Oh no, the aloof school beauty has been reborn too!

The morning light streamed in through the cracks, cutting a pale white line across the floor.

Traveling by land...

I'm awake!

The quilts at the guesthouse were quite thick, and the room was heated, so once you sank into them, you didn't want to move.

He lay on the bed for a few seconds before reaching for his phone, which was on the bedside table.

The screen lit up, and Shen Qingyi's message was already at the top of WeChat.

They've been seeing each other almost every day for the past few days.

From their reunion at the bus station, to buying vases, shopping, and making Perler beads...

Before I knew it, the chat history had accumulated to a very long length.

[Shen Qingyi: Are you awake?]

The message was sent ten minutes ago.

[Lu Xing: Just woke up.]

Almost immediately, the other side replied.

Shen Qingyi: Lazybones.

Lu Xing sat up in bed and typed while leaning against the headboard.

[Lu Xing: I didn't stay up very late yesterday either...]

[Shen Qingyi: Is the bed in the guesthouse comfortable?]

Lu Xing looked down at the bed.

[Lu Xing: Comfortable.]

After sending the message, he looked around the room thoughtfully.

It's a relatively old residential area with low-rise buildings and poor sound insulation.

Occasionally, you can still hear the sound of electric bikes passing by downstairs.

But there are light-colored curtains, warm yellow lights, neatly arranged cups, and a small dining table in the corner...

The longer Lu Xing stayed, the more he felt...

This is not a guesthouse at all.

He frowned slightly as he recalled how the girl had skillfully swiped the access card and entered the password a few days ago.

The phone vibrated at that moment.

[Shen Qingyi: What do you want to do today?]

Lu Xing's thoughts were immediately pulled back.

He stared at the sentence and thought about it carefully.

I've indeed traveled to quite a few places these past few days...

After several days of this, his legs started to ache.

[Lu Xing: How about... we don't go too far today?]

[Lu Xing: I've been wandering around outside the whole time, it's actually quite tiring.]

There was a moment of silence on the other side.

Oops.

Am I being a bit of a spoilsport?

Just as Lu Xing was feeling a little annoyed, the girl's message arrived.

Shen Qingyi: Okay.

Shen Qingyi: Then we won't go out today.

It was followed by a cat emoji.

[Shen Qingyi: Didn't I say last time that I wanted you to try the noodles I made?]

Lu Xing was taken aback.

I really want to try it...

[Lu Xing: Are you going to make it all before bringing it over?]

He thought for a moment, then added a sentence.

[Lu Xing: Aren't you working too hard?]

The chat box displays "The other party is typing" at the top.

A few seconds passed.

[Shen Qingyi: Doesn't the guesthouse have a kitchen?]

Lu Xing looked at the words, then turned his head to look at the other side of the room.

Don't tell me...

This guesthouse actually has a small kitchen.

The kitchen is small and is set up against the wall.

Inside, there was only a simple stove, a range hood, and a small double-door refrigerator.

Aside from boiling water once during his trip, Lu Xing had barely paid any attention to it these past few days.

He touched his chin.

The guesthouse is so well-equipped, with plenty of kitchen utensils, and even the bowls and chopsticks are neatly arranged.

What does it mean?

Just as Lu Xing's thoughts were about to drift deeper, Shen Qingyi's message popped up again.

[Shen Qingyi: Pack your things.]

[Shen Qingyi: There's a supermarket near the guesthouse in half an hour. Shall we meet at the entrance?]

Shen Qingyi: Let's go shopping together.

Lu Xing's heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason.

Going grocery shopping together sounds a little nerve-wracking...

Lu Xing looked down at his phone, his ears felt a little hot, but his fingers obediently typed out a reply.

[Lu Xing: Okay, I'll head out right away.]

He threw off the covers and got out of bed, his movements much more nimble than usual.

Food's ready!

……

The supermarket is not far from the guesthouse; for Lu Xing, it's less than a ten-minute walk.

He arrived at the location a few minutes early.

While I was standing at the door waiting for someone, two children chased after a shopping cart, the wheels making a clattering sound on the ground.

He glanced down at the time.

The next moment, a familiar voice came from behind.

"Land Travel~"

Lu Xing froze for a moment, then turned around helplessly.

Shen Qingyi stood behind her, dressed casually today.

A light-colored knit sweater, a loose long skirt, and a beige short jacket over it.

She didn't dress up too much, and her makeup was just light.

Even standing there, it remains so unique that it's hard to look away.

Lu Xing walked towards her.

"How do you manage to... always appear behind me out of nowhere?"

Shen Qingyi chuckled softly and winked at him.

"Have you been waiting long?"

"No, I just arrived not long ago."

Shen Qingyi's gaze lingered on his collar for half a second.

She then nodded slightly and stepped forward to straighten his collar.

"You're wearing pretty thick clothes today."

Lu Xing almost laughed.

"Student Shen, you checked so thoroughly!"

Shen Qingyi pursed her lips, but there was a hint of a smile in her eyes.

"I'm worried that some people might catch a cold and end up in bed crying and refusing to take their medicine, which wouldn't be good."

Lu Xing scratched his cheek.

"...I've always been in good health."

"Hmm~"

She dragged out her words, clearly not believing it.

Feeling guilty under her gaze, Lu Xing simply reached out and pushed over a shopping cart next to him.

"Let's go, Chef Shen."

Shen Qingyi slightly raised her chin.

"Hmph, today you'll be in charge of pushing the cart and carrying things."

"Yes... oh wait, that's not right."

Lu Xing immediately changed his tune:

"Yes, ma'am."

Shen Qingyi turned her head with a puzzled expression.

"Land travel..."

"You don't have some other fetish I haven't discovered, do you?"

"How is that possible?!"

……

The supermarket was very warm.

The loudspeaker at the entrance was playing GG on a loop, and there were quite a few people coming to buy groceries.

Shen Qingyi walked ahead with her hands behind her back.

Lu Xing pushed the shopping cart, following half a step behind her.

She first took him to the fresh produce section.

The beef was neatly arranged in the freezer, with labels clearly indicating the different cuts.

Shen Qingyi stood in front of the counter, looked down and examined the boxes carefully for a while, then asked the clerk to bring out two more boxes for comparison.

She didn't rush to choose.

Instead, he first looked at the color, then the texture, and then reached out and gently pressed it a few times through the packaging.

Lu Xing stood to the side, watching with a sense of novelty.

"You know all this?"

"Of course."

Shen Qingyi spoke very naturally.

"Or are you going to eat takeout from now on?"

Lu Xing immediately lowered his head.

"I'm sorry, I'm a foolish Lu Xing."

Shen Qingyi smiled, selected a box of beef brisket, and took some beef slices suitable for cooking noodles.

"You definitely don't eat scallions."

"Yes, yes."

"A little cilantro would be nice..."

"Yes, yes."

"Shall we add a little ginger?"

"sure."

Lu Xing nodded like a primary school student listening to a lecture.

Shen Qingyi couldn't help but laugh again.

Lu Xing stared at the smile on the girl's face, momentarily lost in thought.

No matter how many times I see her, her smile is always so radiant.

Shen Qingyi's movements were very practiced.

It wasn't something I learned by watching short videos, nor was it the kind of tentative, unfamiliar approach.

Choosing the meat, asking about the side dishes, and estimating the portion size—everything was just right.

As Lu Xing watched her pick out vegetables, a strange and indescribable emotion welled up in his heart.

Humans are always like this; they will always become more and more greedy.

If those memories truly belong to him...

At this moment, the greedy Lu Xing wanted to ask the heavens to return his memories.

Shen Qingyi took some cilantro and ginger, and then picked out a few green vegetables.

She casually put each item into the car, her movements natural and fluid.

As she walked past the condiment section, she turned back and asked:

"Does the guesthouse/homestay have soy sauce and MSG?"

"There should be, right?"

Lu Xing paused, then honestly added:

"Okay, I haven't checked either."

Shen Qingyi looked at him and sighed softly.

"Let's buy some then, just in case we run out of seasonings when we get back."

"it is good."

"Oh, and noodles too."

"Hmm, we need to get a carton of eggs too."

"it is good."

Lu Xing pushed the cart, agreeing with exceptional obedience.

As Shen Qingyi passed the snack area, she slowed down.

Her gaze fell on the top row of potato chips on the shelf.

Lu Xing followed the gaze and saw the spicy bag.

He reached out and took a bag of potato chips from the shelf and put it in his shopping cart.

"Take whatever you want."

Shen Qingyi was taken aback for a moment, then looked at him with amusement.

"You took this for yourself."

"Um?"

"I don't eat spicy food."

Lu Xing gave an awkward laugh and put another bag of original flavor into the car.

"I just grabbed it on the spur of the moment."

Shen Qingyi thought of something and reached out to poke Lu Xing's face.

"Some people always say they won't eat."

"But if you put food right in front of your mouth, you'll always eat it obediently."

Lu Xing was about to speak when his brain suddenly went blank.

A quiet night, the warm yellow light in the living room, a woman holding a bag of potato chips...

The image flashed by, blurry as if seen through a layer of fog.

But that sense of familiarity was so real that it was impossible to ignore.

Lu Xing snapped out of his daze, turned his face to the side, and his ears turned slightly red.

"Am I... like that?"

Shen Qingyi looked at him, her eyes filled with a gentle smile.

"More than once."

Lu Xing was silent for two seconds, then quietly defended himself.

"Maybe I just... don't want to waste it, you know?"

"Ugh, wasting food is shameful!"

"Yes, that's right~"

Shen Qingyi nodded, and said in a deliberately serious tone:

"Lu is thrifty and hardworking, which deserves praise!"

Lu Xing was so amused by her that he could only blush and continue pushing the shopping cart forward.

After a while, he couldn't help but turn his head and glance at her again.

"Qingyi..."

"What's wrong?"

"You seem to remember everything about me very clearly."

Shen Qingyi paused for a moment.

The supermarket was brightly lit, and people were coming and going all around.

She reached for a bag of non-spicy seaweed and put it in her shopping cart.

"Because it's you."

The girl's voice was soft, yet it was like a delicate thread that gently tugged at Lu Xing's heart.

Lu Xing cracked his knuckles and continued walking forward.

I'm sorry, Qingyi...

It seems I've forgotten you the only one.
