Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Gu Zi looked at the two bowls of piping hot food and smiled. She took them and said to Su Bing, “Thank you, Boss!”

With that, she left the kitchen.

Su Bing’s face reddened at the compliment, and Su Li approached, curious. He asked his older brother, “Will stepmother always be this nice?”

Su Bing gazed upstairs at Gu Zi and whispered to his younger brother, “Don’t expect too much, it’s only the beginning.” Then, he walked towards the living room.

Despite his words, Su Bing couldn’t help heating two servings of food for Gu Zi. He believed she hadn’t eaten anything after taking care of their father.

When Gu Zi returned to the room, she found Su Shen sitting by the bed, topless due to the need for air on his wound. His muscular body caught her eye.

Su Shen cleared his throat.

Hastily, Gu Zi picked up her chopsticks and began eating, fearing that she had made her intentions too apparent. She hoped she hadn’t embarrassed herself earlier.

The man smiled and started eating.

Su Bing filled both bowls of rice with the same amount. Su Shen felt that he would definitely be hungry tonight, and Gu Zi was a little worried that she might not be able to finish it.

She took her last mouth and looked up at him. “I can’t eat anymore. I haven’t touched the food here. Do you want to eat it?”

Gu Zi believed it wouldn’t be enough for a grown man, and she worried about wasting food. She tried to make the offer, only to regret it immediately.

The way Su Shen looked at her was complicated, and then he graciously accepted her offer. “If you don’t mind, give it to me. I’m a little hungry.” Gu Zi pushed her bowl over. She wanted him to pour the rice over to his own bowl, but she did not expect him to eat it straight from her bowl without any disdain.

At that moment, Gu Zi felt an inexplicable feeling in her heart.

“Thank you. The food was delicious,” Su Shen expressed his gratitude, remembering what Gu Zi had said about bringing warmth to relationships by saying thank you.

Gu Zi replied with an “okay” and then cleared the dishes. The kitchen had already been cleaned by Su Bing. Gu Zi only needed to wash two bowls and two pairs of chopsticks.

After washing the dishes, Gu Zi went to the living room to play with Su Le.

Since tomorrow was Saturday, the boys didn’t have school, and Gu Zi asked if they wanted to join her in gathering bean jelly grass the next day.

“What’s a bean jelly grass?” Su Li asked in confusion.

Gu Zi explained with a smile, “It’s grass that can be used to make a delicious snack. You’ll see tomorrow when we gather it.”

The prospect of food piqued Su Li’s interest, and he was excited to go. However, he hesitated because he didn’t want to go without his older brother’s approval.

“Then, I’ll steam the sweet potatoes in the morning,” Su Bing said.

Gu Zi made an “Okay ” gesture and carried Su Le upstairs.

As Su Li was less familiar with the gesture, he tried to imitate it and found it quite amusing.

Su Bing was impressed with his stepmother’s linguistic abilities, knowing that the language she used was reserved for specially trained talents.

He couldn’t help but wonder why such an exceptional person would choose to live in the countryside.

And despite her kindness, he still found it difficult to believe that she genuinely cared for them.

While Su Bing pondered these thoughts, Gu Zi carried Su Le upstairs.

Su Shen was about to return to his room when Gu Zi called out to him, “You can sleep in my room tonight so that I can keep an eye on you. With such a serious injury, you might have a high fever tonight.”

“It’s very troublesome for you, isn’t it? My physical fitness is still fine,” Su Shen said.

Gu Zi grabbed Su Let s clothes and turned around to look at him. “What if you have a high fever in the middle of the night?”

It would be even more troublesome if the fever did not go down in time. Moreover, she had already taken the initiative to let him sleep here. What was this man hiding? He was really… like a little girl.

Su Shen gave in and sat on the bed.

Gu Zi nodded and smiled, making an effort to avert her gaze from his lower body. She then carried Su Le into the bathroom.

As she attended to Su Le, Gu Zi couldn’t help but wonder if Su Shen were a virgin, considering his modesty and lack of romantic interest. This thought led her to suspect that he might have an underlying medical condition. She resolved that one of her first tasks after their marriage would be to take him to the city to see a specialist.

“Help me take care of Lele. I’m going to take a shower,” she said after finishing with Su Le, gently placing the child next to Su Shen..
