Xu Jiaojiao had always dwelled upon her problems and never listened to others’ advice. After suffering such a huge loss this time around, she thought about Lin Chu’s words and finally made sense of what Lin Chu said.

She never had any elders to guide her through issues, and as such, there was never anyone to give her direction. Now that she had gone through such an unfavorable situation, it reminded her of Lin Chu’s words in the past. As harsh as they sounded, Xu Jiaojiao thought about it thoroughly and realized that Lin Chu sounded like a warm and affectionate senior.

She raised her head and looked at Lin Chu as the corner of her mouth twitched and she asked, “Can I still call you Sister? For real this time, and with no other intentions.”

Lin Chu looked at her carefully as she spoke and saw the sincerity in her words. “Alright, but I’ll say this now. If you do something embarrassing or stupid again, don’t expect me to help you and don’t blame me if I don’t acknowledge you either.”

Xu Jiaojiao frowned as she muttered, “I’ve just had something horrible happen to me, do you think I’ll still be this stupid?”

Lin Chu snorted in response. “Oh please, you were never that smart in the first place.”

Xu Jiaojiao always thought that Lin Chu had somewhat of a nasty mouth, but after this incident, she realized that Lin Chu used her sharp words to mind her soft heart. In the past, Xu Jiaojiao had only gotten close to Lin Chu with the intention of taking advantage of her, but now she sincerely wanted them to have this relationship.

Lin Chu could also see that she was being genuine.

Xu Jiaojiao pouted as she continued, “Didn’t you say that I have quite a good brain? You did say that I have the ability to accomplish something in the future.

Lin Chu did not bother to play nice as she replied with another snort, “I said that to build your confidence.”

“Hmph!” Xu Jiaojiao turned away to hide the small smile on her face.

Even if Lin Chu said this, she still had faith in herself that she would be able to accomplish something great.

…

Dai Minhui prepared a plate of stir-fried shredded potatoes and stir-fried green beans. It was a rare occasion that Lin Chu was visiting so she wanted to prepare something especially delicious, but since the ribs were frozen and there was not enough time to defrost and prepare a stew, she had no choice but to cook some shredded pork with eggs and dried mushroom.

Then, she prepared three bowls of rice and set up the dining table. She noticed the slight change in atmosphere between Lin Chu and Xu Jiaojiao, and although she did not understand what exactly had happened, she was happy.

Lin Chu spotted Dai Minhui’s eyes that were now red and suspected that she had secretly been crying. She may have become upset after thinking about all the unhappy things that had happened in the past, but this was just speculation.

Therefore, Lin Chu did not bother to ask and merely pretended not to have noticed.

Meanwhile, Dai Minhui had her eyes set on Lin Chu, eager for Lin Chu to pick up her chopsticks.

Lin Chu soon took a bite out of a piece of stir-fried green bean. Dai Minhui may have been influenced by Xu Dongguo, who was a chef, which was why the food she prepared was all delicious. It had the taste of a homey bistro, and though it was not as refined as the food from, say, a hotel restaurant, it still had a ‘real-world’ taste to it.

“What do you think? Does it suit your taste?” Dai Minhui asked anxiously.

Lin Chu nodded in response. “Yes, it’s delicious.”

Dai Minhui finally relaxed and began to eat. She constantly yearned to help refill Lin Chu’s bowl but she felt nervous as she was worried that Lin Chu would get annoyed with her, so she restrained herself.

While they had their meal, Dai Minhui got the feeling that she was forgetting something.

Xu Jiaojiao was still extremely pale, and her eyes were completely red and swollen. She placed her chopsticks down and said, “I’m full.”

There was still half a bowl of rice left, which meant she had not eaten much at all.
