But before she could ponder it further, the green light lit up, and the car continued forward, abruptly interrupting her thoughts. Bai Yixuan saw her deep in thought and couldn’t help but ask, "Xiaxia, what’s wrong?"
Ling Chuxia furrowed her brows and thought for a moment but couldn’t figure anything out, after all, in Lin City, besides her colleagues at the company, the only person she knew was Bai Yixuan. How could there be anyone else familiar to her?
And those she once knew well... they would never appear in her life again.
Thinking this, Ling Chuxia couldn’t help but mock herself silently. She curved her lips into a faint smile towards Bai Yixuan and then gently shook her head, "It’s nothing, I was just thinking, maybe we shouldn’t eat out, let’s go home and eat."
"Go home to eat?" Bai Yixuan’s eyes and brows lifted playfully, "Are you going to cook?"
Ling Chuxia nodded, "Yes, I’ll cook." She paused, her voice lowering slightly, "Ever since I met you, you’ve been helping me. It’s about time that I properly cook a delicious meal to thank you."
"Really? You know how to cook?" Bai Yixuan looked at her incredulously, a trace of disbelief flashing in his eyes.
"Of course, don’t underestimate me, okay!" Ling Chuxia confidently raised her head. She didn’t dare boast about other things, but cooking was something she was confident about, after all... to cope with Shi Che, she had spent three years learning many, many things, although... ultimately, they proved to be of little use.
The car stopped near the supermarket close to Ling Chuxia’s apartment, both Ling Chuxia and Bai Yixuan got out together, and after waiting for a while, Shi Che also opened the door and stepped out.
Ling Chuxia and Bai Yixuan entered the supermarket, Bai Yixuan grabbed a shopping cart, and both of them walked side by side, discussing what to buy. Shi Che followed from a distance, watching the two in front of him walk intimately together, negotiating like an ordinary couple, his hands involuntarily clenched tightly.
He and Chuxia had been married for three years, but it seemed they had never shared such an experience.
Chuxia... she never needed him. She was always so quiet, always so capable. She could greet him with a smile when he came home, and she could watch him leave in anger without changing her expression.
Back then, he was filled with anger and dissatisfaction, but now, what he felt was immense guilt and sorrow. When he blamed Chuxia for not loving him, he also forgot to offer her love and warmth.
Up ahead, Ling Chuxia suddenly exclaimed, "Wow, that fish is so big, I want that one. Brother Xuan, quickly catch it, don’t let it get away. I’ll cook you a delicious fish soup tonight!"
Listening to her instructions, Bai Yixuan quickly snatched up the fish, water splashing everywhere, sprinkling onto Ling Chuxia’s face. She wiped it off without a care and then clapped her hands with a beaming smile, "Brother Xuan, you’re so impressive."
Her eyes shone brightly as if filled with tiny glimmers of light, the upward curve of her lips was the most beautiful smile he had ever seen.
Shi Che stood there, watching Ling Chuxia from a distance, feeling a gradual ache in his heart.
Such a smile was something he once wanted to bring to her, but now, having left him, Chuxia regained that smile.
Shi Che felt a sense of weakness in his body, hardly able to follow any further. Chuxia was so happy now, so content, could he really afford to be selfish and appear in her world again?
