In the end, Lin Xun returned to his original home, which was room 520 in the Happiness Community.

I originally planned to check if this place had been rented out, but I didn't expect it to be preserved exactly as it was before we moved out.

Lin Xun found the landlord, who immediately greeted him with a beaming smile as he called him Young Master Lin. Clearly, in this neighborhood, the Lin family's identity was no longer a secret.

According to the landlord, Lin Batian bought the house directly and made it their property. Even if no one lives there, it cannot be rented out.

After all, it was the house they had lived in for so many years, and the Lin family still had feelings for it.

Lin Xun asked the landlord for the house key, tidied up a bit, and was ready to move in.

He made a video call to his parents to let them know he was safe. They were very surprised to learn that he had arrived in Liangcheng. Their son had even moved back into his old house. They immediately felt that buying the house was the right decision they had ever made.

After tidying up, Lin Xun took a shower.

Fatty stayed in the city where his university was located and didn't return to Liangcheng, so it was impossible for Lin Xun to catch up with him. In Liangcheng, it seemed that Fatty was Lin Xun's only friend.

As for the others, his high school classmates, he lost contact with them after graduation, and even in the high school group chat, everyone was a lurker.

Lin Xun was still worried about his senior, so he sent her a message.

The latter replied quickly.

Su Qingshi rented a guesthouse, but according to her, the environment wasn't very good. She was fooled by the pictures advertised online, and it was quite expensive.

Lin Xun couldn't sit still any longer. He dressed and went out immediately.

Well, he was just worried about the safety of his senior living there, not that he wanted to see her.

Unlike hotels, guesthouses are like rental apartments, with all kinds of basic facilities. Lin Xun decided to buy some groceries and go over.

Old hen, stew chicken soup!

Spare ribs, fish...

He bought all sorts of nutritious ingredients, because it's essential to ensure his senior's nutrition during her menstrual period.

So when Su Qingshi saw Lin Xun carrying large bags and small packages of things in, she was somewhat surprised.

"Senior, you must not have eaten enough. I'll make you some food." Lin Xun tidied up the kitchen as if he knew it well. Luckily, he had the foresight to replace the oil and salt with new ones. Apart from the tableware, everything else was quite scarce here.

Watching Lin Xun's busy figure, Su Qingshi suddenly felt a sense of being taken care of. She had felt this way before; she noticed that when Lin Xun was around, she didn't have to do many things herself, and Lin Xun didn't let her do them either.

Well, that's a big plus for the junior, but I wonder if he can maintain that after marriage.

Pah! How could I have thought of that?

People tend to overthink when they have nothing to do!

Lin Xun prepared a very lavish meal, full of nutrition. Each dish was topped with scallions and cilantro, which were her favorites, making the aroma irresistible. Su Qingshi's mouth watered just from smelling it.

I washed the dishes, served the rice, and poured a glass of warm water for my senior.

One-stop service.

"Senior, the environment here isn't very good, and it's only on the fifth floor. Climbing up and down is too tiring. Why don't you find somewhere else to stay?"

During the meal, Lin Xun made a suggestion.

Su Qingshi said calmly, "I've already paid, so just make do with it."

Lin Xun immediately took out his phone and performed a series of operations.

At the dining table, Su Qingshi's phone lit up with a message popping up.

But Su Qingshi quickly snatched the phone away.

However, Lin Xun still saw it.

He stared wide-eyed at the senior student: "Senior, that wallpaper..."

Oh my god, isn't that a photo of him and his senior? It's the photo from when they were playing the claw machine together!

The senior student is using the same wallpaper as him!

surprise!

Lin Xun was overjoyed!

Su Qingshi said expressionlessly, "You've misunderstood."

She pretended to be nonchalant while reading the message, then suddenly paused, "Why are you transferring money to me?"

Lin Xun transferred 1,000 yuan to him.

Lin Xun said, "I paid for this house. When I came up here just now, I found that the hallway was very dark and not very safe. Let's find another one."

Unless he can bring his senior back every time, but he can't guarantee that she won't be in danger when he's not around, after all, she's too beautiful and could easily be targeted by bad guys.

Su Qingshi looked at him, both amused and exasperated: "There aren't as many bad people as you think."

But I'm worried about you!

Su Qingshi was stunned. How should she respond to that?

Lin Xun took a deep breath and suddenly looked at Su Qingshi with an extremely serious expression: "Senior, I have something to say to you."

Su Qingshi's heart suddenly started pounding. She lowered her gaze, picked up some rice, and put it in her mouth, saying, "Mmm."

Lin Xun had the words on his lips, but he didn't know how to say them. He had thought about it countless times and imagined it over and over again, but when he was actually face to face with his senior, he was still nervous. His heart felt like it was jumping out of his throat.

"What do you want to say?" Su Qingshi raised her hand and tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear, her voice soft.

Lin Xun opened his mouth, but the long-winded thoughts in his mind had vanished, leaving him speechless.

After a moment of preparation, Lin Xun failed. His eyes were somewhat dejected, and he lowered his head slightly to prevent his senior from seeing his emotions.

The words "It's nothing" were about to be uttered.

suddenly…

"What a coincidence, junior. I also have something to say to you."

Lin Xun looked up, completely bewildered: "What?"

Su Qingshi said calmly, "I think I've fallen for you."

Gaa!

The air suddenly became still, with only the increasingly rapid pounding of their hearts echoing in their ears…

Lin Xun's eyes were blank, then they widened.

Did he hear that right? The senior just said she likes him?

Did the senior girl confess her feelings to him?

Lin Xun stared at Su Qingshi in disbelief.

Originally, he wanted to confess his feelings to his senior in person. He didn't want to wait any longer. He felt that the two of them were already close to breaking through the barrier. If he didn't make the move now, when would he?

He had been overthinking things lately, imagining countless possibilities after confessing his feelings. Even if he was rejected, he would have no regrets since he had expressed his feelings.

But the senior actually confessed to him before he could!

Lin Xun felt as if his soul was ascending to heaven; the overwhelming surprise caught him completely off guard.

Seeing that Lin Xun didn't react, Su Qingshi lowered her head and used eating to cover up her guilty conscience. When she said those words, she was extremely nervous and uneasy. She had never experienced love before, and this was the first time she had experienced what it meant to like someone.

She wanted to try to face this feeling of liking someone, so she spoke up because she was afraid that if she didn't speak up now, she wouldn't have the courage later!

Will my junior agree? Will he think I'm joking? How can I move on from this?

Su Qingshi's mind was completely in turmoil.

"I was just kidding..."

"I took it seriously, senior!"

Su Qingshi suddenly looked up and stared at him blankly.

Lin Xun looked at her with utmost seriousness, then smiled and said, "Senior, I'm so happy and so fortunate."

I'm so glad that while I like you, you also happen to like me!
