picked up the scented candle she made and examined it closely: "Our Yun Shu is so skillful; it's even prettier than the ones sold in stores."

He paused, then picked up the one he had made, which had a small moon pendant embedded in it. "Perfect, your star matches my moon."

Looking at the two candle cups side by side, with the stars and moon echoing each other under the warm light, Liu Yunshu felt a sweet warmth in her heart.

She reached out and hugged Shen Shiyan's arm, pressing her face against his sleeve: "Then our scented candles will always be kept together."

"Okay." Shen Shiyan lowered his head and gently touched the blue crystal hair clip on the side of her hair. "Keep them together forever."

With ten minutes to go before the movie started, the two hurried towards the theater.

Movie posters were lit up on the electronic screen at the entrance of the cinema. Shen Shiyan bought a bucket of strawberry-flavored popcorn and handed her a cup of hot cocoa.

As they entered the screening room, he led her to the couple's seats, and as soon as they sat down, he took off his coat and draped it over her lap.

"It's cold inside with the air conditioning on, wear something underneath."

After the movie started, Liu Yunshu leaned on Shen Shiyan's shoulder, but as she watched, her gaze... unconsciously drifted towards Shen Shiyan.

His profile was exceptionally clear in the flickering light of the screen, with long, thick eyelashes, a sharp nose bridge, and even a gentle curve in his jawline.

Liu Yunshu was so engrossed in watching that she couldn't help but reach out and gently touch his earlobe with her fingertips.

A warm touch came, and Shen Shiyan immediately turned to look at her, a smile in his eyes.

"Why are you watching me if you're not going to watch the movie?" he lowered his voice, his breath brushing against her earlobe, carrying a hint of heat.

"Because brother... is too tempting." Liu Yunshu whispered the last few words close to his ear.

Shen Shiyan's ear tips instantly turned red, his Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and he reached out to grab her mischievous fingertips, pressing them into his palm.

He leaned closer, his voice lower and slightly hoarse: "If you keep watching, you might as well not watch the movie at all."

A sly glint flashed in Liu Yunshu's eyes. "Like this?"

Shen Shiyan gripped the armrest of the seat tightly, his knuckles turning slightly white.

He turned to look at the screen, but couldn't absorb a single word.
