Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng

Chapter 403 Everything Starts Anew

Later, he wrote two more pages explaining that during his serious injury he thought he was going to go blind permanently, so he pretended to have amnesia. He even went so far as to say that he only remembered Chen Xia to hurt her, just to force her to back down so that she wouldn't have to take care of a blind man like him. But he and Chen Xia had no relationship, etc.

Why would she want him to say all this?

These are all things she knows.

If she didn't know all this, did he really think he could still step into this house?

She guessed it, and later confirmed it.

She even guessed more than he wrote in his letter—why was he so certain he would die on that mission? Wasn't that a secret only she knew? That black date, the one she marked…

Or is he the same?

He didn't say.

However, whether it is true or not is not so important anymore, just like she never told him about her life.

Start all over again.

When Gu Juncheng brought out the steamed meat patties from the kitchen, Lin Qingping sat there with a book, not turning a single page. She had already eaten a little more than half of a plate of grapes, leaving the grape skins on a side dish. Now, while staring at the book, she reached into the grape skin dish, picked up a grape skin, and was putting it in her mouth.

"Lin Qingping!" he quickly stopped her.

Lin Qingping looked up and realized she had been so distracted that she was completely confused!

He quickly tossed the grape shells aside, somewhat embarrassed, "I... got so engrossed in reading."

"Hmm." Let's just assume she's captivated by it. "Time to eat."

Lin Qingping said "Oh," put down her book, and with the mindset that "as long as I'm not embarrassed, it's others who are embarrassed," she quickly took the initiative and asked Gu Juncheng to rate his steamed meatloaf.

Actually, it's not bad.

After all, this dish doesn't require much skill. Then, he brought out a bowl of tomato and egg soup, which served as today's vegetable dish.

Lin Qingping didn't know how Gu Juncheng was doing, but she herself was a bit dazed and confused, her mind a jumbled mess. She let him put a bowl of rice in front of her and let her cut the meat pie on the table in half, one half for each of them.

After he said "Eat," we started eating together.

Lin Qingping didn't feel anything at first, but after starting to eat, she actually became a little hungry.

I had lunch with Meili, and I was completely focused on him. Meili ate heartily, but she wasn't very full. She thought he wouldn't go home in the afternoon and stayed in the shop for several hours, so she must be hungry now.

The two were eating when the door lock clicked, and someone came in.

"Dad, Mom, you're both home? Eating so early?" Zhiyuan, a primary school student, is very active. He was overjoyed to see food when he came in and went straight to the kitchen to get some.

Gu Juncheng and Lin Qingping suddenly looked up and stared at each other, then glanced at the mooncakes on the table, which had already been divided in half...

Zhiyuan brought out the rice, "What dishes are we having today...?"

Before he could finish speaking, he discovered that apart from a bowl of egg drop soup without any eggs, nothing else was served on the table…

“You…how could you…” Gu Juncheng stammered.

"Shut up!" Lin Qingping snapped at Gu Juncheng, feeling incredibly guilty. She'd been daydreaming, completely forgetting what time it was and that Zhiyuan would be home from school soon. "Your dad's cooking isn't very good; he can only cook so much. Mom'll go make you something delicious right now..."

Lin Qingping tried to make amends, but there was no need. Zhiyuan quickly breathed a sigh of relief, "Dad Gu made it! Never mind then, you two can eat it yourselves! Mom, what delicious food are you going to make for me?"

Lin Qingping thought for a moment, "You'll find out in a bit. I'll go to the kitchen first."

Gu Juncheng watched Lin Qingping's figure disappear into the kitchen before saying to Zhiyuan, "Your mother and I aren't..."

"Hey, I know you two well! If you two could do this every day, I'd cook!" Zhiyuan waved his hand and pushed the remaining dishes on the table towards Gu Juncheng. "Dad Gu, you worked hard cooking, eat more!"

Gu Juncheng snorted, "Do you think I don't know what you're thinking? Do you want me to eat more now so I don't have to fight with you for your mom's cooking later?"
