“……”“And Dr. Zheng said my recovery has been excellent, and I just had dialysis yesterday. A little walk outside won’t hurt, right?”

“……”“Sister, I’m going to get moldy just staying in the hospital every day…” He pouted childishly, looking at her with pathetic eyes. “…Can we just go out for an hour? Or, we can just visit one shop!”“Do you really want to go that much?” she asked hesitantly.

“Please, Sis~~~”“……”“Sis~~~ You are the best sister in the world~~~ Please~~~” Yin Cheng suddenly unleashed the age-old, foolproof charm tactic from his childhood.

Looking into Xiao Cheng’s eyes, full of anticipation and pleading, Yin Xia Mo’s heart softened without her realizing it.

If they didn't go to a crowded place, if it was only for a short while, if they happened to run into reporters, they could immediately slip away… Perhaps, she was overthinking things; there weren't that many coincidences in the world.

The dreamlike bridal salon of Fairyland Kingdom.

The window glass sparkled like candy, showcasing pristine white wedding gowns floating among pink balloons, guarded by a giant rose archway. The air itself was thick with romantic sweetness.

“Welcome!” The bridal shop assistants, each sporting a pink bow in her hair and smiles as sweet as May blossoms, greeted Yin Xia Mo and Yin Cheng with bows.

A shop assistant, as cute as a flower fairy from a comic book, floated over, smiling sweetly. “Good afternoon. It’s a pleasure to assist you.”

“Hello, I called this morning,” Yin Cheng said, smiling. Dressed in a white shirt, jeans, and a little black jacket, he looked as gentle and elegant as a prince. “I heard the wedding dress I custom-ordered is ready.”

“Ah! You must be Mr. Yin Cheng?” The young shop assistant’s eyes widened slightly in surprise as she looked at him. Although her voice rose a bit, she maintained perfect etiquette, instantly sounding as warm and familiar as a girl next door.

“That’s right.”

Yin Cheng inclined his head.

“I’m Xiao Lü, and I’m so happy to meet you!” The girl guided them deeper into the store while unable to stop glancing at Yin Cheng. “After Sister Zhen En got the blueprints for the dress you designed, I was the one in charge of contacting the designer. Originally, the designer refused to take on outside designs, saying they only work on their own creations, but upon seeing your design, they actually made an exception out of sheer appreciation and spent several days completing it personally.”

In a secluded corner of the bridal salon.

Xiao Lü enthusiastically placed two glasses of water on the pink, carved round table.

Yin Xia Mo knew this was the most famous bridal shop in the city. White carpeting, a romantic pink ambiance, and a vast interior space. Although there were many customers, the staff had led them to separate, quiet areas, preventing any sense of chaos or noise.

She looked up at Yin Cheng.

Yin Cheng was gazing at her, his expression a mix of shyness, nervousness, and anticipation.

Her heart gave a sudden thump, and her eyelashes grew subtly damp. Had this been what Xiao Cheng had been secretly drawing during the times she wasn't in the hospital ward recently? She knew… Xiao Cheng was genuinely confused about her wedding, and the unresolved feelings for Ou Chen from five years ago still lingered.

She had expected Xiao Cheng to oppose her marriage plans, thinking she would need a lot of time to persuade him.

But Xiao Cheng had only asked her cautiously, as if afraid of hurting her, implying that whatever she liked, he would unconditionally accept it.

And even—he had prepared such a gift for her? Summer of Foam III
