She put the box with the cat and the fruit into the trunk, turned around and got into the car with a huff.

  The way back was silent all along.

  One is depressed and suffocated, the other is carefree and spirited.

  Su Nian's temper came and went quickly, and after walking halfway, she recovered as usual. She couldn't help but gossip when she thought of Ye Qingya teasing Gu Zhichen earlier, "Gu Zhichen, do you really have someone you like? Is she pretty? Smart? What type is she?"

  Silence, a silence as if Su Year was talking to herself.

  "Oh my, don't be so cold, just tell me this once, okay? Gu Nan Shen... Gu Shuai Ge... Gu Ou Ba..." Su Nian Nian's voice was soft and rising at the end, sounding like she was pouting.

  Gu Zi Chen was called by her intimate nickname and was slightly dazed, slightly furrowing her brow.

  What is it like to love someone? Such emotions seem strange and terrifying to him.

  Her voice was as sweet and soft as a young girl's, chattering non-stop, but he didn't find it annoying at all, instead hoping the road would go on forever.

  There has always been someone by your side.

  Su Xian asked for half a day but didn't get any clear answer, and said in frustration, "How could you possibly have someone you like? Someone like you should be put on an altar and worshipped with three sticks of incense every day, surrounded by holy aura. Who would want to fall in love with you and suffer bad luck? You're so cold and unapproachable..."

  Gu Zi Chen rarely didn't refute or mock, but instead pursed his lips.

  Returning home, Su Niannian carried a full load of spoils back home. Gu Zichen gazed at her cheering and jumping figure, feeling that somewhere in his heart had softened into a gentle spot.

  Slowly, slowly collapsed a small corner.

  ——

  Back home, she threw the basket into the living room and Su Nian ran upstairs to build a cozy nest for the kitten. After busily working on it for half a day, she finally built a perfect nest for the little cat and fed it. Then, Su Nian started to think about what name would be good for it.

  The little kitten stretched out its small head and licked the milk in the small bowl, its cute appearance melted Su Nian's heart.

  "Should I call it Xiaobai? Xiao Huang? Huahua?" Su Nian was in a dilemma over what to name it.

  The image of Gu Zichen appeared in his mind, with that perfect and flawless handsome face always being indifferent, untouched by worldly desires.

  Fantasizing about replacing Gu Zichen's face with Baozi's face, Su Nianian's mood suddenly brightened up.

  "Alright, I'll just call you BaoBao from now on! BaoBao, from now on you're my son!" Su Nian's slender fingers gently stroked the soft fur on BaoBao's body, her eyes filled with affection.

  Chen Yuan pushed open the door and saw his own sister being overly affectionate. He sighed, "You've given her a good name?"

  "Yes, it's Bao Bao, how is he?" Su Nian looked at Chen Yuan with full expectation.

  Chen Yuan was as gentle as a stream, "Sounds good, come on, wash your hands and have some pomegranate."

  Su Niannian gazed at the small bowl in his hand, where the crystal-like pomegranate seeds were being peeled out one by one, radiating a crystalline luster.

  She quickly went to wash her hands, picked up a spoon and scooped out a large spoonful of pomegranate, the sweet and refreshing taste filled her mouth, making her comfortably narrow her eyes.

  No wonder Chen Yuan was nowhere to be seen just now, it turned out that he went to peel pomegranates for her.

  Su Xiangxiang's good impression of this brother deepened.

  Chen Yuan rubbed her hair, with a gentle smile still on her face.

  His mother died early and there were no brothers or sisters in the family, so his life was very lonely from childhood to adulthood.

  Now he has such a lovely and sweet little sister, giving him a strong sense of responsibility to protect and take care of her.
