"Do you need help?"

Luo Qiu sized her up. It was hard for a girl to come to a strange city, carrying a heavy bag and a luggage box.

"No need, no need. I can do it." Lui Yiyun waved her hand.

Luo Qiu didn’t insist, and nodded, "Let me take you to the university. And you need to remember the bus time and routes. It’ll be more convenient for you to travel."

The girl nodded... Luo Qiu did things directly.

She followed him. Luo Qiu only slowed down when he found she couldn’t catch up to him.

When the bus arrived, the girl said, "Where’s Sister Ren? I thought she would be here to pick me up."

"Well, I thought so." Luo Qiu shook his head, "She said she’s busy in solving some temporary issues. You should know her job"

Lui Yiyun was stunned for a moment and smiled, "That is Sister Ren’s style. There were a few time while I was chatting with her, she would suddenly say she had to go out for something."

"You keep in touch with each other?" Luo Qiu suddenly asked.

Lui Yiyun told him the truth, "Yeah... Sister Ren is a kind lady."

Luo Qiu looked up to the blue sky and the cloud, saying, "How are you doing recently?"

Lui Yiyun hesitated, and took a glance at the passengers, then lowered her head and said, "I’m okay... I can control myself."

"It’s a good city with a slow pace of life." Luo Qiu looked outside, "Except the weird weather."

Lui Yiyun smiled, "I can even get used to the weird weather by the seaside."

Luo Qiu nodded. He could feel the scent of the sea from the girl, which could calm him down and make him feel comfortable.

"By the way, what’s your major?"

"Medical college, Pharmacy."

"You want to be a doctor?"

"Yes."

After several questions and answers, the bus had arrived at the terminal. Then, the next bus came to its destination too. They reached the university where the girl would register... which was also Luo Qiu’s old school.

When they got off the bus and took out their luggage, the girl looked slightly excited.

She headed up to see the sign on the entrance, which was much taller than her and the holiday house, while listening to Luo Qiu at the back.

"Your life begins now, nobody knows what you will meet. You may see some odd things, but don’t be surprised, because you’re an odd being too... Finally, welcome to this city."

The girl suddenly turned back, but didn’t find Luo Qiu. It was as if he vanished into thin air.

Lui Yiyun put down her bag, then opened her arms and deeply breathed. The air was not as clean as the seaside, but she sensed a different feeling.

Maybe this would be where her new life started.

Lui Yiyun smiled, lifting up the bag and pulled the luggage; then she suddenly thought that Luo Qiu was also studying in this university.

But she didn’t ask Luo Qiu the details of his university life.

Then she realized that she had been too nervous the whole way...

"Never mind, we may meet again someday..." Lui Yiyun thought for a while, shaking her head and bracing herself up.

She raised her bag, walking in by herself.

It was a good feeling for her.

"Huh? Where’s the check-in office?"

...

...

The revolving restaurants around were good a place for lovers... Of course they were expensive but romantic.

And it was easy to gain access to the night scene of this city.

"We can cook in your home or mine, you know I don’t like to waste money."

"We can have a taste, it doesn’t mean you don’t cook well. But sometimes we need a feeling of freshness, don’t we?" Zhou Zihao smiled, "And it’s not that expensive, it’s from a group purchase."

Tao Xiaman rolled her eyes. She didn’t blame her fiancé, but understood that their money was hard earned. "Fine, what can we eat from the group purchase deal?"

"Let’s talk about it later." Zhou Zihao took out an iPad from his bag, "Let me show you something."

Tao Xiaman was stunned for a moment, but received the iPad and looked at the photos, "Is this... a phoenix-pattern dress?"

"So it is called a phoenix-pattern dress? I didn’t even know its name. Do you like it?" Zhou Zihao walked to her back and bent down.

Tao Xiaman looked at all the 4 pages. These were not pictures from a computer but sketches that were photographed.

They were not beautiful and delicate, but she didn’t know why, they seem attractive to her.

Something caught her attention.

A familiar sense that was hard to be described hit her heart.

"It’s a special and rare color, I like it." Tao Xiamao nodded subconsciously, "Zihao, where did you find it?"

’Really like it?’

Zhou Zihao couldn’t help thinking of that eccentric old man... he felt he was very confident, but didn’t expect the pictures would attract his fiancée so deeply.

He also recalled of the words from that old tailor; then he said, "A friend introduced an old and experienced tailor. Would you like to have a try?"

Tao Xiaman thought for a while, "Yes, I’d like to."

Zhou Zihao patted his hands, and was delighted like a child, "I’ll go to him tomorrow. By the way, shouldn’t we have dinner first?"

Tao Xiaman’s heart was filled with a sweet feeling, "Well, OK."

...

The next day, Zhou Zihao came to Old Feng’s house... he didn’t find anybody here while going upstairs.

Maybe only this old tailor was still living in this five-storied, old- fashioned house.

This time, he got a response sooner... Zhou Zihao even thought that this old man was waiting for him.

"Mr. Zhou, you’re really miraculous! My fiancée was totally attracted by your sketches. I know her character, she really likes it! Zhou Zihao said loud with admiration, "Can you..."

"I can make it for you." Old Fend nodded, and added straightly, "But, you need to pay a deposit."

Zhou Zihao nodded, "Don’t worry about the price. But should my fiancée come here next time? It needs to be customized, right?"

But Mr. Zhou shook his head, "I won’t measure the sizes of my customers. But I can go to your home. Give me your address and we can make an appointment. And remember, don’t reveal my address. It’s my rule."

’Fine.’

’Anyway, my fiancée likes it.’

Zhou Zihao agreed... because in his mind, talented people tended to be eccentric.

...

Seeing Zhou Zihao drove off, Old Feng moved his gaze away.

He seldom laughed, but now, a slight hint of smile hung on his face. Maybe it was because he felt that this man was good.

"Tomorrow..."

Old Feng took a deep breath and thought he needed to tidy all the tailoring tools. He sensed new energy would come out of his body.

He never had such feeling in this recent dozen years.
