Because he was planning on sending Xu Lian some lunch, Xiang ChangKong went back into the kitchen after breakfast. Weng ShuLi went with him and said: "I can make lunch by myself. I haven't been active for a long time, so I want to slowly regain strength by cooking."

Xiang ChangKong felt a little embarrassed as he replied: "I promised Xu Lian that I would make her lunch today."

Weng ShuLi immediately understood. With a smile, she reminded him: "Pursuing girls require some patience."

"I know, mom." Xiang ChangKong poured some stock into a pot and said: "The kitchen is going to get filled with smoke so you should go and rest in the living room."


"Alright." Weng ShuLi went into the living room, then picked up her cellphone. Her previous number had long been useless, so she had asked Xiang ChangKong to help her get a new one worth several hundred yuan. The change in providers hadn't removed all her saved contacts though. Now, as Weng ShuLi scrolled through the familiar names, her heart couldn't help but tremble.

She had ignored too many things these past three years. Although Father Xiang is gone, there were still so many people alive beside her. So many of her friends from the dance group persisted in visiting her these past few years, but she had never given them any face. In retrospect, Weng ShuLi was too ashamed to see them.

Weng ShuLi typed up a text message and sent it to everyone she knew.

She told them that she was ready to dance again.

Meanwhile, Xiang ChangKong had finished cooking and was putting the food in some insulated lunchboxes. Soon afterward, he left the house with a textbook in his hands. Xiang ChangKong no longer needed to avoid Weng ShuLi's gaze.

Zhang GuoEr noticed that Xu Lian had been absent-minded all morning. Due to her three-day shopping spree abroad, Xu Lian should be busy making orders right now. But now, although orders were being made...Xu Lian was acting differently!

But soon, Zhang GuoEr found out what Xu Lian had been waiting for.

It was takeout- and not any ordinary takeout, but food that was filled with love.


When Zhang GuoEr saw the extremely familiar lunchbox in Xiang ChangKong's hands, she understood.

The moment Xiang ChangKong entered the store, Xu Lian had suddenly become so engrossed with her work. So engrossed that she didn't seem to notice Xiang ChangKong come in. Zhang GuoEr forced the ends of her mouth to flatten and greeted Xiang ChangKong: "Hello, brother. Are you delivering takeout for Boss again today?"

Xiang ChangKong gave her a slight smile. Looking a little shy, he replied: "Yeah."

Seeing his timid appearance, Zhang GuoEr tactfully said: "Oh, you know that Boss has been abroad for three days. Orders have been piling up since then, so she's very busy right now."

"I see." Xiang ChangKong handed the lunchbox to Zhang GuoEr and said: "Then, please help me pass this to her when she comes down later."

Zhang GuoEr accepted the lunchbox full of dog food, then grinned at Xiang ChangKong. "Alright! No problem."

Looking up at the busy Xu Lian, Xiang ChangKong couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. "Please remind her to eat lunch."

Zhang GuoEr replied: "Yep, no problem."

With this, Xiang ChangKong finally felt at ease and left.


As soon as his scooter left, Xu Lian came downstairs. Zhang GuoEr grabbed a pen and her notebook, then looked at Xu Lian. "Boss, what are you planning? Please tell me so I can learn."
