Just as Gu Xingze was furious, Shen Yanxiu sent another message.

[Chen]: Thank you for reminding me.

"Cough cough cough!"

Gu Xingze coughed in anger and grabbed whatever he could throw and smashed it on the ground.

"You damn mistress!"

What's infuriating is that he has now become the very identity he hates most.

It's all that bastard's fault!

...

"What are you doing?"

Su Jin patted his back.

Shen Yanxiu subconsciously wanted to hide his phone, but then slowly took it out again.

"A message from Mr. Gu."

"ha?"

Su Jin took his phone, saw the provocative message, and was speechless.

Press the voice output button: "Are you sick? I think you don't have a heart problem, but a brain problem, right? Did they cut your cerebellum during the surgery?"

Shen Yanxiu's lips curled up slightly; she was protecting herself.

After finishing her rant, Su Jin handed the phone back to Chen Yanxiu.

"If he sends you any more messages in the future, you don't need to respond to them."

Shen Yanxiu replied, "Okay."

"Let's eat."

Su Jin said she wanted to eat dumplings in the afternoon, so Shen Yanxiu made them that evening.

Freshly made dumplings taste delicious when cooked.

Outside the window, the wind was biting cold, but inside the house it was warm and cozy.

Su Jin took a bite of the dumpling; she couldn't remember the last time she had experienced something like this.

"How about it? This is my first time making this filling."

Su Jin saw a picture of tomato and egg dumplings online and suddenly had the idea to ask him to make them.

"It's alright, not as dark as I imagined. You're a good cook."

Shen Yanxiu wiped the soup from the corner of her mouth with a tissue, "You've already eaten it all."

Su Jin lifted her chin so he could wipe it, her movements as practiced as an old married couple who had been together for several years.

Shen Yanxiu turned on his camera and took a picture of the dumplings on the table.

He cropped the photo on the camera, revealing only a tiny bit of Su Jin's fingers, and smiled contentedly at that small area.

Open your WeChat Moments and post it.

He rarely posts on WeChat Moments, but when he does, all his friends in the circle like it.

That's great! Dumplings are a must for the Winter Solstice.

Congratulations, Teacher Shen! [Rose] [Rose]

Another eye-catching and sour comment.

Eat it now, you might not be able to eat it again next year.

Shen Yanxiu replied to that comment.

Thanks for reminding me.

Gu Xingze was so angry that he smashed things around the house...

Su Jin's phone rang; it was Lin Shi calling.

"Why are you making a phone call at this time?"

Lin Shi shivered from the cold. "Are these media outlets crazy? Why are they still downstairs at your house? Aren't they freezing?"

"...You're downstairs at my place too?"

Lin Shi replied matter-of-factly, "Yeah, I'm here to freeload."

Su Jin smiled helplessly, "You've really become addicted to it."

"There's nothing we can do about it, what can we do when Xiao Shen is such a good cook?"

Su Jin looked at the dumplings on the plate. "I've come to pick you up."

Lin Shi strongly disagreed with this suggestion, saying, "Are you crazy? Why don't you come down and let them take pictures?"

Su Jin asked Shen Yanxiu to take the insulated box and put a few dumplings inside. "Go ahead and take pictures. I haven't done anything wrong. I just fell in love."

Su Jin put on her coat.

"Wait a minute, put this on, it's not cold."

Shen Yanxiu took out a glove.

"Have you finished knitting it?"

Su Jin was amazed by his skillful hands, but also somewhat disappointed.

"I prefer five-finger gloves, but this one is also very nice."

Shen Yanxiu kissed her forehead, "Then I'll knit another one with five fingers."

Saying goodbye to him, Su Jin carried the insulated food container downstairs.

When she arrived at the entrance of the residential area, she saw several people squatting down, physically squatting down on her.

"Hey, these are for you."

Su Jin stepped forward and gave them insulated food containers.

The men looked at her with obvious horror.

"I...we..."

Su Jin said expressionlessly, "There are dumplings in here. I just finished eating. Let's hurry home. My parents must be quite worried."

The group of people were a little embarrassed, but they accepted the dumplings.

"We understand..."

Lin Shi walked to her side, pointed behind her, and asked, "Shall we go?"

Let's go.

Lin Shi asked her, "Why did you give them dumplings? Did Xiao Shen make them today?"

Su Jin nodded. "It's quite delicious. They're all working people, and it's not easy for them. They actually waited outside my door all day."

Su Jin opened the door. "We're back."

Shen Yanxiu came forward and helped her take off her outer clothes.

"It must be very cold outside."

Su Jin nodded and snuggled into his arms for warmth.

"Hehe, your arms are so warm."

Shen Yanxiu held her, who was shivering, and said, "Then stay a little longer, you're really cold."

"It's unbearable to look at..." Lin Shi hugged the bread, "Waaah, thank goodness for you."

"Um... Lin Shi, there are some freshly cooked dumplings in the pot, have a taste." Shen Yanxiu pointed to the kitchen.

Lin Shi readily agreed, "Okay, nothing tastes better than dumplings."

She served herself a plate of dumplings, sat down, and began to eat.

Shen Yanxiu felt that Su Jin was no longer so cold, so he patted her and said, "Go and keep your friend company. I'll go tidy up your bedroom for you."

He always left just the right amount of space for Su Jin and Lin Shi.

Gu Xingze could never compare to her in this respect; he would only stubbornly stay by Su Jin's side.

In his eyes, neither men nor women could possibly steal the attention Su Jin had given him.

"Okay, thank you for your help."

Su Jin sat down next to Lin Shi.

"Tomato and egg dumplings are really special."

"I made him do it."

That's not surprising.

Lin Shi tilted her head towards the bedroom and asked, "Are you living together now?"

Su Jin waved her hand, "His work has been suspended, so he wants to stay with me for a while."

"You're so lucky to have such a virtuous man doing things for you," Lin Shi exclaimed, praising him as she ate dumplings one after another.

She tends to say unrealistic things when she relaxes.

"Actually, I think it's pretty good as it is now, with Xiao Shen as the legal wife and your ex-husband as the mistress."

"...What are you talking about, do you even know what you're saying?"

Lin Shi was still eating the food prepared by Shen Yanxiu, but she still spoke in favor of Su Jin.

"Don't you think this is appropriate? Xiao Shen seems to have a tolerant nature, which your ex-husband doesn't. So, I always thought that kind of relationship was quite strange. But now that I see it this way, it's not bad at all."

Su Jin found the suggestion both absurd and funny.

"They're still in this house, and you dare to say that?"

Lin Shi glanced cautiously at her bedroom. "He can't hear me, can he?"

"That's hard to say."

Su Jin changed the subject, "But there's one thing I'm sure of: I won't cheat. Whether in marriage or dating, I always have to break up before I can start a new relationship."

Lin Shi patted her on the shoulder and said, "You're right. Saying that makes me feel so ashamed."
