Haven't You Always Been the One Making Advances?

The garden restaurant. Guided by the manager, the three of them entered a delicate private room and took their seats.

Their previous discussion had ranged from whether Jiang Qiuyi would pursue postgraduate studies to whether they should have children immediately after marriage.

Jiang Qiuyi's face turned red, and she had to interrupt the topic.

Now, sitting in the exquisitely decorated private room, Jiang Qiuyi, afraid of neglecting Lin Meng, sat beside her, leaving Chen Wen to sit alone opposite them.

After sitting down, Lin Meng and Jiang Qiuyi, as if by prior agreement, took out their cameras and started recording.

"What are you recording?" Lin Meng asked, confused.

"A vlog~"

"Huh?" Lin Meng was surprised. "Didn't you say before that you would definitely not post videos unrelated to piano on Bilibili?"

"Don't confuse the concepts," Jiang Qiuyi said with a sly smile. "I said I wouldn't post on the Qiuqiu yiyi account. I plan to post the vlog on my secondary account~"

"Showing your face?" Lin Meng asked curiously.

"Yep." Jiang Qiuyi chuckled. "But it's not my face I'll be showing, it's his~"

With that, Jiang Qiuyi turned the camera lens towards Chen Wen and asked with a playful smile, "Teacher Chen~ Are you ready? I'll be relying on you for today's segment~"

Chen Wen: "?"

Lin Meng: "..."

After adjusting the camera, Lin Meng turned and asked, "Are you two going to be in my video? If not, I'll only record footage of myself."

"Appearing in my video costs money~" Jiang Qiuyi raised an eyebrow.

"Get lost." Lin Meng rolled her eyes and readjusted the camera's position, excluding Jiang Qiuyi's shot.

Once done, Lin Meng began her opening remarks after entering the restaurant, giving a brief introduction to the garden restaurant.

The dishes had been ordered beforehand, so Chen Wen and Jiang Qiuyi only needed to sit and wait.

They didn't interfere while Lin Meng was speaking.

So, Jiang Qiuyi could only resort to small gestures with her hands and feet.

She placed the camera on the table, aiming it at Chen Wen, then reached out with her small hands to grasp Chen Wen's large hand, turning it over and over. She playfully touched the calluses that had formed from his woodworking, looking quite intrigued.

Under the table, Jiang Qiuyi also extended her legs and wrapped one of Chen Wen's legs.

Even though they were sitting face-to-face, she wanted to be close to Chen Wen.

"I bought you new clothes today, a Children's Day gift~" Jiang Qiuyi said softly. "Try them on when we get home tonight."

"Okay." Chen Wen nodded. Reminded by her, he recalled the gift box he had put in the bag earlier.

So, Chen Wen leaned down and reached into the bag.

"You can look at it later, let's eat first." Jiang Qiuyi, thinking Chen Wen wanted to admire his gift, quickly stopped him. Then she saw Chen Wen pull out a plain-looking box from the bag.

Chen Wen pushed the box towards Jiang Qiuyi.

"What's this?" Jiang Qiuyi asked, completely bewildered.

"Children's Day gift."

"A gift?!" Jiang Qiuyi exclaimed, startling Lin Meng next to her.

"What's wrong, what's wrong???" Lin Meng, having just finished her vlog's intro, turned over with concern.

Jiang Qiuyi stared at the box in front of her, her nose feeling a little sore. "Why did you suddenly think of giving me a gift?"

"Uh..." Chen Wen scratched his head. "I had some leftover wood from the White Peach Wood, and it would be a waste to throw it away, so I made something."

"Oh, come on~" Jiang Qiuyi was amused, tears welling up. "You could have just lied to me for once."

I did lie... Chen Wen thought.

The gift was something he had intended to make anyway, but it was also true that there was some White Peach Wood left over.

"Tsk tsk tsk." Lin Meng leaned over the gift box, examining it from all angles. "Isn't this the first time Chen Wen has given a gift? It's packaged like this."

Jiang Qiuyi looked at the crooked transparent tape on the box and couldn't help but laugh even harder. "It really is the first time. You're improving~"

"It should be the second time, right?" Chen Wen said after a moment of thought.

"Hmm?" Jiang Qiuyi asked, confused. "Have you given me a gift before?"

"Yes," Chen Wen nodded matter-of-factly. "During the summer vacation of sophomore year, I mailed you a complete set of Wu San. Did you forget?"

"???" Jiang Qiuyi's face instantly darkened. "How dare you bring that up?"

"I wasn't home that day, my mom received it first, and then I barely left the house for the entire summer!"

"Was that even considered giving a gift?"

Chen Wen fell silent, then bluntly said, "Your grades weren't great back then, and didn't you ask me to tutor you with your homework every day?"

"Hmph!" Jiang Qiuyi wrinkled her nose and muttered softly, "I wonder what kind of big dummy, after being invited to someone's house every day, still couldn't figure things out."

"They wanted you to come over and play with me, but you actually listened to my mom and kept staring at me doing homework!"

Jiang Qiuyi got more and more annoyed as she spoke, and her foot under the table lightly stomped on Chen Wen a few times.

"Enough, enough!" Lin Meng, standing beside them, couldn't take it anymore and quickly stopped the two from their gratuitous display of affection. "Aren't you going to look at the gift first?"

"Oh, right." Jiang Qiuyi came to her senses. Just as she was about to open the gift box, she picked up the camera on the table and thrust it into Chen Wen's hands. "You film me opening the gift. Don't get my head in the shot, okay?"

Chen Wen took the camera, aimed the lens at the gift box on the table, and watched as Jiang Qiuyi carefully peeled off the transparent tape and slowly lifted the lid of the box.

Under the bright lights of the private room, a small, white, jade-like dagger appeared in their sight.

Except for Chen Wen, whose expression remained unchanged, the other two showed different reactions.

"This..." Jiang Qiuyi was a little stunned, not understanding the meaning of the gift.

She had expected something like a bracelet or a necklace, but instead, she received a dagger?

However, the fact that Chen Wen had thought to give her a gift was enough to make Jiang Qiuyi very satisfied; she didn't ask for anything more.

Besides, the white dagger looked quite exquisite, so it wasn't a bad gift.

But Lin Meng next to her suddenly burst into laughter, covering her mouth and shaking with laughter, for reasons unknown.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Qiuyi asked with a smile, confused. "Even if the gift is a bit weird, you don't have to laugh like that, do you?"

"It's not..." Lin Meng was laughing so hard she could barely breathe. She quickly patted her forehead to calm down. "Sorry, sorry, I really couldn't help it..."

"I just watched the TV series 'Jing Ke Assassinating the King of Qin' yesterday. Seeing you two like this, I felt like you, Qiuqiu, were going to grab the dagger and assassinate him at any moment."

Jiang Qiuyi was amused. She picked up the dagger and playfully poked it a few times in Lin Meng's direction. "What kind of logic is that?"

Putting the dagger away, Jiang Qiuyi placed the gift box back and then asked, "Can you drill a hole in the handle of the dagger? Can I put a string through it?"

Chen Wen nodded. "Sure, I'll do it for you when we get back."

"Hehe." Jiang Qiuyi giggled happily. "I'll hang it around my neck then. If you dare to mess around in bed in the future, I'll make you pay!"

"..." Chen Wen fell silent for a moment, then said, "Aren't you the one who's always making the first move?"
