"And then, I make a mean dish, you know; my classmates all loved the Chinese food I cooked, and I got along great with everyone. After all, it's hard to speak ill of someone who feeds you, right?"

Fu Jingshen gave the girl before him a deep, profound look, fully aware that she was trying to comfort him at the moment.

"Mm, I understand..."

Gu Nian let out a small sigh of relief upon hearing his words, truly not wanting the man to worry about her.

Listening quietly to the man's strong heartbeat, Gu Nian curled her lips into a smile, filled with a sense of security.
