He Ju seemed really tired, and couldn't be bothered to deal with Su Ran anymore. He just y ba the bed, quietly closing his eyes.

  At this moment, He Ju finally realized that love was useless, no matter how much love there was, it was useless unless it was mutual.

  After g for a while, Su Ran saw that He Ju had ion at all, so she had to tidy up her emotions and leave.

  After almost half an hour, He Ju received a call from his mother.

  Not wanting his parents to worry about him, He Ju said, "Mom, there's an urgent dot at the pany where I'm interning. I'll drop off Su Ran and then head back. I'll e see you tomorrow..."

  After dealing with his parents, He Ju removed the needle from his hand ahe hospital.

  Today was retively lucky, wasn't it?

  At least...

  He Ju's father didn't have any major issues, just some heart pain caused by exhaustioing well should resolve it.

  Thinking this, He Ju decided to tidy up the house so that his parents could have a fortable pce to stay ohey were discharged.

  So, He Ju took a taxi to the old, run-down house.

  What He Ju didn't expect was...

  That he would see an ued person here.

  It was Liu Jia.

  She was wearing a JK skirt today, carrying a bck JK bag, showing off her straight and slender legs. Her petite face had a light makeup on it, and her fine bangs were blown by the evening breeze, revealing her white forehead. Her slightly curly long hair was casually draped behind her head, and her lips had a color that He Ju couldn't describe, which looked very nid made Liu Jia look even more youthful aiful.

  He Ju was a little surprised. "You... what are you doing here?"

  Liu Jia's face blushed slightly. Standing in front of He Ju, she answered softly, "I knew your parents came to City A, and I thought you would definitely e back. My friends and I came over to this area to py, so I thought of waiting for you here. I didn't expect to really see you, but..."

  Liu Jia looked at He Ju with some . "What happeo your nose?"

  He Ju felt a little embarrassed. "It's nothing, I actally bumped it and had to go to the hospital for some medie."

  Liu Jia didn't believe it, but seeing that He Ju didn't want to say more, she ged the subject.

  Liu Jia took out the key that He Ju had actally lost and shook it lightly. "It's quite cold after the sus. you invite me up to sit for a while?"

  Only then did He Ju e to his senses and took the key from Liu Jia's hand. "e in and sit. I'm sorry for not keeping my promise to treat you to a meal when I came back."

  Liu Jia followed behind He Ju. "It's okay. Since you're back, there's no rush."

  He Ju nodded, and the two ehe house together.

  The house was unoccupied, so it had gathered some dust. He Ju poio the sofa in the distance. "Jia Jia, have a seat. I'll tidy up a bit."

  Liu Jia put down her bag and took the initiative to go to the kit to get a cloth. "Let me help you ."

  He Ju said, "Jia Jia, just sit. I ha."

  After thinking for a moment, He Ju asked Liu Jia, "Did you e to see me just to return my key?"

  He had a spare key, and Liu Jia should know that.

  Moreover, Liu Jia didn't o e in person to find him. A phone call would have sufficed. Their homes were very far apart, and it took two hours by subway. It was a bit unreasonable for her to make this trip just for a key.

  Liu Jia suddenly became nervous, unsciously tugging at her skirt and blushing slightly. He Ju looked at her extremely awkward appearance...

  He Ju suddenly thought of something and became unfortable.

  Could it be... that Liu Jia liked him?

  But, wasn't Liu Jia always with Su Ran?

  In the past, in order to please Su Ran, he had asked Liu Jia for a lot of help.

  This was a bit... dramatic, wasn't it?

  Liu Jia also stuttered a bit. "A-as... as cssmates, I-I ... e to see yht?"

  He Ju looked away, smiled, and ged the subject. "Of course, you . Have you eaten?"

  Liu Jia couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. "Not yet. How about you?"

  He Ju touched his empty stomach. "Me her. How about tonight, I'll take you out for dinner?"

  Liu Jia looked at He Ju, who still had a bandage on his nose, and smiled gently. "Let's not go out. Is there any noodles i? I'll make a simple bowl for us to eat?"

  He Ju was ing, and when he heard Liu Jia's words, he nodded slightly. "Feel free."

  He Ju wao tidy up the house as soon as possible, so he didn't pay much attention to Liu Jia.

  An hour ter, He Ju had fiidying up and wao go to the kit to che Liu Jia.

  As he walked to the kit door, he saw Liu Jia using chopsticks to tie up her long hair, fixing it behind her head, revealing her slender neck. When she saw He Ju ing, she smiled softly at him. "It's almost ready. Wash your hands and we'll eat the noodles."

  He Ju came back to his senses. "Oh, okay."

  After washing his hands, He Ju saw that there was a steaming bowl of egg noodles oable, with a few pieces of cured meat aables on top. It was clear that even for a simple bowl of noodles, Liu Jia had made it with care.Seeing He Ju staring at the bowl of noodles, Liu Jia couldn't help but reveal a shy expression, cautiously sitting down opposite him, and spoke in a gentle voice, "My cooking isn't that great, please make do with a little."

  He Ju smiled politely, "Not at all, it looks delicious, thank you for your hard work."

  Liu Jia passed He Ju the chopsticks, "Then have a taste."

  He Ju took them and began to eat the noodles.

  It had to be said, Liu Jia's cooking skills were indeed quite good. A bowl of clear broth noodles was cooked to be fragrant and appetizing, leaving a lingering taste that made one crave more.

  He Ju quickly fihe bowl, having been busy all day, this was his first meal.

  Watg He Ju eat, Liu Jia's heart thumped wildly several times. She really didn't uand, what was not to like about someone like He Ju? Well-mannered, with upright principles, and although his family's financial situation couldn't pare to the wealthy, they were still fortably well-off.

  After finishing, He Ju wiped his mouth with a tissue, then picked up a bottle of mineral water and took several gulps before stopping. He then said to Liu Jia, "Jia Jia, you eat first, I'll wash the dishes and then take you home."

  Only then did Liu Jia, with a flushed fad rag heart, e back to her senses, and she replied softly, "Okay."

  It wasn't her fault, He Ju was truly too tempting. He was i shape, with a tall stature of 1.85 meters, and wheilted his head back to drink water, the exposed colrbone and Adam's apple were enough to make Liu Jia's heart flutter.

  He Ju had no idea what Liu Jia was thinking as he went to the bathroom to ge the dressing on his nose.

  By the time He Ju finished ging his dressing and came out, Liu Jia had just finished eating. He Ju naturally rolled up his sleeves and walked over, taking the bowl and chopsticks from Liu Jia's hands, "I'll wash them, you sit for a while, I'll be quick."

  He Ju swiftly ehe kit, not notig the instant flush on Liu Jia's cheeks as he approached her.

  Liu Jia took several deep breaths before heading towards the kit.

  She had already decided, once He Ju had settled his thoughts aurned, she would definitely fess her feelings to him.

  Although He Ju might not accept her right away, at least... she should be as brave as He Ju, just this once.
