Chapter 604

Shu Xia was messaging Shu Xuan to arrange a time to meet, and upon hearing Qiao Muting's words, she looked up at him.

She ignored him.

How could she bully him back?

Her movements were not as fast as his, and there was a vast disparity in their strength.

She had made up her mind not to pay him any attention today.

She would wait for the marks on her body to fade before considering whether to forgive him.

Qiao Muting chuckled; he had indeed been too out of control last night and had bullied her too harshly.

Perhaps... in bed, she was the only one who could make him lose control. This matter was his fault; the day was still long, so he would coax her slowly.

——

Shu Xuan's breakfast was very simple, though at this time it should actually be lunch.

Milk, fried eggs, and a few slices of toast.

He finished it in a few bites.

With things on his mind and worry for Shen Anran, he had almost no appetite.

Shen Anran was even more absent-minded, her expression dazed. Even with Shu Xuan's gentle soothing and promises, her heart remained suspended in anxiety.

She had weighed many words in her heart time and time again.

Soon, she would see whether Shu Xuan truly liked her and just how important she was in his heart.

"I'm finished eating, you can tell me slowly now." Shu Xuan came to the sofa and sat down beside Shen Anran.

Perhaps because Shu Xuan was the eldest brother in the family and had been protecting his younger siblings since childhood, he easily inspired reliance and trust in others.

Even for Shen Anran, her heart, which had been in chaos from last night until now, had calmed down quite a bit.

Perhaps this was the power Shu Xuan had to put people's minds at ease.

Shen Anran took a deep breath and began to recount the story slowly.

Listening to Shen Anran's detailed description, Shu Xuan's expression gradually became grave.

After receiving Shen Anran's call, he had been wondering what it could be about.

He had imagined all sorts of possibilities.

But he had never imagined it would be like this.

As Shen Anran spoke, she observed the changes in Shu Xuan's expression.

It had to be said that Shu Xuan's personality was very steady; no matter what happened, he could face it with composure and calm.

One could not see any leakage of emotion on his face.

Only now did she realize that Shu Xuan had so many virtues.

——

Shu Xia had originally arranged to meet Shu Xuan at the food stall they often frequented.

But Shu Xuan said he had been staying up late recently and his stomach was uncomfortable, so he asked her to come to his dormitory where he would cook himself.

Shu Xia had eaten food cooked by Shu Xuan; the culinary skills of all of them were learned from Jiang Ye, so they were all quite good.

It just so happened that she had eaten hot pot at the hotel at noon today and didn't really want to eat anything greasy.

On the way, Zhang Tezhu sent her some more information about Shen Anran.

With this information and the video, she believed now was the time to let Shu Xuan know everything.

Shu Xia had been to Shu Xuan's dormitory twice.

The place was not big, but it had the advantage of a quiet environment, and the apartment was fully equipped.

When she arrived, Shu Xuan was still stir-frying.

"Since it's just the two of us, how many dishes are you planning to make, Brother? I'll go help you."
