Li Xiu never believed in ideal types; he didn't have one.

In his heart, he believed he would grow old alone.

For him, living with someone is an impossible thing.

But when he met Jiang Tian, ​​all his old rigid ideas disappeared.

He wasn't annoyed by Jiang Tian's presence; on the contrary, he wanted to spend as much time with her as possible.

He is not used to dining with others, and after each social gathering, he has to take special medication to suppress the nausea in his heart.

However, he inexplicably ate the food Jiang Tian had prepared.

After returning home, I did not take any medication and experienced no adverse reactions.

Moreover... just seeing Jiang Tian faint caused him heartache.

If this feeling isn't love, Li Xiu doesn't know how to explain his thoughts.

Li Xiu had never experienced this kind of attraction between people before.

After he finished speaking, he quietly looked at Jiang Tian.

He was afraid that Jiang Tian would show disgust and aversion towards him.

He had seen this kind of emotion countless times in the eyes of others since he was a child.

He was actually used to it, but when he met Jiang Tian, ​​he started to feel uneasy.

When he told her he liked her, Li Xiu clearly saw her surprise.

"Mr. Li, do you like me?"

Li Xiu nodded slightly: "...Yes."

Jiang Tian fell silent.

Li Xiu's heart sank.

His dark eyes held a sense of desolation.

Yes, he was expecting something.

Li Xiu's face was exceptionally handsome, but his complexion was pale. Whenever he showed sadness, there was an indescribable sense of brokenness about him.

Seeing his increasingly downcast expression, Jiang Tian finally couldn't help but laugh.

"Mr. Li, would you like to date me?"

Li Xiu suddenly raised his head, a look of helplessness flashing in his eyes.

After a long while, Li Xiu regained his voice.

He followed his heart and said, "Yes, I like you, and I want to be with you."

Jiang Tian smiled again: "Okay, then let's date."

A surge of ecstasy spread through Li Xiu's heart as he stared intently at Jiang Tian: "What...what are you saying?"

I said, "Let's date."

Jiang Tian's lips curled up slightly, and her tone was extremely gentle.

A captivating light appeared in Li Xiu's eyes.

For the first time, he was struck by happiness.

However, not long after, his expression changed again.

Are you... repaying a debt of gratitude?

He couldn't think of any other reason.

If he hadn't helped Jiang Tian, ​​why would she like him?

He has absolutely no redeeming qualities whatsoever.

Even... he was someone who had been diagnosed with a mental illness.

"That's part of the reason, but the main reason is that I have feelings for you."

She has feelings for him.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiu's lips curled up slightly.

"So, Mr. Li, would you like to date me?"

"I have no redeeming qualities except for being rich."

Li Xiu suddenly realized that he was useless, and even his money was an unexpected inheritance.

Otherwise, how could he have won Jiang Tian's favor?

Jiang Tian kept him in suspense this time and didn't tell him directly.

"I just want to say that you have many other good qualities besides money. I will tell you about them in the future."

Li Xiu reacted slowly, and even he didn't realize that his eyes were full of smiles.

He looked at Jiang Tian and said, "Okay, let's be together."

Three days later, Jiang Tian was discharged from the hospital.

It was Li Xiu who personally picked her up and took her back.

They had already agreed that if Jiang Tian dated him, she would live with him in the villa in the future.

Li Xiu has been incredibly energetic these past few days, and even he is surprised by the changes in himself.

He and Jiang Tian used to interact frequently, but after they became lovers, Li Xiu realized that he wanted to be with Jiang Tian all the time.

Jiang Tian and he returned to the villa hand in hand. She looked around at the villa's decor and asked him with a smile, "With such a cold color scheme, won't I get cold staying here?"

Upon hearing this, Li Xiu said somewhat flusteredly, "I'll change it tomorrow."

Jiang Tian laughed again: "Don't panic, I was just teasing you, but I'll be happy if you change it."

Li Xiu was relieved, but he had already made a mental note of it.

Replace anything that Jiang Tian doesn't like.

Who's going to cook dinner tonight?

Li Xiu immediately said, "I'll do it."

He usually cooks for himself, but this time, he practiced cooking several times in advance for Jiang Tian.

He inquired about Jiang Tian's preferences beforehand and finalized the menu.

“Then I’ll help you,” Jiang Tian quickly replied.

Li Xiu wanted to refuse, but thinking of Jiang Tian by his side, he chose to acquiesce.

"You look like an extraordinary master, but I never expected you to cook for yourself."

Li Xiu smiled. Every time he faced Jiang Tian, ​​he always felt ashamed of himself.

He's not that good at all.

So I want to do better.

Li Xiu was very nervous while cooking, but he still had muscle memory and was quite skilled at stir-frying.

Jiang Tian, ​​on the other hand, seems to have a natural talent for cooperating.

During their collaboration, every time Li Xiu turned his head, he could see Jiang Tian's smile.

His desolate and empty heart gradually warmed because of her smile.

The two of them ate side by side, not facing each other.

Because Li Xiu likes it.

Jiang Tian went along with him.

As Li Xiu ate, he kept looking at Jiang Tian, ​​and could smell the fragrance emanating from her at any time, which made him feel extremely at ease.

After finishing their meal, the two of them cleaned up the table together.

Seeing Li Xiu washing his hands, Jiang Tian stood beside him and talked to him.

She didn't show the slightest disgust because of Li Xiu's neurotic behavior.

After Li Xiu finished washing his hands, he looked at Jiang Tian and asked with some difficulty, "...Which room do you want to sleep in tonight?"
