When Shen Xiaoxuan saw Shu Shu, she hugged her and cried tears of joy, "Ling Qiao told me that you're back. If I didn't know that he wouldn't joke around with me, I would've really wanted to beat him up. Shu Shu, you must have suffered a lot, it's good that you're back."

Shu Shu hugged Shen Xiaoxuan, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

After sitting and chatting for a long time, Shen Xiaoxuan told many interesting stories about her student days. Once, when she was dozing off on a bus, a thief had grabbed her purse. Fortunately, she immediately noticed that she had chased after the thief for three streets when she got off the bus, and eventually, the thief threw his wallet on the ground when he couldn't run anymore. When she thought about it later, she felt a little scared. If she lost her life because of the few dozen yuan in her purse, it really wouldn't be worth it.

Also, in high school, there was a guy who liked her who always bullied her and picked a fight with her. Once, when she came home from school, that guy blocked her path and she ruthlessly beat him up. Later on, the male parent came to find her to interrogate her. What was laughable was that the male parent stood up at this moment and said that it was because he liked her that he came to look for her again and again. ShuShu later told Shen Xiaoxuan that she actually quite liked that guy as well. However, she didn't like him the first time he bullied her, because she hated these types of boys who don't always look the same. If you like them, you like them; if you don't like them, you don't like them.

There was also one time when the funniest joke was the incident when Shu Shu secretly told Shen Xiaoxuan about the shameful events of her childhood. When she first came to the aunt, she didn't understand, so she thought that something was wrong. She changed her underwear very diligently, and in the end, even changed her mother's underwear all over again. In the future, every single time she spoke of it, she would find it hilarious and embarrassing.

"ShuShu, you used to be just a weirdo. There are so many other things that you can't hold back."

"This is too embarrassing, I don't have anything positive to say at all?" Seeing that Ling Qiao was grinning from ear to ear, she immediately blushed, "Don't laugh. Little Xuan, you must have made it up yourself."

"I don't have that many things to make up. Let me think about it a bit more. There's something even funnier."

ShuShu hurriedly stopped him. "Ai, stop it. Just tell me from now on."

"Alright, alright. If you don't want to say embarrassing things, then say something positive."

When it came to finding a job, every student in the news department was eager to enter the wireless television station. ShuShu did not have any background and it was not her turn at all, but her grades were excellent enough to get her an internship. Back then, it was really hard for her to do it. She stayed up late every night writing a script, and often did it until midnight before she fell asleep. No one praised her for doing it, but if she couldn't do it well, she would be criticized by others. Luckily, the television station managed to keep her. It was Chen Yuan who tried her best to protect her.

"So I used to be a journalist."

"Yes, but you can't write gossip, so you were eliminated. Hahahaha." Shen Xiaoxuan was joking. Now, all the stories about her feelings could be printed into a book.

Ling Qiao hurriedly corrected, "Don't listen to her nonsense. When the pressure from the reporters is too great, it would be hard to stop them. Moreover, when the news of our wedding spread, it would be awkward for you to stay at the television station, so you quit." Shen Little Xuan, she can't even remember these things, stop joking around. "

Shen Xiaoxuan said, "I know, Shu, look at how much he cherishes you. During the time you went missing, he seemed to have lost his soul. Even if I saw him, I couldn't bear to do it."

Shu gave Ling Qiao a meaningful glance. Ling Qiao's eyes were filled with tenderness as he said, "The past is over. Let's not talk about it anymore. How nice it is now."

The meal lasted from 6: 00 until 11: 00 PM. It was only when Little Fatty called to remind Shen Xiaoxuan that tomorrow would be the official start of work did she give up.

On the way home, Ling Qiao slowly drove. Even in the middle of the night, T City was still brightly lit. "Are you familiar with this place?"

Leaning against the window, Shu Shu lightly said, "I can't say I'm familiar with her. I feel that it's about the same even at night."

"We used to walk this route often. This is the most bustling commercial street. All the stores are open 24 hours a day. I'll bring you around one day."

"Sure."

There was a barbecue stall at the entrance of the alleyway. Ling Qiao suddenly asked on a whim, "Do you want some barbecue?"

Shu Shu licked her lips. "She looks pretty good."

"I knew you liked it. You always said you wanted to eat it. Wait, I'll stop the car."

Fortunately, he had slept soundly in the morning, so he was not sleepy now. Shu Shu found a seat to sit down and Ling Qiao went to ask the owner for some food, "Twenty skewers of meat skewers and tendons, ten chicken wings and two bottles of beer, please."

T City was much warmer than Hokkaido. Spring was already blooming at the end of March, and the barbecue stands were not the busiest time yet.

ShuShu looked very excited. Her mind was filled with thoughts of what to do today. It was too satisfying to have a midnight snack after dinner.

"Did I ever love meat?"

"Mm. You're simply unhappy without meat. But no matter how much you eat, you won't get fat. You're depressed."

"Hehe, those who can't be slim will always be in turmoil. Those who can't eat are fearless."

Ling Qiao couldn't help but laugh, "When have you heard of this before?"

"I remembered the words that were stuck on the wall of the restaurant."

"Yes, you can be confident."

Soon, the roast meat was served. She had always been careful to eat non-seafood Japanese cuisine, but now, she felt free and comfortable. This was her life, and this was where she came from.

Although the weather had turned warm, it was still a bit cold at night. The owner of the eatery was roasting meat bare-chested, with a layer of red and black skin covering his arms and neck. However, his round belly was white.

The Lady Boss wore more clothes, passing water from tray to tray at the top of each seat. The Lady Boss's complexion was no better than the Boss'. Her face seemed to be covered with a layer of grey Qi, but her spirit was extremely good. Anyone who saw her would smile, revealing a mouthful of white and neat teeth.

This woman must have been a beauty when she was young, Shu thought, but she had been doing business with her husband day in and day out, gradually concealing her beauty.

She suddenly spoke with emotion, "Ling Qiao, if we were just an ordinary couple, and you were just a monthly salary paid office worker, wouldn't our lives be much more peaceful?"

Ling Qiao looked in the direction of Shu Shu's gaze. He saw that the Lady Boss was wiping off the sweat of the barbecue shop owner with a tissue and patting him on his belly. The two of them were talking and laughing.

There are some things that we can't choose, like when I was born. As soon as I was born, Grandmother and Father placed all their hopes on me, and I couldn't escape, but we can choose what kind of life we live, and what kind of attitude we can choose to live outside. Shu Shu, my feelings for you have always been very simple.

"Is that so?"

"Of course, you just need to remember that we are one."

At this moment, the Lady Boss brought over a plate of chicken wings. "Ten kebabs. All of you are here. Enjoy yourself."

Yes, life was like eating barbecue. Choosing the right taste was a form of enjoyment, not a form of self-abuse.

Ling Qiao said, "Shu Shu, let's start over. It's fine if we don't remember the past, but if we're happy, then we'll have to forget about it in the future."

"Is this what you meant by renewed pursuit? You want to bribe me with a piece of roasted meat?

"That's true. How can you be convinced just by roasting meat? Fine, since I've already tried it today, if it doesn't work once more, then I will continue to work hard tomorrow." He held out his wrist and looked at his watch. "Wow, it's just after twelve," he said brazenly as he leaned over. "Shu-Shu, let's start again."

Shu Shu pursed her lips into a smile as she said, "No, I have to test you a bit more. Do you know how to eat spicy food?"

Ling Qiao took a deep breath, snapped his fingers, and said, "Lady Boss, please order some pepper."

He did not eat spicy food often, so he could only eat slightly spicy meat. Looking at the fiery-red meat skewers, he was a little scared, "If the test only tasted spicy food, how simple would that be?" After saying that, he picked up the skewer and stuffed it into his mouth. How spicy, he was about to spew fire.

Shu Shu was grinning from ear to ear. "Enough, enough. Drink your beer quickly. I'm just asking you if you really want to eat."

Ling Qiao frowned. "It's not a test?"

"Idiot, no!"

"…"

It was already the latter half of the night when he returned home. Ling Qiao gulped down a lot of water, feeling as if her stomach was burning. Ever since her stomach was pierced through and underwent surgery, he had been doing very well under Hu Xin's instructions.

"What's wrong?" Shu Shu felt a little bit worried. Judging from his expression, he didn't look too good.

"It's nothing, it's nothing. My stomach feels a bit uncomfortable. It's a small matter."

"Oh no, you have a stomach problem. You can't eat spicy food."

"How do you know?" I didn't tell you that. "

Shu Shu could not answer. "I just know …"

Ling Qiao smiled, "Look at your amnesia and remember that I have a stomachache. See how much you miss me. Little madam, it's best that you agree to my request."

Shu Shu pushed him away. "Go, go. It's too easy for you, mm …"

Ling Qiao had not even finished speaking when his mouth was stopped by a kiss from Ling Qiao. He said sinisterly: "Then give it a kiss. Otherwise, wouldn't I have eaten so many spicy dishes for nothing?" His long hands reached behind her back and gently stroked her back. He kissed her forehead, kissed her neck, but did not kiss her lips.

Shu Shu wanted to kiss him back, but he turned her head away and said, "Darling, don't kiss me on the mouth, or I'll …"

Just as Shu Shu's mouth landed on his lips, Ling Qiao gave a low growl as he pulled her into his embrace and placed her on the sofa. Then, his boiling hot body fell over.

Ling Qiao's breathing became heavier, his large palms moving unrestrainedly in all directions. The tip of his sweet and persistent tongue slipped into her mouth, entangling itself affectionately.

Shu Shu slightly opened her eyes and looked at Ling Qiao. Feng Qingyue's bright face was filled with crimson desire. She pushed him and said, "I still haven't agreed, yet you're already acting like a hooligan."
