In an instant, all eyes on the two were focused on the two.

"They're such a perfect match, like a divine couple."

"That's right. I heard that the two of them even participated in flood relief efforts together, which made it into the newspapers and was seen by people all over the world."

"Shen Lu in the past was probably just being reckless and not thinking things through. But this time she's figured it out and will definitely live a good life with Commander Gu."

"Who says otherwise? Look how lucky those two chubby boys are."

A sound of something falling to the ground came from not far away. Shen Lu caught a glimpse of Wen Xin'er out of the corner of her eye. She looked embarrassed. The food she had brought for her uncle had spilled all over the ground, making her look quite disheveled.

A hint of a smile appeared in Shen Lu's eyes.

The people around them started talking again when they saw this.

"You're such a grown-up, yet you're still so clumsy, you even spill your food."

"Yeah, she's wearing a white dress just like Shen Lu, but I don't know where she bought it, the design is so bad, it looks bland and tasteless on her."

"Don't even mention it. I heard she's not having an easy time at her uncle's house either. It'll be hard to explain if she brings this food back home."

The whispers of those around her were like sharp blades piercing Wenxin'er's heart.

Unable to bear such humiliation, she turned to run away, but Zhuang Xiaoting grabbed her arm.

Zhuang Xiaoting was furious; she was determined to save face for her good friend.

"Xin'er prepared a song to sing for everyone, but she was so excited that she accidentally spilled her food, right, Xin'er?"

Wenxin'er was a renowned singer throughout the entire school. Whenever there was an event, all the boys in the school would inquire about Wenxin'er's name and class after her performance.

Therefore, Zhuang Xiaoting's idea was simple: as long as Wenxin sang a song, her beautiful voice would instantly attract everyone's attention.

But she clearly overlooked the resistance in Wenxin'er's eyes.

She's completely lost her mind and has no interest in singing here anymore.

I just wanted to go home and hide, and figure out how to deal with my aunt's questioning.

And then there's Shen Lu, who made things difficult for me; I'll definitely not let her get away with it.

Wenxin waved her hand and refused, saying, "No, no, I'll show everyone another day."

After saying that, he pulled Zhuang Xiaoting to leave.

However, what Zhuang Xiaoting said earlier had already attracted everyone's attention. They were all young men, and when they heard that a young girl was willing to sing and perform for them...

They all excitedly gathered together and started making a ruckus.

"Sing one, sing one."

"That's right, she's so pretty, her singing voice must be amazing."

"Don't be shy, this is a new society, singing is nothing."

Seeing that more and more people were gathering around, Wenxin had no choice but to grit her teeth and sing.

A great river flows wide.

The fragrance of rice blossoms wafts through the air on both banks of the river.

My family lives on the shore.

Having grown accustomed to the boatman's calls,

Having grown accustomed to the white sails on ships…

Although Wenxin was a little nervous and her high notes cracked several times, and some of the tunes were off-key, overall it was passable.

Many people have heard this song and joined in the chorus, creating a peaceful atmosphere, which also helped Wenxin relax.

After the song ended, thunderous applause erupted in the audience.

Wenxin'er finally smiled, and thankfully, it attracted a lot of attention, allowing her to win the game.

But as soon as he turned around, Gu Xiao's gaze didn't linger on him for even a second.

Wenxin'er immediately felt a deep sense of frustration.

Soon, she came up with an idea.

"I've heard that Sister Shen has a beautiful singing voice. I wonder if you could sing a song for us?"

Wenxin looked at Shen Lu with a smile. With so many people watching, she definitely couldn't refuse. Someone who had never sung before would definitely be timid if she sang in public, and there was a high probability that she wouldn't sing well.

Unexpectedly, Shen Lu directly refused.

"cannot."

The air fell silent for a moment.

"I'm sorry, I don't have the habit of singing in public. But since Wen Tongzhi likes it, I'll sing a few more songs."

After speaking, she turned her head and met Gu Xiao's wicked eyes, clearly realizing that her words had been seen by the man.

Shen Lu was open and honest, and didn't think there was anything wrong with rejecting someone in public.

Instead, Wenxin was supported and had no choice but to sing one song after another.

Gu Xiao turned around and looked around. Those around him, receiving a slightly threatening look from Gu Xiao, immediately lowered their heads and continued with their training.

"I brought you a roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) and mung bean porridge."

Considering that Gu Xiao needed to wash his hands, Shen Lu specially brought two water bottles, one filled with chilled mung bean porridge and the other filled with water from the water bottle for Gu Xiao to use to wash his hands.

After washing his hands, Gu Xiao patted the two little ones' heads and took the roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) from Shen Lu's hand.

Shen Lu's roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) bursts with juice with every bite, and the chili peppers inside are refreshing and help to cut through the greasiness. Gu Xiao, who had been working in the fields for most of the day, was starving and ate five in one go!

"Here's some mung bean porridge; have some to cool down."

There was no shade on the training ground, and Shen Lu's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat after standing in the sun for only a short while.

Not to mention Gu Xiao, who worked under the sun for most of the day.

After a bowl of refreshing and delicious mung bean porridge, the summer heat is instantly relieved by more than half.

Shen Lu is a very good cook; even a simple bowl of mung bean porridge tastes better than what others make.

Shen Lu washed the bowl she carried with her with clean water, and brought a roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) and a bowl of mung bean porridge to He Cunguang, her good brother who had always followed Gu Xiao.

"How can I do that, sister-in-law?" He Cunguang refused with an embarrassed expression.

"Eat up. You've helped me a lot around the house, and I've never had a chance to thank you. Come over to my house another day, and I'll show you my skills."

Shen Lu's words were so impeccable that He Cunguang couldn't refuse any longer. He took the roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) and started eating.

Finally, he drank the mung bean porridge in one gulp. The cool taste made his eyes clearer.

"It seems that Comrade Shen really wants to live a life with Gu Xiao," Lu Jianguo said with a look of satisfaction and emotion.

After returning home, Gu Xiao helped prepare the dishes, and Shen Lu simply cooked two dishes and a soup.

Stir-fried mutton with scallions, stir-fried water spinach, and spicy soup.

This was the second time Gu Xiao had tasted Shen Lu's cooking. The dishes were the simplest home-style dishes, but they tasted exceptionally delicious in Shen Lu's hands.

Although Gu Xiao didn't offer any verbal praise, the fact that he ate three bowls of rice in one go while his head was covered was enough to prove everything.

The father and his two sons cleaned up the two dishes and soup on the table thoroughly.

Shen Lu had finished translating her previous classic work, and today she received a new classic from the translation institute. This book was very well written, and Shen Lu became so engrossed in reading it that by the time she came to her senses, it was already completely dark.

Shen Lu then realized it was time to go to sleep.

As Shen Lu recalled the contents of the book, she walked towards the shower room.

Completely unaware of the pattering sound of water inside.

When Shen Lu opened the shower room door.

The scent of male hormones mixed with moisture wafted towards me.

The tall man was standing in the small shower room when he heard the sound and slowly turned around.

Water droplets slid slowly down his bronze skin, from his chest muscles, past his well-defined abs, and down his V-line.

Shen Lu was completely taken aback to see this scene, and her eyes widened in surprise.
