Chasing You Like a Tenacious Falcon

Quan Zhisui walked over and sat down on the sofa next to him, speaking in a tone that seemed to coax him.

"I'm not refusing to give it to you. I wanted to wait until your lunar birthday. My senior brothers all celebrate their lunar birthdays."

After saying this, she unwrapped her scarf.

When Wei Shixu's gaze swept over her neck, his eyes burned, and he quickly turned his head away.

He spoke: "Don't forget on the lunar birthday. If you don't give it to me, I'll just take what I want."

Quan Zhisui looked up: "Take? What are you taking?"

Wei Shixu glanced at her neck again, then turned his head away, remaining silent.

Quan Zhisui: "..."

She looked at the coffee table, where aside from the cake, there was also a small box and a file folder.

"What are these?" she asked.

Wei Shixu suppressed his emotions, picked up the file folder, and handed it to her: "I bought you an island to tame this wolf of mine."

Quan Zhisui stared at him in shock!

Wei Shixu: "Open it. Sign it. It's yours."

Quan Zhisui: "Didn't you already give me a gift?"

Wei Shixu: "The inheritance? That was always yours. It doesn't count."

Quan Zhisui ultimately didn't open it and instead handed the folder back: "You sign it."

Wei Shixu frowned: "Not accepting it? You should be able to afford something like this now. What are you resisting? It's just a gift."

In the past, he didn't dare give too much or give freely, but now it was different. She could handle these things.

Quan Zhisui met his gaze: "You sign it. It's the same."

"The same?" Wei Shixu chuckled, suddenly leaning closer to ask: "What, thinking about getting married?"

Quan Zhisui: "!!!"

"There are many countries where you can get married at eighteen," Wei Shixu leaned even closer, staring into her eyes seriously: "Shall we go? Marry me."

Quan Zhisui took a deep breath, closed her eyes, then opened them and said: "I have to take the college entrance exam. Don't distract me."

"Fine," Wei Shixu raised an eyebrow, picking up the small box on the table: "Couple phones. You'll accept these, right? I specially customized the colors."

Quan Zhisui glanced at them and nodded.

The two of them inserted the candles and lit them.

In the flickering candlelight, Wei Shixu held her hand as they made wishes together.

Quan Zhisui closed her eyes. Ten seconds later, they both opened their eyes at the same time.

Wei Shixu asked: "What did you wish for?"

Quan Zhisui: "To get into a good university. What about you?"

Wei Shixu: "To get one-third of the answer."

Quan Zhisui was surprised: "I thought you'd wish for something like a kiss."

Wei Shixu moved closer, gripping her wrist tightly: "I did. So, can I kiss you now?"

Quan Zhisui could have broken free, but she didn't move, only avoiding his gaze and falling silent.

Wei Shixu sighed, releasing her: "This birthday hasn't made me happy."

Quan Zhisui: "Then, shall we go out?"

Wei Shixu was surprised: "You're actually suggesting we go out?"

Quan Zhisui smiled: "I've always liked going out. Did you forget?"

Wei Shixu also smiled: "Right, you've explored every corner of the mountain behind the martial arts school."

Quan Zhisui stood up and retied her scarf: "If it weren't for this stupid school, I could play every day!"

Wei Shixu handed her the phone: "Switch to the new one. It's waterproof."

Quan Zhisui: "What, are we going swimming in the middle of winter?"

Wei Shixu looked at her and smiled: "Why not?"

That night.

Quan Zhisui stared at the airport ahead, shocked: "You have a private jet?!"

Wei Shixu shook his head: "No, this one belongs to my grandfather."

Quan Zhisui: "You... oh, you could have one if you wanted, right?"

Wei Shixu nodded: "Yes."

Quan Zhisui asked again: "With your wealth, could you buy many private jets?"

Wei Shixu nodded again: "Yes."

Quan Zhisui continued: "So, a private jet is nothing to you? Just a drop in the bucket?"

Wei Shixu looked at her: "Why, do you have one?"

Quan Zhisui nodded: "Abroad."

Wei Shixu laughed: "Not bad, little rich girl. I don't even have one."

Quan Zhisui had more questions: "How does a private jet take off?"

Wei Shixu: "You just need to apply for a flight route."

As he spoke, he stepped onto the plane first, then turned and extended his hand to her.

Quan Zhisui grabbed it firmly!

In the past, Wei Shixu didn't flaunt his wealth. When they went to Wudang Mountain, he even rode in second-class on the high-speed train with them.

But now that Quan Zhisui had reached a certain level of wealth, he no longer needed to hide or worry about making her uncomfortable. Still, the sudden display was a bit overwhelming.

He took her to the southernmost part of China.

To play water sports!

Quan Zhisui had never gone diving, let alone tried windsurfing, water skiing, or surfing...

She didn't even know the names of some of these activities. She hadn't seen them on her senior brothers' phones when she was younger. It was all so new!

For the first time, she realized how many fun things there were in the world!

And with her strong athletic ability, she picked up each activity almost instantly, having the time of her life. It was way more fun than fishing.

Wei Shixu watched her and smiled: "I knew you'd like it."

Quan Zhisui was amazed: "How do you know how to do everything? Have you ever gone skydiving?"

Wei Shixu: "Of course. Next time, shall we go together?"

Quan Zhisui nodded eagerly: "Yes!"

...

Both of them took leave from school—one for two days, the other for a week.

Wei Shixu didn't care. He didn't need to attend school regularly anyway.

Quan Zhisui's disappearance, however, sparked some speculation.

Especially for Zuo Zhiyu, who was going crazy!

When Zuo Zhiyu found out about Quan Zhisui's trip to the bank with Zuo Zichen, he rushed to the school in a panic.

Unfortunately, ​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‍Quan Zhisui had taken leave.

She had taken an entire week off!

Zuo Zhiyu was frantic, feeling as if a mountain of gold and silver was slipping through his fingers.

She must have gotten the gold bars from the safe!

She was an adult now!

She was going to leave!

Zuo Zhiyu had planned to cause a scene at the school, but Qian Ya seized the opportunity to berate him, driving him away.

Ever since learning that Qian Ya was Qian Cheng's younger sister, Zuo Zhiyu had been hesitant to provoke the teachers at Liang Secondary School.

Desperate, Zuo Zhiyu began frantically trying to contact Zuo Zichen, but he couldn't get through. The kid had blocked him.

That night.

Zuo Zichen hid in his dorm, staring at the hundreds of unread messages on his phone, his scalp tingling.

Thankfully, he had listened to his sister and blocked his father early on.

Otherwise, with this level of craziness, how could he possibly focus on his homework?

But...

Why was his mother also calling and messaging him? She was almost as frantic as Zuo Zhiyu.

What was with everyone suddenly caring about Quan Zhisui's eighteenth birthday?

Zuo Zichen couldn't take it anymore. He slammed his phone shut and started memorizing English vocabulary!

Meanwhile, the frantic and panicked Zuo Zhiyu rushed to Gusu overnight, hoping to see Yan Guanghua.

But Yan Guanghua was tied up with the Wei Family's offensive and had no time to deal with him.

Once again, Zuo Zhiyu was turned away!

...

Two days later.

Wei Shixu returned to school first, acting as if he had never left, going through the motions of being a model student.

Quan Zhisui had also returned to Liangxi, but she was putting on an act, so she didn't go to school. Instead, she stayed at the Wei Family's home to study alone.

Now, accepting gifts from Wei Shixu no longer felt like a burden. It was like two kids sharing a bag of candy—just a simple, ordinary thing.

But she was well aware that her wealth was nothing compared to the Wei Family.

Nor could it rival the Yan Family.

For now, she had only surpassed the Zuo Group.
