She took the paper from his hand and roughly wiped the sweat off her face. Then she sat down on the sofa next to the coffee table, looked at the fragrant pan-fried beef pasta, and started eating without caring about anything else.

I hadn't eaten since I came back from school, and I was really hungry. My stomach was rumbling just now, and I was thinking of going out for a quick meal after yoga. But he didn't leave and even cooked dinner.

Mix the pasta with minced meat and tomato sauce, put it in your mouth, chew it for a while and then swallow it without worrying about gaining weight.

"Senior, you are so busy every day, do you still have time to cook?" While eating, Gu Xiqing looked at Lin Qingxuan with a bright gaze.

Lin Qingxuan had come back to his senses from his memories. He sat across from her, watching her wolf down her food. He handed the water cup to her and said, "Eat slowly. Don't choke."

"It's already very slow." Gu Xiqing nodded randomly, picked up the water cup and took a sip, then asked again, "Senior, you haven't answered me yet. You are so busy, and you can actually cook? What else can't you do?"

"There are many things I don't know." Lin Qingxuan pursed his lips, a hint of bitterness flashing in his eyes.

There are many dishes he can cook, but there are also many he can't cook. But when he starts cutting vegetables and cooking in the kitchen, he can't help but cook the dishes that Gu Xiqing usually makes for him.

I don't know when it started, but he also learned from her and began to take care of her now.

If she knew that she is now a little girl with a happy childhood and will be a happy person in the future, she would probably be very happy.

For some reason, when I saw the sunny and flawless Gu Xiqing in front of me, the past Gu Xiqing came to my mind.

"That's pretty good too." After finishing her meal and wiping the corners of her mouth, Gu Xiqing gave him a thumbs up.

"What are your plans for the summer? If you have some free time, I can teach you some of the next semester's classes in advance."

Upon hearing that classes were about to begin, Gu Xiqing quickly shook her head in fear, "Senior, I'm really busy, and..." Thinking of the teacher's advice, she spoke slowly, "Also, I plan to go to an arts school and focus on dance."

There is only one year left before she goes to college, so she needs to plan her future studies well. She is not a genius, so it is impossible for her to handle both schoolwork and ballet at the same time.

You can only choose one to give up.

Ballet will be her main subject of study in the future, and everything else will come second.

There was an almost invisible ripple in Lin Qingxuan's eyes.

After thinking for a moment, he nodded, "Do you have a goal?"

"Yes, I told my uncle about it. He said his professor abroad is at a top ten dance academy in the world and he can let me study there."

Gu Xiqing felt happy when she thought of her uncle's unconditional support for her and the plan she had taken for herself.

"Going abroad?" Lin Qingxuan's heart trembled and he raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Well, I'll discuss it with Mom after she comes back from her trip. She's definitely hoping I can study abroad, so you don't have to worry about her objections, and you don't have to squeeze out as much time as a sponge to tutor me."

After that, Gu Xiqing shook his hand and expressed her sincere gratitude, "I am really grateful that you always help me when I am confused, but I also feel guilty for bothering you every time... Sigh... Senior, if you really charge me a fee, I won't be able to pay you back even if you sell me off."

How can I let a young group president tutor me?

I can't always trouble him, of course not because I'm afraid of his stern look when teaching... Of course not!

"Are you trying to chase me away?" Lin Qingxuan's hands were held by her, and he could feel the warmth of her skin from the outside. His heart was in turmoil, but he tried to remain calm on the surface.

Hearing this, Gu Xiqing panicked and quickly let go, her eyes dodging, "No, no."

After so many years of friendship as neighbors, how could I chase him away? I'm just kidding...

Haha, if I really chase him away, he will turn around and complain to his mother, and I will be scolded again.

"However, Senior Lin, since you are so busy, please don't worry about me. It's getting late now, so go back and get some rest."

"Are you really going to kick me out?" Lin Qingxuan was pushed out of the door, his hands grabbing the door frame, "Xiqing, it's dark outside. You kicked me, the cook, out after you finish eating. Isn't that too heartless?"

"Ah? Is it dark?" Gu Xiqing glanced sideways out the window. How could it be dark? Aren't there street lights? And his house was right next to hers, just a couple of steps away.

"Then I'll take you downstairs and take you home?"

This is the first time I know he is afraid of the dark since he was a child?

I'm afraid you're just fooling yourself.

But he cooked pasta for me and kept tutoring me, so... I'll just send him back.

Lin Qingxuan lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then nodded sullenly.

He would have liked to stay here and rest, but he had no excuse.

Gu Xiqing ran downstairs with her phone in hand, "Senior, shall we go?"

Lin Qingxuan followed.

After walking a few steps, I arrived at my neighbor's house, Lin Qingxuan's house.

Standing at the door, Lin Qingxuan really didn't want to go in.

"Xiqing, after dinner, let's take a walk before going back?"

"No, I have an appointment with Xiangxiang. We are going to play online games together tonight. She is very busy. She finally has time to accompany me. I can't let her down. Senior, go to bed early. Good night, good night."

Waving hand hurriedly, Gu Xiqing walked back with cheerful steps, humming a little song.

Lin Qingxuan stood at the door, watching the cheerful and light figure enter the room, then opened the door and walked in.

After a while, we drove out of the community.

After so many years, I drove to the northern suburbs of S City for the first time, to a cemetery in the mountains that few people know about.

It is surrounded by mountains and forests, very quiet and undisturbed.

In the middle of the night, a car stopped at the entrance of the cemetery. Under the cool moonlight, I stepped onto the stone steps and walked towards the open space with ease.

I was feeling particularly depressed tonight and couldn't think of anywhere to go, so I drove and drove and ended up here.

The place where Gu Xiqing's tombstone should have been is now an empty grassland, with some tiny white flowers on the crisp grass buds.

Lin Qingxuan stood there and watched for a long time, as if he had returned to the world where Gu Xiqing was no longer there.

……

This empty grave in the cemetery in the mountains of the northern suburbs was bought by a mysterious person.

No one knew who the buyer was, but the gardener would occasionally see a young man driving over and staying in the empty cemetery for half an hour or longer.

After a long time, when the young man came, he would bring him some gifts and ask him to weed the cemetery when he was free.

It seems that someone in the family is about to pass away, so they prepared a cemetery in advance?

What a filial son.

The gardener bit into a crisp apple, watched the car leave, and thought secretly.
