After the spiritual energy was restored: Goddess girlfriends came knocking.

The two walked out of the movie theater hand in hand.

The mall was bustling with people, and Ruoshui walked briskly beside her, humming the background music from the movie she had just watched.

Although she didn't really get into the movie, it didn't stop her from being in a good mood.

They passed a clothing store, and she pulled Lin Chu inside for a quick look. She picked up a light blue t-shirt, held it up against herself, and turned to look at him.

Lin Chu immediately nodded to indicate that it looked good, and then she smiled and asked the shop assistant to wrap it up.

She picked up another men's outfit of the same style, held it up against him, nodded in satisfaction, and bought it for him as well.

The two strolled around until evening, when it gradually got dark.

Ruoshui looked up at the horizon outside the window, which was dyed red by the setting sun, and then looked at Lin Chu beside her, who was carrying several shopping bags.

"Let's go home." She took Lin Chu's arm. "We'll have dinner at home."

"Order takeout?"

"You make it." Ruoshui looked up at him, her fox eyes sparkling. "I want to eat what you make yourself."

"OK."

Back at the villa, Ruoshui threw her shopping bags on the sofa and ran barefoot into the walk-in closet.

When she came out again, she had changed into casual clothes. She was wearing a newly bought white T-shirt, the hem of which barely covered her thighs, leaving her two fair and slender legs exposed.

She leaned against the kitchen door frame, crossed her arms, and tilted her head to watch Lin Chu tie her apron.

Lin Chu glanced back at her, her gaze lingering for a moment on her bare legs, before turning back expressionlessly to continue rummaging through the refrigerator.

Ruoshui caught that momentary pause and a smug smile appeared on her lips.

Lin Chu took out several ingredients she had bought earlier from the refrigerator: eggs, tomatoes, green peppers, a piece of pork tenderloin, and a bunch of small green vegetables.

He could easily turn ingredients into finished products with a simple gesture, but those dishes always felt like they lacked a certain soul.

Food needs to be cut and turned over piece by piece to truly bring out its flavor.

Ruoshui was watching from the side.

She had never seen Lin Chu cook.

Back in the Xuan Tian Realm, I was either served by the imperial chefs in the city lord's mansion or dealt with casually during military campaigns. Even during those years in the Jiang family mansion, I was cooked by maids.

Watching his back as he busied himself at the stove with his apron, Ruoshui felt that this scene was more beautiful than any scenery.

soon.

Three dishes and a soup were served.

Stir-fried tomatoes and eggs, shredded pork with green peppers, stir-fried bok choy, and a bowl of seaweed and egg drop soup.

These are all the most ordinary home-cooked dishes, steaming hot on the table, filling the entire living room with their aroma.

Ruoshui leaned close to the table, took a deep breath, and her fox tail, which had become visible after she returned home, swayed rapidly behind her before she looked up at Lin Chu.

"It smells so good!"

Lin Chu served her two bowls of rice and handed her the chopsticks.

Ruoshui picked up a piece of scrambled eggs with tomatoes with her chopsticks and stuffed it into her mouth. Her cheeks puffed out, and after chewing a few times, her eyes narrowed into crescent moons.

"It's delicious," she mumbled, picking up another bite of shredded green peppers and pork.

With her Nascent Soul stage control, Lin Chu could easily cook a meal.

"Eat slowly, no one's going to take it from you." Lin Chu couldn't help but laugh when she saw her cheeks bulging from eating.

"That's because you cook so well." Ruoshui swallowed the food in her mouth, then piled several more pieces of food into her bowl, making it overflow. Then she looked up at Lin Chu and said matter-of-factly, "If you cook for me every day from now on, I'll eat it every day."

"it is good."

"real?"

"real."

Ruoshui smiled contentedly and continued eating her rice.

After taking a couple of bites, he looked up, leaned closer to Lin Chu, and stared straight at him.

Lin Chu looked at her and asked what was wrong.

There are grains of rice on your face.

Lin Chu raised her hand to touch the corner of her mouth, but couldn't find it.

Ruoshui said "over here," then leaned in and gently pressed her lips to the corner of his mouth, taking the grain of rice into her mouth. She then sat back down as if nothing had happened and continued eating her rice.

Lin Chu curled the corners of her lips into a smile.

……

After dinner, Ruoshui leaned back in her chair, completely satisfied.

With a casual flick of his wrist, he cast a cleansing spell, and the dishes on the table instantly became sparkling clean, the leftover food and grease gone.

Then the dishes automatically floated back to the cupboard, the tabletop was clean again, and even the lingering smell of cooking oil in the air was completely removed.

The two exchanged a glance.

"Tonight..." Lin Chu began.

"I want to sleep with you!" Ruoshui stood up abruptly, placed her hands on the table, leaned forward, and her fox tail swayed rapidly behind her.

Lin Chu looked at her and smiled, "Okay."

Back in the bedroom, Lin Chu casually turned on the projector and put on a movie.

As soon as the curtain lit up and the opening credits rolled, I heard rustling sounds behind me. Before I could even sit down, Ruoshui had already climbed into bed.

She patted the empty seat next to her, looked up at him, and said expectantly, "Quick, come on up!"

Lin Chu stared blankly at the scene for a moment.

As a former struggling working person, I was single from birth.

Throughout his two lifetimes in the Xuan Tian Realm, he had never slept in the same bed with Cang Yao or Ruo Shui.

I spend most of my nights in seclusion, and it's dawn before I even open my eyes.

Seeing Ruoshui sitting on the bed wearing that oversized white T-shirt, revealing a section of her fair thigh, patting the empty space next to her and looking at her with an adorable expression, Lin Chu felt a strange mix of emotions.

He then coughed twice and lay down next to her.

A smile bloomed on Ruoshui's face; she had been thinking about this scene for a long time.

Moreover, this time he was all alone; there was no Cang Yao, no one else.

Today's Lin Chu is her own limited self.

She rolled over and half-lay on Lin Chu, draping one leg over his and settling into the most comfortable position.

Then he looked up at the image on the screen and hummed an unknown tune softly.

Lin Chu's body was somewhat stiff.

Ruoshui was only wearing a T-shirt and underwear.

Her legs were draped over his own, their delicate skin rubbing against each other, and her toes would occasionally twitch slightly.

A surge of anger welled up inside him.

Lin Chu quickly adjusted her posture and moved her legs to the side.

Ruoshui seemed to sense something, and a meaningful smile appeared on her lips.

Turning her head to the side, her voice tinged with a hint of mischief, she deliberately drew out the word: "Lin Chu, what are you doing with your hand under the covers?"

"Ahem." Lin Chu coughed lightly. "My belt is stuck. Let me adjust it."

"I'll help you!" Ruoshui's eyes lit up, and she reached out her hand.

Lin Chu slapped her on the head: "Behave yourself."

Then press her hand to the side.

As soon as he pressed down, she grabbed his hand and hugged him tightly to her chest.

Lin Chu tried to break free, but couldn't.

Ruoshui smiled so hard her eyes narrowed into crescent moons, and her fox ears twitched triumphantly.

Although they no longer needed to sleep, both of them relaxed at this moment.

The projected light flickered in the bedroom.

At some point, their breathing gradually became even and gentle.

Lin Chu felt that it had been a long time since she had been able to rest properly in bed like an ordinary person.

This feeling is actually not bad.
