The weather in Beijing turns warmer in May.

The bright sunshine shines on the earth, allowing people to take off their heavy cotton clothes and show their slim figures.

On this day, Chen Guangkun drove a cart full of antique treasures collected from outside and returned home.

He parked the tricycle casually in the yard, went back to the house, poured himself a glass of water and drank it down in one gulp.

He was exhausted after running around outside all morning.

Some large antiques had to be lifted down from the seventh or eighth floor, and the seller was in his seventies and could not help at all. It took Chen Guangkun a lot of effort to get a set of huanghuali wood furniture down.

By the time he finished moving the furniture, he was already sweating profusely and his clothes were soaked.

Chen Guangkun was not in much better condition when he returned home. His face and neck were covered in sweat, and the black short-sleeved shirt he was wearing was also soaked with sweat. He looked like he had just been pulled out of the water.

The man has been doing physical work these days, and his body is obviously stronger than before. His skin is a little tanned, and the bulging muscles on his arms are very obvious. He still looks very strong.

Chen Guangkun only realized that the water was warm after he drank it.

Looking around the house, it is clean and tidy, without a speck of dust, and everything is neatly organized.

This neat appearance is different from when he lived here alone.

Only when Zhao Haitang comes back home will the house be so tidy. Moreover, there is always warm water in the kettle so that he can drink it at any time.

Chen Guangkun walked to the door and glanced at the yard, which was also clean.

This change can only mean that Zhao Haitang has returned.

Ever since Zhao Haitang left her original family, she has followed Chen Guangkun.

She lives on campus most of the time. When she has classes at school, she concentrates on her studies. When she doesn't have classes, she comes back here to help.

Days like this passed by in a flash, and it has been almost two months.

Chen Guangkun seemed to have gotten used to Zhao Haitang's presence.

The aroma of food wafted through the air, and the sound of cooking could be heard from the kitchen.

Chen Guangkun walked to the kitchen door again, and as expected, he saw Zhao Haitang wearing an apron and skillfully cooking at the stove.

Since returning to Beijing, the girl has seldom been exposed to the sun.

Her skin has become very white.

There was a wooden glass window in the kitchen, and the sunlight was shining through the window, shining on the girl.

The skin looks fairer and smoother.

Zhao Haitang has delicate facial features, and any makeup would look redundant on her face.

The girl has a gentle and soft personality, and speaks in a soft voice, much like a girl who was born and raised in the Jiangnan area. When she is quiet, she is like a well-educated and well-mannered lady from a noble family.

Chen Guangkun was so absorbed in watching for a moment.

These days, as long as Zhao Haitang is around, he has no problem eating. Zhao Haitang is a great cook and can always make Chen Guangkun full.

Thanks to Zhao Haitang, he gained a lot of weight.

"You're back. The food will be ready soon. Go wash your hands."

Zhao Haitang noticed Chen Guangkun out of the corner of his eye and spoke without raising his head.

"Okay." Chen Guangkun was very obedient. He went to the kitchen faucet, squeezed out the boiling water, rubbed his hands, and washed his face.

After doing all this, go and help serve the rice.

The food was served and the house was filled with fragrance.

On the table was a bowl of pickled fish, a pile of cold cucumber and hot and sour shredded potatoes.

Chen Guangkun’s favorite foods are fish and potatoes.

After Zhao Haitang knew his preferences, she cooked fish and potatoes for him in different ways.

The two of them didn't talk much while eating. Chen Guangkun was a dull person, and Zhao Haitang didn't know how to get along with him, so he was also dull.

Over time, both of them got used to this way of getting along.

This scene suddenly gave me a feeling of a peaceful and peaceful time.

Chen Guangkun picked up a piece of shredded potatoes with chopsticks. The shredded potatoes were sour, spicy and refreshing, and went well with rice.

After swallowing the shredded potatoes in his mouth, he said in a muffled voice, "You can make whatever you want to eat. Don't worry about me. I don't always like fish and potatoes."

Zhao Haitang never talks about her own preferences, and never makes any requests to others.

Chen Guangkun could empathize with this kind of behavior.

Children who have never received love since childhood will become sensible early and would rather suffer losses themselves than trouble others.

These are all the sequelae of lack of love.

Zhao Haitang was a little surprised that Chen Guangkun would bring up this topic today, and she felt a little strange in her heart.

She said, "I can eat anything. I'm not picky."

Chen Guangkun rarely chimed in, "Sometimes you have to make some requests in order to get people to notice you and know how important you are."

Zhao Haitang stopped talking. She was carefully thinking about what Chen Guangkun had said. She felt that although this man had never been to school and could barely read, what he said still made sense.

Zhao Haitang smiled and her mood suddenly became better.

After they chatted for a few sentences, they ran out of topics.

After dinner, Zhao Haitang was responsible for washing the dishes while Chen Guangkun went to unload the goods.

After Zhao Haitang finished her work, she also went to help put things away.

Chen Guangkun brings back a lot of things every day. Zhao Haitang thinks that if they don’t move to a bigger place, they will have no place to put all these things.

She didn't know why Chen Guangkun would collect so many strange things and not sell them but just keep them in the warehouse. This behavior was really puzzling.

But Zhao Haitang is a qualified worker and doesn't ask any more questions.

But Chen Guangkun would occasionally tell her about some past events.

After a long time, Zhao Haitang finally found out everything about him and Shen Jiaojiao's childhood.

Now everything Chen Guangkun does, including staying alive, is for Shen Jiaojiao.

His whole life, his whole life, belongs to Shen Jiaojiao.

Zhao Haitang suddenly felt that Shen Jiaojiao was really a rare good person.

Not only is he indebted to Chen Guangkun, he is also indebted to her.

Even Chen Guangkun was willing to protect Shen Jiaojiao with his life, so how could she repay that adorable little princess?

The two were busy in the yard for a while, and then an old lady in her eighties with white hair who lived next door came over.

The old lady held a bowl of sticky brown sugar rice cakes in her hands and said with a smile, "You two are here today, I made rice cakes for you to eat."

After arriving here, Zhao Haitang became familiar with the neighbors, and it was common for them to send gifts to each other.

This old lady who is a little deaf always says that Chen Guangkun and Zhao Haitang are a couple, which is quite embarrassing.

Zhao Haitang's face immediately turned red. She looked at Chen Guangkun guiltily, then quickly walked to the old lady, took the bowl from her hand,

And he explained again, "Grandma, don't talk nonsense, he and I are not a couple, he is my eldest brother."

In order to avoid people from thinking too much, she told others that Chen Guangkun was her brother.

Grandma was smiling all the time. She only had a few teeth left in her mouth and her voice was lisp when she spoke.

"Okay, okay, it would be great if you could give birth to a big fat boy. Grandma will make clothes for him when the time comes."

The old lady misheard again.

Zhao Haitang was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into. He had no choice but to explain louder, "Grandma, we are really not a couple."
