On a rainy night, the school beauty knocked on my door and asked for shelter

Seeing Chen Mo acting like a spoiled child, Su Yuqing didn't care at all that his head was resting on her sensitive area. Instead, she smiled gently and stroked the back of his head to comfort him.

She was unaware that Chen Mo had witnessed her entire pessimistic world, but she had come to understand how important she was to him.

Knowing this made her incredibly happy.

Feeling Su Yuqing's gentle caress, feeling her real touch, and sensing her clear breath, Chen Mo felt that it was wonderful to be able to live in this world.

The fact that she is simply living a normal life by my side is already the greatest luck and blessing God has given me in this life.

Holding him tightly, Chen Mo couldn't bear to let go for even a moment.

Su Yuqing, held in Chen Mo's arms, was equally reluctant to break free.

Time passed by, and the two did nothing but simply snuggle together, spending the entire afternoon together.

But for the two of them, it felt like only a moment had passed.

Chen Mo glanced at the sky and realized it was getting late. Only then did he reluctantly lift his head from the soft "pillow" that smelled of a special fragrance.

"Have you had a good night's sleep?" Su Yuqing looked at Chen Mo with affection.

Chen Mo noticed that Su Yuqing's attitude towards him seemed to have undergone a deeper change since he woke up from the dream.

Chen Mo couldn't quite put his finger on what exactly had changed, but he was still as gentle as ever, and his love was still as intense as ever.

But something feels different.

Actually, Su Yuqing was more inclined to take care of him.

Previously, Su Yuqing had passively enjoyed his care, which had gradually formed a habitual dependence.

However, after experiencing the dream, Su Yuqing had no way to express her heartache and care for Chen Mo, because she could not touch him or convey her comforting words to him.

Now back in reality, she projected all the love and pity she felt for Chen Mo in her dream into reality.

Naturally, her original love was now infused with an additional layer of tenderness.

This is also why Chen Mo feels that her current state has changed.

Compared to passively accepting Chen Mo's love before, she is now more proactive in loving him.

"What do you want to eat tonight?" Su Yuqing asked Chen Mo with a smile.

"Sure, whatever you want." Chen Mo smiled nonchalantly.

"No, what do you want to eat?" Su Yuqing stared at Chen Mo with her beautiful eyes, looking very serious.

"Then... tomato and egg noodles, please." Having experienced a feeling of being in another world, Chen Mo suddenly wanted to eat something sweet and sour to stimulate his taste buds and give himself a real sense of being alive.

"Okay, wait here obediently, I'll go make it." Su Yuqing cupped Chen Mo's cheeks, kissed him on the forehead, and then got up and went to the kitchen.

It wasn't until this moment that Chen Mo finally realized how Su Yuqing had changed.

She has become more assertive than before.

These actions were just like the ones he used to do to Su Yuqing.

Chen Mo felt a momentary sense of disorientation, but upon reflection, he found their current dynamic quite pleasant. Who doesn't enjoy being pampered by someone they love?

Men and women are the same.

The feeling of being immersed in love is like a poison that clings to the bone, making it difficult to extricate oneself.

Love is the sweetest "poison" in the world!
Watching Su Yuqing busy in the kitchen, Chen Mo's eyes filled with love, and he felt a surge of sweetness in his heart.

The life of a married couple is probably just like this.

Chen Mo couldn't help but think about the more distant future.

While watching TV and lost in thought, Chen Mo soon heard Su Yuqing's gentle call, "The noodles are ready, come over quickly."

On the dining table was a bowl of tomato and egg noodles with a very generous filling.

Besides tomatoes and eggs, this bowl of tomato and egg noodles is garnished with a few tender green leafy vegetables, a few finely chopped ham strips for added saltiness, and even a few plump shrimp nestled in the reddish broth. The noodles are distinct and soaked in the sweet and sour broth, and the rising steam carries an enticing aroma.

Chen Mo originally thought it was just ordinary tomato and egg noodles, but he didn't expect it to be a "deluxe upgraded version" that Su Yuqing had poured her heart and love into.

"Wow..." Chen Mo's eyes lit up, and he deliberately made an exaggerated sound as he laughed, "Yuqing, this is... way too lavish!"

He pulled out a chair, sat down, and took a deep breath near the bowl. The familiar sweet and sour tomato flavor, mixed with the aroma of eggs, shrimp, and ham, instantly whetted his appetite and made the feeling of "it's so good to be alive in this world" more concrete and warmer.

Su Yuqing took off her apron, sat down opposite him, rested her chin on her hand, and looked at him with a smile, her eyes so tender they seemed to drip with water.

"Try it, I added some ketchup, I don't know if it's flavorful enough."

Her words carried a mischievous smile, but her eyes were incredibly serious, a tenderness that blended indulgence and concern.

Chen Mo didn't resist being pampered by Su Yuqing at all; on the contrary, he enjoyed it immensely.

"Okay, I'm starting!" Chen Mo picked up his chopsticks, picked up a mouthful of noodles covered in soup, blew on it to cool it down, put it in his mouth, and then immediately took a sip of soup. He then tasted each of the ingredients.

The sweet and sour tomato soup is rich and appetizing, the runny egg is fried until tender, the noodles are chewy and smooth, the ham ribbon adds a savory flavor, and the bouncy and sweet shrimp is the perfect finishing touch.

The flavors blended perfectly, making it more delicious than any bowl of tomato and egg noodles Chen Mo could remember.

This is not just a taste pleasure, but also a comforting experience of being soothed by love.

"Mmm..." Chen Mo exclaimed indistinctly, his eyes narrowing with satisfaction. "Yuqing, your cooking is absolutely amazing! This is definitely the best tomato and egg noodles I've ever had!"

Seeing him eating with such happiness on his face, with even a little bit of bright red soup on the corner of his mouth, Su Yuqing's smile deepened, and her heart softened.

She picked up a tissue, casually reached across the table, and gently wiped away the soup stains for him.

"Eat slowly, no one's going to take it from you. Eat more if you like." Her movements were natural, as if taking care of him was her duty, carrying an unquestionable tenderness.

Chen Mo's heart was filled with joy by this small gesture.

Looking at Su Yuqing's gentle and focused profile under the lamplight, and at his reflection in her eyes, he felt that the tranquility and contentment he felt at this moment was the most precious treasure in the world.

At this moment, she made Chen Mo realize that she was not a flower that needed his careful protection, but a partner who could stand shoulder to shoulder with him and give him strong support and infinite warmth.

This mutual, more solid love filled Chen Mo with even deeper anticipation for the future. (End of Chapter)
