As the first light broke through the darkness, the tightly shut door swung open. Qin Zhi Han looked on with deep concern as a relaxed yet weary figure stepped out. At that moment, seeing Su Ruolan's eyes calmed his heart. Without saying a word, Qin Zhi Han stepped forward and embraced Su Ruolan. "You must be hungry; I made some soup."
Ever since discovering Zero Space, everyone had stopped worrying about food. Gradually, they returned to a pre-apocalyptic standard of living—rice was plentiful, meat was sufficient, and everyone's nutrition balanced out, leading to improved health. Especially after Qin Zhi Han found that set of cooking tools, he discovered the joy of culinary creation. Unlike the varied flavors and spicy richness of hot pot, Qin Zhi Han excelled in crafting warm, hearty soups that were often praised for their divine taste, leaving people wanting more and savoring every drop.
Upon hearing that Qin Zhi Han had made soup, Su Ruolan felt her appetite surge and smiled at him. In that casual glance, she noticed the dark circles under his eyes and the slight wrinkles at the corners. She paused for a moment; this man kept all his worries bottled up inside, never showing them explicitly, yet every action conveyed his deep concern.
"Sounds great! Let’s see how rich today’s soup is," Su Ruolan replied with a smile. There were many things left unsaid between them; she knew Qin Zhi Han understood her. Being with him gave her a strong sense of security. Initially, she thought he was aloof, but as they interacted more, she realized that while he was indeed reserved, he was not indifferent. He treated everyone sincerely who approached him with genuine intentions—respectful without being intrusive, providing ample space while caring without being indulgent. Their time together felt relaxed and comforting; she truly felt at ease in their relationship.
Unbeknownst to her, it was just a bowl of soup that allowed Su Ruolan to completely relax and accept him. Qin Zhi Han secretly pondered how to make Su Ruolan care for him a little more and share some of her thoughts with him. He understood that she had been under immense pressure lately; the burdens from Wei and Bao were hurdles from her past life that she couldn’t escape. If she couldn’t find closure for them in this life, her heart would never truly open up to him. He was willing to give her that time; these days of companionship were sweet in their own right.
"Is it good?" Watching Su Ruolan lift the bowl and take a sip of chicken soup, Qin Zhi Han felt like someone waiting eagerly for lottery results—both cautious and filled with anticipation.
"Guess," Su Ruolan replied with a smile that revealed a rare playfulness.
Qin Zhi Han was taken aback; her smile shone like a ray of sunlight piercing through his heart, instantly warming it and igniting an uncontainable flutter within him. Unable to hold back any longer, he leaned in quickly and kissed her.
"Ah!" Su Ruolan exclaimed in surprise as the spoon clattered onto the table.
"The taste is quite good," Qin Zhi Han said with a mischievous grin.
Seeing Qin Zhi Han's triumphant expression and his handsome face filled with satisfaction made Su Ruolan suddenly feel breathless; her heart raced uncontrollably. She lowered her head to cradle the bowl but couldn't help noticing her ears turning red.
Watching Su Ruolan’s rare display of shyness made Qin Zhi Han feel the air around them grow warmer; his mouth felt dry as the surroundings fell into an increasing silence. The sound of Su Ruolan sipping the soup grew louder, inexplicably stirring feelings of restlessness within him.
Su Ruolan increasingly felt that the atmosphere was off, and her slurping of the soup grew louder. When she looked up and said, "I'm done drinking," she suddenly realized that Qin Zhi Han had moved from across the table to sit beside her. As she lifted her head, her lips inadvertently brushed against the corner of his mouth.
