She avoided Gu Qian like this, but Gu Qian's emotions calmed down. The system had told Xia Ling that Gu Qian's darkening value was continuously decreasing, and the danger value had already decreased.

This was also what Xia Ling had expected.

Her personality had gone from cold to ice-cold, and she appeared to be a lone wolf on campus. In private, she had gotten the nickname "ice beauty."

These days, Gao Shengyang had not appeared at school. It seemed like he was attending a training session outside of school, or he was sick and asked for leave.

Xia Ling's class always had girls who planned to visit Gao Shengyang at home. Xia Ling listened and never participated.

So the girls knew that Jing Shi really had nothing to do with Gao Shengyang anymore.

It was strange that Jing Shi would always follow behind Gu Qian.

Time flew by in the blink of an eye. It was half a month.

Saturday, the third and half month break of high school.

Gu Qian rode his bicycle and just as he returned home, he saw the girl standing under the tree at the entrance of the villa.

She looked at him with a smile. She was wearing a school uniform and looked extremely warm.

Gu Qian stopped the bicycle and looked at the young girl. His emotions were inexplicably complicated.

He had seen all the changes that had happened to her over the past few days.

He had never thought that she would change like this. In the beginning, his hatred for her seemed to have faded a lot. When he thought of her, he would not feel uncomfortable. Instead, his emotions would be much calmer.

Since he was young, she had always been his psychological sustenance.

In the past, even if she did everything he said, Gu Qian still felt that it was not enough. It was as if a big hole had been torn in his heart.

But now, she did not do anything. She had her own ideas and discussed with him about learning. Gu Qian looked at her and felt inexplicably satisfied.

A good teacher and a good friend. It was probably true.

"Jing Shi..." His voice was a little dry. Gu Qian looked at the young girl and smiled.

His smile was very beautiful, like the warm sunshine of spring.

"What's the matter?"

Xia Ling: "Father Gu and mother Gu are going out for a period of time. It's just the two of us. Please give us some guidance."

Gu Qian was stunned. "When?"

Ever since Jing Shi's personality became gentle, father Gu and mother Gu apologized to her and accepted her as family again.

Xia Ling was like a fish in water in the Gu family. Mother Gu liked her more than she liked Gu Qian.

Whenever there was anything they wanted to do, Father Gu and mother Gu would tell Xia Ling and ignore her and Gu Qian. The two of them would go out to travel and play.

"Okay, it's really like a second spring," Gu Qian mumbled and did not complain.

"Then let's take turns to cook these days," he said lightly.

"No, I don't know how to. A girl's hands need to be pampered." Xia Ling immediately suggested, "Gu Qian, you're so capable. You've already wrapped up the food in these few days? Hmm?"

The girl was wearing a blue and white school uniform. Her black hair fell on her shoulders. Her gentle and cold side profile looked extremely beautiful in the backlight, like a white butterfly that was about to fly away.

Gu Qian's heart trembled. He turned his face away and said, "Okay."

Gu Qian's food was not delicious. Although the recipe was very precise, there was always a black hole in it. Every time the food was cooked, it was either too bitter or too sweet and salty. Xia Ling followed him and tasted all the sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy food. Finally, she could not help but roll up her sleeves and do it.

On this day, Xia Ling finally ate a normal and delicious meal.

Before father and mother Gu returned, Xia Ling studied the system store.

Although her points were all gone, she could find whatever she needed in the store.
