During those yeors, Boi Jingshu wos notorious for chonging girlfriends frequently ond not returning home oll night.
This might be nothing for odults.
However, only Boi Yunon knew how well-behoved Boi Jingshu wos when he wos o child.
In Boi Jingshu's noture, he wos o well-behoved child. However, ofter his porents' divorce, he begon to do things to grob people's ottention due to their negligence.
Over time, he goined o reputotion.
Shu Yonion wos not o suitoble motch. A womon like her who could eosily turn oround ond choose to be with onother mon would eosily betroy Boi Jingshu even if she reolly morried him.
Boi Yunon's explonotion, which didn't sound like on excuse, slightly surprised Boi Jingshu.
He didn't expect Boi Yunon to exploin this to him.
Although some time hod possed, ond Boi Jingshu wosn't too concerned obout it onymore, heoring Boi Yunon's sincere explonotion unexpectedly touched him.
After o while, Boi Jingshu mentioned, "It's been some time since you lost sow Qingyou, right? She come over todoy. We ore now stoying ot Qinghon's oportment."
Boi Yunon simply responded, "Okoy."
After Boi Jingshu hung up the phone, he fell into deep thought.
At this moment, An Xio colled him from the kitchen. "Jingshu, come here ond help bring the dishes to the dining toble. It's time to eot."
"I'm coming!" Boi Jingshu roised his voice ond responded.
He then got up ond went into the kitchen.
Going stroight post Lu Qingyou, he kissed An Xio on the cheek. "We hove o friend coming loter. Pleose prepore on extro dish, my deor wife."
An Xio wos token obock by his sudden kiss. "Oh." She dozedly nodded. “Okoy."
Turning her heod, she sow Lu Qingyou covering her smile. An Xio's foce quickly turned red, ond she pretended to colmly turn oround before she storted cutting the vegetobles.
However, she olmost cut her finger.
...
An Xio hod just finished cooking the lost dish when Boi Yunon orrived.
Heoring the knock on the door, she urged Boi Jingshu to open it.
However, Boi Jingshu sot still in his choir os if he hodn't heord onything.
"I'll go ond open the door," offered Lu Qingyou.
She then stood up ond ron toword the door.
After heoring the sound of the door opening, An Xio didn't heor ony voices or see Lu Qingyou coming over.
"Qingyou, whot's wrong? Who is it?" An Xio took off her opron ond went to the door.
When she reoched the door, she sow Lu Qingyou ond Boi Yunon stonding foce to foce, one inside the door ond the other outside. They looked ot eoch other without soying o word.
Boi Yunon wos toll, ond Lu Qingyou wos slightly toller thon An Xio, but stonding in front of Boi Yunon, she wos still much shorter thon him.
During those years, Bai Jingshu was notorious for changing girlfriends frequently and not returning home all night.
This might be nothing for adults.
However, only Bai Yunan knew how well-behaved Bai Jingshu was when he was a child.
In Bai Jingshu's nature, he was a well-behaved child. However, after his parents' divorce, he began to do things to grab people's attention due to their negligence.
Over time, he gained a reputation.
Shu Yanian was not a suitable match. A woman like her who could easily turn around and choose to be with another man would easily betray Bai Jingshu even if she really married him.
Bai Yunan's explanation, which didn't sound like an excuse, slightly surprised Bai Jingshu.
He didn't expect Bai Yunan to explain this to him.
Although some time had passed, and Bai Jingshu wasn't too concerned about it anymore, hearing Bai Yunan's sincere explanation unexpectedly touched him.
After a while, Bai Jingshu mentioned, "It's been some time since you last saw Qingyou, right? She came over today. We are now staying at Qinghan's apartment."
Bai Yunan simply responded, "Okay."
After Bai Jingshu hung up the phone, he fell into deep thought.
At this moment, An Xia called him from the kitchen. "Jingshu, come here and help bring the dishes to the dining table. It's time to eat."
"I'm coming!" Bai Jingshu raised his voice and responded.
He then got up and went into the kitchen.
Going straight past Lu Qingyou, he kissed An Xia on the cheek. "We have a friend coming later. Please prepare an extra dish, my dear wife."
An Xia was taken aback by his sudden kiss. "Oh." She dazedly nodded. “Okay."
Turning her head, she saw Lu Qingyou covering her smile. An Xia's face quickly turned red, and she pretended to calmly turn around before she started cutting the vegetables.
However, she almost cut her finger.
...
An Xia had just finished cooking the last dish when Bai Yunan arrived.
Hearing the knock on the door, she urged Bai Jingshu to open it.
However, Bai Jingshu sat still in his chair as if he hadn't heard anything.
"I'll go and open the door," offered Lu Qingyou.
She then stood up and ran toward the door.
After hearing the sound of the door opening, An Xia didn't hear any voices or see Lu Qingyou coming over.
"Qingyou, what's wrong? Who is it?" An Xia took off her apron and went to the door.
When she reached the door, she saw Lu Qingyou and Bai Yunan standing face to face, one inside the door and the other outside. They looked at each other without saying a word.
Bai Yunan was tall, and Lu Qingyou was slightly taller than An Xia, but standing in front of Bai Yunan, she was still much shorter than him.
For some reason, they looked good standing together.
An Xia hesitated for a moment before she spoke up. "Yunan? Why are you here?"
"I came to see if you are used to living outside." Bai Yunan looked at An Xia and walked in without hesitation.
As he took a step forward and stood in the middle, Lu Qingyou immediately stepped aside. Seeing this, Bai Yunan reached out and pulled her to the side. After closing the door behind him, he stalked over to An Xia.
"I brought some fruits."
An Xia was pleasantly surprised and immediately took the fruits from Bai Yunan's hand, smiling. "You only had to come. You didn't have to bring us fruits!"
But Bai Yunan didn't say anything more to her. Instead, he turned his head and looked at Lu Qingyou, who hadn't said a word since he came in.
An Xia followed his gaze and looked at Lu Qingyou before her gaze darted back to Bai Yunan.
Bai Jingshu, who was sitting at the dining table, was not happy. He picked up his fork and tapped the table a few times. "Hurry up. Stop dawdling and let's eat."
"Ah, we're coming." Lu Qingyou finally seemed to come back to her senses and scurried off to the dining table.
After Bai Yunan sat down next to her, she moved her chair a little, seemingly wanting to keep some distance from Bai Yunan.
An Xia, with her woman's intuition, noticed that there was something fishy between Lu Qingyou and Bai Yunan.
But there is a big age difference between them…
When An Xia was chatting with Lu Qingyou in the kitchen just now, she learned that Lu Qingyou was only a 21-year-old intern who had almost graduated.
And according to the information she had heard from Aunt Liu before, Bai Yunan was already 32 years old this year.
There was an 11-year age difference between the 32-year-old Bai Yunan and the 21-year-old Lu Qingyou.
Their age difference seemed quite…big.
At the dining table, Lu Qingyou didn't say a word despite how chatty she was before.
On the other hand, Bai Yunan ate his food with a serious expression. He didn't look at anyone or say anything.
After taking a sip of soup, An Xia started, "Yunan, these are just simple home-cooked dishes. They're not as good as Aunt Liu's—"
Bai Yunan directly replied with three words, "They taste good."
When he was on missions outside, he had eaten all kinds of plants, wild fruits, and even dry rations. That was why he was never a picky eater.
An Xia felt a little relieved upon hearing that.
Bai Jingshu picked up a piece of ribs for An Xia then. "He's someone who can even digest mud. Why do you care if he likes it or not?"
Bai Yunan only glanced at Bai Jingshu indifferently without saying a word.
Not liking the fact that he was being ignored, Bai Jingshu shifted his gaze to Lu Qingyou, who was quiet as if her mouth had been sewn shut.
"Qingyou, why aren't you talking? You and Yunan have always had a good relationship, no? Why aren't you saying anything now?"
Lu Qingyou quickly finished the rice in her bowl and put down her spoon. Standing up, she announced, "I'm full. I'll be taking my leave now."
Even though she hadn't even swallowed the food in her mouth, she had already grabbed her bag and was running away.
When she left, she slammed the door with a loud bang.
An Xia stole a glance at Bai Yunan and saw that his face had darkened.
Sure enough, Bai Yunan and Lu Qingyou had something going on.
"I have work to do, so I'll go back first." Bai Yunan put down his fork and left.
An Xia and Bai Jingshu were the only ones left in the room now.
However, An Xia was no longer in the mood to eat. She was consumed by curiosity
"What's going on between Yunan and Qingyou?" She turned to Bai Jingshu, her curiosity written all over her face.
Bai Jingshu took a sip of water from his glass before saying, "What can it be? It's just as you saw."
"What did I see?"
An Xia was puzzled for a moment before realization hit her. "They have feelings for each other! There is finally going to be some action in Yunan's love life!"
Cough!
Bai Jingshu choked on his saliva after hearing her words.
"How in the world can you tell that Yunan and Qingyou have romantic feelings for each other?"
"I saw it with both of my eyes." An Xia grabbed his arm and analyzed it seriously. "Look, Qingyou, who loves to talk, didn't say a word after seeing Yunan. She even ran away shyly. Yunan also left in a hurry when she ran away. What can this be, if this is not love?!"
Bai Jingshu couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Qingyou is interested in Yunan, this is not a secret in the compound. But to say that Yunan is interested in her as well… That's quite impossible."
"Huh? But why?" An Xia could feel that Bai Yunan also had some thoughts about Lu Qingyou.
"Don't ask so many questions. You should eat more. You are physically so weak that you get tired after a few rounds. If you continue like this—"
As Bai Jingshu's words became more and more outrageous, An Xia stuffed a piece of vegetable into his mouth. "Just eat! Stop talking nonsense!"
"Wasn't that the case last night? After a few rounds, you said you didn't want it anymore—"
"Bai Jingshu!" How dare he mention last night!
The shameless man swallowed the leaf in his mouth and continued talking like they were negotiating. "Let's try the position from last night again tonight. I think—"
"You're sleeping on the couch tonight!"
