Lin Qingwan was so shocked that she didn’t know what to say. She blocked the door and didn’t let anyone in.

Su Yunxiu wiped her hands and came out of the kitchen. “You’re here!”

There was no surprise in her eyes. Besides, this house had just been rented today. Unless Su Yunxiu took the initiative to inform him, Yu Wenci would never know the address.

Su Yunxiu walked over with a smile. For a moment, Lin Qingwan seemed to have witnessed the warm scene of a husband coming home from work and his wife coming out to welcome him and found them inexplicably quite compatible.

When did these two become so familiar with each other?

Moreover, the moment Su Yunxiu arrived, Yu Wenci’s gaze did not move away. Lin Qingwan suddenly felt that she was unnecessary. She even had a ridiculous feeling that she should not have come tonight.

Su Yunxiu invited him in and noticed the things in his hand. “Why did you buy something?”

She had invited him to dinner, but he had brought something.

Not only that, but this person had also changed his clothes. Her nose twitched slightly as if she could smell the fragrance on his body.

“The last time we ate, I saw that you liked to drink coconut juice. This brand’s coconut juice tastes quite good. It is low in calories and healthy. It suits you.”

Su Yunxiu raised her eyebrows in surprise. He even noticed this.

Previously, when she went out to eat with Xu Mu, he did not notice this. He thought that girls liked to drink soda and always ordered soda for her. In fact, she did not like to drink it at all.

She did not expect Yu Wenci to remember everything after only having dinner with him once.

Those who wanted to know more would be noticed without being taught. When he was in the cafeteria at the university, he noticed that Su Yunxiu only loved coconut water.

“Thank you” Su Yunxiu thanked him and asked: “Oh right, we’re having hotpot tonight, do you have anything you don’t like?”

“No.”

“Okay.”

Su Yunxiu continued to work in the kitchen while Yu Wenci rolled up his sleeves to help.

Lin Qingwan, who was silently following behind him, suddenly stopped in her tracks. Once again, she felt that she was unnecessary. Should she still go in? In the end, Lin Qingwan, who wanted to live, did not go in.

Su Yunxiu naturally wouldn’t let him do it. How could she let a guest do it?

“I’ll do it. Go sit outside for a while.”

“Wouldn’t it be faster if I helped you?”

“But… you’re a guest.”

Yu Wenci looked at her with a gentle expression. “Am I just a guest in your heart?”

Su Yunxiu was stunned: “Friends?”

She didn’t know if he was satisfied with this answer.

Yu Wenci bent down and slowly approached her. The atmosphere in the small kitchen changed. His eyes were deep and dark as he placed one hand on the counter.

As the man approached, Su Yunxiu subconsciously leaned back and pressed her waist against the glass platform. Fortunately, she was more flexible, or she would have hurt her waist.

The air gradually thinned. Su Yunxiu’s eyelashes trembled slightly, and she had nowhere to put her hands.

What was wrong with him? He was so close to her.

The sound of a plastic bag rang in her ears. Yu Wenci took out a bottle of coconut juice from behind her. He stood up and didn’t forget to ask her, “I’m just taking something. Why is your face so red?”

“Nothing.”

As she spoke, she turned around and started washing the vegetables with a vexed expression.

Why was her face so disappointing in revealing her emotions?

Yu Wenci chuckled and replied, “Since we’re friends, it’s only right for us to help. Do you want to drink?”

“Okay.”

Su Yunxiu was about to raise her hand to take it when Yu Wenci naturally brought it to her mouth. His serious attitude clearly meant that he wanted to feed her.

The latter’s mind went blank again.

Yu Wenci knew that she was easily embarrassed, so he stopped teasing her. “Forget it, take it yourself.”

Su Yunxiu reached for it with her wet hand. In her panic, she accidentally touched the man’s slightly cold hand. An electric shock swept through her entire body, and her hand trembled.

Yu Wenci held the bottom of the bottle to stabilize it as it swayed slightly.

“Be careful.”

“Thank you.”

She took a big gulp of coconut juice and suppressed the heat on her face. She was full of energy as if she had been revived.

The downside of being too energetic was probably…

Su Yunxiu didn’t pay attention to the water under her feet. Coupled with the fact that her newly bought slippers weren’t anti-slip, she stumbled forward.

Caught off guard, her palm touched a hard and warm place.

They were relatively close to each other, and Yu Wenci was caught off guard. There was no romantic scene of them spinning in circles like in idol dramas.

A second later, the man looked down at the hand on his abdominal muscles. His joints were well-proportioned, his skin was fair, and his other hand was also grabbed by her. He chuckled. “Miss Su, are you taking advantage of me?”

Su Yunxiu’s eyes widened in shock.

How did she know that she would die of embarrassment so easily?

It was even more awkward than accidentally touching him just now.

Yu Wenci said calmly, “Twice in a row. Can I consider charging?”

His words pulled her back to reality. Like a spring, the girl quickly retracted her hand behind her back. The hand that touched his abs was still warm.

Su Yunxiu’s face was red as blood as she nervously looked around. She quickly lowered her head and obediently apologized, “Sorry, I didn’t do it on purpose. These shoes aren’t anti-slip.”

Who knew that these shoes were not anti-slip? She swore to buy anti-slip shoes tomorrow!

“I’m fine.” The man didn’t mind and seemed to be in a good mood.

Su Yunxiu quietly moved to the side and put some distance between them. She was afraid that something would happen again if she was not careful. At that time, she would not be able to explain herself.

After Yu Wenci noticed it, he raised his eyebrows slightly. After a few minutes, seeing the young lady’s focused and serious expression, he quietly took a step toward her.

Facing the person he liked, he could not help but want to get close to her. This scene was something he had never dared to dream of before, but now, it had come true.

Meanwhile, Lin Qingwan, who was secretly observing from outside from time to time, took in the scene of him pouncing over.

Lin Qingwan wanted to take a few more glances, but it was as if the man had eyes on the back of his head.

Lin Qingwan immediately pretended not to see anything. She turned around and sat on the sofa, looking down at her phone.

People in the business world said that Yu Wenci was gentle and polite, but not easy to get close to. At this moment, he looked like he wanted to stick close to Su Yunxiu. Where was his sense of distance?

After six o’clock, the hotpot could finally be eaten.

With the coconut juice to relieve the spiciness, the three of them ate hotpot in a harmonious atmosphere.

Lin Qingwan paid more attention to Yu Wenci as she ate. She wanted to see what he would do.

Yu Wenci thought that his performance was not bad, and no one could sense anything amiss.

Unfortunately, in the end, Lin Qingwan still noticed something. Yu Wenci’s gaze was too gentle. It was different from usual. If even a young girl like Yu Zitong could tell, she was naturally not blind. She firmly believed that something was up, but she didn’t have the guts to ask.

“Try this. Dip it in my secret sauce. It should taste good.”

Su Yunxiu picked up a piece of meat for Lin Qingwan.

Lin Qingwan recalled the murderous look in a certain someone’s eyes when she sat on the sofa. Now that Su Yunxiu was here, she didn’t cower. She looked at the man opposite her provocatively and slowly picked up the meat in a flaunting manner. She savored it carefully and didn’t forget to sigh.

“It’s so delicious. Since this was what Xiuxiu baby picked up, it tastes even better.”

Yu Wenci was speechless.
