Lu Shaotong Never Said This Was Our Newlywed Home!

[Older, Fatherly Hero × Top Gaokao Scorer]

[A gentle, healing sweet romance / Both virgins / Happy ending]

At the most miserable point in Cen Jia’s life, a buzz-cut man took her in.

He let her stay in the newly renovated home he had planned to live in after getting married, and charged her a thousand yuan in rent.

Every few days, he showed up with rice and cooking oil, fixed the pipes, or changed a light bulb.

Once, when he answered a late-night phone call, he said only three words: “Lock the door.”

She stayed for an entire summer, living in his home, the one his grandmother had left him to use as his marital home.

She stayed until her dresses hung on the balcony, her yogurt filled his fridge, and her hair ties appeared on the coffee table.

Then September came, and it was time for her to leave.

He leaned against the elevator, hands in his pockets, and stood there without moving for a long time.

At last, he said, “You can keep the key.”

After she left, he tidied the apartment until it was spotless.

He replaced the expired yogurt in the fridge with fresh ones, and carefully put the hair tie she had left on the coffee table away in a drawer.

He thought that after she had lived there, the place could never really be a marital home again.
