I was about to leave when I suddenly noticed Wang Zhan standing by the door. He seemed to have not rested well, with faint dark circles under his eyes. I looked at him calmly and asked, "What are you doing here?" He pressed his lips together and said softly, "Jiang Wan, can you not move away?" His voice was a bit hoarse. I couldn't describe how I felt at that moment. Wang Zhan was actually speaking to me in such a low tone? This was the first time for him. 0
 
Xu Zheng and I had moved into our new home. After a whole day of work, we finally settled everything. We both collapsed onto the sofa, completely exhausted. I had no strength left. "Are you hungry?" I turned to ask him. He replied softly, "Yes." "Shall we order takeout?" "Okay." Just as I took out my phone, Xu Zheng pulled me up. "Let's go." "Where to?" "To my place." "Huh?" "I'll cook you Pasta." I was taken aback. Xu Zheng laughed and said, "Now we're neighbors; there will be more conveniences in the future." "What conveniences?" I pretended not to understand. He smiled even more happily. "Guess." "I can't guess." "Then I'll tell you later." 0
 
A few days later, Yuan Yuan called me. "Is Xu Zheng treating you well?" "Yes." 0
 
 
"That's good." 0
"What's wrong?" 0
"Nothing, I just wanted to remind you." 0
"Remind me of what?" 0
"To be careful of him." 0
"Why?" 0
"His previous relationships didn't go well." 0
"Really?" 0
"Yes, he had two girlfriends before, and both ended without success." 0
"Why?" 0
"He said he has a skeptical attitude towards relationships." 0
"What about now?" 0
"Now?" 0
Yuan Yuan smiled lightly. 0
"Now, he is also skeptical about you." 0
I fell silent. 0
"So, don't get too deep into it." 0
"I know." 0
I don't care about Xu Zheng's past. 0
I just want to know if he is good to me now. 0
As long as he is sincere with me, I am willing to be with him, no matter the outcome. 0
I started to seriously observe Xu Zheng's tastes and preferences. 0
When he got off work, I prepared a table full of dishes he loves. 0
When he returned home and saw the food on the table, he seemed a bit stunned. 0
He sat down silently and ate every bite cleanly. 0
I asked him, "Is it to your taste?" 0
He nodded, "Yes, it is." 0
"You haven't had such satisfying food in a long time, have you?" 0
"Mm." 0
"Why aren't you talking?" 0
"It's nothing." 0
He shook his head. 0
Xu Zheng dedicated all his spare time to me. 0
 
 
He accompanied me to watch movies, play games, stroll through the night market, and go to the gym. I could feel that he was seriously dating me too. But it seemed like there was always something separating us. That night, Xu Zheng didn’t come back and didn’t reply to my messages. I was a bit worried and cooked a bowl of dumplings for him. When he returned, it was already one in the morning. He was surprised to see me waiting for him in the living room: "You haven't slept?" "No." "Why didn't you go to bed earlier?" "I was a bit worried since you didn't reply to my messages." "Sorry, I was in an emergency surgery and didn’t have time to check my phone." "Have you eaten?" "No." "I made dumplings for you; please eat some." "Okay." He sat down and started eating slowly. I didn’t know why, but I always felt that his complexion wasn’t very good. "What’s wrong with you?" "Nothing." "Are the dumplings not to your taste?" "No." "Then what’s wrong?" He looked up and gazed deeply at me. 0
