When Nanny Li returned with a pile of things, she saw that the originally empty house was lively.

After stuffing the supplies into the fridge, Nanny Li received a message from the manor.

In the living room, Haru was playing with the little plane while Lisa leaned on the sofa and ate fruits.

"Young Master, Madam, I want to take a leave. My partner fell at home accidentally and my children are not by his side. He called me and asked me to go back and take care of him." Nanny Li walked out of the kitchen looking very anxious.

"It's nothing. Go back. We can order takeout ourselves." Lisa took a strawberry and put it in her mouth, agreeing to Nanny Li's leave.

"Okay, thank you, Madam." With Lisa's permission, Nanny Li left the apartment.

There were only three people left in the house.

"Haru, what do you want to eat?" After reading the entire book, Lisa closed the book and looked at Haru.

"Mommy, I want to eat the noodles you made." Haru kept playing with the toys in his hands. He thought of the delicious shredded meat noodles that Lisa had made last time and drooled.

"Then I'll make it for you."

Lisa entered the kitchen and Jungkook brought the little dumpling to the sofa.

"Daddy, what are you doing?" Lisa waved his arms and legs in the air as he looked at Jungkook accusingly.

"Don't think about eating this and that every day in the future. Your mother has worked hard. Don't let her cook for you, do you hear me?"

Upon hearing Jungkook's words, Haru stopped flapping his arms. His big eyes were filled with self-reproach. "Okay, Daddy."

"Go and play." After Jungkook warned Haru, he stood up and walked to the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Lisa was putting water in the pot and preparing to bring it to the stove.

"Let me do it." Jungkook strode over and stood beside Lisa.

Seeing that Jungkook was boiling water, Lisa wanted to wash the vegetables. Before her hand could touch them, Jungkook's hand had already reached over.

"Why are you using your hands that play the zither to wash the vegetables?"

.......

Lisa thought to herself, 'This is also the hand that signs contracts worth billions'.

Lisa was about to cut the vegetables when Jungkook took the knife.

Lisa wanted to get the bowl, but Jungkook blocked the door.

"Can't I even pick up a pair of chopsticks?" Lisa was helpless.

"Okay, take it." Jungkook made way for her, and Lisa realized that Jungkook had already arranged the cutlery.

Lisa had no choice but to advise Jungkook verbally.

"Wow! Mommy, you're finally done!" Haru, whose stomach was rumbling, finally saw Jungkook and Lisa appear at the kitchen door.

Haru eagerly sat on the chair, picked up a chopstick of noodles, and fed it to his mouth.

Huh? Why does it not taste right?


Haru was about to speak when he received Jungkook's gaze. He quietly swallowed the noodles in his mouth and ate them obediently.

Although it could not compare to what Lisa had made herself, Lisa had been guiding him from the side. The taste was also not bad. The three of them finished the pot of noodles.

The child digested quickly. Haru bounced around until he was tired. He lay on the bed and fell asleep. Lisa and Jungkook were still sitting on the balcony.

The moon was as cold as water and the lights were as bright as stars.

"Have you forgotten that you promised me something?" Jungkook suddenly asked.

"What is it?"

"Didn't you say you were going to compose a song for me last time?"

Hearing Jungkook's words, Lisa recalled that she had indeed agreed to Jungkook's request the previous time. In the end, she had been too busy these days and had been delayed.

"Let me think of the lyrics for you first."

"There's no need. Just play a casual piece. It's fine as long as it's different from others."

"Okay." In order to deal with the production team of "I am a Superstar", Lisa had specially brought Feng Xiqin with her when she came to the apartment. Lisa got up to go get the zither and returned not long after.

Lisa sat on the ground and placed the zither on her lap. She casually made a tune, and a soothing melody spilled out of the simple zither.

That sense of history came again. Jungkook's eyes were deep. There were a few times when Lisa gave him a sense of history that exceeded the limits of time and space. She was so graceful, noble, and elegant.

Lisa flipped her fingers, and the light melody surrounded Jungkook, making him relax.

Lisa hummed softly to the tune.

Jungkook glanced at Lisa beside him.

If one were to say that Lisa, who had smiled and said happy birthday to him in front of ten thousand lanterns, was as scorching as the sun.

Those countless peaceful moments were like a warm breeze in spring, gently blowing into his heart, making him infatuated with this faint but bone-deep gentleness.

"Alright, are you satisfied?" Ten minutes later, Lisa put down the zither in her hand.

"Although I've heard you play the zither a few times, you're still very amazing this time," Jungkook said rather seriously.

Jungkook spoke sincerely, making Lisa very happy. A small dimple appeared on her face.

She placed the zither aside and was about to stand up when she felt a numbing sensation in her legs and sat back down.

Jungkook sensed Lisa's discomfort and hurriedly walked to her. "Is your leg numb?"

"Mm, it's probably because I sat here to play and didn't move much, so my leg is numb."

Lisa was about to say that she would be fine after a short rest when she saw Jungkook squatting down.

"Bear with it." Just as he finished speaking, Jungkook reached out and held Lisa's calves and ankles, helping her push and pull with great strength.

After a person's legs turned numb, even the slightest movement would make them itch, let alone Jungkook's large actions.

Lisa felt a numbing pain that pierced straight into her heart. Although she didn't want to cry, the pain still made her eyes tear up.

"It hurts. Be gentler." Lisa could not help but call out softly. Her delicate voice had a hint of trembling.

Jungkook looked up and met Lisa's teary eyes. Under the light, they were mesmerizing.

The hand holding Lisa's ankle suddenly tightened. Jungkook's throat rolled, and his voice was a little hoarse. "Speak properly."

"But you're hurting me a little." Lisa was still conflicted about Jungkook's strength. As she spoke, her voice trembled slightly.

She did not notice that Jungkook's eyes had darkened.

"Lisa," Jungkook called out softly.

"Huh?" Lisa looked at Jungkook in confusion, only to see Junkook approaching her. In the end, he stopped when their noses were almost touching.

"Do you trust me too much?" Jungkook stared intently into Lisa's eyes. Only then did Lisa notice the flames that were about to burn in his eyes and the warmth that was about to burn her ankle by his touch.
