"That kid."

Zhuang Quan brought out another bowl of pork rib soup and looked towards Fu Daoyuan's room with amusement.

Fu Daoyuan's room door was closed, but the sound of water could be heard coming from inside.

While taking a shower in the bathroom, Fu Daoyuan smelled himself. Fortunately, he didn't smell of sweat.

At this moment, Ahri's bracelet reacted. [Ding~ Mission objective has appeared. Please prepare to accept the mission. The mission to save the cannon fodder male supporting character has been activated. Mission requirements: Have one… beep beep… beep beep… ding, change the male supporting character's early death. Wishing you a happy life!]

Ahri curled her lips into a smile. She had changed the mission requirements. Every time, she had to do a loving clap. How annoying!

Besides, this male supporting character already has someone he likes, so why would she want to get close to him?

Now, all we need to do is keep him from dying too soon.

Inside the room, Fu Daoyuan looked at his clothes in the closet. Wasn't she his childhood sweetheart? He could wear anything; why bother choosing?

Fu Daoyuan selected a black shirt and a pair of black suit pants from the wardrobe. Would this be too formal?

Is it white?

Fu Daoyuan, calm down! Wear whatever you want! Wear whatever you want!

In the end, Fu Daoyuan chose a simple yet dignified black suit for himself, finally convincing himself that he didn't need to pay too much attention to the details.

He walked up to the mirror and examined himself closely. The black shirt made his skin look even whiter, and the suit pants accentuated his long legs. Although he was still a little nervous, he was also a little excited and nervous.

He also recalled their childhood, when happiness was pure and untainted.

Now, five years later, they meet again. He has to show her that he has grown up, he is different, and he is still a handsome guy!

Fu Daoyuan took a deep breath, trying to regain his composure.

Finally, Fu Daoyuan opened the door and immediately looked at the dining table in the kitchen.

As a result, Ahri is gone!

Where are they?

He just changed his clothes, but where did he go?

Did you go back?

Fu Daoyuan's tension and anticipation vanished instantly. He walked towards the kitchen and asked, "Mom, where's Ali?"

Just then, Ahri came out of the kitchen carrying dishes and replied, "I'm here."

"oh."

Fu Daoyuan subconsciously took the dish from Ali's hand; it was stir-fried green peppers and eggs.

Ah Li wanted to let go, but was unsure whether to, because Fu Daoyuan casually placed his hand on the edge of the plate and his eyes fell on her.

"Fu Daoyuan, do you still want to eat?"

Zhuang Quan covered her mouth and laughed for a while. Her son was dressed so formally, which was different from when he usually wore shorts at home.

There's something going on.

"Oh, yes."

Fu Daoyuan then came to his senses, and took the dishes with great embarrassment, carrying them to the table.

Ali turned around and went back to serve the dishes. Zhuang Quan also brought out the dishes and asked Fu Daoyuan to get rice.

Fu Daoyuan glanced at the rice in the pot, then took a rice scoop and filled a bowl to the brim for Ali. He even pressed the rice scoop down with it, noting how thin she had become.

Next, he called himself and his mother.

They're all less than Ahri's bowl.

Zhuang Quan and Ali exchanged a glance, each taking the smaller bowl and keeping the larger one for themselves.

"No, Ahri, you should eat this bowl, you should eat more."

Fu Daoyuan wanted to switch with Ali, but Ali protected the bowl in her hands and said, "It's too much, I can't eat it."

"But you're too thin."

"No, it's just right."

She's very standard now.

"Ah Li, ignore him. Let's eat first, and then we'll go for a walk."

"good."

Zhuang Quan picked up a piece of food for Ali and urged him to eat it quickly. He also glared at Fu Daoyuan, telling him to shut up.

When he finally finished the bowl of rice, Fu Daoyuan said he was stuffed and too full.

Ali and Zhuang Quan walked hand in hand, preparing to change their shoes for a walk.

"I'll go with you."

Fu Daoyuan, clutching his stomach, was about to follow them out.

"No, it's not good to go for a walk after eating too much. You should wash the dishes first."

Zhuang Quan coldly rejected Fu Daoyuan and left with Ali.

Fu Daoyuan rolled up his sleeves and went into the kitchen to start washing the dishes.

He looked downstairs and saw Ali and Zhuang Quan walking together below.

Although we haven't been in touch much over the years, the little star in his room is still there.

He took all the little stars apart and then put them back together.

But none of it was what he wanted to see.

The words written inside the little stars are mostly things like studying hard, being happy, and having a good time.

Fu Daoyuan sighed deeply. Today he had heard people say that childhood sweethearts can't compete with those who suddenly appear out of nowhere, and childhood friends can't compete with older classmates.

So, does she have someone she likes?

Fu Daoyuan felt increasingly frustrated. Wouldn't his earlier joy seem foolish to her?

"Why."

Fu Daoyuan let out a long sigh.

Just then, his phone rang; someone was calling him to go online and play games.

It was his roommate who created a couple's title with him in the game and wanted to complete a couple's quest.

Because his roommate was in love but couldn't have her, and didn't want his goddess to know he was single, he washed Fu Daoyuan's socks for a month before Fu Daoyuan agreed to be his girlfriend.

However, he chose female as his gender, while Fu Daoyuan was male.

However, his goddess didn't care at all.

The couple's nickname remained, but no one took it seriously.

Fu Daoyuan sat on the sofa, casually leaning back and starting to play games with his roommates to complete tasks.
