Chapter 251 – Happy days are coming!

Gu Qiuxue's face softened considerably after hearing Lin Jichen's words. She turned to Ren Lan and said, "You must be... the Ren Lan that Little Chen mentioned, right?"

Ren Lan quickly walked over, sat down obediently, and nodded like a pecking chick, "Yes, yes, that's me. I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to."

Gu Qiuxue felt embarrassed, "I should be the one apologizing. I misunderstood you, but you did hit quite hard. I got anxious for a moment. Don't take it to heart."

"It's okay, it's okay. I was too impulsive. I should have looked more carefully before acting."

Ren Lan was extremely considerate in front of Gu Qiuxue, taking all the blame upon herself.

Both women were kind-hearted, so once things were clarified, their previous misunderstandings were resolved.

Gu Qiuxue had already heard from Lin Jichen that he rented a place outside and had a senior as a roommate.

"Brother Lin... can Tang Tang come out now?"

A childish voice called out.

Lin Jichen smiled and waved at Niu Naitang, "Tang Tang, come here and greet your sister."

Niu Naitang bounced over, "Hello, sister~"

"Sis, this is my landlord's child. The landlord is on a business trip and entrusted me to take care of her for a few days," Lin Jichen introduced.

Gu Qiuxue instantly liked the cute and well-behaved little girl, greeting her warmly and even taking out snacks from her suitcase to give to her.

Gu Qiuxue's arrival made Lin Jichen feel like he could ignore the pain in his eyes.

"Sis, now that you're here, you can't go back to the Capital City."

Gu Qiuxue smiled and said, "I've come all the way to Jiangling. Do you think I'd want to go back?"

"Hehe, that's great! Tomorrow, I'll get you a gaming pod. From now on, we'll dominate the game together, invincible!" Lin Jichen grinned foolishly.

Gu Qiuxue, however, was a bit worried, "I'm afraid I won't be good at the game and drag you down. Maybe I should find another job in Jiangling."

"No way, sis. Trust me and give it a try. Besides, if you don't know how to play, I can teach you. Your brother is now the top player in 'Tale of Immortal,' quite famous."

Lin Jichen hurriedly said. He didn't want Gu Qiuxue to waste time looking for another job; he wanted her to develop in 'Tale of Immortal.'

"Alright, I'll give it a try," Gu Qiuxue agreed reluctantly, seeing Lin Jichen's insistence.

"Oh no! I almost forgot, I'm still farming a Secret Realm in the game!"

Lin Jichen slapped his thigh, suddenly remembering.

"Then go quickly, it's important," Gu Qiuxue urged.

"Okay, I'll be back after I finish the Secret Realm." Lin Jichen hurried back to the game.

After Lin Jichen left, Ren Lan took the initiative to show Gu Qiuxue around the house.

Gu Qiuxue was quite satisfied after a brief look at the new home.

In fact, as long as she could be with Lin Jichen, even an unfinished house would feel cozy.

But with her arrival, a problem arose: there didn't seem to be enough rooms.

The apartment had two bedrooms and a living room. Ren Lan and Niu Naitang shared one room, which was already crowded with two gaming pods.

That left only Lin Jichen's bedroom.

No matter how they divided it, someone would have to share a room.

"Big Sis Ren, maybe I should go home to sleep."

The sensible Niu Naitang offered to give up her spot but then quickly added, "Or I could sleep with Brother Lin."

Both Ren Lan and Gu Qiuxue blushed, not knowing what to say.

At that moment, Lin Jichen had finished the Secret Realm and logged off in a hurry.

Hearing Niu Naitang's suggestion, he said nonchalantly, "Sis, you can sleep in my room. I'm always in the gaming pod anyway. Miss Frenzy and Niu Naitang are just staying temporarily; one will go back to school, and the other will go home. You can move in after they leave."

Gu Qiuxue nodded at his words. Sharing a room with Lin Jichen wasn't something new.

Ren Lan didn't think much of it either; it wasn't a big deal for siblings to share a room.

Lin Jichen took Gu Qiuxue's luggage into his room without further ado.

Seeing that there was nothing else to do, Ren Lan took Niu Naitang back to play games.

Lin Jichen, however, had no intention of gaming.

He and Gu Qiuxue had been apart for over a month. This was the second time they met since his rebirth, and he had endless things to say.

The siblings chatted in the room until late at night, stopping only when Gu Qiuxue couldn't resist her drowsiness and fell asleep.

Lin Jichen watched Gu Qiuxue sleeping on his bed, staring at her delicate face and perfect features, feeling like he could never get enough.

In his previous life, he must have been blind and brain-dead to abandon such a good sister for a manipulative woman.

The more he thought about it, the more speechless he became about his past self.

It was like those TV dramas where the male lead ignores the smart, beautiful, and kind second female lead, only to fall for the foolish, unkempt female lead.

Not only did others not understand, but even Lin Jichen himself couldn't comprehend it.

***

The next day.

A delicious aroma lured Lin Jichen, Ren Lan, and Niu Naitang out of their gaming pods.

The three walked out of their rooms to find a sumptuous breakfast laid out on the dining table, the fragrance making their mouths water.

In the kitchen, Gu Qiuxue was busy. Seeing the three of them awake, she smiled and said, "You're all up? I was just about to call you. Go wash up and eat."

"I'll go first!"

"No, I'll go first!"

"Tang Tang wants to go first~"

...

The three of them rushed to the bathroom, almost knocking the door down.

After washing up, they came out one by one, and Gu Qiuxue had finished preparing breakfast.

Ren Lan couldn't help but scoop a bowl of seafood porridge, taking a sip and almost burning herself. She then picked up a piece of fried beef patty and took a bite, immediately making a satisfied sound.

"Oh my god, this is so delicious! Sister Qiuxue, did you make all this yourself?"

Gu Qiuxue nodded and smiled while serving porridge to Lin Jichen and Niu Naitang, "Yes, I saw there were ingredients in the fridge this morning, so I made it."

Ren Lan exclaimed, "Your cooking is even better than a five-star chef's! If you opened a restaurant, it would be packed every day! How did you get so good at cooking? It's even better than my mom's."

Gu Qiuxue smiled modestly, "It's not that amazing. I practiced while taking care of Little Chen when I was in school. If you like it, eat more."

"Yes, I'll definitely eat more!" Ren Lan said, burying her head in her food.

Niu Naitang was also completely immersed in the delicious breakfast, eating so intently that she didn't even lift her head.

Seeing the two of them act like they had never seen good food before, Lin Jichen couldn't help but laugh.

Well, it seemed that if he cooked again, they would definitely complain.

But to be fair, Gu Qiuxue's cooking skills had always left a lasting impression on Lin Jichen.

Last time in the Capital City, Gu Qiuxue didn't have time to cook for him because of her job.

Now, he could finally enjoy her cooking every day, and he felt like his happy days were just beginning!
