Chen Mu's place was much better than Lin Su had imagined. Although the location was quite remote, it was a single room, perfect for one person.

The room wasn't big; the first thing you saw was a 1.5-meter-wide bed, a cabinet, and a desk—that wasn't much furniture, but thankfully it was very tidy.

The room was heated, and Lin Su took off her mask and hat. She was wondering where to put them when Chen Mu took them and casually placed them on the table next to her.

There was only one stool in the room. He pulled it in front of Lin Su and said, "Sit down and let's talk."

Lin Su sat down and took off the scarf around her neck, handing it to him. Chen Mu took it, folded it, and placed it on the table behind him.

He turned around and looked at Lin Su, who was sitting obediently with her legs together. She seemed to have gained a little weight, with a bit more flesh on her face, but she was still very thin.

"Why aren't you saying anything?" Chen Mu asked her earlier, but she hesitated and stammered, so he took her home.

"I... broke up with him," Lin Su said, looking up at him after a moment's hesitation.

"Who suggested it?" Chen Mu frowned. It couldn't have been Lin Su who suggested it, but that man must like her quite a bit.

"Nobody mentioned it, it's just..." Lin Su whispered about how Zong Yan's family wouldn't let them be together after he lost his memory in the car accident.

After listening, Chen Mu remained silent for a long time before asking, "Where do you live now?"

"I'm still living in Zongyan's house, but I'll have to return it to him in a few days." Lin Su said in a very soft voice, and then glanced at him cautiously after she finished speaking.

Chen Mu looked up at his room, which stretched out from one end to the other, then looked down into Lin Su's clear eyes. "If you don't have anywhere to stay, come stay here for a while."

"Is it alright?" Lin Su asked softly, "Wouldn't that be too much trouble for you?"

"No trouble at all." After making his decision, Chen Mu immediately said, "Let's go, I'll take you to pack your luggage, let's move out today."

Lin Su quickly shook her head, "No need, I can go by myself."

Chen Mu: "Is there a lot of stuff?"

Lin Su: "Not much, not much."

Lin Su returned to Shuijun Bay alone. She opened her suitcase and began packing. She only packed some daily necessities and finished packing quickly.

As she was leaving, she remembered the red paper-cut window decorations she had made on the desk in her study, so she went over, put them in her bag, and took them with her.

More than two hours later, Lin Su returned carrying a suitcase and a small bag.

She came to seek refuge with Chen Mu.

Chen Mu cleaned the room again in the past two hours, changed the sheets and duvet covers to new ones, and added an extra quilt to the dark blue bed.

There was only one bed, so they were obviously going to sleep together. However, they had shared a bed before, although each of them had their own blanket.

Lin Su squatted down and opened her suitcase. She took out her toothbrush cup and towel and put them in the bathroom without being told to.

She placed her toothbrush cup next to Chen Mu's, and inadvertently glanced at her smiling reflection in the mirror, quickly suppressing her laughter.

Her clothes also needed to be put into the wardrobe. Chen Mu had very few clothes, and Lin Su didn't take too many things either. The two of them didn't even fill the small wardrobe.

While Lin Su was busy, Chen Mu went to cook. The cooking area was on the balcony, and the environment was a bit simple, but fortunately, his cooking skills were excellent.

He only cooked two dishes: cauliflower stir-fried with pork and garlic-flavored greens. One bowl of rice was enough for them.

The dining table was also the same desk. Chen Mu cleaned everything up, and Lin Su helped bring out the rice. She sat on the only stool, so he had to sit on the bed.

He took off his navy blue overcoat, leaving him in only a black sweater—a very ordinary crew neck sweater, still shedding some fibers. The sleeves were rolled up a few times while cooking, revealing his slender wrists.

He has really lost weight.

Lin Su looked up at his face. Because he was thin, his features were more prominent, but he didn't seem aggressive. He just didn't have many expressions on his face, and they were very faint, but he didn't make people feel cold.

He was good-looking, the school's most popular guy, and had excellent grades; he was truly a model student in both character and academics.

The fact that such a good student was dating an ordinary girl who was of average appearance and had dropped out of school shocked many people.

"Eat up," Chen Mu said, noticing her lost in thought.

It had been so long since she had eaten his cooking. Lin Su lowered her head and took a bite, but tears started streaming down her face. She couldn't control herself at all.

She had just wiped away her tears when Chen Mu handed her a tissue, his voice low and heavy, "Don't cry, wipe your tears."

Lin Su took the tissue and pressed it to the corner of her eye. The soft tissue instantly absorbed a lot of her tears. She lowered her head and said, "...I'm sorry."

"Who have you wronged?" Chen Mu said. "Apologize less in the future."

Lin Su wiped away her tears, tilted her head back, her eyelashes still damp, and obediently said, "I won't say it again."

"Let's eat."

After dinner, Chen Mu went to wash the dishes. Lin Su didn't offer to help, as she hadn't been able to help before, and Chen Mu preferred to do everything himself.

After washing the dishes, Chen Mu pushed open the balcony door and went inside. Lin Su was gesturing on the wall, trying to stick the red window decorations she had brought on it.

She was trying to stick it higher up, but when she heard the voice, she turned around and asked, "Is it okay if I stick it here?"

"Okay." Chen Mu helped her find some tape and stuck it on the wall with her, instantly filling the room with the festive atmosphere of the upcoming New Year.

Thinking of the Chinese New Year, Lin Su asked softly, "When are you going home for the New Year?"

"I'm not going back this year," Chen Mu said.

Lin Su asked in surprise, "Why?"

"I'm busy with work," Chen Mu said. "Besides, there's no need to go back."

Like Lin Su, Chen Mu lost his parents at a young age, but he also had an uncle, and he would go back to his uncle's house every year for the Spring Festival.

But he used to come back every year, and Lin Su used to look forward to his return. She could only see him during holidays.

"Then we can celebrate the New Year together." Lin Su couldn't help but smile.

"Okay." Chen Mu turned on his computer, turned his head and said, "Go wash up and go to bed early. I'll work on it for a while longer."

Lin Su went to the bathroom. Since it was cold, she didn't need to shower every day. She just brushed her teeth, washed her face, and changed into her pajamas in the bathroom.

The pajamas were light blue, which matched the navy blue bed sheets perfectly. Lin Su sat on the edge of the bed and looked at the man who was facing away from her, typing on his computer.

Actually, they've only been separated for less than a year, but it's not really a separation because they weren't truly together either.

He was so kind and soft-hearted; whenever he saw her looking pitiful, he couldn't help but help her.

Lin Su threw off the covers and sat on the bed. She wasn't sleepy, so she leaned against the bed and played on her phone. As soon as she turned on her phone, a video call invitation popped up.
