Qin Shu had been observing everything the man was doing, so when he cut his hand, she saw it immediately.

  Although she knew the man was unafraid of pain and these were just minor injuries to him, she felt a twinge in her heart.

  That was why she had reacted so strongly.

  The man looked at the woman in a daze when she suddenly ran over. Her small oval-shaped face was clearly very pretty, but she had to make it look tanned from the sun.

  Since her eyes were bright and beautiful, they made her look pretty.

  The color of her lips was pink. Her lips were pretty and had a three-dimensional feel. The corners of her mouth were curled up slightly.

  There was undisguisable concern in her eyes now.

  His finger felt warm. The strange sensation went coursing through him again.

  He only realized what was going on when the woman took his hand out.

  Qin Shu stared at the man’s fingers. His knuckles were long and slender, and his nails were well-manicured. They looked very nice, but just as she took them out, blood flowed out again.

  “It’s still bleeding. Do you have a band-aid at home?”


  Qin Shu was talking about home as though it was theirs. It was as if she subconsciously treated this place as her own home.

  She said this sentence very naturally and smoothly.

  The man subconsciously replied, “Yes.”


  “Wait there and don’t move. I’ll go look for it.”


  Qin Shu let go of his hand and ran out quickly.

  The man also followed her out because he hadn’t told her where to find the first aid kit.

  Qin Shu walked straight into the room and scanned the room. She saw the cabinet on the right side of the wall. She walked over and opened the cabinet door. She saw a small first aid kid quietly sitting inside. Compared to the first aid kit in Bright Garden, this one was obviously half the size.

  The man also walked in and saw the woman opening the cabinet door. A hint of confusion flashed in his eyes. How did she know that he had placed the first aid box here?

  Qin Shu hurriedly took out the first aid kit and turned around to see the man. After being stunned for a second, she walked to the bed and placed the first aid kit on the bed. She opened the first aid kit. Since it was small, the medical supplies inside were also lacking.

  She took out the band-aid from the small drawer, tore open the packaging, turned around, and nimbly held up the man’s injured finger. She used a cotton pad to gently wipe the blood on it.

  The man stared at the woman for a long time and asked, “How did you know that the medical kit was in the cabinet?”


  Qin Shu replied without raising her head, “You have this habit of putting things. The household medical kit will be placed in the room. You don’t like to bend down to take it because it’s a waste of time. You like to place it where you can reach it with your hand, and somewhere accessible. It’s best to put it in the place closest to the bed or the place closest to the sofa.”


  In the past, the first aid kit was placed in the room next door.

  She had once accidentally hurt her hand and lost a lot of blood.

  When the man went to get the first aid kit, he wasted some time searching for it and she lost a lot of blood while waiting. After bandaging her wound, he instructed the maid the first aid kit must be placed in the room. He could get it very quickly if it was placed by the bed or the sofa.

  In the end, he was worried the maid would do it wrongly, so he did it himself. It eventually became the kind of habit that refused to change.

  The man was stunned again. Did she even know about this little habit of his so clearly?

  After Qin Shu wiped off the blood from his hand, she pasted the band-aid over the wound and heaved a sigh of relief. “It’s done.”


  The man lowered his head to look at the finger with the band-aid, then looked at the woman in front of him with a curious look.

  Qin Shu noticed he was staring at her. She asked in puzzlement, “What’s wrong?”


  “I’ll go stir-fry the vegetables.” The man withdrew his gaze and turned around to walk out.

  Qin Shu followed him out with puzzlement.

  The vegetables were stir-fried very quickly. It didn’t take long for them to be ready.

  The corn and stewed pork ribs were also ready by now.

  The man held a plate and took the cured meat before placing them into the plate piece by piece with his chopsticks.

  Qin Shu helped to carry the dishes. On the table, there were three dishes and a soup.

  She sat down at the table and waited for the man to fill the bowl with rice.

  The man brought two bowls of rice and two pairs of chopsticks. He placed a bowl of rice in front of Qin Shu. “Eat up.”


  Then, she sat down as well.

  Qin Shu looked at the steaming white rice in front of her and picked up the chopsticks. She then looked at the man opposite her. It had been too long since they sat down to eat together. Now that they were finally sitting down to eat together again, she was very happy.

  She pushed the rice in front of her forward. “Give me some food.”


  In the past, it was always the man who took the initiative to give her food. She felt he always gave her food when they ate and treated her like a child.

  After being separated for so long, she really wanted the man to help place food in her bowl.

  But now, she could only take the initiative to ask the man to do it for her.

  The man looked up at her and saw the look of anticipation on her face. “Don’t you know how to do it?”


  Qin Shu’s eyes curved into a smile. “I like it when you help me.”


  The man went quiet before he said, “Why are you like a child?”


  Qin Shu continued smiling. “I only act this way to you.”


  The man had heard this sentence more than once. He chuckled softly. “Then how do you act in front of others?”


  Qin Shu said, “No one else has seen this side of me.”


  The man paused for a moment and thought of the first time they had met. The woman had cried, thrown a tantrum, acted coquettishly, acted arrogantly, and acted like a child in front of him. Also, she was like a vixen.

  He thought about all the ways she had kissed him.

  He asked, “Have you kissed anyone else?”


  “No.” Qin Shu then added, “Are you happy?”


  The man was stunned on hearing this, and an inexplicable sense of joy rose in his heart.

  It was a strange unexpected sensation.

  “Women should be more dignified. You can’t kiss random men.” He withdrew his gaze and glanced at the three dishes and one soup in front of him. He picked up a bit of each dish and put it into her bowl.

  When Qin Shu heard this, she couldn’t help but laugh. “I will only kiss you.”


  After saying this, she clenched her chopsticks, picked up a piece of bacon, put it into her mouth, and started eating. It had been a long time since she had eaten a meal personally prepared by the man. It felt even more delicious than before.

  The man stared at the person in front of him for a while before he retracted his gaze and continued eating the rice in his bowl.

  Qin Shu raised her head to look at the man in front of her. She tightened her grip on her chopsticks, picked up a piece of ribs, and placed it into his bowl. “You eat more too.”


  The man looked at the ribs that had suddenly appeared in his bowl and raised his eyes to look at the woman in front of him. Qin Shu arched her eyebrows at him.

  “Let’s eat.” The man withdrew his gaze and looked at the spare ribs in the bowl. He squeezed his chopsticks, picked them up, and put them into his mouth to eat.

  When Qin Shu saw this, she could not help smiling.

  Qin Shu ate two full bowls of rice during lunch.

  missing that she ate so much and enjoyed such a good meal.

  She took out a tissue and wiped the grease at the corner of her mouth in satisfaction.

  When the man was clearing the dishes, he glanced at Qin Shu. His mood lifted when he saw the satisfied look on her face. He carried the dishes into the kitchen to wash them.

  There were only a few dishes, so he was done cleaning them in no time.

  Qin Shu stood by the door and watched. She felt as though she had returned to the past

  cook for her and wash the dishes.
