Meanwhile, Gu Qingyao and Mo Beihan's house was already very clean, although it was not large. It did not have much furniture, so it was easy to tidy.

Mo Beihan quickly finished putting it in order.

Gu Qingyao had been sewing by hand, but later she took the sewing machine out of her inters.p.a.ce. It was the old-fas.h.i.+oned type with a foot pedal. She had always used this in this past, and was used to it.

She could sew much faster with the sewing machine. Whenever she finished a curtain, she would get Mo Beihan to hang it up. Soon, the curtains and tablecloths were all done.

Gu Qingyao searched through her inters.p.a.ce for a long time before she found a wooden table of the old-fas.h.i.+oned sort. It was similar to the types found in these times. So she took it out to use, and also found some stools.

Mo Beihan went to buy a ceiling fan and a standing fan. The electrical connections in this house were pretty good and they could be used immediately. He placed the standing fan in the bedroom and switched it on so that Gu Qingyao could sit by the bed.

“You've been busy all afternoon. Rest here for a while. I'll install the ceiling fan.”

Gu Qingyao laughed. “I didn't do much, why do I need to rest?”

“Then play here for a while!”

Gu Qingyao sat by the bed, enjoying the breeze from the fan. The room door was open and she could see him in the living room.

He stood on the table and before long, he had installed the ceiling fan. Once he turned it on, the entire living room felt cooler.

Gu Qingyao got a small slice of cake from her inters.p.a.ce and ate it as she watched him.

The cake was sweet, with cream and fruits. Joy filled her heart.

When everything was done, it was almost noon. It was time to cook lunch.

Mo Beihan returned to the room and sat next to Gu Qingyao. He reached out and slowly pulled her into a partial embrace. When he saw that Gu Qingyao did not push him aside or seem embarra.s.sed, amus.e.m.e.nt shone in his eyes.

He had often hugged her in his previous life. She was used to it.

“What do you want to eat for lunch? I'll go and cook.”

Gu Qingyao laughed. “I'm eating now, right? Why do you need to cook?”

“That's just a small snack. It's not a proper meal. You might be full after eating this, but you'll be hungry again soon.”

Gu Qingyao continued to smile. “I have plenty of food in my inters.p.a.ce! Why don't we just eat some of that?”

“It's not the same. This is our little home. This is the first time you're here, so I must make a decent meal for you. Life must have some rituals.”

Gu Qingyao's smile broadened. She tilted her head, forked up a piece of cake and stuffed it into Mo Beihan's mouth.

There was too much on the fork, and the cake was very creamy. The sides of Mo Beihan's mouth were smeared with cream.

She smiled and suddenly leaned over and simply ate the bit of cream by the side of his mouth.

The warmth from her lips shocked Mo Beihan. He looked at the girl in front of him and his entire body filled with joy. The whole world seemed wonderful, even the air was sweet!

He smiled tenderly at the young girl before him.

His silly Yao Yao!

After so long, she still had not realized that he was different?

She had not thought that he could be reborn too?

She just trusted him like that?

She did not notice that he was neither surprised nor shocked by her bold moves?

No one in these times would be so uninhibited!

Clearly, this girl completely trusted him. She was so naïve and simple with him that she had not yet noticed.

Or could it be… that he had hidden his secret too well?

Mo Beihan was laughing inwardly, but he refused to tell her. He would see when she finally discovered the truth.
