“But I know how to use a microwave. I learned while helping at the porridge shop.”
Jiang Zhi, who didn’t know how to use a microwave, responded with, “…”
“I can teach you.” Zhou Xu Fang’s expression was extremely serious.
“…”
Jiang Zhi had no interest in learning how to use a microwave.
He lazily said, “Hmm, go ahead and teach.”
Then, Zhou Xu Fang explained the microwave’s button steps and various common heating times to Jiang Zhi in detail. At the end, she turned to him and asked, “Did you learn it?”
Her eyelashes were very curled. The light shone down from above, casting shadows. When she blinked, the shadows fluttered with her eyelashes, and Jiang Zhi suddenly felt an impulse to reach out and touch them.
“Did you learn it?” she patiently asked again.
Learn what?
He had been too focused on looking at her. Who knows what she had said? Jiang Zhi shifted his gaze away. “Yes.”
Just then, the milk finished heating.
Zhou Xu Fang washed two cups and poured the heated milk into them, one for herself and one for Jiang Zhi.
“I’ll help you carry it over.”

Then she used her sweatshirt sleeves to wrap around her hands, holding the two cups of milk as she skillfully walked to the living room.
Jiang Zhi followed behind her. She was wearing his sweatshirt, the same style as the one he wore himself.
It truly looked pleasing.
Zhou Xu Fang turned to see the faint smile on his lips.
He didn’t smile often. Normally, he always looked half-asleep, lazy and indifferent, exuding an aloof elegance that was somewhat detached from the human world.
He looked better when he smiled.
Zhou Xu Fang thought of a saying, “Beauty can be captivating to the point of causing trouble.” She thought, if Jiang Zhi had been born in the old times, he would definitely have been taken to the palace to serve, a beauty that brings disaster. Such looks wouldn’t be fit for an ordinary family.
Jiang Zhi pressed his lips together, and the smile disappeared from his eyes, returning to his usual handsome and defiant look.
Zhou Xu Fang chose the seat at the farthest edge of the sofa, sipping milk in small sips. Jiang Zhi sat across from her without speaking. She couldn’t openly admire his rare good looks, so she shifted her gaze and attention elsewhere. Then she noticed something surprising:
“You also have cotton candy at home?”
On the third shelf of the built-in wall cabinet across from them, there was a small square glass box filled with colorful cotton candy.
She rarely showed such a large emotional reaction. Jiang Zhi glanced at her eyebrows and softly responded, “Mm.”
“I also like to eat cotton candy.”
All her joy and excitement were written on her face. The bleak loneliness in her eyes was replaced with brightness.
How much did she like that box of cotton candy?
Jiang Zhi walked to the wooden cabinet, took down the box of cotton candy, and placed it on the coffee table. “Have some.”
“Thank you.”
Her eyes turned into crescent moons, taking the box in her hands and touching the inlaid rhinestones on top. “Your cotton candy box is prettier than mine.”
She also wanted to buy one, but Jiang Zhi’s was too exquisite. It must have been custom-made.
Never mind. She had already taken his chandelier; she couldn’t possibly covet his cotton candy box as well. So, she didn’t ask him where it was custom-made, just quietly sat on the sofa and ate the candy.
Jiang Zhi silently watched her.
That year at the Luo Family’s, the emaciated boy had also sat like this, by the small pond, swinging his legs, smiling as he stuffed cotton candy into his mouth one by one.
Like her, he also picked the pink ones first.
“Have you never eaten it before?” Jiang Zhi had been at a rebellious age then.
The boy nodded. He was so thin he was out of form, his face dirty, chewing the candy with his cheeks puffed out, a plump orange cat lying at his feet, stretching lazily and rubbing against his darkened hand.
“Then wait here for me tomorrow. I’ll bring you cotton candy.”
The boy gave him a small smile, and the cat meowed a couple of times too.
But the next day, he didn’t see the boy. A huge fire had burned the Luo Family’s flower shed to ashes. Others told him the adopted son’s ashes were in that pile of debris.
“Jiang Zhi.”
Zhou Xu Fang called out, looking up with three pieces of candy in her mouth, her cheeks slightly puffed out. “This candy seems to have been discontinued. Where did you buy it?”
It was her favorite brand. She hadn’t had it in a long time.
Jiang Zhi’s thoughts were pulled back by her excited voice. “I bought their factory.”
Zhou Xu Fang hesitated for a while, then asked him, “Can you give me some?” she sincerely requested, “I can pay.”
It was clear she really liked this candy. After all, she was still just a young girl who liked sweet and pretty things.
“You can come to my place to buy it in the future.” Jiang Zhi considered himself not someone who liked to share. In his understanding, what he liked, he must have all to himself. No one else was allowed to covet it.
She was different, breaking his rules time and time again.
She looked genuinely happy, with candy in her mouth and sweetness in her eyes, sincerely praising him, “You are really a good person.”
Jiang Zhi: “…”
A good person?
To buy that cotton candy factory, he had bankrupted its owner.
The doorbell suddenly rang, and Jiang Zhi got up to open the door.
Xue Baoyi stood at the door, wearing a flamboyant red coat, smiling charmingly, his manner exaggerated and dramatic, “Brother Zhi～”
