Gu Shengyin snapped back to reality.

She got out of the car and lifted her eyes to see a very large estate.

"This place is?" she asked, surprised.

Yu Qingyun concisely replied, "An estate I bought a few years back."

Gu Shengyin glanced silently.

Impressive, Chuannan City is an economically highly developed city, on par with the Imperial Capital. Although this is the suburbs and not as expensive as the city center, it nonetheless is prime real estate.

You’d have to be quite the tycoon to buy an estate here, wouldn’t you?

She followed Yu Qingyun inside.

As soon as they stepped in, a cool breeze swept by, and Gu Shengyin felt the heat on her body dissipating significantly.

Compared to the sweltering heat outside, this place was like the summer heaven everyone yearned for.

Once inside, Gu Shengyin realized just how vast it was.

As she walked forward, her gaze suddenly halted, her breath caught.

In her line of sight was a Lotus Pond that seemed to stretch endlessly.

It was the blooming season, countless pink and white lotuses swayed on the round, verdant leaves, filling the air with a light Lotus Fragrance.

Yu Qingyun saw her stop in her tracks.

Seeing her reaction, he was very pleased.

He explained, "Do you like it? When I bought the estate a few years ago, I had people plant these. The last time I saw you, although I didn’t ask, I somehow felt you might like lotuses, so I took the liberty of inviting you to see them."

"Right now, it’s their peak season. In a while, they won’t be as beautiful..."

Actually, Yu Qingyun found his own feeling inexplicably strange.

Though he’d only met this young person once, whenever he looked at them, a bizarre sense of familiarity arose in his heart.

He felt as if he knew him very well, though he couldn’t comprehend why.

Take, for instance, this Lotus Pond.

When he bought this place to build the estate years ago, his first thought upon seeing the live water lake was to plant it full of lotuses.

He felt that someday there’d be someone who’d accompany him here.

That feeling was odd, yet Yu Qingyun, for once, did not consider gains or losses, simply followed his heart.

Upon seeing Gu Shengyin for the first time, Yu Qingyun had the sense that he might have found the person to share the experience of seeing the lotuses with.

When he brought Gu Shengyin, there was still some uncertainty in his heart—what if she didn’t like them? 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

But seeing Gu Shengyin’s reaction now, his heart suddenly settled.

It seems this was the right move.

Gu Shengyin just stood there dazed.

She remembered the end of the previous world, where He Lou looked at her with regret before leaving, saying he had planted a pond full of lotuses for her but couldn’t accompany her to see them.

So now... is Yu Qingyun doing this to make up for the regrets of the past life?

Even without memories, does his subconscious still remember that he owes her a pond of lotuses?

Yu Qingyun had been watching Gu Shengyin, and seeing her expression mingled with both joy and sorrow, he felt uncertain.

He walked to her side and softly asked, "You don’t like it?"

Gu Shengyin came back to reality, looked at him, and smiled brightly, "No, I really like it."

She gazed into the endless green expanse, her voice light, "My favorite is the lotus."

Yu Qingyun, hearing her words, smiled softly as well, "I’m glad you like it."
