  At Seal Palace.

  After Gu Mang came out of the shower, she sat on the sofa and found a comfortable position to play games. Lu Chengzhou was preparing dinner in the kitchen. The ingredients were thrown into the pot one after another. He looked at Gu Mang who was playing games lazily with a towel on her head and looked slightly dazed. After a while he looked away and made a cup of honey water and brought it to her.

  He came behind her and ruffled the towel on her head. “Drink some.”


  His hand was a little hot and she could feel it through the towel. Gu Mang’s body stiffened for a moment. She looked up and saw Lu Chengzhou sit beside her.

  Looking at her phone screen, Lu Chengzhou lifted his chin. “Incoming.”


  Gu Mang came back to her senses. She could hear the footsteps of an enemy approaching in the game. She looked back at the phone and continued playing her game. Lu Chengzhou watched her play and occasionally fed her food.

  The entire apartment was quiet but filled with an indescribable warmth.

  After playing a round of games, Lu Chengzhou went to the kitchen to check on the porridge. Gu Mang thought for a while and followed him.

  They remained in the same position.

  He stood by the stove and stirred the porridge with a wooden spoon before washing fruits to make a fruit salad. Gu Mang bent one leg and leaned against the marble table.

  She looked out the window and raised her eyebrows. “It’s really snowing.”


  Lu Chengzhou turned around and looked. “Yeah, do you want to go skiing tomorrow?”


  Gu Mang shook her head and picked up a tomato to eat. It was a little sour and she didn’t want to eat another one. She said in a low voice, “It’s cold. I’ll play games and watch a movie tomorrow.”


  ‘I’m not interested in skiing.’


  “Okay, there’s a small theater in the apartment. What do you want to watch? I’ll have someone bring it over.” Lu Chengzhou poured yogurt into the cut fruit and mixed it. He then stabbed a small tomato with his fork and fed it to her. “It’s not sour this time.”


  Gu Mang frowned and hesitated for a second before looking at him. He lifted his chin, gesturing for her to try. Gu Mang pursed her lips and tried it reluctantly. The sweetness of the yogurt masked the sour taste and it tasted surprisingly good.

  Lu Chengzhou saw her eyebrows relax and he smiled. His voice was gentle as he said, “Go have a seat in the dining room. The porridge is ready.”


  “Okay,” Gu Mang replied. She stood up straight, put her hands in her pockets, and walked to the dining room.

  Lu Chengzhou’s black rice and red date milk was sweet, the kind Gu Mang enjoyed. It was delicious. After dinner, Gu Mang went to the study to print out some medical information and sat on the carpet in the living room to read it.

  It was from Yu Zhongjing regarding the new medical technology. Lu Chengzhou wasn’t a medical professional. Some of the words were rather unfamiliar and he only vaguely knew their meanings. It was a brand new type of medical technology, similar to the repair capsules. It was a single-person sterile room that could minimize any medical deterioration. It was a major breakthrough. He didn’t expect her to want to open this door.

  Lu Chengzhou sat next to her and did his own things, calculating data for the new fighter jet. The two of them were very close to each other, so close that they were almost touching.

  At eleven o’clock, Gu Mang put down her pen, yawned, and stretched.

  Lu Chengzhou looked up. “Sleepy?”


  Gu Mang hummed. “I’m going to bed. Goodnight.”


  “Okay.” Lu Chengzhou watched as she got up and went into the master bedroom with the documents. From behind she looked cool and sexy.

  The corners of his lips curled up into a meaningful smile. Gu Mang returned to her room, the sleepiness in her eyes completely gone.

  She sat at the table and turned on her computer to contact Yu Zhongjing. The other party picked up very quickly. “Master, you found the problem so quickly?”
