Shi Nuan’s eyes brightened, “Really?”

Gu Dai nodded affirmatively, “Of course!”

At that moment, the racing venue erupted into chaos, followed by Lin Mo and Xia Yi being rushed to the hospital.

Seeing the blood on their foreheads, Gu Dai felt a chill in her heart, “Nuannuan, you were lucky to have dodged in time, or you might have been the one injured.”

Shi Nuan also patted her chest in relief, “I’m glad I dodged quickly.”

Gu Dai nodded, then curiously asked, “Nuannuan, when did you learn to race?”

Shi Nuan’s face turned a slight red, “I…”

Gu Dai sighed, “Alright, I understand. It must have something to do with my Third Brother.”

Shi Nuan shyly turned her head, coughing lightly in embarrassment.

When Meng Zhi approached, he saw Gu Dai and Shi Nuan talking and couldn’t help but ask curiously, “What are you talking about?”

Gu Dai, seeing Shi Nuan’s face turn even redder as if she was about to be cooked, quickly intervened, “It’s a secret between girlfriends, so we won’t tell you!”

Meng Zhi expressed his disappointment, “Alright then.”

As he walked, he mentioned to Gu Dai, “I heard from Uncle Zhang that grandma has fractured her leg. Is it serious?”

Gu Dai nodded, then shook his head, “With proper rest and recovery, she will be fine. There’s no life-threatening danger.”

Meng Zhi sighed in relief, “That’s good.”

Meng Zhi suggested, “Why don’t we bring grandma home? We can hire a family doctor for better care.”

Gu Dai nodded in agreement.

Shi Nuan’s eyes sparkled as she looked at Gu Dai, “Daidai, I haven’t seen Grandma Xu for a long time. Let me go with you to pick her up, and we can have dinner together.”

Gu Dai agreed, “Sure.”

After they brought Grandma Xu home, Gu Dai said, “I’ll cook. You all chat for a bit; dinner will be ready soon.”

Shi Nuan hurriedly followed Gu Dai, “Daidai, let me help you.”

Gu Dai whispered to her, “Take this chance to get along with my Third Brother!”

Shi Nuan shook her head nervously, stuttering, “I’m nervous, and I… Meng Zhi, why are you here?”

Meng Zhi entered the kitchen, smiling, “I’ll help you.”

Shi Nuan puzzled, “What about Grandma Xu?”

Meng Zhi replied, “Yinyin is with her. If there’s any issue, she’ll come and call us.”

Gu Dai, reassured, let go of her worries. With everyone in the kitchen, although she was a hindrance, Shi Nuan and Meng Zhi could still interact.

However, Gu Dai overestimated Meng Zhi and Shi Nuan’s cooking skills. To her surprise, they managed to set the pot on fire in just a moment’s lapse.

Shi Nuan froze, crying out in panic, “Daidai, what should we do?”

Meng Zhi paced around, muttering, “Fire extinguisher, where is the fire extinguisher?”

Gu Dai pursed her lips, swiftly covered the pot with a lid to extinguish the fire, and then ushered Meng Zhi and Shi Nuan out of the kitchen, “Please, go talk with grandma. Don’t wreak havoc in the kitchen anymore.”

In less than an hour, Gu Dai masterfully prepared a table full of delicious dishes, filling the house with a tantalizing aroma.

Gu Yin, hugging Gu Dai’s leg and jumping excitedly, exclaimed, “Cousin, your cooking smells so good! I want to cook just like you!”

Gu Dai picked up Gu Yin, smiling, “When Yinyin grows up a bit more, I’ll teach you, okay?”

Gu Yin nodded vigorously, her voice clear and sweet, “Okay!”

As Meng Zhi and Shi Nuan helped Grandma Xu to the table, they dared not look at Gu Dai during the meal.

Gu Dai sighed, “It’s okay, don’t feel guilty. The fire is out. Just be more careful in the future; we don’t want any more accidents.”

Grandma Xu nodded in agreement, “Indeed.”

She then reminisced about the past, saying, “Daidai, you’ve always been calm. Even as a child caught in a fire, while the adults were panicking, not knowing what to do, you managed to get out on your own.”

Gu Dai too remembered the incident, nodding with a smile.

But in her heart, she sighed. How could she not have been afraid of the fire back then? Surrounded by flames, with the house collapsing, she had no choice but to endure.

It was during that fire she had saved a boy who promised to repay her someday.

However…

Reflecting on the things Song Ling had done over the past three years, Gu Dai deeply sighed. She never expected that the boy, once grown, would turn out this way..
