And Fu Jingshen... was actually washing his hands for me.
With a blush on her face, Gu Nian quickly withdrew her small hand.
"I... I've washed them already."
"Hmm."
Fu Jingshen skillfully washed his hands and then pulled out a towel to dry Gu Nian's small hands.
The atmosphere turned somewhat ambiguous, and Gu Nian, too shy to look at Fu Jingshen, hastily said, "Let's go out..."
"Hmm."
Fu Jingshen watched Gu Nian, who looked as shy as a little rabbit, and the corners of his thin lips turned up slightly.
In fact... he still wanted to hug her.
During the three years she was gone, he felt completely insecure.
Now, even with her in front of him, he was still tormented by fear of loss.
...
An Xuan was asked by Yuan Shan to stay for a meal together, but Gu Nian pretended not to see, since she wasn't very hungry having had porridge in the morning.
Gu Nian just moved her chopsticks a few times and didn't eat much more.
