In the end, Shizune did not run away from home again. After all, it was Lady Tsunade who took the initiative to find her last time.

"Lady Tsunade, I have good news for you. There will be a book signing event soon, and you can meet the author then."

Tsunade became interested when she heard this. She had been to that bookstore before and wanted to find out about the author and then thank him in person.

"Then buy the books from the bookstore again when the time comes!"

Tsunade felt that this would better demonstrate her sincerity, and supporting the author with practical actions would make her feel at ease.

"Tsunade-sama, there's no need for that. As long as you have Li Qing-sama's book, you can get it signed, whether it's new or old."

"I want it!"

Hearing such willful words, Shizune was stunned for a moment, then raised her eyebrows.

"Lady Tsunade, you lost all your money a long time ago. The money you have now is earned by me. I won't let you do anything wrong."

Tsunade's face turned red when she heard Shizune's words, feeling a little embarrassed. She didn't expect that her property was gone, and her family property had been squandered over the years. Seeing Shizune's arrogant look, she was furious.

"At most I'll just borrow it. I'll take on some S-rank missions in a while. I can pay you back your little money in a matter of minutes."

Shizune was very happy to hear that Lady Tsunade was willing to take on the mission, but she still shook her head and refused.

"Tsunade-sama, you should learn the noble character of Li Qing-sama. Almost all of his books are sold at cost price, just to let more people read books. He even used the second floor of the bookstore as a library to help those who have no money to buy books. He will not like your way of thanking him. As long as you become a better person, it will be the greatest gratitude to him!"

"I...."

Tsunade felt a little embarrassed when she heard what Shizune said. She didn't expect that Shizune, a teenage girl, could see things more clearly than she did. For the past ten years, she had basically been in a daze, just to escape reality.

Tsunade looked at Shizune carefully. She found that the little girl seemed to have grown up and was no longer the little girl she used to be. She seemed to understand more than she did. Moreover, she had always been willful and ignored the feelings of the little girl beside her.

Thinking of all the things Shizune had done for her, Tsunade's heart melted. In name, she was taking care of Shizune, but in fact, it was Shizune who had been taking care of her.

"Shizune!"

Tsunade suddenly hugged Shizune and held her in her arms. Shizune was caught off guard by the suddenness of the hug. When she came to her senses, she was a little uncomfortable with Tsunade.

"Tsunade-sama, what's wrong with you?"

Tsunade said nothing, just hugged Shizune, as if to make up for her long-term neglect.

After an unknown amount of time, Tsunade let go of Shizune.

"Shizune, thank you!"

Shizune's eyes suddenly widened, the Tsunade-sama she knew had never been so gentle.

"Tsunade-sama, no need."

Jingyin was a little overwhelmed, and quickly waved her hands to show that there was no need to be so polite. People are like this, sudden good or sudden bad will make them unable to adapt for a while.

Shizune felt that her relationship with Lady Tsunade seemed to have changed. She couldn't tell exactly what was different. But judging from Lady Tsunade's recent state, the books she gave her should have played a role.

Shizune was very happy about this.

......

Some time after the new book was put on the shelves, Nohara Lin hung the date of the signing event at the door of the bookstore.

February fourteenth.

Nohara Lin remembered that when she told Li Qing the date, he looked very strange. She was puzzled. When she asked Li Qing, he didn't tell her.

On the top of Maple Leaf Mountain, there is a huge peach tree, which looks like a pink oil-paper umbrella held up by someone from afar. It is like a beautiful woman standing gracefully on the top of the mountain.

"Qing, push for me."

Tiantian sat on the swing under the peach tree and shouted while looking at Li Qing who was sitting on the peach tree.

Li Qing moved his fingers, and the Tiantian swing began to move on its own. The swing swung back and forth, and the scenery below the mountain was different every moment.

"Qing, push with your hands."

Tiantian was not very satisfied with Li Qing's cutting corners. She preferred Li Qing to have close contact with her.

Li Qing knew what she was thinking, so he floated to her side and sat with her. When the swing started to move again, it was already carrying two people. Tiantian was finally satisfied and smiled. Then he gently leaned his head on Li Qing's shoulder and hugged his arms with both hands.

"green!"

Tiantian suddenly called Li Qing.

"Ok!"

Li Qing also replied to Tiantian.

Ever since the swing under the peach tree was built, Tiantian would often ask Li Qing to swing with her. She liked the feeling of swinging with Li Qing, as if at that moment there were only two of them in the world.

The two of them swung quietly together under the peach tree, and the beauty of this moment was forever remembered in their hearts.

The spring breeze learned of this and blew the red shadow of the swing.

After the last swing to the highest point, Li Qing hugged Tiantian and got off the swing, floating down the mountain together.

...

In the blink of an eye, February 14th arrived.

On that day, after Nohara Lin and Li Qing and his group finished their training on the mountain, she kept an eye on Li Qing. She was afraid that Li Qing would take the opportunity not to go. If he stood her up, the impact of the plan would be very bad.

"Xiaolin, there's no need to be like this! I'll go."

Since he had shown no interest in the book signing and had asked several times if it could be cancelled, Nohara Lin was still worried. When she heard him calling her Xiaolin, she frowned slightly. However, thinking that Li Qing was the protagonist today, she did not pursue the matter of disrespecting her sister too much. She would wait until the matter was over and decide whether to settle the score with him.

"And change your clothes. You don't look like a writer like this. You look too delicate. Wear a pair of glasses to cover it up. Otherwise, people will question your plagiarism."

Nohara Lin, like a manager, took out a set of slightly mature clothes from her back pocket, as well as a pair of round gold-rimmed glasses, and even a comb for combing hair.

Seeing Nohara Lin being so exaggerated, Li Qing thought about it and spoke.

"Actually, I copied those books from others."

"Ah!"

However, as soon as he said this, Nohara Lin just glanced at him and said nothing. She didn't take Li Qing's words to heart at all, just thinking he was joking again.

Li Qing didn't quite understand why no one believed the truth, but a lot of people believed lies.

Seeing Nohara Lin eager to take off his clothes, Li Qing had no choice but to take the clothes from her and go back to his room to change out of the Taoist robe he had been wearing. When Li Qing came out of the room, he was already dressed in a new look.

Seeing Li Qing wearing other clothes for the first time, everyone stared with wide eyes, looking at him in wonder. Li Qing's mother even went forward to touch it to see if it was an illusion or something.

Nohara Lin was very satisfied with Li Qing wearing the clothes she had specially made. This was something she had already thought of when she started planning. She walked around Li Qing a few times, nodded, and started talking.

"Put on your glasses and comb your hair."

Nohara Lin pushed Li Qing to sit on the chair, opened his Taoist bun, combed his hair, then took out her own hair-tying rubber band and tied a low ponytail for Li Qing.

When Li Qing finally put on those glasses, he was completely different from before.
