Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

Chapter 444 Guan Juer 15

"Yes, we came here for dinner and to meet Guan Guan's boyfriend. Have you met him before?" Cheng Lu said with a smile.

"I only saw it once, on the day the art exhibition opened." Yunshang had a good memory and remembered seeing the man in Guan Juer's office that day.

Xiao Qi shook its head, indicating that it had never seen him before. Although it had already checked Zhou Ling's information, it did not say so.

On the day of the race, both of them were busy and didn't go, nor did they see each other.

Cheng Lu stroked her chin: "It's not too late to meet today. Let's see who stole our cabbage."

"Hahaha." Xiao Qi and Yun Shang were amused by what she said.

Hearing their conversation, Guan Juer walked over and deliberately said, "Want to eat cabbage? I'll stir-fry some for you later."

"Let's stir-fry it, let's all eat cabbage tonight." Cheng Lu smiled and went to help Xiao Qi wash the vegetables.

As soon as Zhou Ling opened the door and came in, he heard the laughter and chatter of several people.

Hearing the noise, everyone turned to look. Guan Juer walked straight over and asked, "You're back. Did you buy flowers again?"

"Yes, I saw you liked it yesterday, and I was thinking that the coffee table was still missing a bouquet of flowers." Zhou Ling held up a bouquet of flowers and smiled as he finished speaking to her.

He then addressed the other three people who were sizing him up, saying, "Hello, I'm Guan Guan's boyfriend, Zhou Ling."

"Hello, I'm Cheng Lu, Guan Guan's good friend." The moment Cheng Lu saw him, she nodded inwardly, thinking that he and Guan Guan were a good match in terms of appearance.

Judging from their conversation, he was very gentle with Guan Guan, and his eyes were sincere. He seems to be a good person.

Xiao Qi and Yun Shang also greeted Zhou Ling, and everyone got to know each other.

"I often hear Guan Guan mention you guys, saying you're her best friends."

“Yes, definitely,” Cheng Lu said.

Xiao Qi jokingly said, "Sister Guan Guan is like my own sister."

"Mm." Yunshang simply nodded.

Guan Juer smiled and urged them to leave: "Alright, you guys go sit over there, I'm going to start cooking."

After arranging the flowers, Zhou Ling immediately rolled up her sleeves and washed her hands: "Let me help you."

The two were busy in the kitchen, while the other three sat on the sofa chatting.

Guan Juer skillfully stirred the food with a spatula, while Zhou Ling handed her seasonings and observed her movements.

Although he can't cook, he can try to learn.

Dinner went fairly well. Before leaving, Cheng Lu pulled Guan Juer aside and said a few words: "It seems pretty good so far. You have good taste."

Should I thank you for your compliment?

Cheng Lu said earnestly, "If you want to thank me, you can."

"You'd better leave quickly."

"Haha, I'm off then." Cheng Lu went downstairs with Xiao Qi and Yun Shang.

Before leaving, they made plans to have dinner at Xiaoqi's restaurant next week.

Only the two of them were left at home, and Zhou Ling was taking the dishes out of the dishwasher.

Guan Juer took her clothes to take a shower; she felt a slight smell of cooking oil on her clothes after cooking.

When she came out, she saw Zhou Ling standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window answering a phone call.

They must have said something on the other end of the phone; he seemed somewhat helpless.

Guan Juer didn't pay attention anymore. She sat on the sofa, drying her hair while watching TV.

A moment later, Zhou Ling hung up the phone, came over, took the towel from her hand, and dried her hair.

"My mom just called me and said I haven't been home in a long time?"

"And then? Are you going home?"

"Then, I told her I had a girlfriend, and her attitude changed instantly. She told me not to come back." Zhou Ling said this with a hint of helplessness.

Guan Juer raised an eyebrow: "Your mom is quite interesting."

"You really think so? Then would you like to come home with me?"

"You're really good at taking advantage of people's advances. We've only been together a short time, and you already want to introduce me to your parents?"

Zhou Ling felt that she had almost finished drying her hair, so he put the towel aside and said, "Yeah, I want to marry you as soon as possible."

"There's no rush. And let's make it clear first, I'll definitely be living in Shanghai long-term."

"I know, I feel the same way. Wherever you are, I'll be there too."

Guan Juer took his hand and led him to sit down on the sofa, then found a comfortable spot to lean against him: "Rest for a while. Do you have to work tomorrow?"

"What are your plans? You can deal with work later, I can stay with you first," Zhou Ling said, putting his arm around her.

Guan Juer shook her head: "It's nothing, I was just asking."

Zhou Ling looked disappointed for a moment; he had thought she was going on a date with him.

"I'm going to take a shower first, wait for me."

Guan Juer waved her hand: "Go ahead."

Zhou Ling went into the bathroom; she had just planned to watch TV quietly for a while.

Xiao Qi's voice suddenly came: "Host, I just came back from the system next door. I brought Hua Hua a gift, and it likes it very much, hehe."

"I'm glad you like it," Guan Juer replied casually, reclining on the sofa.

She remembered the gifts they had brought her, which she hadn't opened yet.

So she stood up, walked to a corner, picked up the suitcase, and opened it.

Upon opening the box, I found it was filled with various items, including local souvenirs, beautiful ornaments and jewelry, postcards, and some food.

She took out the food, put some of the rest into her storage space, and displayed the rest at home. She also picked out a pretty bracelet to wear.

Xiao Qi had been paying close attention to her movements: "Host, do you like it?"

"Yes, you're so thoughtful, you still remember me no matter where you go."

"Of course, there's plenty of food in the space. It's all food that Yunshang and I thought was delicious, so we bought it and stocked it up."

"Well done," Guan Juer praised.

After Zhou Ling finished showering, she came over to help her tidy up: "Where did all this come from?"

He looked through the contents, somewhat curious.

"Yunshang and Xiaoqi brought these back for me from their trip."

"It seems you two have a really good relationship."

"Mm." After all, they had spent more time together than anyone else, and they would always be by her side from now on.

After tidying up, the two went to rest, and it was another passionate night.

"dong dong dong~"

When the knocking sounded, Guan Juer had just finished a painting. She hadn't painted for a while, but today she was inspired and painted very smoothly.

She had just put down her pen to admire her work when a knock on the door forced her to open it.

"Guan Guan, are you home?" Qiu Yingying's voice came along with the knocking.

Guan Juer opened the door: "At home, what's wrong?"

"Andy invited everyone to her house for dinner and asked me to check if you were home. You should come too."

Just as Guan Juer was about to politely decline, Qiu Yingying continued, "Since you're eating alone too, why don't you join us?"

Upon hearing this, she thought about it and realized that Xiao Qi and Yun Shang would both be eating out after finishing their work tonight, and Zhou Ling would have social engagements and wouldn't be back so early.

"Okay, then you go back first, I'll come right away after I tidy up." She was still wearing her pajamas and needed to change.

Qiu Yingying smiled and said, "Okay, then we'll wait for you."
