Reborn and awakened, this time I won't be a love-struck fool.

Xu Jingwang fell silent again.

My heart felt ice-cold, as if I had swallowed a whole bucket of ice cubes; my teeth, throat, esophagus, and stomach were all chilly.

The owner handed over a plate of grilled cold noodles with a smile.

Lin Wu took it, took a bite, frowned, and only said after walking away, "It's not very tasty."

The people around me were very quiet, not saying a word.

Lin Wu looked up at him curiously. "Why aren't you saying anything?"

Xu Jingwang: "I don't know what to say."

Lin Wu sighed, "I understand, our feelings for each other have faded."

Xu Jingwang: "...What do you mean our feelings have faded?"

"Friendship." Lin Wu pondered for a moment, "You could also say revolutionary camaraderie."

Xu Jingwang: "…………"

He slowly exhaled. "Never mind, I'm going home."

Lin Wu shoved the grilled cold noodles into his hand, "It tastes awful, you eat it."

Xu Jingwang's already chilling heart turned even colder after hearing those words.

The disease has reached its terminal stage and is incurable; a death sentence has been handed down.

Sanchu is very close to their current residential area, only about a ten-minute walk away.

Upon entering the residential compound, Xu Jingwang casually tossed his trash into the bin at the entrance.

Lin Wu asked in surprise, "Did you finish it all?"

Xu Jingwang was taken aback. "Yes."

Lin Wu's gaze gradually turned to awe as she looked at him. "You can eat such disgusting food cleanly? Wang Wang, I still don't know you well enough."

Xu Jingwang: "..."

He was preoccupied with something and didn't taste anything at all.

Lin Wu entered the courtyard and stared at Lin Xun.

"What are you doing?" Lin Wu asked, looking puzzled.

Lin Xun said indignantly, "My mother made me stand here as punishment."

Lin Wu chuckled, "Did you make Mom angry again?"

"I just don't want to do my homework." Lin Xun sighed, looking as if he had aged more than ten years. "This new Chinese teacher is too much. She always assigns a ton of homework, and my hand is sore from writing it."

Lin Wu paused for a moment, then said with schadenfreude, "How pitiful, Xunxun, how can you be so pitiful?"

As she spoke, she raised her hand, wanting to pat Lin Xun's head.

The moment she touched her soft hair, the rebellious elementary school student abruptly turned his head away, refusing to let her touch him. "You're making fun of me, you're not allowed to touch me."

"Fine, I won't touch it then," Lin Wu scoffed. "Your head isn't made of gold."

Lin Xun glared at her angrily, "You touched me on your own initiative!"

"oh."

Lin Wuyun replied casually, "I didn't wash my hands after using the toilet, so I wanted to use your hair to wipe them."

Lin Xun: "…………"

His face turned red with anger. "I'm going to tell Dad!"

He dashed inside, entering the living room before Lin Wu.

Lin Chuanqiong rarely leaves work early, so he sits with Ms. Jiang on the sofa to watch the TV series she's currently watching.

Hearing Lin Xun run in, Ms. Jiang said, "You've figured it out? You're willing to do your homework now?"

Lin Xun stopped, raised his hand and scratched his nose. "Not really."

Jiang Fanxing waved her hand, "Then don't come back, continue standing as punishment."

Lin Xun: "..."

He blinked, ran to Lin Chuanqiong's side, and complained pitifully, "Daddy... Sister bullied me..."

"Hey, your sister's back?"

Lin Chuanqiong's tone became noticeably more assertive.

Lin Xun: "?"

Just then, Lin Wu came in to change her shoes.

Lin Chuanqiong waved cheerfully to Lin Wu, "Daughter, come here quickly."

Lin Xun: "??"

"What's wrong?"

Lin Wu asked as she walked over.

"Tell Dad what you did at school today. Did anything interesting happen?" Lin Chuanqiong asked gently.

Before Lin Wu could speak, Lin Xun slammed his hand on the sofa armrest. "I said, Lin Wu bullied me!!!"

"Tsk."

Lin Chuanqiong frowned. "How many times have I told you? You have to call me 'sister,' not just call me by my name. It's impolite."

Lin Xun was trembling with anger: "…………"

Lin Wu patted his shoulder with a smile, "Xiao Bao, go back to standing outside as punishment."

"eccentric."

Lin Xun said fiercely, "You just wait."

After saying that, he turned his head and left without any hesitation.

The three people on the sofa ignored him. After he left, Lin Chuanqiong stared at his daughter for a few more moments and asked, "Wuwu, were you happy at school today?"

"You're acting strange today?" Lin Wu noticed something was wrong.

Lin Chuanqiong said, "Isn't this just me being concerned about you?"

Lin Wu waved her hand, "Come on, I've never seen you care before. It's really weird that you're showing concern now."

She thought for a moment, "Did my homeroom teacher call you?"

Hearing this, Lin Chuanqiong was taken aback. Jiang Fanxing suddenly sat up and said, "Did you get into trouble at school again?"

No.

Lin Wu quickly dispelled Ms. Jiang's doubts, saying, "I just thought Dad was acting a bit strange."

"Don't worry about him," Jiang Fanxing said. "Xiao Si's homeroom teacher called him today and said that a girl had been sending him love letters for a month. Her father found out and came to the school and scolded Xiao Si. Your dad is terrified because he's worried you're dating too early."

No, it won't.

Lin Wu smiled and said, "I don't have anyone I like. My ideal type is hard to find."

Lin Chuanqiong was startled. "Who is your ideal type?"

Jiang Fanxing picked up the remote control, paused the TV series, and watched it as well.

Lin Wu said decisively, "My ideal type is the Monkey King."

“…………”

Lin Chuanqiong and Jiang Fanxing were silent for a while.

Lin Chuanqiong waved his hand, "Go back and take a shower."

"Okay." Lin Wu reassured him again, "Dad, don't worry, I really won't date early. I'm with Wangwang every day, and most boys run away when they see him."

"That's true," Lin Chuanqiong replied.

After Lin Wu left, he leaned back on the sofa, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "You're right, I was worrying unnecessarily. Our daughter hasn't figured things out yet."

"Yeah." Jiang Fanxing patted his leg and said, "You're just too nervous. Your daughter has been spoiled since she was little. She wouldn't be interested in most guys, especially since the boys she grew up with are all outstanding. Her standards must be very high."

"That makes sense, that makes sense."

Lin Chuanqiong murmured, "Although Song Zhi and I are like oil and water, I never expected that our children would get along so well. However, his son is indeed somewhat useful now; at least most men don't dare to get close to Wuwu."

Jiang Fanxing hesitated, then stopped herself from speaking: "..."

She didn't quite understand why he felt more at ease knowing his daughter had a childhood sweetheart.

Isn't that more dangerous?

They can now directly eat the grass near their nest.

She held back and didn't say anything.

After all, she had a pretty good impression of the Song family's child.
