A smile as gentle as the spring sun appeared on Shu Qingcheng's face. "These are the ingredients needed to make a famous dish, a dish that I love the most as well as a dish that I'm most proficient in."

Gu Xiangling naturally knew about this dish, but she had never tasted its most authentic flavor.

The materials used to make the wall were complex, and the production process was slow and lengthy. All the ingredients were added into the pot and then slowly boiled for a few hours. Fang could smell the lingering strong fragrance.

Gu Xiangling had originally thought that she would be able to eat this dish for lunch, but Shu Qingcheng said, "It's not time yet, the taste won't be good."

He waited patiently until sunset before he finally got out of the pot.

After a long time of simmering, all kinds of food had been mixed together. Having a spoonful of it, taste and alcohol, salty with sweetness, meat but not greasy.

Faced with such a delicious dish, Gu Xiangling couldn't be bothered to eat too much. She ate a bowl of it in one go, feeling that her lips and teeth were still fragrant with an endless aftertaste.

Shu Qingcheng's gaze was as gentle as the first ray of the spring sun as he stared at her. Gu Xiangling suddenly saw the unease in his eyes, and quickly lowered his head, pretending he didn't see it.

"This is the life I've always yearned for," Shu Qingcheng gently stirred the spoon in his bowl, his tone filled with boundless satisfaction. "Every day, you'll personally cook the dishes you like, sit in a warm and welcoming home, and slowly savor them with your loved ones."

Hearing the last few words, Gu Xiangling looked up in alarm. He had already said it so clearly that she couldn't pretend that she didn't know. "Shu Qingcheng!" she shouted.

Shu Qingcheng's face darkened as he mumbled, "Do you really have to call me by my full name? "You aren't even willing to call his 'Qingcheng'?"

"Isn't that something only close companions can call out?" Gu Xiangling put down her bowl. She knew that refusing someone's love was a very cruel thing. However, she, Gu Xiangling, was not the kind of person who liked to be flirtatious and treat men as backup.

Not only that, a character like Shu Qingcheng was fated to only be friends. Ever since Gu Xiangling was a child, there had never been such a person like Shu Qingcheng in his dreams.

"Ling'er!" Shu Qingcheng abruptly reached out to grab Gu Xiangling's fingers. You know what? The time I spent with you is the happiest and most comfortable time of my life. "

Gu Xiangling slowly pulled back her hand, then said softly and firmly, "Sorry, I, I can't love you." She closed her eyes and a tear fell from the corner of her eye.

The three words, "Mang Qing Hui", slowly rose in his heart. In her life, she had fallen in love with someone deeply etched in her heart. However, because of the difference in status, she had nearly lost her life.

Later on, it was Song Mingjian again. Now, it was once again Shu Qingcheng. Why was it that every man she met was an outstanding person? Being loved by these people would bring him a lot of pressure.

"Sorry." Shu Qingcheng hurriedly apologized, feeling that he was being too abrupt. "How could any girl accept such a sudden confession?" Can you give me some time? "

Gu Xiangling rejected without thinking, "But I don't love people like you."

Shu Qingcheng smiled without a care, "When everyone is single, they always set a set of conditions for their ideal partner. But when you really fall in love with someone, those conditions automatically disappear. "

His words were filled with confidence, and he could tell that he was determined to win Gu Xiangling.

After dinner, it was the time when the stars and moon were shining. A curved crescent moon bloomed alone between the dark blue sky and the shattered stars. Its elegant radiance covered everything with a pure silver veil.

Both of Shu Qingcheng's hands rested on the windowsill as she stood by the window, gazing at the stars and the moon. Her eyes flashed with a tranquil and gentle feeling. Gu Xiangling leaned against the sofa with a book in her hands as she read, while her eyes glanced at him from time to time.

It had to be said that even though he stood there motionlessly, it was also a very pleasing picture. His charm was completely different from Song Mingjian. Even if Song Mingjian was standing still, there would still be a formless and powerful aura lingering around him. As for Shu Qingcheng, he was like a floating jade tree, causing others to feel relaxed and at peace.

Gu Xiangling's eyes scanned through the lines of words, a bit absent-minded.

"Would you like to go for a walk?" Suddenly, Shu Qingcheng spoke. Gu Xiangling raised her head and asked, "Now?"

"Yes!" Shu Qingcheng nodded his head and resolutely said, "I can't just hide in the shell for my whole life and watch my freedom until I can't get it."

He made an elegant gesture of invitation towards Gu Xiangling, his face shining with fervent desire. Gu Xiangling had no way to refuse, and could only inwardly sigh at the hypnotism of this person. She was able to make people uncontrollably listen to him.

In order to prevent others from recognizing his, Shu Qingcheng had also put on his sunglasses and high-collared clothes. He purposely chose the streets with sparsely populated streets. The night breeze was breezing, blowing the salty smell of the sea.

In the distance, the faint sound of waves hitting the beach could be heard. Looking far into the distance, one could vaguely see the flashing lights of the lighthouses. Looking at this scene, Gu Xiangling felt a few traces of melancholy rise in her heart. Where was the beacon of guidance in her life?

The two of them walked slowly, occasionally whispering to each other. At first, Gu Xiangling was still a little nervous. If she ran into that fanatical fan and recognized Shu Qingcheng, she would be in deep trouble.

Fortunately, after walking for some distance, no one recognized him. Only then did Gu Xiangling heave a sigh of relief. She looked at Shu Qingcheng with a look of relief.

Gu Xiangling was distracted and didn't pay attention to her feet. She accidentally stepped on a piece of watermelon peel and screamed. She couldn't control her body and pounced forward. Shu Qingcheng was quick to notice as she stretched out her hands to pull her back with all her might.

His fingers were long and firm. Due to his excessive strength, he squeezed Gu Xiangling's arm so hard that it hurt. However, he didn't let her fall. "Thank you!" She tried to break free of his grasp, but Shu Qingcheng only slightly relaxed her grip, not letting go of her.

"Let me go!" Gu Xiangling said coldly. This action of Shu Qingcheng's caused her to feel extremely disgusted. "On the streets, what do you mean by pulling and pulling?"

The smile on Shu Qingcheng's face gradually disappeared. Despite the reluctance in his heart, he still let go of her. Even the simplest of body contact cannot be done? "

As soon as he finished speaking, he looked around warily, his gaze like a vigilant little beast. A long-established sixth sense reminded him that someone was watching and tracking him.

She looked around but couldn't see a single soul. Shu Qingcheng was even more uneasy. For them to be able to come and go without a trace, it seemed that this was a professional paparazzi team.

Sad surfaced in his heart. Tomorrow's entertainment news would definitely be headlines, but it would definitely be him. In the entertainment circle, the people who were involved in this were truly pitiful. Just a little bit of carelessness had caused him to appear on the headlines, causing all kinds of rumors to spread.
