Chapter 7

Mr. You, I apologize for startling you just now; I sneezed.

After returning home, Shen Qian was already soaked. According to the weather forecast, the high temperature today was thirty-eight degrees. As soon as Shen Qian got home, she took off her wet clothes and, feeling too lazy to climb the stairs, put on an apron and went straight into the kitchen

I was surprised to find cockroaches in my home; the sanitation is unacceptable. I will call the housekeeping company to file a complaint

Shen Qian ignored her and continued walking. She enjoyed being like a turtle, just seeing the world was enough; when she felt it was about time, she would retreat into her shell and linger there, which she valued more than anything. Shen Qian hummed this thought over and over in her mind

Shen Qian was packing her bag, preparing to go to the market to buy groceries. Shen Qian glanced at her and said, "You don't understand, one becomes soft when eating from others' hands"

"I don't think so. Are you feeling sorry for the handsome man in that villa? You can't bear to see him go hungry, can you?" Li Meili said with a sidelong glance, dripping with sarcasm. Shen Qian cast a disdainful glance at her, too lazy to respond, and continued to pack her things, preparing to leave.

Suddenly, You Ran was jolted awake, calling out in a fluster, "Qianqian." On the other side of the hall, Qianqian, who was playing, came running on all fours and rubbed against his feet. Seeing this scene, Shen Qian couldn't help but feel helpless; why did he always call her "Qianqian"? He really couldn't do without her

You Ran smiled and nodded. This man, even though blind, still maintained a noble elegance. Shen Qian could not help but admire this man, making his blindness all the more regrettable.

Qin Hao ... . ... These two characters felt suddenly unfamiliar to Shen Qian. She had only spent one summer with him, and she could count on her fingers the number of times she had mentioned his name, yet this person remained unforgettable to her

You Ran chuckled, saying: "The character of the 'and' and the 'star' in the book is so different."

Shen Qian was taken aback, her face alternating between pale and flushed. Could it be that he knew she was only wearing underwear beneath the apron? That seemed too outrageous. As Shen Qian thought this, she made various faces at You Ran, but You Ran's expression remained unchanged, unaffected by her antics.

Now, even with men around, they remain unseen. Shen Qian happily plans to continue lounging at home in the future

Li Meili saw through her insincerity, "What? Still thinking about 'white and tender'?"

Um... Shen Qian felt a tightness in her chest; in fact, she was quite curious about how his "her" had responded. However, the man before her seemed to have emerged from his melancholy, no longer inclined to indulge in nostalgia.

You Ran is indeed very thin. Li Meili once said that You Ran's figure was quite perfect in the past. Although he was also thin, he gave off an impression of being tall and strong, which made girls feel an involuntary sense of security akin to that of a little bird relying on its partner. However, You Ran is really very thin now; his chin has become very pointed, and his cheekbones are no longer full. Although his overall appearance remains handsome, it is supported solely by his distinctive facial features. The beauty he exudes no longer conveys the sense of security associated with a soldier, but rather resembles that of a delicate and beautiful youth.

Shen Qian took precautions for herself; it is acceptable to feel sympathy for him, but she must never fall in love with him

You Ran suddenly smiled again, "What do you think of this piece after listening to it?"

She smiled and said, "What is there to fear? No man can see it."

Li Meili noticed Shen Qian's absent-minded appearance and sighed, "Where do you think Qin Hao is now?"

His tall figure sat on the chair, and his emaciated silhouette caused a deep sense of heartache in Shen Qian. Suddenly, she felt that this man was very lonely, or perhaps he had to seek solitude and immerse himself in books, standing at the ends of the earth, reminiscing about his past.

Shen Qian came down and found You Ran sitting by the piano, tapping a few notes with her index finger in a sporadic manner. Shen Qian did not understand musical instruments and was unsure if this was a prelude; she only saw You Ran smiling. Initially using a single finger, she then switched to both hands, gently pressing the egg-shaped touch on the black and white keys, followed by a succession of melodies that emerged one after another. Shen Qian did not recognize this piece; she had never heard it before. She could only stand quietly at a distance, listening intently.

The oppressive heat that Shen Qian had finally begun to dissipate suddenly returned due to You Ran's abrupt arrival, causing her to break out in a cold sweat and let out a loud scream. You Ran immediately rushed over, asking, "What happened?"

Sigh, Shen Qian let out a breath of relief, thankful that nothing was seen.

Very good. Shen Qian answered directly without a second thought

Shen Qian remained silent, feeling a heaviness in her chest. In retrospect, she realized how foolish she truly was. She could not understand why she fell in love at first sight with that young man. Was it because of the way he casually tucked his hands into his pockets while walking his dog, or the occasional unnatural flush that appeared on his fair face? Or perhaps it was that smile, reminiscent of something familiar, warming her heart from within

Li Meili, seeing Shen Qian being so diligent, couldn't help but feel displeased, "Do you really need to work so hard?"

Shen Qian shook her head in anger and glared, "Li Meili, are you intentionally trying to make me unhappy?"

Silence is taken as agreement? Li Meili pouted, "Ah, your type of boy hasn't changed, has it? Haven't you suffered enough back then?"

For some reason, Shen Qian always felt that his face bore a hint of familiarity. The bangs hung over his forehead, moving as if stirred by an unseen wind, yet Shen Qian still noticed him frowning, as if he were not sleeping very soundly.

"Don't say that, m.hetushu.com!" Shen Qian quickly interrupted, "I just misread it; that wasn't a cockroach, it was the red chili pepper I just chopped."

There is no way; at home, there are two dogs and one person waiting for her. If she does not go to cook, they will have nothing to eat.

As the dishes were served, upon seeing You Ran at the dining table, Shen Qian was unsure whether to cry or laugh. He leaned on the seat and quietly fell asleep, his long eyelashes gently fluttering. His high nose bridge formed a beautiful line, smoothly leading to his lips, which were plump and slightly parted, exuding both cuteness and a hint of sensuality.

Ah? Shen Qian furrowed her brows, as she could not understand what this man was saying. You Ran suddenly stood up, her expression brightening, "Let's go eat."

This is my first time for her piece

Shen Qian cast a glance at Li Meili and said, "Will he die if you don't mention him?"

She immediately pretended to be calm, coughed lightly, and said, "It's nothing. I just saw a cockroach."

You Ran chuckled lightly and walked straight out. Shen Qian watched his back, patted her chest, thinking that even if she were to strip off her clothes in front of him, he still wouldn't know what was happening. With this thought, Shen Qian began to secretly enjoy herself. In summer, the less one wears, the better. Back at home, she loved to wander around in just her triangle panties and a tank top. Her mother would say, "Girls should be modest."

As the piece concluded, Shen Qian quickly applauded and walked over to him, smiling as she asked, "What is the name of this piece?"

Li Meili understands Shen Qian very well. She said that if she doesn't like someone, then she definitely doesn't like them. Only then did Li Meili feel relieved, "You should hurry up and find a man to marry, so I won't have to worry all the time."

Ah Qie... Shen Qian brushed her index finger under her nose and sniffed.

"The picture book is good," Shen Qian said, pursing her lips and murmuring, "You eat first, I will change my clothes and come down."

You Ran suddenly stood up, slowly walked to the sofa, fumbled for the remote control on the coffee table, and lowered the air conditioning cooling setting a bit, saying, "In the future, do not set it so low to avoid catching a cold."

He has lost so much weight, which must be caused by poor sleep. What is it that prevents him from falling asleep and makes his sleep so restless

The surrounding cold air assaulted Shen Qian's "bare" body, and the heat on Shen Qian had almost dissipated. Suddenly, she shivered and sneezed.

You Ran raised her eyebrows, said nothing further, merely nodded before turning to leave. Just as she was about to depart, she suddenly turned back and said in a very light tone: "In the future, don't make such a fuss; you weren't scared to death, but I almost was."

I am sorry. Shen Qian felt deeply apologetic

Shen Qian blinked, unsure of how to respond

Forget it, she should just mind her own business

Shen Qian was taken aback for a moment, appearing somewhat awkward. "Ah, I am quite ignorant and have never heard of it, hehe." He chuckled foolishly a few times, but seeing that You Ran did not have his usual smile, he could not bring himself to laugh either. He reluctantly put away his smile and asked, "What is wrong with you?"

"It smells so good. Today there is a new dish again," Yu Ran suddenly said with a smile, half leaning against the door.

First time

Is this a form of deep affection or a kind of stubbornness? Perhaps his feelings are an obsession that permeates his very bones, unwilling to let others touch it, nor willing to step out himself. The girl who is loved by him is the happiest, yet similarly, anyone who falls in love with such a man at this moment is destined for a tragic ending

You Ran furrowed his brows upon hearing this and questioned, "You should wear more clothes and *illustrated* books; you cannot be greedy for coolness"

The summer, characterized by the sweltering heat, continues unabated. Shen Qian must endure the scorching sun to go to work at noon. In truth, she wishes she could skip returning at midday. Although the hospital does not have a cafeteria, it does offer a dedicated hotline for ordering takeout. Generally, veterinarians on duty in the afternoon will order meals to resolve their lunch. However, Shen Qian chooses to brave the blistering sun to go to the market to buy groceries and cook back at Jiangxia Community.

"Shen Qian, that man is not suitable for you. His father is a commander, do you understand? He is the grandson of the wealthy Qin Zheng, coming from a family with both money and power. Do you think you will be happy?"

Igniting the stove to cook porridge, chopping vegetables and stir-frying, busy and thoroughly enjoying it

Shen Qian smiled lightly and let it go

Shen Qian actually understands very well that she is attracted to his appearance, fair and clean, with deep features, a mixed-race individual, whose smile seems like sunlight breaking through the darkness. She admits to being superficial, as the number of people who have a crush on Qin Hao due to his looks is countless; she could line them up to circle the Earth.

Shen Qian rolled her eyes and said, "I swear, I have no feelings for him at all, not even a little bit"

"Someone will die." Li Meili smiled crookedly, "A summer camp activity will make you forget him forever. Tell me, are you foolish or not?"

Shen Qian gently placed the dishes on the table, pulled out a chair to sit down, rested her head on her hands, and quietly gazed at him

"Don't... don't come over here." Shen Qian crossed her arms, her face burning bright red. Once she calmed down, she suddenly realized she had acted foolishly again. At that moment, she had boldly taken off her outer clothing, wearing only her underwear, precisely because she knew You Ran couldn't see her. So why was she screaming now?

Shen Qian picked up her backpack, preparing to leave. Li Meili called out from behind, "Hey, can you hide for a lifetime?"
