A Billion Stars Can’t Amount to You

The pouring rain washed over his head.

Soon enough, his hair was soaked.

He stood, completely unaware, that he was as still as a statue.

A gust of wind blew in and blew the umbrella by his feet far away. He still didn’t show any signs of coming back to his senses.

Back at home, Lin Yinan put the shopping bags in his hands onto the living room coffee table. Then he walked into Cheng Weiwan’s bathroom.

He adjusted the temperature of the water, ran a bath for Cheng Weiwan then immediately called her to come in.

He attentively put the towel and bathrobe by the bathtub then walked out of the bathroom. He picked up the shopping bag from the supermarket and entered the kitchen.

Cheng Weiwan took a comfortable, hot bath then blow dried her hair. By the time she changed into her loungewear, Lin Yinan had already placed two dishes and soup on the dining table.

Lin Yinan turned and glanced at Cheng Weiwan when he heard movements. ”Wanwan, come over quickly and eat.”

Cheng Weiwan let out an ”Mhm.”

When she walked over to the dining table, Lin Yinana immediately helped her pull out the chair.

A second after she sat down, Lin Yinan handed her the soup and chopsticks. ”Give it a try. I recently learned how to make this.”

Cheng Weiwan hadn’t eaten since lunch, so she was really hungry. She grabbed the chopsticks, picked up some food and said, ”Yinan Ge, you shouldn’t be a psychiatrist. You should be a chef!”

Lin Yinan stared at Cheng Weiwan, who wouldn’t stop eating. She didn’t reply, so he affectionately reminded her, ”Eat slowly. It’s all yours. No one is fighting you for food.”

”Well it’s on you for cooking so well!” complained Cheng Weiwan. Then she downed the bowl full of soup and naturally handed it to Lin Yinan.

Lin Yinan took Cheng Weiwan’s empty bowl and helped scoop another serving for her. After he put the bowl into her hands, he watched her eat in satisfaction for a while then said, ”Wanwan, do you know why I learned to cook?”

”Why?” Cheng Weiwan looked up at Lin Yinan then tilted her head. She thought about the most likely reason. ”Because you don’t like to eat takeout?”

Lin Yinan smiled but didn’t say anything.

The look on his face made Cheng Weiwan think she guessed correctly. ”I knew it! Yinan Ge, I’ve known you for so many years. I know you best!” She exclaimed cheerfully.

Know me best?

If you really know me best, how come you didn’t know that I don’t like the smell of cooking and I don’t like to wash vegetables?

I learned to cook simply because you said you didn’t want to cook and you wanted to find a husband who could cook.

If you really knew me best, how could you not tell that deep down inside, I never saw you as my teacher’s daughter or treated you like my junior?

In my heart, I’ve always seen you as Wanwan, the little princess...

”Yinan Ge, what are you thinking?” Cheng Weiwan hadn’t gotten any reply from Lin Yinan. She stopped eating and looked up at him with a confused look on her face.

Lin Yinan hurriedly hid the pain in his heart and smiled warmly at Cheng Weiwan. ”Thinking about it, time flew by! In the blink of an eye, you’ve got Hanhan. I remember the first time I saw you. You were still in junior high and you were crying because you couldn’t solve a math question!”

At the mention of her embarrassing past, Cheng Weiwan glared angrily at Lin Yinan then lowered her head and continued eating.

After Cheng Weiwan was full, Lin Yinan tidied up the dining table and cleaned up all the dishes. Then he cut some fruit he carefully picked out into little pieces. After he mixed them into the yogurt, he pushed it towards Cheng Weiwan.
