The room had been cleaned, spotless without a speck of dust.
Shen Tang looked carefully, it was exactly the same as when she had left last time, almost no change.
Previously, she couldn't accept the existence of mind reading, always feeling like she was naked without any privacy in front of Gu Huaian.
Now she felt it was fine, after all there was a solution now.
It's just...
Shen Tang couldn't accept doing "that" in order to unlock the mind reading ability. The first time was beautiful, she didn't want it to happen because of this weird reason.
She hadn't brought it up, and Gu Huaian hadn't mentioned it either. It was as if the two had tacitly ignored this matter.
Thinking of mind reading, Shen Tang thought of something else. She looked at Gu Huaian with narrowed eyes, "That reminds me, there's something I want to ask you."
"What is it?"
"Are you reborn?"
Gu Huaian nodded: "Yes."
His straightforward answer instead stunned Shen Tang for a moment, "What, you just told me like that?"
Gu Huaian stroked Shen Tang's hair and said gently: "I have nothing that I can’t tell you. I had thought about telling you this before, but there was never a good chance. Mind reading alone made you distance yourself from me, I was afraid if I mentioned rebirth, you would leave me directly."
Shen Tang didn't really mind. She did get her just desserts in her previous life, although her death was quite miserable.
After explaining about being forced to follow the storyline, she asked Gu Huaian again: "What about you, do you have that kind of feeling?"
Gu Huaian nodded, "I do too. Sometimes I clearly don't want to do something, yet I can't control my body. I even went to the hospital to get checked, suspecting that I might have a mental illness."
It sounded ridiculous, but only those who have personally experienced it knew how terrifying it felt to be unable to control oneself.
Shen Tang threw herself into Gu Huaian's arms, "It's alright now. No one will control us anymore in the future."
"Yeah, I'm also very glad to meet you again."
If he hadn't met Shen Tang, Gu Huaian was certain he would have grown old alone in this life.
Perhaps he would never understand what it felt like to have a lover, and to be loved by someone.
That's right, although Shen Tang hadn't said it out loud, they both understood clearly that the two of them truly loved each other.
"Are you hungry?"
"A little."
"Have a seat, I'll cook for you."
"I'll join you!"
For couples in love, no matter what they do as long as they stick together, they will feel extremely happy.
Shen Tang was responsible for assisting, while Gu Huaian put on an apron and started cooking.
Since it was late, he didn't make anything too oily in case it was hard to digest.
Gu Huaian simply pan-fried two steaks, with red and green side dishes for embellishment. It looked extremely appetizing.
Just looking at it made Shen Tang even hungrier.
Gu Huaian lit some candles. The dim candlelight set a suggestively romantic atmosphere.
He cut up the steak for Shen Tang before pushing it over, "Try it and see if you like it."
"Anything you make would definitely taste good."
After taking a bite, it was as expected. The flavor was no less than those five-star hotels.
When the meal finished, Shen Tang wiped her mouth and said, "Alright, I should head home now."
Gu Huaian was somewhat bewildered, "You're not staying here?"
Shen Tang smiled, "I don't live here anymore. I want to go back home."
Previously, she had always felt somewhat uneasy living with the Shen family, thinking that she had snatched someone else's relatives.
Now that she knew they were her real family, Shen Tang was incredibly happy.
Over the past month, they had gotten along very harmoniously. She was reluctant to leave home for now.
Although Gu Huaian felt a little disappointed, he didn't insist.
"I'll send you back."
"No need, I can drive back myself."
"I won't feel assured otherwise."
Unable to contend against Gu Huaian, Shen Tang let him send her back to the Shen house in the end.
Hearing the car sounds, Shen Yu put down his phone and ran out from the house.
Seeing Gu Huaian, his nose scrunched up in dissatisfaction.
"Sis, you're only coming back now. Did a certain someone not let you return?"
Shen Tang flicked his forehead, "Don't spout nonsense."
Shen Yu was very unhappy. "Sis, let me drive you back from now on. I'm afraid some people harbor malicious intentions."
Gu Huaian: "......"
Reminding himself that this was his brother-in-law, he endured.
"I heard you like Michael?"
Shen Yu stuck out his neck and said, "So what if I do?"
"What a coincidence. I happen to be friends with him on WeChat."
This infuriated Shen Yu. Was this guy deliberately here to show off to him?
"So you have him, no big deal."
Shen Yu refused to admit it, but at this moment, his heart felt extremely sour.
"Call me brother-in-law and I'll connect you."
Shen Yu awkwardly swallowed his saliva. "Really?"
Seeing Shen Yu's expression, Gu Huaian nearly laughed out loud.
He was indeed Shen Tang's brother. Their little expressions were simply identical.
"A real man stays true to his word."
Shen Yu shouted loudly: "Brother-in-law!"
Shen Tang: "......"
"You've switched sides already? What happened to keeping perspective?"
Who was it that clamored daily for her to get a divorce?
Shen Yu smiled awkwardly. "Sis, it wasn't my intention. But it's Michael's friend!"
Shen Tang felt his words seemed familiar.
Wait... wasn't this what she often said herself?
She didn't intend to either. It was just the other side kept giving her too much!
Shen Tang suddenly felt uncomfortable. She said to Gu Huaian: "Ahem, it's gotten late. Be careful on your way back."
"Alright, see you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow."
Shen Yu was extremely excited, but upon entering the house he suddenly realized he didn't actually have Gu Huaian's WeChat contact. He instantly deflated.
"Sis sis, send me Gu Huaian's WeChat."
Shen Tang glanced at him. "Now you're calling him Gu Huaian again? What happened to brother-in-law?"
He really knew how to turn his face and deny people!
