I downloaded the app and discovered that my childhood sweetheart's affection level had skyrocke

The wind is blowing just right.

The leaves drifted through the sunlight, and the dappled light fell on the glass window like tiny fish, and also on the girl not far away.

Gu Yuning stood there.

She wasn't wearing the uniform of Yinshan Academy, nor were she dressed in overly mature clothes. She was simply wearing a soft, light-colored knitted sweater with loosely draped sleeves that covered half of her wrists. Her plaid skirt was gently lifted by the wind, making her look as if she had stepped out of the afternoon light.

Lin Zhou didn't even recognize him for a moment. Most people have experienced this feeling: when a familiar person changes their look or puts on makeup, they can't recognize them at a glance.

When Lin Zhou was very young, his grandfather was still alive and always bald. One day, he suddenly came to take him out to play wearing a wig, which made Lin Zhou think that he was about to be kidnapped by human traffickers.

Gu Yuning also saw him.

She was initially quite calm, but the moment she met Lin Zhou's gaze, her fingers visibly paused for a moment, then she acted as if nothing had happened and slowly tucked the strands of hair behind her ear.

The tips of her ears turned red.

"Yu Ning, how long have you been here?" Lin Zhou asked.

"I just arrived not long ago." Gu Yuning said, walking up to Lin Zhou. Although she tried to appear calm and natural, her attire at the moment gave her no intention of doing so.

She was petite with slender legs, and only slightly taller than Lin Zhou's shoulder when standing in front of him.

Lin Zhou could easily place his chin on the other person's head; it was the perfect height, and the two seemed to fit together perfectly.

"You look great in your clothes today," Lin Zhou said with a smile. "They suit your style even better."

Gu Yuning stared at Lin Zhou for a while, then suddenly reached out and gently brushed aside his bangs. Afterward, she withdrew her hand, trying to maintain a mature demeanor, but couldn't help chuckle. She then put her hands behind her back and leaned slightly forward.

"Let's go, Lin Zhou."

"Um."

Lin Zhou had actually chosen a place and planned to take her to the equestrian center for a while, but Gu Yuning preferred to take a walk on a nearby street and didn't even want to take a car.

"Let's have lunch first, and then we'll go see a movie," Lin Zhou said.

"Okay," Gu Yuning said, "I'll do as you say."

Being by Lin Zhou's side, especially now that they were alone, Gu Yuning was no longer as aloof as before. She didn't put on her usual serious face and seemed to be in a good mood, even her steps were lighter.

No one would connect the Gu Yuning from Yinshan Academy with the Gu Yuning of today.

The two strolled slowly side by side, their hands occasionally brushing against each other as their bodies swayed naturally. Like an electric current, it made Gu Yuning's lips seem to be suppressing something.

"Thank you for making us breakfast today," Lin Zhou said. "It was delicious."

"I was just helping out, did your aunt tell you that?"

"No, it's delicious. I could tell just by tasting it," Lin Zhou laughed. "Your cooking is so good, I could tell just by the taste..."

"I really like it; it's just like a master chef's cooking."

"That's an exaggeration. It's just ordinary ingredients and ordinary cooking methods. It's nowhere near the level of a master chef." Gu Yuning was happy to be praised, but she didn't show much emotion. She just kept tucking her hair behind her ears to hide her feelings.

"Lin Zhou".

"Um?"

Do you think I'm suited to be a good wife?

"...?" Lin Zhou was stunned for a moment. He turned to look at Gu Yuning, but found that Gu Yuning was not looking at him. It was as if she was asking a question casually.

"You're so good at taking care of people, of course... So, Yu Ning, you want to be a good wife?"

"Is that not allowed?" Gu Yuning asked, looking down. "Isn't it a very ordinary dream?"

"..." Lin Zhou said, "No, I think it's amazing."

"Is that amazing?"

"Well, I don't really know how to say it. Think about it, our parents are always so busy, how can they find the time to manage the household and take care of the children..." Lin Zhou said.

"Yu Ning, a home won't magically become warm on its own."

"Food can't cook by itself, clothes can't be washed by itself, children can't grow up on their own, and they certainly won't learn to be strong when they're sad."

"A home is something that gradually becomes a home when someone puts their time, patience, and a part of their life into it."

"How can something be useless if it makes someone feel safe and warm when they think of going back home after a long day out?"

"If someone could be taken care of by Yu Ning, they would definitely be incredibly happy."

Gu Yuning stared blankly at Lin Zhou for a while, then suddenly chuckled softly, "I have a feeling..."

"You make it sound so amazing."

"Truthfully," Lin Zhou laughed.

Gu Yuning suddenly paused and glanced behind her.

"What's wrong?"

"It's okay... let's go eat first."

"Um."

Arriving at the nearby commercial street, I noticed that there were many couples there on the weekend, most of them walking hand in hand.

"Give it to me." Lin Zhou reached out to help Gu Yuning with her bag.

"Just store it here." Gu Yuning put her handbag in the storage box, but her gaze fell on the couples walking side by side.

"What's wrong?"

"When we walk together like this, don't we look a bit like a couple?" Gu Yuning asked.

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhou naturally noticed the couples as well. He smiled faintly and extended his arm, saying, "It would be even more like it if you held my arm."

The next second, my elbow was gently pressed against something.

Lin Zhou was taken aback, realizing that Gu Yuning was holding his arm. He could clearly feel the warmth emanating from her arm. "Like this?"

When they got close, Lin Zhou realized how petite Gu Yuning was. Her face seemed even smaller than Wanwan's, but she usually had such a strong aura that it was impossible to tell.

The current Gu Yuning is quite similar to the girl I remember.

In the past, Yu Ning also liked to hug Lin Zhou's arm like this.

After regaining his senses, Lin Zhou nodded, "Mm."

"...How does it feel?"

"As for my feelings..." Lin Zhou said, "Although Yu Ning is petite, you have a great figure."

"..." Gu Yuning hugged her a little tighter. "Then let's leave it at that for now."

The atmosphere became a little awkward, as if pink bubbles were appearing all around.

Gu Yuning realized that she had taken the initiative, and when she calmed down, all sorts of shameful feelings welled up, making her neck turn completely red.

But she tried her best to remain calm, saying, "Let's go eat first, it's almost lunchtime."

"Okay," Lin Zhou said.

The two found a suitable restaurant and went inside. Just as they entered, two more figures followed them in.
