Chapter 6 - The Beauty of the Past

Su Xuan’s cooking skills were from the Military God Sect, and it was the Military God who forced him to learn.

Because the Military God himself was too lazy to cook, once he taught Su Xuan how to cook, he could happily leave the task to Su Xuan.

Indeed, after Su Xuan had mastered the cooking skills, cooking became his daily task.

Su Xuan deeply regretted it, while the Military God kept on smirking endlessly…

When Chen Wanqing heard Su Xuan boast about his good cooking, she was momentarily startled and asked, “Really?”

“Of course it’s true,” Su Xuan nodded and said.

“Are you a chef?” Chen Wanqing asked expectantly.

“No,” Su Xuan shook his head and said.

“Oh,” sighed Chen Wanqing, disappointedly.

“If I get the chance, I’ll let you see my culinary skills,” Su Xuan said with a smile.

“Okay,” Chen Wanqing responded noncommittally.

Chen Wanqing had little expectation for Su Xuan’s culinary skills.

After all, not many men could cook, and if they weren’t professional chefs, how good could their cooking be?

That Su Xuan could cook was already surprising to Chen Wanqing; how could she expect it to be delicious?

It certainly couldn’t compare to a professional chef.

…

Songzhou Garden Community in Qingshan City was quite famous.

It was established a few years ago with excellent green spaces and comprehensive facilities.

Soon, the car stopped at the entrance of Songzhou Garden Community.

“This is my business card, take it,” Chen Wanqing took out a business card and handed it to Su Xuan, then said, “My hotel is called Bright Moon Building.

Come directly to the hotel to work tomorrow.”

Su Xuan took the business card and said, “It depends on my mood!”

“Look at you, acting all high and mighty.

Come or not, I don’t care!” Chen Wanqing gave Su Xuan a look and then said, “Get out of the car!”

Su Xuan turned to look at Chen Wanqing again and said, “Wanqing, don’t miss me too much!”

“Who would miss you!” Chen Wanqing said helplessly.

Was this man too narcissistic?

What made him think she would think about him?

“Especially don’t think about me when you’re sleeping, or you might have wet dreams!” Su Xuan said very seriously.

Wet dreams?

Chen Wanqing’s face turned red as she glared at Su Xuan and said, “Get out now!”

Then, Chen Wanqing gave Su Xuan a shove with her foot.

“Really barbaric,” Su Xuan pursed his lips, then reluctantly opened the car door and got out.

As soon as Su Xuan got out of the car, Chen Wanqing immediately drove off, thinking she had finally got rid of a nuisance.

Su Xuan stretched lazily and looked around; nothing had changed from five years ago, except that the buildings had aged a bit.

Su Xuan’s apartment was on the second floor of Building A.

He walked into Songzhou Garden Community and quickly reached Building A, then went up to the second floor.

Each floor had two apartments; Su Xuan’s room was on the left.

However, at that moment, Su Xuan looked towards the right-hand side apartment because he remembered that a very beautiful elder sister used to live there.

It had been five years, and he didn’t know if she had moved out.

Just thinking about that elder sister’s beauty, Su Xuan couldn’t help but praise her; she was a beauty that could stun anyone, comparable to Chen Wanqing.

Even back then, she had amazed him.

Su Xuan then turned to look at his own apartment and pulled out a bunch of keys from his worn-out clothes, tried a few, and inserted one into the lock.

Soon, a crisp sound was heard, and the door opened.

Su Xuan pushed open the door, walked in, and looked around, nodding in satisfaction.

The apartment was over two hundred square meters and had been renovated.

It looked upscale and spacious.

The furniture was all high-end, bought by Su Xuan’s father before.

“Compared to the thatched cottage I used to live in, this place is practically a palace!”

Su Xuan was almost moved to tears.

In these five years, he had lived in straw huts.

Whenever it rained, Su Xuan would immediately pray, “Heaven, look how handsome I am; please don’t let the room leak!”

Su Xuan sighed wistfully, unwilling to think about the five years he’d endured in a “Devil-like” career.

Thinking about the beautiful life that had opened its doors to him, he smiled happily.

“Huh?

Who are you?”

Just as Su Xuan was about to enter the house, suddenly, a puzzled voice rang out.

Su Xuan was startled and quickly turned around, immediately seeing a beautiful woman in her twenties coming towards him with a bag, looking at him quizzically.

After scrutinizing Su Xuan carefully, the beautiful woman asked in surprise, “Are you Su Xuan?”

The woman was gracefully slender, standing at about five feet five, with a slim waist and a fantastic figure!

Her face, delicate and slightly enchanting, was immensely attractive.

“Are you Sister Xue?” Su Xuan said in surprise, realizing it was the gorgeous older sister living across from him!

“Ah, you really are Su Xuan!” Lin Mengxue looked at Su Xuan in astonishment, then smiled and said, “It’s been five years, and you’ve grown so much, even taller than me now.”

“Sister Xue, you’ve become even more beautiful than before!” Su Xuan exclaimed.

“Little devil, your mouth is still so sweet!” Lin Mengxue laughed, looking gorgeous, and then said, “Haven’t had lunch yet?

Come to my place, I’ll cook for you!”

“Alright.” Su Xuan nodded and said.

Lin Mengxue had previously worked at Fenghua Company, where Su Xuan often hung around causing mischief but got along well with Lin Mengxue.

Since they were neighbors, the relationship between Su Xuan and Lin Mengxue was very good.

Lin Mengxue opened the door wider and said, “Su Xuan, come in.”

Su Xuan nodded, closed his own door, and entered Lin Mengxue’s apartment.

Lin Mengxue’s house was very clean and tidy.

Su Xuan didn’t change his shoes, and Lin Mengxue didn’t mind.

“Make yourself comfortable,” Lin Mengxue said with a slight smile to Su Xuan, then took a bottle of drink from the fridge and handed it to Su Xuan, taking a seat next to him.

She looked at him and laughed, “Su Xuan, where have you been all these years?

It’s been so long, you’ve really changed a lot, I almost didn’t recognize you.”

“Sister Xue, you also look different, as if you’ve gained some charm,” Su Xuan said, examining Lin Mengxue carefully.

Lin Mengxue was still as beautiful, but there was something different from the vibrant young girl she used to be; she seemed more mature, which Su Xuan quite liked.

“Well, I got married, of course I’ve matured a lot,” Lin Mengxue smiled.

“Hmm?

Married?” Su Xuan was taken aback, then said, “If I’m not mistaken, you’re only twenty-two now, right?”

“Yes,” Lin Mengxue laughed.

Su Xuan inwardly felt it was a pity; Lin Mengxue had married too early.

“Where’s your husband?” Suddenly, Su Xuan looked around the room, seeing no one, and immediately asked.

Lin Mengxue paused, then said, “Oh, he’s on a business trip.”

Su Xuan noticed that Lin Mengxue’s expression seemed a bit off, rather cold.

“Alright, let’s not ask too many questions, kiddo.

I’m going to take a shower; I sweated a lot coming back from shopping.

Make yourself comfortable, I’ll cook in a bit.”

Lin Mengxue said with a smile, then stood up and walked towards her room.

Su Xuan’s eyes followed Lin Mengxue; she was still stunning, and her figure was still amazing.

Her walk was as graceful as ever, swirling elegantly.

Although Lin Mengxue lost some of her girlish innocence, the maturity and allure she gained only made Su Xuan appreciate her more.

Having spent years among rough men, though they were all tough soldiers, Su Xuan found he preferred the beauty of a woman like Lin Mengxue.

Su Xuan was somewhat mesmerized when suddenly Lin Mengxue stopped at her room door, turned around, and said, “By the way, there’s food in the fridge if you’re hungry, help yourself.”

Just as Lin Mengxue finished speaking, she noticed Su Xuan’s fiery gaze.

She was taken aback for a moment, then scolded Su Xuan with a glance, saying, “What are you looking at!”

“Uh, nothing much, Sister Xue, you really have an amazing figure,” Su Xuan blurted out foolishly, then quickly averted his gaze, as if caught red-handed.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mengxue chuckled and said, “Yes, you’re not a little boy anymore, you start to appreciate women now!”

Su Xuan was taken aback as Lin Mengxue’s voice, soft and tinged with seductiveness, tantalized his heart.

“Alright, watch TV if you want, the computer is in my room if you want to play,” Lin Mengxue laughed and said.

“Oh,” Su Xuan nodded, then stood up, oriented himself towards Lin Mengxue’s room, wanting to play on the computer.

It had been years since he’d used one, and his hands were itching.
