After seeing the emotion color, they all turned pink.

"Come early tomorrow too, don't forget."

After school in the afternoon, as Xu Chuan was packing up his desk to leave, Li Jiaxin gave him a reminder.

Then, she leaned closer, her face all smiles, and said, "Could you bring me another basket of steamed dumplings tomorrow?"

"That's all. I'm going to sleep in tomorrow. Miss Liu won't be here until 6:30, so I'll sleep a little longer too."

Sufficient sleep is essential, a conclusion Xu Chuan reached after using [Focus Blue] multiple times.

Only when he is in high spirits can he unleash his true strength.

However, the relaxed state that is forcibly maintained by using light blue cannot achieve that effect.

"Oh dear, in that case I'll have to talk to Princess Xixi and ask her to come and ask you to bring another cage..."

Li Jiaxin grinned, "Xu Chuan, you don't want to lower Princess Xixi's current level of affection for you, do you?"

"Ha ha……"

Xu Chuan picked up his schoolbag and couldn't help but chuckle. "Princess Xixi... that is, King Gigi has arrived. I'm going to sleep in tomorrow too."

"You you you you..."

The teacher of the last class in Class 8 today did not extend the class time. When Xu Chuan left the teaching building, there were not many people at the school gate, and there was no congestion at all.

I easily boarded the bus home.

Xu Chuan: [I'm out of school]

Little Star: [Smiling]

Little Star: [I'm starting to cook now, Xu Chuan, I bought chicken! (Smiling)]

The two of them discussed it during their afternoon chat, and since they were studying at home in the evening, they decided not to go out to buy food.

Xu Wanxing still felt guilty because the last time Xu Chuan came to her house, it was Xu Chuan who cooked the meal.

So, she wanted Xu Chuan to come to her house tonight so she could cook for him, and afterwards they could discuss some questions from the question bank...

Xu Chuan: [OK]

Xu Chuan: [Trust Chef Xu (thumbs up)]

Little Star: [Smiling]

After arriving at Qinghe Community, Xu Chuan didn't go directly to Xu Wanxing's house. Instead, he went to a small supermarket first and bought a large bottle of juice to take with him.

It's quite formal. Speaking of which, our last visit to Xu Wanxing's house was really abrupt. Nobody was prepared; we were like uninvited guests.

But today is different. We've discussed and prepared in advance, so we must treat our guests with the utmost hospitality.

"Thump, thump..."

In front of apartment 402 in building 3, Xu Chuan knocked on the door and called out, "Xiao Xu."

Even through the security door, Xu Chuan could hear hurried footsteps, sizzling spatulas, and splattering oil inside the room.

"Squeak—"

The doorknob turned, the door opened, and Xu Wanxing, with her hair tied in a gentle low ponytail, appeared. This was the first time Xu Chuan had seen her with this hairstyle.

And perhaps because she had just taken a shower, the fluttering of the curtain and the rich, fragrant milky scent of her shower gel almost made Xu Chuanxiang dizzy.

It's just a pity it's not the Pajama Star...

"It smells so good..."

Xu Chuan walked into the house and sniffed again.

This time he was referring to the aroma of the food. Based on Xu Chuan's years of culinary skills, Xu Wanxing's dish should be braised chicken with potatoes and stir-fried eggs with green peppers.

"It'll be ready soon."

With a few steps remaining, Xu Wanxing brought Xu Chuan in and then hurriedly ran into the kitchen.

Xu Chuan suddenly noticed a huge change.

A table had been added to Xu Wanxing's living room—a folding metal square table, and it wasn't small either.

"When did you buy this table?" Xu Chuan asked, leaning against the kitchen door.

"I bought it at the furniture market near the entrance of my community this afternoon..."

"Do they deliver it to my home?" Xu Chuan asked.

Hearing this, Xu Wanxing seemed a little puzzled, then shook her head.

"So, you brought this back yourself..."

"Um."

"This...it's so heavy! You can actually buy these online; they're cheaper and delivered to your door, at least to your building..."

Xu Wanxing's food was almost cooked. She blinked, turned her head to look at Xu Chuan in front of the door, and her voice became soft again.

"But you came right after school this afternoon... It's too late to buy it online..."

Seeing that Xu Chuan's expression seemed to have changed, she raised her voice slightly and continued.

"It's okay. I'll move it for a while, then rest for a while. It's not tiring. And I can take a shower as soon as I get back and it's all set up..."

So, was this table bought for him?

Suddenly, an image flashed into his mind: Xu Wanxing, under the blazing midday sun, tilting her head and struggling to carry a large metal folding table, inching her way home.

She still lives on the fourth floor...

Xu Chuan suddenly felt a lump in his throat. After letting out a soft sigh, he stepped forward and gently patted Xu Wanxing's head.

"Why are you so pitiful?"

The girl's freshly washed and dried hair was fluffy and smooth, and felt particularly pleasant to touch, but Xu Chuan didn't feel that same comfort.

Because, in his field of vision, even if Xu Wanxing were to turn her head and look at him with a smile,

The outline of her emotions remained like a pool of dark water, with a few scattered colors that Chuan had added to her before, flowing slowly.

"Xu Chuan, let's eat." Xu Wanxing's voice was soft, and contained a cautious expectation.

At that moment, a somewhat childish, heroic thought finally surfaced from a hidden corner of Xu Chuan's heart.

I have to save her.

This voice resonated deeply within him, like a drumbeat, a flag, and a monument.

Seeing the delighted look on Xu Wanxing's face, she pursed her lips, picked up the plate, bent down to rummage through the refrigerator, and busied herself between the kitchen and the living room.

The black outline, like that of a game character, sketches her silhouette.

Xu Chuan didn't know if he could erase the darkness from the edge of the little star's light after doing his best.

But at the very least, I want her to be happy.
