Lin Jian was in a very confused mood when he left here. He didn't want to go anywhere. He went straight back to his home, entered his room and slammed the door.

He thought that maybe he needed some quiet time to think things over.

Throwing himself into the embrace of the bed, Lin Jian stared at the familiar ceiling with his eyes open, his thoughts surging fiercely. Thinking back to the beginning of his encounter with Shen Qingmiao, until now, Lin Jian found that he remembered it so clearly.

Even the little things that happened between them are still clear in my memory.

If he had thought it through earlier and taken action earlier, the situation would have been different.

Why did he choose to slowly integrate into Shen Qingmiao's life and let her get familiar with his existence? If he had chosen a tougher approach before and directly expressed his feelings, would Shen Qingmiao's target have become him now?

It's too late to say anything now. Shen Qingmiao already has a partner, and he is one step too late after all.

Lin Jian lay in bed, his energy drained from him completely. He felt limp and didn't want to move at all. His eyes were filled with regret, disappointment, and even more so, disappointment.

Perhaps, he and Shen Qingmiao were not destined to be together.

For several days, Lin Jian couldn't get over the news and couldn't concentrate on anything. His parents naturally noticed his abnormal behavior.

Thus, the following conversation took place.

"What's going on with my son these past few days? It seems like he's worried about something."

"What could he be worried about? He's been doing nothing all day, and yet he still has something on his mind."

"I said, can't you just care about your son and ask him what's going on?"

"If you want to ask, go ahead and ask. I won't go."

"If you don't go, I will."

Finally, Lin's mother couldn't stand it anymore and took the initiative to find Lin Jian and asked tentatively: "Son, why are you unhappy recently? Is there something on your mind? If you have any troubles, you can talk to me. Maybe I can give you some advice."

While speaking, Lin's mother was always paying attention to the changes in Lin Jian's expression.

"Don't worry, Mom. I'm fine." He said this, but he didn't look like he was fine.

Seeing that Lin Jian refused to say anything, Lin's mother decided to try harder to see if she could find out anything.

"Son, you don't look okay. I'm worried about you."

Lin Jian could see that his mother was worried.

After a moment of silence, Lin Jian said softly, "The girl I like has a boyfriend."

When she heard that he liked a girl, Lin's mother was surprised; but when she heard that he had a partner, the surprise on her face froze.

My son finally has a girl he likes, so how come he already has a partner?

Now, not only was Lin Jian withdrawn, but his mother was withdrawn as well. When his father returned home, he saw two withdrawn faces. He was puzzled: Didn't he say he wanted to see what was bothering his son and comfort him? How did he become like this too?

What on earth happened?

After Lin's father learned about the situation, he comforted Lin's mother, "It's a good thing that Lin Jian has a girl he likes. It doesn't mean he's starting to grow up. Although that girl has a partner, Lin Jian might fall in love with another girl in the future. This is a good thing, there's nothing to worry about. Let him think about it himself, he'll figure it out in a few days."

When Lin's mother heard this, she thought it made sense and stopped worrying.

Before New Year's Eve, Shen Qingmiao received Gu Jingyuan's package. Shen Qingmiao was surprised when she received the heavy package.

"How much did Gu Jingyuan send? It's such a big package."

Shen Jianmin, the hardworking tool who accompanied Shen Qingmiao to pack the package, replied after hearing this, "You'll know when you open it when you get home."

To be honest, Shen Jianmin was equally curious about what was inside the package.

In order to open the package as soon as possible, they both quickened their pace. The coldest thing in winter is probably the wind. The whistling cold wind penetrates directly into the clothes, as if it chills you to the bone.

In this kind of weather, you must be fully armed when going out, and it is best to only expose your eyes to ensure warmth.

Shen Qingmiao always dresses like this when she goes out. Unlike Shen Jianmin next to her who is not afraid of the cold, she just wears this sweater inside and a thin coat outside.

Shen Qingmiao felt cold just looking at the way he was dressed.

As twins, how could their physical fitness be so different? Shen Qingmiao couldn't help but wonder if the third brother had been exercising more since he was pregnant.

Thinking of this, Shen Qingmiao secretly glanced at Shen Jianmin next to him, wanting to see why he had the ability to resist the cold.

When they got home, Shen Jianmin put the package on the table and Shen Qingmiao couldn't wait to open it.

As soon as it was opened, all kinds of items appeared in front of Shen Qingmiao, including food and daily necessities. Shen Qingmiao even suspected that Gu Jingyuan had moved the supply and marketing cooperative here.

Li Zhaodi was sitting in the hall and was also attracted by the piles of items on the table.

Li Zhaodi: "Qingmiao, who sent these? There are so many things." While speaking, Li Zhaodi's eyes never left the pile of things on the table.

"Gu Jingyuan sent it."

Li Zhaodi knew who Gu Jingyuan was, but she hadn't expected Qingmiao's boyfriend to be so generous and send so many things.

Li Zhaodi knew clearly that these things did not look cheap. They contained not only coats, leather shoes, and skirts sent to Shen Qingmiao, but also cakes and candies.

Li Zhaodi said enviously, "Qingmiao, you are so lucky. Look how much your partner loves you."

After seeing these things, Shen Jianmin's impression of Gu Jingyuan was strengthened. Judging from his appearance, he must be very concerned about Qingmiao.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have sent so many things over.

The things in the package were all things that girls liked. Shen Qingmiao looked at these things and seemed to see Gu Jingyuan's conflicted expression. She thought that Gu Jingyuan must have thought about it for a long time and couldn't think of a better gift, so he just gave the girls a gift of what they liked.

Thinking of the tangled expression on Gu Jingyuan's handsome face, Shen Qingmiao felt a little happy. From the items, she could feel Gu Jingyuan's care and love for her.

Shen Qingmiao packed up her things one by one and took out the snacks, waiting for everyone to share. As for the other items, they were all bought for her by Gu Jingyuan.

When Shen's mother and father came back, they learned that Gu Jingyuan had sent a large package.

After dinner in the evening, "Auntie, is this malted milk?" Xiao Jie stood aside and was full of curiosity.

"Yes, come and try it." Shen Qingmiao made a cup for Xiaojie.

Not only Xiaojie, Shen Qingmiao also made a cup of malted milk for everyone in the family to try. Everyone was curious about what this malted milk tasted like, even though they had only heard of it but never tasted it.

After taking a small sip, it was sweet and everyone's expression brightened up a little.

Xiaojie exclaimed, "It tastes so good!"

Others think the same.
