Chapter 16: Even looking at a dog is full of affection.

Su Wanwan's eyes widened in disbelief; the cloud drive was still logged into the tablet!

Most of the contents are academic materials and her usual notes, which she doesn't mind showing to others. However, there are also many photos she has taken in her spare time.

Of course, there's nothing wrong with the photos; they were taken when she traveled to different places or when she felt like it. Most of them are landscape photos, with a few photos of herself interspersed among them.

It's normal; there's nothing like nude photos, and they can't even be called private photos.

However, there is also a photo of her and Xie Yanning taken together!

During high school, a few of them went out to relax after their monthly exams. She and Xie Yanning happened to be sitting together in the corner of the private room when someone inadvertently took a picture of them.

The lights weren't very bright. Xie Yanning was smiling and talking to her, and she was smiling back.

She and Xie Yanning are both good-looking; the handsome man and beautiful woman have a great chemistry.

No wonder she misunderstood back then; Xie Yanning's eyes were so full of affection.

Later, it was discovered that he was affectionate even when looking at a dog.

She was just being delusional.

Everyone shared the photos they took in their group chat. Su Wanwan blushed as she saved them and uploaded them to her cloud drive.

When she realized she was just imagining things, she considered deleting it, but she couldn't bear to, so she just left it in a corner of her cloud drive.

If there's anything Xie Yanning shouldn't see, it's this photo.

What if Xie Yanning thinks she still has feelings for him or something? That would be so embarrassing!

Su Wanwan's mind was racing. She threw off the covers and hopped onto the balcony on one leg. Just then, Xie Yanning arrived home.

"Xie Yanning!" Su Wanwan called his name in her haste.

Xie Yanning looked up at her. "What's wrong?"

"Um," Su Wanwan said breathlessly, "I didn't finish watching that surgery video. I'm so eager to watch it. Could you let me see it?"

"..." This excuse was hardly even perfunctory, and Xie Yanning didn't say anything else, "Okay."

Su Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief, standing on the balcony watching intently, silently counting down the time Xie Yanning should come out.

Inside the room, the tablet had gone dark.

Xie Yanning was shrewd and didn't believe a single word of Su Wanwan's nonsense.

This cloud drive should contain things that Su Wanwan absolutely cannot let him see, photos that cannot be made public, or academic achievements.

However, based on his understanding of Su Wanwan, he probably didn't have any academic achievements that she wanted to keep secret, and even if she did, she wouldn't put them on the cloud drive.

That's the photo.

Despite his curiosity, Xie Yanning's own self-cultivation prevented him from doing such a thing.

Later, Xie Yanning saw the name of the folder containing the photos and then bullied Su Wanwan again.

As she calculated the time, Su Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief.

She should have faith in Xie Yanning. Although he seems to have deep feelings for everyone and is a scoundrel without realizing it, he is ultimately a gentleman.

After opening the elevator for Xie Yanning, Su Wanwan's first action was to grab the tablet and exit the cloud drive. After a series of smooth actions, she returned the tablet to Xie Yanning, calmly saying:

"I'm so sorry to trouble you to make this extra trip. I'm getting old and my memory isn't what it used to be. I realized I already have my own tablet. I'm really sorry to have troubled you."

She'd already had enough embarrassing moments today, so one more wouldn't make a difference.

Xie Yanning didn't expose her.

"Your knees still hurt, so don't jump around like that." Xie Yanning helped her back to the bed. He glanced at the time; it was almost noon. "What are you planning to eat for lunch?"

Su Wanwan was forced to sit on the edge of the bed. After hearing the question, she thought for two seconds and said, "I can't cook in this condition, so how about ordering takeout?"

In fact, Su Wanwan's kitchen had been used no more than ten times in the month since it was moved in. Her family runs a restaurant, and whether she has cooking skills or not is completely unrelated.

"It's the busy lunchtime now, it might take more than an hour, I'll bring it up for you."

Xie Yanning stood right in front of her. He was tall, and with Su Wanwan sitting down, the difference in their height was even greater, creating a sense of oppression.

"Oh, I'm sorry, isn't this?" Su Wanwan's first thought was to politely decline. She had eaten there last time and hadn't even thanked them yet, and now they were coming again.

"Do you have any dietary restrictions?" Xie Yanning ignored her refusal and stared straight at her.

Su Wanwan recalled that Xie Yanning had asked her the same question once when they went out to dinner.

Her answer at the time was "I don't eat garlic".

Now, when asked again, Su Wanwan's answer was different: "I don't eat chives."

Upon hearing this answer, Xie Yanning raised an eyebrow. "Anything else?"

"there is none left."

When she was studying abroad, she was influenced by a roommate from the north to eat garlic and meat.

People's tastes change.

What you once liked or disliked can change.

"Okay," Xie Yanning said softly, then turned and left.

Su Wanwan lay back on the bed, and just as she was about to turn over, she bumped her leg and couldn't help but cry out "Ouch, ouch!"

Today is truly an unlucky day.

Ask me! Why didn't you ask last time?!

Xie Yanning brought her a few simple home-style dishes, which smelled delicious and made her mouth water.

Su Wanwan had a heavy workload during her studies and wasn't picky about food, but that doesn't mean she disliked good food. Her time abroad was the darkest period of her life.

With her Chinese palate, she was really fed up with Western food.

During her time back home, she felt that even the hospital cafeteria was filled with nectar and ambrosia.

I tried Xie Yanning's as well, but it was a pity.

Why doesn't Xie Yanning become a chef?

She must go there every day.

Around midnight, Xie Yanning rang the doorbell.

Su Wanwan hopped over on one foot to open the door.

Xie Yanning placed the lunchbox on the dining table.

Su Wan ate late, and he watched.

Su Wanwan wasn't embarrassed. As long as you have a strong enough heart, you have nothing to fear.

Not wasting food is a virtue of Su Wanwan. She ate almost all of what Xie Yanning brought. Xie Yanning hesitated, then said, "Be careful, don't overeat."

There's no need to be overly frugal or insist on finishing everything on the plate every time.

He was considering taking Su Wanwan out to eat next time, but he would have to make the portions smaller. He was worried that if he kept doing this, she would ruin her stomach.

Su Wanwan asked sincerely, "Professor Xie, are you really not planning to enter the catering industry?"

"..." Xie Yanning took a deep breath, "Thank you for your sincere advice, no."

"That's such a pity. If you open it, I'll definitely patronize it every day and spend all my salary there."

After all, her family's restaurant has no plans to expand into the inland areas for the time being.

Xie Yanning smiled noncommittally, "I only know how to cook for my family."

Su Wanwan picked up her water glass and drank some water.

That's such a pity.

She can't be his family.
