Feeling exhausted from crying, she lay her head on his shoulder and fell asleep. Jiang Shiyu held her tightly in his arms, feeling an overwhelming sense of satisfaction.
When Yun woke up, it was already past five in the afternoon. She opened the curtains, stretched lazily, took a quick shower, and dressed in a long-sleeved pink floral pajama before heading to the living room.
Jiang Shiyu was busy cooking in the kitchen. Watching his back brought her a sense of peace. She wrapped her arms around his waist, resting her cheek against his broad and sturdy back, closing her eyes to feel his warmth.
After covering the pot, Jiang Shiyu turned around to embrace her, leaning down to kiss the top of her head. "You're awake; it's time to eat."
It was only when she caught a whiff of the delicious aroma that she realized how hungry she was. She glanced at the pot—what was cooking? It smelled wonderful.
"Tofu Soup," he replied.
Yun looked at the other dishes on the stove, salivating at the sight. Noticing her eagerness, Jiang Shiyu picked up a pair of chopsticks and offered her a piece of braised pork rib.
The ribs were tender and easily fell off the bone. Yun smiled as she took a bite; the flavor was rich but not overly salty, and the meat was juicy and fragrant.
As she chewed, Jiang Shiyu turned the bone for her so she could bite into the other side effortlessly. With a bit of crispy skin and lean meat, Yun savored it before glancing at the garlic shrimp, which also looked quite appetizing.
"Let me peel that for you," she teased playfully, giving him a mock glare that made her look adorable.
While eating, she wrapped her arms around his slim waist. Jiang Shiyu gently rubbed her head and asked with a smile, "Why are you so clingy today?"
Yun looked up and kissed his chin. "I just want to be with you."
Jiang Shiyu smiled indulgently and then lifted her chin to plant a kiss on her lips. They remained close until they finished their meal.
Half an hour later, after they had eaten, Jiang Shiyu brought over some medicine. As Yun was working on her homework, she caught a whiff of the medicinal scent and frowned, putting down her pen to cover her mouth and nose with both hands.
"I’m not feeling bad anymore. Can I skip the drink?" The lack of enthusiasm, tone, and voice was evident.
Jiang Shiyu raised an eyebrow, crouched down, and pulled out a lychee-flavored lollipop. "Finish this, and I’ll give you some candy."
Yun grimaced, holding her breath as she swallowed the medicine. Her face turned bright red, and Jiang Shiyu chuckled as she tore open the candy wrapper and handed it to her. As Yun tasted the candy, her tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed.
With Jiang Shiyu's birthday approaching, Yun had prepared a customized fountain pen. The salesperson handed her the Black and Gold Fountain Pen wrapped in elegant packaging.
As Yun exited the mall with the black gift box in hand, she bumped into Zheng Yating, who was out shopping with some friends. Zheng Yating wore a chic black-and-white checkered skirt paired with stylish British-style shoes, her long legs straight and graceful.
Yun considered pretending not to recognize Zheng Yating but found herself stopping her instead, squinting playfully. "Hey, it’s been a while!"
Zheng Yating had been spending less time in the dorm lately, making their encounters even rarer. "It really has been a long time," she replied with a smile.
Yun curved her lips politely in response. Zheng Yating exchanged a few words with a girl beside her before turning back to Yun. "Want to grab a coffee? It’s on me." With that, she started heading toward the café.
Inside the coffee shop, Zheng Yating wore an expression of inexplicable amusement. "I didn’t expect you two to last this long together."
Yun sat there composedly as the server brought over their coffees. She thanked him softly; her tone was gentle and cool yet not unapproachable—she was the kind of girl that people naturally warmed up to.
"I’m not as stubborn as you think. After all this time, I’ve let go; I just have a bit of resentment left," Zheng Yating said.
Yun was puzzled; from what she knew, Jiang Shiyu had always ended her relationships decisively and had never mistreated anyone during them.
Seeing Yun's confused expression made Zheng Yating realize that she still didn’t understand. "Do you know why I had such a messy fallout with him back then?"
