Days later, sunlight filtered through the intricately carved window panes, casting delicate patterns in the chamber of the Shen Residence, like golden butterflies dancing gracefully.
Shen Qingyi reclined on a soft couch by the window, holding an embroidery frame as she meticulously stitched a peony.
The needle and thread danced skillfully between her slender, fair fingers, as if infused with life, gradually outlining the petals in vibrant hues.
“Shen Qingyi, what are you embroidering?” Su Wanrou's melodious voice, tinged with laughter, floated in from outside the door.
Shen Qingyi set down her embroidery frame and lifted her gaze to see Su Wanrou entering in a light green dress, her steps graceful and her face adorned with a gentle smile.
“Wanrou, you’ve come,” Shen Qingyi said, rising to greet her, a smile blooming on her face as well.
Su Wanrou approached with a smile and sat beside her, her eyes falling on the embroidery frame. “I heard you encountered a charming young gentleman a few days ago. I came specifically to ask about it.”
Shen Qingyi's cheeks flushed slightly as she lowered her gaze and softly replied, “That is indeed true.”
Her heart raced a little faster as memories of their encounter beneath the apricot blossom tree surfaced, filling her with a sweet flutter of emotions.
“Quickly tell me more! Which family's young master could capture Shen Qingyi's heart?” Su Wanrou grasped Shen Qingyi's hand, curiosity shining in her eyes.
Shen Qingyi then recounted the details of her meeting with Gu Yun Ci, from the hazy beauty of the Apricot Blossom Rain to the romantic harmony of their conversation, painting each moment vividly.
Her tone was gentle, tinged with a hint of youthful shyness and sweetness, as if she had returned to that heart-fluttering afternoon.
“Apricot Blossom Rain, the harmony of qin and se, what a romantic encounter,” Su Wanrou sighed, though a flicker of complex emotion passed through her eyes, barely perceptible.
Shen Qingyi smiled shyly. “I also feel as if I’m dreaming; it’s so unreal yet so enchanting.”
“Is this Young Master Gu truly as perfect as you say?” Su Wanrou asked tentatively, her gaze fixed intently on Shen Qingyi, as if trying to see into her heart.
Without hesitation, Shen Qingyi nodded. “Yun Ci is exceptionally talented and refined, and he is incredibly considerate towards me. I have never seen a man as outstanding as him.”
A subtle glimmer of something inscrutable flashed in Su Wanrou's eyes as she thought to herself: Is there really such a perfect man?
She continued, “Has he made any promises to you?”
Shen Qingyi recalled Gu Yun Ci’s vow, a wave of sweetness washing over her. “He said he would marry me and make me his most beloved wife.”
Su Wanrou's lips curled into a knowing smile. “Shen Qingyi, you must be cautious. Many young masters in this capital are full of sweet words; don’t let his flattery deceive you.”
Shen Qingyi felt a twinge of displeasure. “Wanrou, don’t you trust Yun Ci? Don’t you believe in our feelings?”
Su Wanrou quickly explained, “It’s not that I don’t trust him; I’m just worried that love might cloud your judgment. After all, marriage is a serious matter. If he’s just playing around, wouldn’t that leave you heartbroken?”
Shen Qingyi sighed. “I appreciate your concern, but I trust my feelings. I believe Yun Ci truly loves me.”
Su Wanrou held Shen Qingyi's hand and said softly, "Shen Qingyi, I just want you to be happy. No matter what decision you make, I will support you."
Shen Qingyi felt a surge of emotion in her heart. "Thank you, Wanrou. You will always be my best friend."
As Su Wanrou looked at Shen Qingyi's innocent and radiant smile, a storm brewed within her. The flames of jealousy burned fiercely in her heart.
She envied Shen Qingyi's beauty, envied her talent, and was even more envious of the love Shen Qingyi had received from Gu Yun Ci.
"I must have him!" Su Wanrou silently vowed, a glint of ruthlessness flashing in her eyes.
