The Boss is Reborn with his Little Fairy

On the way home, they happened to pass by a dessert shop, and Wen Ke’an and Chu Han went in to buy some treats.

Chu Han bought a lot of her favorite pastries. As she happily pushed open the door to leave the shop, she unexpectedly collided with an elderly woman.

The elderly woman was just about to open the shop door when Chu Han suddenly pushed it open, causing the elderly woman to be bumped to the ground.

Seeing this scene, Chu Han was stunned.

“Um, Grandma, are you okay?” Wen Ke’an walked to the side of the elderly woman and asked softly.

“I’m sorry, Grandma, are you hurt anywhere?” Chu Han also hurried over.

Fortunately, this grandma wasn’t like those deceitful grandmas often portrayed in TV dramas.

After helping the grandma up, she kindly smiled and said, “It’s okay, just a bit of skin scraped off my hand.”

Wen Ke’an lowered her gaze and saw that the wound on the grandma’s hand was not small, and it was still bleeding.

“Grandma, there’s a small clinic nearby. Let’s go there and get your wound bandaged,” Wen Ke’an suggested.

The clinic was just around the corner, a few steps away.

The grandma didn’t have any serious health issues, just a scraped palm. The doctor quickly applied a simple bandage and some medicine to the wound.

“Are you living with your husband now?” While the grandma was being treated, Chu Han chatted with her.

“No, my husband passed away. I’m living with my grandson now,” the grandma smiled and said. “I’ve already called my grandson, he should be here in a moment.”

As soon as the grandma finished speaking, the door of the clinic opened, and a teenager in the uniform of the Middle School No. 1 entered.

Seeing the person, Chu Han was slightly stunned and instinctively looked at Wen Ke’an, whispering, “Ji Xingran?”

Wen Ke’an wasn’t as surprised as Chu Han. She looked at Ji Xingran calmly and asked, “Is she your grandma?”

Ji Xingran stared at her for a moment, then responded calmly, “Yes.”

With someone accompanying the grandma, Wen Ke’an and Chu Han bought some fruits for her and greeted the grandma before leaving the clinic.

Just a short distance away from the clinic, Chu Han mysteriously whispered, “An-An, you looked so cool just now. You didn’t even turn your head. Do you know Ji Xingran was staring at you the whole time?”

Wen Ke’an was momentarily surprised. “Really? I didn’t notice.”

“Tell me the truth, An-An, have you really given up on him now?” Chu Han leaned in, curious and gossipy.

“Did I really like him before?” Wen Ke’an couldn’t quite recall childhood memories very well. She knew she had a crush on Ji Xingran, but it didn’t seem like a strong one. Of course, it might be because it had been a long time, and she couldn’t clearly remember her feelings from back then.

“I don’t know how much you liked him, but he was the first person you ever pursued,” Chu Han said seriously.

“Oh, do you remember your previous diary? You used to write specifically for Ji Xingran,” Chu Han added.

Wen Ke’an thought for a moment. “I vaguely remember.”

“You should look for it when you get home.”

“Okay.”

“So, you’re saying you don’t like Ji Xingran anymore,” Chu Han looked at Wen Ke’an and asked with a smile, “Then who do you like now?”

Wen Ke’an lowered her gaze in silence for a moment and said directly, “Someone like Gu Ting.”

Chu Han was puzzled for a few seconds. “Huh?”

“Wen Ke’an, quickly check the forum! The trending post!”

“It seems like the writing is yours!”

After receiving messages from Jin Ming, Wen Ke’an opened the forum, a popular platform among the Middle School No. 1 students, and saw the top post.

【Found a little note on the playground yesterday, who’s the owner?】

Wen Ke’an clicked on it, and several photos appeared, showing a few yellowed pieces of paper. The paper seemed to have aged a bit, but the highlight of this post was not the paper itself but the words written on it.

The handwriting was beautiful, but the content was somewhat awkward. Phrases like “I’m willing to cook all the world’s delicacies for you, just waiting for you to look back” and “Summer rain, winter snow, only when you’re around is the happiest place” were written on it.

After Wen Ke’an carefully read it, she looked at the comments below.

“My mom hahaha, such a non-mainstream quote!”

“I guess it was written by a girl! The handwriting is quite beautiful!”

“Is this a love letter? Hahaha!”

Shortly after, Jin Ming sent another message: “Is it you who wrote it? I think it looks like yours!” 

Wen Ke’an scrutinized it for a while and reluctantly typed a single character: “Well.”

“Hahaha, so you used to be this non-mainstream!”

Wen Ke’an blushed slightly, but her expression remained calm. After reading Jin Ming’s laughter for a while, she earnestly typed five words: “I can’t face people now.”

She pondered where this note came from. Wen Ke’an thought it might have accidentally fallen from Ji Xingran, or perhaps he intentionally dropped it.

This kind of thing should have been given to him.

Wen Ke’an didn’t want to be too involved with Ji Xingran. Instead of worrying about the little note, she was more concerned about Gu Ting seeing this message.

If Jin Ming could recognize her handwriting, Gu Ting would undoubtedly recognize it as well.

Perhaps what she feared the most had happened. As Wen Ke’an walked out of school in the cold weather, she unexpectedly bumped into Gu Ting waiting for her under a distant tree.

The weather was getting colder, and snowflakes were falling these days.

Wen Ke’an was well-bundled today, with only her eyes visible on her face. She figured that Gu Ting must have come to settle the score with her. Lowering her head, she pretended not to see him and continued walking forward.

But before she took a few steps, a human wall appeared in front of her. Wen Ke’an had to stop and looked up at him, pretending to be surprised: “How did you come over? What a coincidence.”

Due to the mask covering her face, her voice sounded muffled, but her big eyes, exposed to the outside, clearly revealed her thoughts.

She really can’t act at all.

Gu Ting lowered his gaze and looked at her. He reached out and tugged at the fluffy bunny ears on her clothes, a hint of a smile in his eyes. “What a coincidence, running into you here.” After speaking, he paused for a moment and then said word by word, “Xia Tianyu.”

From Gu Ting’s mouth, hearing her past online alias, Wen Ke’an could only feel her scalp tingling. She remained calm and silent for a moment, then lowered her head, adjusted her hat, and turned to leave.

How could Gu Ting let her leave so easily? He directly reached out, grabbing the collar of her clothes near the back of her neck, and asked in a soft voice, “Where are you going?”

“I caught a cold.” Wen Ke’an looked up at Gu Ting, sniffled, and said with a serious and pitiful expression, “I can’t stay too close to you. I might infect you.”

Gu Ting was amused by her words. “Now you know you have a cold? Why didn’t you take your medicine properly these past few days? And those leftovers you didn’t want to eat, I think I cooked them for you, right?”

Seeing Wen Ke’an tactically silent, Gu Ting lowered his head to look at his phone, reading word by word, “I am willing to make all the world’s delicacies for you. Having you around is the happiest place…” Before he could finish speaking, Wen Ke’an couldn’t take it anymore, reaching out to cover his mouth. Seeing Gu Ting’s smiling eyes, Wen Ke’an knew he was deliberately teasing her. “Stop talking.”

Hearing those words recited from Gu Ting’s mouth, Wen Ke’an felt awkward to the extreme.

A hint of cunning flashed in Gu Ting’s eyes as he looked at Wen Ke’an. “I don’t have to recite them. How about we discuss some terms?”

With people coming and going in the area, Gu Ting directly took Wen Ke’an to a nearby small park.

There weren’t many people in the small park, occasionally with a few ducks passing by the lakeside.

“What do you want to discuss?” Wen Ke’an raised her head, giving him a glance, and took the initiative to ask.

“Let’s talk about our relationship,” Gu Ting suddenly dropped this bomb.

Wen Ke’an was momentarily stunned, then asked softly, “What?”

Gu Ting pretended to be sincere. “I think you’re quite adept at pursuing others. I also want to experience that.”

“…”

“Others have someone, and I also want to have someone.”

“…”

“If you want to pursue me now, let’s start by changing how you address me?” Before Wen Ke’an could respond, Gu Ting lowered his gaze, deliberately teasing her. “I saw that you used quite a few endearments in your little note.”

It’s just a change of address, what’s so difficult about that?

Wen Ke’an raised her eyes to him for a moment and said, “My sweetheart?”

Gu Ting shook his head, “Too ordinary.”

“Ting-Ting little sweetheart?”

“Too childish, sounds like you’re calling your son.”

“…”

Wen Ke’an raised her eyes to Gu Ting and asked, “Anything else?”

Gu Ting smiled and, seeing her pouting expression without softening, said, “You figure it out yourself.”

Wen Ke’an fell silent for a moment and then, in a soft voice, said, “Can’t think of any.”

“…”

Gu Ting wasn’t actually jealous or angry; he just wanted to tease her. Seeing her lower her head and looking a bit unhappy, Gu Ting still bent down to meet her gaze. He reached out and ruffled her hair, asking gently, “What’s wrong?”

Wen Ke’an wasn’t really unhappy, she was just pretending.

Seeing Gu Ting approaching, she suddenly reached out, wrapped her arms around his neck, and jumped up, hanging onto him like a koala.

In the evening breeze, she gave him a quick peck on the cheek.

Looking into his eyes, she smiled sweetly and called out, “Gege.”

“…”
