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

Gu Yuning is actually not tall.

If you ignore her imposing presence, she's really just a petite girl with a slender figure, a small oval face, and less than 1.6 meters tall.

Supported by the other person, and with occasional gentle touches, Lin Zhou felt that the other person was far more well-endowed than he had imagined.

After helping Lin Zhou to the sofa, Gu Yuning brought the ingredients back in, then skillfully walked into the kitchen and tied on an apron, acting as if she were the lady of the house, without any sense of unfamiliarity.

"Lin Zhou, what did you have for lunch?" Gu Yuning asked.

"Um, I ordered a nutritional meal."

"A nutritious meal...is that it?" Gu Yuning's gaze fell on the trash can not far away, where the wrappers of hamburgers and fries lay quietly.

Lin Zhou held up one finger and said, "Oh, that? Aren't hamburgers pretty nutritious?"

"Yes, a plain beef burger is nutritious without sauce, but fries are not at all," Gu Yuning said calmly after a moment's thought.

"You just had surgery, so it's best to eat more easily digestible foods, and make sure to include vegetables in your diet."

Just then, Merlin came over and burrowed around Gu Yuning's feet like a large, fluffy dumpling.

"You've gained weight again, Merlin." Gu Yuning said, turning and going into the kitchen to start cooking.

"Dinner will be ready soon, so you can sit on the sofa and play on your phone for a while."

Everything happened so naturally, giving Lin Zhou the feeling of his mother coming home to cook.

How subtle.

To be honest, Lin Zhou's own mother wasn't good at cooking either.

Lin Zhou, of course, couldn't sit on the sofa and play on his phone. He propped himself up and went to the kitchen, where he saw Gu Yuning already preparing the dishes.

Her hair fell loosely, her bangs swaying gently as she prepared food. The warm light fell on her face, softening her serious expression.

"What's wrong?" Gu Yuning asked without looking up.

"How should I put it, seeing you cook for me always feels a bit strange," Lin Zhou said, scratching his head.

"I'll come whenever I have time," Gu Yuning said, pausing before adding, "This is support from the student council."

Does it receive support from the student council?

"It would be great if you, Yu Ning, could give me special support," Lin Zhou said with a smile. "After all, we haven't had a proper conversation in years."

Gu Yuning: "..."

"You could also consider it as special support from me."

"Um?"

"Go out and wait for me in your room. Since you're injured, don't wander around," Gu Yuning said coldly. "I hope you recover soon."

"Oh..." Lin Zhou could only limp away.

After the sound faded into the distance, Gu Yuning's tense shoulders seemed to relax a lot.

Lin Zhou returned to his bedside, sat down, and rested for a while. He looked around and finally picked up the X-ray glasses—initially, he wanted to check on Gu Yuning's cooking, but after thinking about it, he put them down.

I don't know why, but it's fine with Wanwan, Keke, or even Xiaoyu, but I can't seem to use Yu Ning critically.

I have a strange sense of immorality about it.

He picked up his phone, opened the app, and began to check the other party's information.

Character: Gu Yuning

Favorability: 83+

Appearance: 97

Stamina: 55

Wisdom: 85

Status: Currently working hard to cook delicious meals and thinking about tomorrow's ingredients.

[New player task: Try giving the other person a gift!]

Reward: Injury+

Huh?

Why did my favorability rating increase?

After reading Gu Yuning's information, Lin Zhou couldn't help but check Ye Zhiyu's information, because he hadn't seen that guy for several days.

Character: Ye Zhiyu

Favorability: 33+

Status: Bankrupt, accidentally lost my phone, hiding under a bridge preparing for wilderness survival.

Are you about to embark on a wilderness survival adventure?! Oh, you've lost your phone?!

"I guess I'll have to ask someone to go find her." Lin Zhou was thinking about whether to tell Ye Zhiyu's father about this. Since Xiaoyu had quarreled with her mother, it seemed like a good idea for her father to step in and mediate.

Just as Lin Zhou was having a headache, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Please come in."

The door was pushed open, and Gu Yuning walked in carrying a plate. After seeing Lin Zhou sitting obediently on the edge of the bed, she simply said, "Lie down with your back against the headboard."

"oh oh."

Gu Yuning prepared a vegetable and meat porridge, a stir-fried vegetable dish, and a steamed egg dish, all of which looked easy to digest.

After placing the plate on the bedside table, Gu Yuning noticed the photo frame on it.

"You still kept it," Gu Yuning said after seeing the group photo.

"right."

Gu Yuning didn't say much, but simply picked up the bowl, gently blew on the meat porridge with a spoon, and then touched it with her lips to feel the temperature.

After doing all this, she leaned forward and, to Lin Zhou's surprise, handed him the spoon, saying, "Ah."

"this……"

"What's wrong?"

"You just touched it with your mouth," Lin Zhou said.

"Really? I just wanted to test the temperature." Gu Yuning lowered her eyes slightly. "Then I'll go get a different spoon."

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant, thank you," Lin Zhou said immediately. "I can do it myself."

After saying that, Lin Zhou showed his hand, "I still have one hand that can move."

"No, open your mouth obediently."

"Okay." Gu Yuning was very close, and Lin Zhou could even see her focused eyes and long eyelashes trembling.

With the girl feeding him, Lin Zhou finished a bowl of meat porridge and all the other dishes. It tasted great, and he felt warm all over.

"How does it taste?"

"It's delicious."

"That's good." Gu Yuning was relieved and cleaned up the dishes.

"I feel like you've changed a lot, Yuning," Lin Zhou couldn't help but say.

"What has changed?"

"How should I put it? I've become very reliable and mature... just like my older sister," Lin Zhou said.

In his memory, Gu Yuning was actually a slow starter who often messed things up and was prone to crying.

"I'll take what you said as a compliment." Gu Yuning pursed her lips and smiled.

After cleaning up the dishes, Gu Yuning also washed Lin Zhou's old clothes and tidied up the room.

Gu Yuning glanced at the time; it was already evening. "Well then, I'll head back now."

"Okay..." Lin Zhou said, "Thank you, Yu Ning, you're so kind."

"You're welcome," Gu Yuning replied calmly. She reached out and touched Lin Zhou's hair before turning and leaving the room. "Get some rest."

She closed the door.

Gu Yuning stood motionless, while Merlin at her feet stood with its tail held high, its big eyes wide open and head tilted, "Meow?"

The girl's shoulders gradually relaxed, and finally her face flushed red. She cupped her face in her hands as if steam were rising from it, her beautiful eyes glistening with tears.

"..."

She stomped her feet in small steps, cupped her face as if trying to suppress a scream, and finally excitedly rushed downstairs.

"Meow?" Merlin was a little confused.
