Coincidentally, the girl she had met once on the plane was in front of Chu Xingyue in line.

The girl in front of her didn't seem to notice her. She was carrying a laptop bag and looking down at her phone. Chu Xingyue was much taller than the girl, and even though she was standing behind her, she could see what the girl was looking at on her phone. Chu Xingyue only glanced at it before looking away. She had no interest in knowing other people's privacy.

Soon it was the girls' turn. The petite girl couldn't get her luggage down after several attempts. Chu Xingyue saw this, took a big step from behind, and reached out to help the girl lift it down.

The girl turned her head in horror and saw that it was Chu Xingyue. She breathed a sigh of relief; she was really scared to death.

"Thank you." The girl's voice was soft, but tinged with a hint of timidity.

"You're welcome." Chu Xingyue took off her luggage and smiled at the girl.

"goodbye"

"goodbye"

The girl, her face flushed, murmured as she held her phone.

Chu Xingyue strode away from the airport

It's so late; it will take even longer to get home.

Chu Xingyue simply went to her second brother Chu Qingzhi's house in the city. Anyway, she had a room there. Her second brother had told them that whenever they went to the city and didn't go back, they should go to his place. His place was cleaned regularly.

Taxis can't get into these upscale residential areas, and besides, people don't usually take taxis here.

Chu Xingyue got out of the car, took her luggage from the trunk, and entered the residential area by scanning her face.

Chu Qingzhi pushed her luggage as she walked through the residential area. Her house was located at the very back of the complex, where privacy was very high, so it was quite far from the main gate.

Lights shone from behind, and Chu Xingyue moved a little further to the side of the road.

A limited-edition luxury car drove past her, but Chu Xingyue didn't pay attention. Suddenly, the car, which had been driving forward, reversed and drove straight towards Chu Xingyue. Chu Xingyue noticed and stood there watching what the car was trying to do.

"An'an?"

The lowered car window revealed Gu Yanci's handsome face, a mixture of surprise and delight.

"Aci?"

Gu Yanci parked the car, opened the door, and got out, seeing the luggage Chu Xingyue was pushing.

"You're back?"

"Yes, it was too late to go home, so I stayed at my second brother's place for the night."

Gu Yanci reached out and took the suitcase from Chu Xingyue's hand, opened the trunk and put it in.

Chu Xingyue saw that Gu Yanci's leg was fine.

"Come on, get in the car, I'll take you there."

He opened the passenger door for Chu Xingyue and quickly walked around the car to get in.

"Have you eaten?" Gu Yanci turned to look at Chu Xingyue and asked.

"Not yet, I came straight here after getting off the plane."

Chu Xingyue wasn't being coy; she was so hungry she could eat a whole cow.

"Go back and take a hot shower later, and I'll get you something to eat."

Chu Xingyue was a little surprised, "You can cook?"

"It's definitely not as good as other food, but it's not bad either."

Chu Xingyue's expression amused Gu Yanci.

Chu Xingyue didn't say much. As long as there was food, she was fine with it; she wasn't picky.

When the car arrived at the garage, Gu Yanci first took Chu Xingyue to Chu Qingzhi's place, and then gave his phone to Chu Xingyue when they got off the elevator.

"When you come down, install an access control device on your phone. You can use my phone first; I'm on the top floor."

Chu Xingyue nodded and got out of the elevator.

The one-apartment-per-floor layout effectively protected privacy. Chu Xingyue took a comfortable shower in her room and felt refreshed. Kyoto summers are hot and humid, but thankfully the entire building is temperature-controlled.

Shoulder-length hair dries easily with a hairdryer. She put on a short-sleeved shirt and trousers, grabbed Gu Yanci's phone, and went upstairs.

As soon as she opened the door, she smelled the aroma of food. Chu Xingyue sniffed the air and felt even hungrier.

Hearing the noise from the kitchen, Gu Yanci poked his head out and said, "An'an, there's some sliced ​​watermelon on the table. Have some first, I'll be done soon."

Chu Xingyue sat in the restaurant watching Gu Yanci busy in the kitchen. She suddenly realized that this ethereal man was actually cooking, which was a bit of a shock to her. But then she thought that it was Xia Lin and Gu Yanting who cooked in the military region, so she was relieved.

Chu Xingyue, while eating watermelon, suddenly felt a sense of anticipation, wondering if Gu Yanci's cooking skills were as good as Xia Lin's and Gu Yanting's.

Gu Yanci didn't keep Chu Xingyue waiting for long. Soon, dishes were served one after another, and a bowl full of rice was handed to Chu Xingyue.

"Try my cooking. Aren't you lucky? I just started making pork bone soup this morning."

As Gu Yanci spoke, he ladled a bowl of soup for Chu Xingyue with a soup spoon, and thoughtfully ladled several large pieces of meaty bones onto a plate to cool.

Chu Xingyue was really hungry, and she ate quickly. Gu Yanci also filled his own bowl with rice. Seeing that Chu Xingyue had finished hers, he reached out and took the bowl to add more rice.

Gu Yanci looked at Chu Xingyue with heartache, seeing that she looked extremely hungry, and kept putting food on her plate.

After finishing the last sip of soup, Chu Xingyue put down the bowl and let out a sigh.

He gave Gu Yanci a thumbs-up.

"Aren't you being too modest? This skill is no worse than that of a master chef."

Gu Yanci smiled.

"I've never cooked for anyone else before. I always thought my cooking was pretty good, but I didn't expect to get praise from An's girlfriend. From now on, I'll cook the meals, and you won't have to lift a finger."

The word "girlfriend" made Chu Xingyue shyly touch her nose.

Oh no, I forgot for a moment that Gu Yanci is now my boyfriend.

Seeing that Gu Yanci wasn't paying attention to her, Chu Xingyue changed the subject.

"Your leg looks like it's recovering well."

Gu Yanci looked at his legs

"He's recovering quite well; he can run and jump now."

"Um"

"I'll wash the dishes." Chu Xingyue wiped her mouth after finishing her meal, feeling embarrassed.

Before he could even stand up, Gu Yanci stopped him.

"Go watch TV in the living room for a while. You don't need to do these little things. I'll do them. You go ahead and do them for a bit, I'll be done in a minute."

How can you let a girl go into the kitchen? When men are young, they are all out working, and women stay at home to take care of the family. So as long as the man is at home, the woman doesn't have to do any housework.

Chu Xingyue wasn't being coy; if they wouldn't let me do it, I wouldn't.

Chu Xingyue sat on the sofa and took out her phone. Before coming back, she went to the research institute to see her mother. Her mother was doing well there and hugged her tightly, reluctant to part, knowing that she was coming back.

She was told to take good care of herself, and Chu Xingyue patiently nodded in agreement. She was also told to come back and greet her family.

"An'an, your school will start soon, right?"

Gu Yanci wiped his hands, walked out, and sat down on the sofa.

"Yeah. It'll be a few days soon. The team has a match in a few days, and I promised them, so I can't go back on my word. I'll go over tomorrow and practice with them a bit more."

Gu Yanci, as the boss, is also paying attention to this competition.

The main venue for this competition is the Beijing Convention and Exhibition Center in their capital city, making it one of the most anticipated matches of the summer.
