After rebirth, my new love and I made it real

“By the way, I recently learned two new dishes, and they are definitely better than the ones Auntie cooks.” She laughed again, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

Gu Yichen frowned deeply, "You don't have to do this."

"I really want to cook for you."

"..."

"Achen~" Xia Shu blinked and called him in that intimate tone again, "Cooking for the person you love is a very happy thing, isn't it?"

After saying that, she walked towards the kitchen, acting like a hostess.

"Xia Shu, don't be so shameless!" Gu Yichen said coldly.

Xia Shu's body visibly stiffened.

She seemed to have not expected Gu Yichen to yell at her like that. She felt extremely aggrieved and tears welled up in her eyes.

"You despise me so much. I just want to cook for you. Apart from you, I have never thought of cooking for another man. Since you are so unhappy with me, I might as well stop getting in your way. I'll leave now. There's no point in me living anyway..."

She wiped her tears and was about to walk out.

"Stop!" Gu Yichen shouted angrily.

Xia Shu stopped.

Gu Yichen just felt a splitting headache.

He stared at Xia Shu intently, with bloodshot eyes.

After a long while, he sighed softly, changed his cold expression, and said in a gentle voice: "I don't dislike you, I just don't want you to be too tired, just leave things like cooking to Auntie."

When Xia Shu heard this, the haze on her face disappeared in an instant. She regained her bright smile and looked at Gu Yichen with infatuation. "You are so good to me, but I really don't feel tired at all to cook for you."

Gu Yichen didn't want to talk and tried his best to keep a gentle expression on his face.

Suddenly, Xia Shu asked him again: "Achen, did you notice that the man just now really looks like you?"

Gu Yichen was stunned for a moment before he realized that the man she was talking about was the man who ran out with his pants up just now.

He didn't see it clearly at all.

So he smiled and said perfunctorily: "Well, it is a bit similar."

Xia Shu raised her eyebrows, "Ah Chen, I'm not a fickle woman. I did that because he looked a lot like you. When I did it with him, I imagined him to be you."

Gu Yichen was stunned, and it took him a long time to digest what Xia Shu said.

When he reacted, Xia Shu quickly changed the subject again, "Lin Qingran still didn't go to the hospital to see you these days?"

Gu Yichen felt a stab in the heart.

"No."

"She is so heartless." Xia Shu shrugged. "Ah Chen, you love her so much, but she won't even look at you. After all, you got hurt to protect her."

"My injury has nothing to do with you." Gu Yichen said calmly, "It was Jiang Dong who thought he was acting on his own."

If Jiang Dong hadn't wanted to cause trouble for Lu Siheng and Lin Qingran, this wouldn't have happened.

Xia Shu: “…”

After a long while, she smiled and said, "Achen, you really protect her."

Gu Yichen pressed his brows and stood up, "I'll go upstairs to rest."

He stood up and walked quickly upstairs as if he was avoiding the plague.

Xia Shu stood there looking at his back, her hands clenched tightly in her palms, her eyes filled with gloom.

-

Jiangyue Bay.

Lin Qingran and Lu Siheng sat on the sofa, shoulder to shoulder.

A photo album lay open on her knees.

It was the one I got from the director of Pingcheng Welfare Home.

In the past, when she was at home, she always watched it secretly by herself, but now there is no need for that.

"When did you get it?" This was the first time Lu Siheng saw this photo album.

It was full of him, from childhood to adulthood, and he couldn't even remember when some of the photos were taken.

"Guess." Lin Qingran smiled and turned her head to look at him. Lu Siheng happened to lean closer to look at the photo, and accidentally, Lin Qingran's lips brushed against Lu Siheng's face.

"Sorry." Lin Qingran said embarrassedly.

Lu Siheng glanced at her with a smile, "I'm the one who's taking advantage, why are you embarrassed?"

It seemed like he was trying to comfort her, but Lin Qingran heard a hint of excitement and pride, so she smiled and patted him, "Then apologize to me."

Lu Siheng then kissed her on the cheek and said, "I'll apologize with my actions, okay?"

Lin Qingran snorted and looked down at the photo album.

Lu Siheng smiled for a while and asked her, "I want to see your childhood photos."

“All my photos are with my mom.”

"Then when will you bring it to me?" Lu Siheng asked seriously.

"Why do you want me to get it for you? If you want to see it, go get it yourself."

Lu Siheng asked back: "Should I go to your mother to get it?"

"Yeah, didn't you say you have a good relationship with her?"

Lu Siheng tilted his head to look at her and said, "I'm sorry."

"Sorry, then don't look at it."

"No, I want to see it."

"If you want to see it, go get it yourself."

Lu Siheng: “…”

He suddenly looked straight at her.

Lin Qingran turned to look at him, curiously, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"I'm wondering what you looked like when you were a child." Lu Siheng said, "You were very cute, wearing a pink princess dress, with fair and tender skin and a round face, like a smaller Q version of you."

Lin Qingran asked him: "Is it like you?"

Lu Siheng: “?”

Lin Qingran directly turned the album to one of the pages and showed it to him, "Hey, wearing a pink princess dress, with fair and tender skin, a round face, and big eyes, isn't that you?"

The moment Lu Siheng looked down and saw the photo, he was stunned. In the photo, he was indeed wearing a pink princess dress and looked about one year old.

"Who gave me this dress?"

Why should he wear a princess dress?

Lin Qingran shrugged, "Maybe you were more androgynous when you were a child?"

Lu Siheng: “…”

Sometimes he felt that Lin Qingran’s mouth should not be used for talking, but for kissing him.

"Let's not look at this one. Let's change it." Lu Siheng turned over the photo, flipped through several pages, and picked the one that best showed off his handsomeness. "Look at this one."

Lin Qingran: "Tsk, you only pick the good-looking ones for me to see."

She added: "But the most handsome one is not in this album."

"Ah?" Lu Siheng looked at her in confusion, "Where is that?"

Lin Qingran turned and looked at him, "In front of me."

Lu Siheng: “…”

He looked at Lin Qingran's face which suddenly enlarged in front of him. The pores on her face were clearly visible, as were her curled eyelashes, smooth skin, and the slightly upturned eyes.

Lu Siheng couldn't help but lower his head and touch her lips.

He left as soon as he touched her, and after that, he just stared at Lin Qingran quietly, waiting for her judgment.

After a few seconds, Lin Qingran's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she closed her eyes and kissed back.

Lu Siheng has never been able to resist her tenderness. While savoring her flavor, he always can't help wanting more and wanting to stay longer.

He held the back of her head with one hand, trying to deepen the kiss, but Lin Qingrang turned his face away, looking at him with misty eyes, panting softly, "Okay, we have to go to Pingcheng tomorrow, so we have to go to bed early."

Lu Siheng looked at her without blinking, still feeling unsatisfied.

"What are you going to Pingcheng for?" he asked.

"Go find Director Li to do something, and return your photo album to the dean."
