After rebirth, my new love and I made it real

Lin Qingran grasped the fabric on Lu Siheng's shoulders with one hand to steady herself, and looked at him with a frown, showing a hint of displeasure.

What is he doing?

Lu Siheng also looked at her, a trace of apology flashed across his ancient eyes, "I'm sorry, I saw you stepped on the ground, and subconsciously..."

He held her on his lap.

"I was offended," he added.

Mother Lin immediately looked at Lu Siheng, "Xiao Lu, why are you so reserved? You mean well, there's nothing offensive about it."

After saying that, he glanced at Lin Qingran unhappily, "If Xiao Lu hadn't caught you, you don't know what you would have fallen into..."

"Mom, stop talking and help me get my slippers." Lin Qingran pointed at the slippers that fell at Mother Lin's feet and yelled.

How dare she say that? If she hadn't intervened, would she have fallen?

Her mother really has no bottom line.

Mother Lin glanced down at her slippers and bent down to pick them up.

Just when Lin Qingran was thinking that her mother would throw the slippers at her feet, she watched her mother stuff the slippers into Lu Siheng's hands.

Lin Qingran: “?”

Before Lin Qingran could react, a warm hand had already grasped her ankle.

Lu Siheng naturally put one of the slippers on her foot, and then grabbed her other ankle...

Lin Qingran lowered her eyes to look at Lu Siheng Qingjun's profile, and the soles of her feet were rubbed by his fingertips, causing a tingling sensation.

"Lin Qingran, the soles of your feet are a little cold, is it because of your cold constitution?"

Lin Qingran heard Lu Siheng ask amidst the sound of her pounding heartbeat.

Lu Siheng had already put on her shoes without her knowing. Lin Qingran was caught off guard by his eyes which contained a warm smile.

The air around them suddenly became hotter, her heart was beating, she looked away awkwardly and stood up from his arms, "Yeah, that's just my constitution."

Mother Lin looked at Lin Qingran's slightly red cheeks and chuckled with her hands covering her mouth.

"Oh, my cell phone." She suddenly looked down at Lu Siheng's feet and exclaimed.

It was dropped accidentally when Lu Siheng freed his hand to catch Lin Qingran just now.

On the phone screen was a photo of Lin Qingran when she was a child.

Lu Siheng reached out to grab it.

"Let me do it."

Lin Qingran picked up the phone faster than him and handed it to Lin's mother, warning her, "Don't spread my dark history everywhere!"

"Alright, alright, I get it. I didn't realize you cared so much about your image in Xiao Lu's heart... um..."

"Shut up!" Lin Qingran covered her mouth directly, "Ms. Zhou, please don't go too far today. If you continue like this, I will really go crazy."

Mother Lin looked pitiful, as if she had been kidnapped. She blinked and nodded repeatedly.

Lin Qingran let go of her hand and said, "I went upstairs and made an appointment with Ruirui to play games."

"Wait!" Mother Lin called out to her.

Lin Qingran paused, turned back, and frowned, "What kind of evil are you trying to do?"

Mother Lin pointed at Lu Siheng and said, "Take little Lu upstairs."

"Why should I bring him up there? He's fine sitting here."

"Xiao Lu finally came to see you, and I invited him to have dinner. Now the meal is not ready yet. How can I let him wait here alone?"

"I'm not alone, aren't you here?"

"No." Mother Lin looked very embarrassed. "I have nothing in common with you young people."

"Really?" Lin Qingran raised her eyebrows, "I saw you guys were having a good chat just now."

Mother Lin: “…”

Lin Qingran ignored him and quickly went upstairs in her slippers, not wanting to face Lu Siheng awkwardly anymore.

Mother Lin's voice came from behind:

"Oh, Xiao Lu, look at her. She always bullies me like this at home. When we were young, she quarreled with me every day. When she was in the second grade, she told me that her name was not nice and she insisted on changing it to Lin Xiancao. I disagreed, so she had a big quarrel with me, saying that I didn't understand her and that she must not be my biological child. She then ran away from home and pretended to commit suicide by taking poison..."

"Mom!" Lin Qingran came back and roared at her, "Why do you say everything?"

Really satisfied.

"Oh, keep your voice down." Mother Lin pouted in grievance, "You don't want to accompany Xiao Lu, and you don't allow me to chat with Xiao Lu? You are still as unreasonable as when you were a child."

Lin Qingran: “…”

Who is being unreasonable?

"...Okay, okay, I'll take him upstairs. Are you satisfied?" Lin Qingran had to compromise.

If Lu Siheng were to stay here, who knows how her image in Lu Siheng's heart would be damaged by her mother?

She turned to look at Lu Siheng, "Come with me upstairs first, and leave my mother alone, so she won't talk nonsense."

Lu Siheng laughed.

Lin Qingran led Lu Siheng back to her room.

"Excuse me." Lin Qingran glanced at the messy clothes and items in the room, "My room is a bit messy."

Just as he finished speaking, the cell phone thrown on the bed rang.

Lin Qingran had just answered the call when Bai Shirui's voice came from the other end: "Are you done? What took you so long? We are short one person, and you are the only one missing."

"coming."

Lu Siheng listened to her conversation with Bai Shirui, and guessed that Lin Qingran was about to play games, so he took the initiative to sit on the sofa in the corner, not disturbing her, and quietly browsed his phone with his head down.

Lin Qingran glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, said nothing, sat on the edge of the bed, and logged into the game.

One plays games, the other reads financial news; they don't disturb each other, and things get along peacefully.

"Wait for me, wait for me, don't go up!"

"Good fellow, Bai Shirui, please don't give up! You are an assassin, why are you fighting against a tank?"

"You go and lead the line. Ah, be good and give up killing people."

"Can you please stop aiming? Go push the lane too. Can't you see the high ground tower is about to be pushed down?"

"Where's the support? Why do you want to buy a crit gear? Ah? If you can't do it, it won't be your turn to carry the whole game!"

"..."

Until the sound of "Defeat" came from the game, Lin Qingran became angry, "What kind of people are these! I'm so mad!"

Lu Siheng glanced at her silently, "..."

Lin Qingran was very different when she was playing games with her friends than he had seen her before, at least she was not as reserved as when she was facing him.

He still remembered how she looked when he first met her near New York's Grand Central Station seven years ago, passionate and cheerful.

But when they met again seven years later, she was cold to everyone, especially to him.

Even though she is married to him now, she always keeps her distance, does not disturb or interfere, and is polite yet distant.

Just like now, even if he sat in front of her, Lin Qingran would not make time to play games with him like she would with a friend.

Lu Siheng looked at Lin Qingran, who was immersed in the game and shouting from time to time, with a mixture of tenderness and loss in his eyes.

Another game is over.

The phone rang with an incoming call.

Lin Qingran took a glance and saw that it was an unfamiliar number.

The call was connected and Gu Yichen's voice came from the other end.

"Lin Qingran, where are you?"
