Shen Ting staggered back two steps before she saw the necklace Shi Yan was holding.

It's silver overall, with a small gold butterfly pendant in the center, and the workmanship looks very exquisite.

She was somewhat surprised: "It's so beautiful! How much did you buy it for?"

"Seven thousand five."

Shen Ting: !!!

"So expensive?" She gasped, her heart pounding. "I don't want it. Why don't you return it?"

Shi Yan frowned slightly: "You don't like it?"

Looking into his dimmed eyes, Shen Ting suddenly couldn't bear to nod.

I definitely like it.

After all, who would turn down gold and silver jewelry?

But the key issue is that their current financial situation doesn't allow her to like it!

Shen Ting hesitated for a moment, then shook her head: "I like it, but it's not worth it."

"Think about it, we don't even have enough money each month, and now we've rented a new place. We should be saving this money instead of buying these flashy but impractical things, right?"

While she was speaking, Shi Yan watched her quietly.

As soon as he finished speaking, he put the necklace back around her neck.

"Wear it if you like it. I'll work hard to earn more money and buy you a better one."

He said earnestly, "You don't need to worry about the money."

Shen Ting was stunned for a moment.

She looked at his deep-set eyes and brows, and for some reason, her heart skipped a beat.

Just as I was about to say yes, the plot of the original book came back to mind.

If nothing unexpected happens, in less than a year, those eyes that look at dogs with such affection will turn cold and menacing as they stare at her.

Then, without any hesitation, he waved his hand and dragged her into the Southeast Asia zone.

Shen Ting bit her lip tightly, pouted, and muttered softly.

"Who wants your stuff! You're talking so nicely now, but once you regain your memories, you'll turn your back on me completely."

Bah, scumbag!

But when she looked up again and met Shi Yan's eyes, her heart softened again.

The future is the future; at least for now, he is truly sincere towards me.

She is not a heartless person and would never do anything ungrateful.

Shen Ting sighed softly, "Let it go this time. I really like the necklace you gave me, but let's not buy any more in the future. Let's try to save some money first."

Upon hearing this, Shi Yan's furrowed brows finally relaxed.

"Okay." A slight smile appeared on his lips.

Next, while Shi Yan went to the bathroom, Shen Ting opened the window and looked at the sunset on the horizon.

The moment I opened the window, the sounds of children laughing and playing downstairs drifted in.

Fortunately, the windows are very soundproof; you can hardly hear any noise when the windows are closed.

Shen Ting looked around at the other places. They were clean and tidy, and apart from being a little small, they had almost no flaws.

The only problem is, where will Shi Yan sleep in a one-bedroom apartment?

I can't keep sleeping on the living room sofa, can I?

But if she were to be alone in a room with a strange man, even if he could sleep with her, she would still feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Shen Ting was struggling with this question when Shi Yan, having already washed his hands, came over.

"Do you like this house?" he asked.

Shen Ting nodded and said with a smile, "I like it! This is so much better than the last room!"

When she's in a good mood, her eyebrows curve into a smile and her eyes sparkle.

Shi Yan stared at her, his ear tips gradually turning red.

"I'm glad you like it," he said. "What would you like for dinner?"

Shen Ting thought for a moment and said, "Mapo tofu, and a plate of stir-fried pork with chili peppers, please."

Shi Yan hummed in agreement: "We're out of tofu and meat at home, we'll have to go to the supermarket to buy some."

Shen nodded without much thought.

But she quickly recalled the last time they went to the supermarket together, when they awkwardly held hands for several minutes.

Will we have to hold hands again this time?

Shen Ting nervously followed him into the back seat of the car.

Perhaps because he didn't run into any young couples at the supermarket, Shi Yan didn't bring up that kind of request.

The moment Shen Ting stepped out of the supermarket, she finally breathed a silent sigh of relief.

Remembering that Shi Yan had a job interview the next day, she casually asked, "Have you bought the suit yet?"

Shi Yan hummed in agreement: "I've already bought it online."

"let me see."

Shi Yan took out his phone and showed her the order page.

Shen Ting frowned upon seeing this.

Only 19.9?

I bought it from Pinduoduo, so the quality must be very poor.

"Let's return it. I'll take you to a clothing store to buy some better quality clothes."

Shen Ting pulled his arm and walked to the side, saying, "You're interviewing at a big company, so dressing appropriately is very important."

Shi Yan wanted to say no, but she insisted, so he had no choice but to follow her.

The two arrived at a men's clothing store.

The shop assistant asked warmly, "Hello, are you buying clothes for this gentleman?"

Shen Ting nodded: "Please pick out a suit for him."

The shop assistant responded and then took out three pieces of clothing, comparing them on Shi Yan before finally choosing one.

"This one suits your taste better, sir. Do you like it?"

Shi Yan looked at Shen Ting and saw her nod, looking satisfied, so he nodded as well.

"How much?" Shen Ting asked.

"This is a new style from our store, 599 yuan."

Upon hearing the price, Shen Ting's eyes widened slightly.

Shi Yan frowned and gave her a quick look to leave.

But Shen Ting thought the suit looked really good, so she gritted her teeth and started bargaining with the shop assistant.

After much persuasion, she finally managed to get it for 299.

"Okay, here you go," the clerk said with a smile.

Shi Yan stared at Shen Ting in surprise the entire time.

She used to not even know how to buy groceries, but now she can actually bargain?

She has really changed a lot during this time.

Shen Ting took the suit from the shop assistant and looked at Shi Yan with a smile.

"Let's go home."

Shi Yan stared blankly at her, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down, before finally managing to squeeze out a single "okay".

Back home, Shi Yan put on an apron and started cooking.

Shen Tingze sat on the bed playing on his phone, oblivious to everything else.

Suddenly, my phone received a friend request.

[ql: Hi, Teacher Shen. I have some work-related requests to make, you can't refuse me, can you?]

Shen Ting gave a wry smile and replied: [After get off work hours, I refuse to reply to work-related messages.]

He then turned off his phone screen and glanced guiltily toward the kitchen.

In the dim light of the kitchen, Shi Yan's sharply defined profile was revealed.

He was focused on chopping vegetables, and with swift, precise strokes, he cut the tofu into distinct pieces.

Shen Ting was so engrossed in watching that a strange feeling inexplicably arose in her heart.

Spending a lot of time with this man, she would sometimes have fleeting moments of daze, feeling as if they were a real couple.

Shen Ting blushed deeply at her own thought.

She quickly shook her head, picked up the thread beside the bed, and tried to distract herself.

Teachers have weekends off, and since they're basically idle on weekends anyway, they might as well set up a stall to earn some money.

Shen Ting remembered the ugly puppy doll that Shi Yan had mistaken for a gift for him, and decided to sew an even better one for him.

She began to skillfully pick up the needle and thread.

After finishing crocheting a few dolls, Shi Yan had just finished cooking the dishes.

He came out carrying a steaming plate of Mapo Tofu and stir-fried pork with chili peppers.

As soon as I walked up to Shen Ting, I noticed her phone vibrate.

Someone sent her a friend request.
