After closing the door, Shen Jiazhou said in a normal tone, "Didn't you think about anything? Then why are you staring at me? Do you think I'm good-looking?"

Wen Shuqiao smiled and said, "You are good-looking, but I didn't say you weren't."

Shen Jiazhou grunted twice before Wen Shuqiao said, "I was just thinking about how old you are."

“A man’s age is a secret,” Shen Jiazhou said. “Please switch.”

Wen Shuqiao couldn't help but laugh out loud. Shen Jiazhou crossed his arms and tilted his head slightly: "What are you laughing at?"

"It just feels like you're a completely different person now compared to when I first met you." Wen Shuqiao's eyes crinkled with laughter.

Shen Jiazhou felt a little uncomfortable, but he couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Then tell me, was the old me better, or the current me?"

“They’re both good,” Wen Shuqiao said. “They’re all because of you, so why do we have to distinguish between them?”

Shen Jiazhou's lips curled up, and he said, "You know how to talk."

Wen Shuqiao said, "So you..."

“According to them, after the New Year, it will be the 27th.” Shen Jiazhou said with a touch of melancholy, “Time really flies.”

In the blink of an eye, he's already twenty-seven.

He countered with, "And you?"

Wen Shuqiao said, "I'm going to be twenty-seven too."

Shen Jiazhou became interested and asked, "So, we're from the same year? When is your birthday?"

Is it her birthday?

Wen Shuqiao wasn't actually sure when she was born; her birthday in her previous life was the day the headmistress took her in.

"March 20th," Wen Shuqiao said. "And you?"

Shen Jiazhou made a "two" gesture, and his smile became even more genuine: "That's perfect, I'm a month older than you, I was born on February 16th."

"What's there to be happy about?" Wen Shuqiao didn't quite understand why he suddenly laughed. "We're the same age, there's no difference in age."

Shen Jiazhou withdrew his hand: "Of course we have to break up. In my eyes, you're a child now."

Wen Shuqiao couldn't help but laugh and chimed in, "Okay, I'm so happy, I'm finally a child again. Sir, please check the doors and windows, I'm going upstairs to sleep, because we children should go to bed early and get up early and not stay up late."

After saying that, the two of them couldn't help but lower their heads and chuckle to themselves.

Shen Jiazhou, for some reason, was laughing so hard his shoulders were shaking: "Wen Shuqiao, what are you doing?"

"Isn't this responding to what you said?" Wen Shuqiao cupped her face in her hands and patted it with her fingers. "It's a little strange, but I'm trying my best not to let your words fall to the ground."

Shen Jiazhou looked up, his eyes shining like stars. He said, "Then thank you. It's great that you didn't embarrass me."

Wen Shuqiao tilted her head and said, "You're welcome."

After calming down, Wen Shuqiao said, "I'm not talking to you anymore. I have to get up early tomorrow. I'm going upstairs now. Good night."

Shen Jiazhou's eyes were still crescent-shaped. He hummed in agreement, "Goodnight."

He watched Wen Shuqiao go upstairs until she was out of sight, and then he checked the doors and windows as Wen Shuqiao had instructed.

In fact, Wen Shuqiao had already checked everything. Shen Jiazhou stood by the stairs, looked up at the upper floor, and didn't even realize that his smile had deepened.
