The kitchen was open. Bai Ran was cooking seriously. Chen Chen sat on the sofa and watched from afar. He found her extremely charming and could not tear his eyes away for a moment.
Bai Ran accidentally saw his gaze. It was so fixed that she was actually a little embarrassed, and her cheeks turned red.
“Why are you looking at me like that?” Bai Ran said reproachfully.
“It’s nice to look at!” Chen Chen smiled and shouted openly.
Bai Ran’s face turned even redder. “It’s just cooking. What’s there to see?”
Chen Chen smiled cheekily and said, “You’re just good-looking. Seeing you like this makes me feel like I have a home.”
Bai Ran originally wanted to rebut him, but after some thought, she did not say anything. The atmosphere was a little awkward.
Chen Chen quickly said, “Don’t think too much. I just miss my childhood very much. I haven’t felt at home for many years.”
Bai Ran was puzzled. She turned around and said, “Why? Your parents are still alive, and your childhood was very happy. Why doesn’t it feel like home?”
Chen Chen shook his head and said, “When I was young, my mother accompanied me every day and even cooked for me personally. At night, the entire house was filled with laughter. With my grandparents, parents, and sister, the entire family enjoyed the happiness of being together. How blissful was that?! Most importantly, you were also there at that time. When they were not around, you were the one who accompanied me…”
As Chen Chen spoke, his eyes were filled with stars. They were all memories of that time.
When he said the last sentence, Bai Ran’s fingers stopped cutting.
Indeed, she was too happy when she was young. She stayed with her Brother Chen every day. Later, Chen Chen neglected her. After a long time of pain, she accepted reality and went to the Chen family again. She avoided Chen Chen and did not understand Chen Chen’s situation when she was young anymore.
“Later, my parents became busier and busier, and Grandpa was always not around. Chen Lin was also sent out of the country. I did not see them for a long time and separated from you. I used my time every day on Hu Wan,” Chen Chen said as he lowered his head. He was a little sad and guilty. “Our house has not been so warm in a long time.”

When Bai Ran heard this, she did not know what to say for a moment. She could only deliberately avoid the topic of being abandoned and say, “Your parents also sacrificed a lot to let you siblings live a superior life. Life is never perfect.”
Chen Chen nodded and sighed. “You’re right. People can’t want everything. I can’t enjoy everything now but complain about not having my parents’ company.”
The next second, he changed his tone and said seriously, “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have pushed you away myself either. However, I thought that you would never be by my side again. I just want to accompany you well.”
With that, he stood up and said, “I’ll help you!”
He only wanted to completely ignore Bai Ran’s reply that might continue to deny it.
When Bai Ran heard that, since Chen Chen did not continue to pester her on this topic, she listened silently and only stopped him. “No need, no need. Just sit down. I can do it myself.”
Chen Chen smiled and said, “You might not believe me if I tell you. I prefer this kind of mundane life. Unfortunately, this kind of life has always been out of my reach.”
Bai Ran was stunned again.

Chen Chen quickly said, “You must think I’m being unreasonable, right? It’s okay. Everyone around me thinks so. They think I have everything, but now, I’m saying that I want to live a poor life. I must be moaning about nothing. Actually, I’m indeed moaning about nothing. My current life has already made many people envious…”
“I believe you!” Bai Ran looked at him in confusion, her tone devoid of suspicion.
“What did you say?” Chen Chen was in disbelief.
“I said I believe you. You’re not a person who likes empty fame. You’ve always wanted to pursue the calmness in your heart, like to live an ordinary life, and like the essence of human nature. I have no reason to not believe you, because this kind of pursuit is the highest level.”
Bai Ran was not surprised. As she cooked, she said calmly, “That’s why you’re clearly busy with the company’s matters every day, but you still have to take the time to learn to cook in private. At that time, you’ll feel that you belong to yourself.”
