Gu Shaocheng chuckled, "The way you’re looking, it’s as if you’ve never tasted delicious food before. Have I ever mistreated your stomach that badly?"

Chenxing nodded vigorously, "It’s a delicacy of the human world..."

"I give up on you!"

Gu Shaocheng parked the car by the roadside, pulled out his wallet, and stingily gave a small bill. "Go buy it, you poor thing."

Chenxing giggled, immediately dashed out of the car, bought several street foods and came back, nibbling as he went, "It’s still that same taste from back then; it’s been so long since I’ve had such delicious food!"

Then, smacking his lips, "Do you want some?"

Gu Shaocheng gave him a disdainful glance, "No, don’t cry in front of me if your stomach acts up tonight."

Chenxing turned his head and continued eating by himself.

Just then, Chenxing received a text message. It was a thank you note. "Chenxing, thank you, really, thank you." 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Chenxing was taken aback; it was Xia Jianqing’s message. Why was he sending such a message out of the blue?

Chenxing, puzzled, sent a message inquiring back, and then, with his mouth full of oil, turned to the man beside him and asked in surprise, "Shaocheng, are you planning to let Jianqing take his father away?"

"Put the surname back on."

"Huh?"

"Calling so intimately, asking for trouble?"

Chenxing secretly stuck out his tongue, "Are you really planning to let Jianqing take his father away?"

"Freeloading, why should I support someone useless?" Gu Shaocheng put on his sunglasses, "Tell them never to appear in my world again, the farther away, the better!"

Chenxing nodded emphatically, "Yes, honey, actually I think it’s best to let past grievances be in the past. Let’s live our own lives well and not let these irrelevant people affect our mood and life. I always believe that goodness begets good, and evil begets evil. You see, we’re good people, so heaven helps us, allowing us to reunite, know each other, love each other, and stay together. I believe we’re all favorites of God."

"Are you talking about love sparked by a WeChat message?" Gu Shaocheng smiled warmly.

Chenxing recalled the past, "If we hadn’t randomly sent WeChat messages back then, would we have met in this life?"

"We would have," Gu Shaocheng replied with absolute certainty.

Chenxing pondered, "Really?"

"Yes," the tone growing even more resolute.

Chenxing felt warmth in his heart, crinkled his brow, and giggled, "I think so too. Heaven always finds a way for destined lovers to enter each other’s world, from meeting to knowing, from knowing to courting, from courting to loving, from loving to staying together, even if they must go through profound suspicion and separation in between, their hearts will only grow closer."

In the early spring waters rise, the spring woods bloom, and the spring breeze spans ten miles, none can compare to you.

No matter what, I believe that in this life, I will meet you, be your marrow and blood, heart and soul!

.............................................

This is the small villa in the sanatorium, their warmest home during the most difficult times.

At this moment, the entire courtyard is dotted with tiny lights arranged by Gu Shaocheng, without the aid of anyone else as he took off his coat and worked with his own hands.

Chenxing, wearing an apron, happily busied herself alone in the kitchen. It seemed as if time had returned to a few years ago when she would busy herself alone in the kitchen like this.
