Chapter 46 — Acknowledgment
Su Yanyi put down the little tortoise and went back to her own room, leaving Qin Jiran alone to bask in his reverie.
Although the night was getting dark, the man didn't feel any drowsiness at all. He picked up the tortoise and flipped it upside on its back. Immediately, the tortoise began to wave its little limbs around, clumsy and completely helpless.
Qin Jiran gently tapped his fingers on the tortoise's sh.e.l.l and mumbled absentmindedly, "Who let you be so mischievous? Who let you run around so much? Who let you get lost like an idiot all the time? You got sent back here anyway…" and you brought me such a big surprise too.
He really hadn't thought his confession would be so impromptu, or that the result would be so wonderful—Su Yanyi actually agreed to let him pursue her!
"Little thing, I really should be thanking you for this." Qin Jiran's voice began to soften as he stared amusedly at the struggling tortoise. Finally, he reached out and turned it back over.
If it weren't for this little thing, he probably wouldn't have gotten an opportunity to confess, which in turn gave him an opportunity to pursue his beloved. He really should be feeling thankful towards this little thing.
He decided that if he succeeded in pursuing Su Yanyi, then he would definitely find a partner for the little tortoise and allow it to also live its days in bliss.

The next day, Su Yanyi woke up to find that breakfast was especially rich. She saw not only her favorite steamed buns but also crystal shrimp dumplings, fish b.a.l.l.s, and four types of exquisite desserts.
Off to the side was Qin Jiran, showing an expectant stare that made her want to laugh. She thought that he looked like a big dog wagging its tail and waiting for a praise.
"It tastes good," she said after tasting the dishes.
Qin Jiran immediately revealed a trace of a happy smile and responded softly, "It's good that you like it."
Su Yanyi raised an eyebrow and didn't reply, but her heart was filled with satisfaction.
