The moment the Toad Man walked out of the community cursing, he could no longer enter this Jiangnan community.

Seeing that the matter was handled properly, Gu Lingyan turned around and lowered his head to check on Xiang Huanian's condition:

"Are you scared?"

The incident happened suddenly. In order to protect himself, Xiang Huanian raised his hand in panic, but in the next moment, Gu Lingyan caught it steadily in his hand.

My heartbeat seemed to skip a beat.

But this is not the end yet. Gu Lingyan stood in front of her. His broad shoulders and the powerful sense of protection made Xiang Huanian feel as if her brain had crashed.

Until now, the other party turned around, and the question that seemed to be asked through a layer of gauze sounded like the sound of nature to Xiang Huanian's ears.

Xiang Huanian came back to his senses, looked up to meet the other person's dark eyes, and replied:

"fine."

But Gu Lingyan could tell at a glance that Xiang Huanian was still in a state of shock. He thought for a moment and said to Xiang Huanian:

"Can you give me another glass of that water? I'm still jet-lagged and want to drink some red date water to help me recover."

Now that he had something to do, Xiang Huanian woke up as if from a dream. He immediately pulled himself out of his uneasy state, jogged all the way, picked up his thermos, and poured a full cup of red date water into Gu Lingyan's cup.

She also covered the puppy with the towel that Lin Yunchu had previously instructed for An An.

Gu Lingyan, who just wanted the little girl to do something to distract her, said: "..."

Gu Lingyan, as an adult male who had lived for nearly thirty years, actually didn't really like sweet water. He had only wanted to take a couple of sips...

But the words had already been spoken. Facing the little girl wiping the dog with a towel and looking up at him from time to time to drink water, Gu Lingyan could only slowly bring the sweet red date water to his lips again and slowly drink it.

"Um...thank you for what happened just now. If you don't mind, I'll cook you a meal."

When Xiang Huanian noticed the pause and numbness when Gu Lingyan brought the red date water to his mouth, he realized the other party's subtle care for him.

However, although Xiang Huanian was very grateful to the other party, he did not like to owe others. Some favors were best repaid on the spot.

Because, given that the other person's social circle is so different from mine, there may be no chance for us to meet or repay each other except now.

Then he thought of what Gu Lingyan had just said about jet lag, and the way he had rubbed his forehead from time to time. Xiang Huanian guessed that he probably didn't eat and came directly to help his unlucky brother find something.

That’s why there was an invitation to cook for someone.

Even so, for her, such an invitation far exceeded the safe social circle she had always maintained with others.

"No, I'll be back later..."

Gu Lingyan originally wanted to refuse, but when he thought about how he always gave his aunt at home a holiday when he went to dismantle the house, if he went back now, he really would have nothing to eat.

If he ordered takeout, he inexplicably didn't want to eat outside.

I want to eat home-cooked...

Being in his position, Gu Lingyan is not the kind of person who would compromise himself.

But Xiang Huanian's fresh face really doesn't look like someone who can cook...

Gu Lingyan hesitated.

"Ok?"

Xiang Huanian, who was thinking about what kind of food would be suitable for people suffering from jet lag, didn't hear clearly what Gu Lingyan had just said. He subconsciously looked back and asked with a nasal tone.

At this moment, it seemed as if something had happened.

Gu Lingyan nodded and said:

"Well, then I'll stay and have a quick meal before leaving."
