When Cheng Qingchong woke up the next morning, Mrs. Cheng and Qin Yinan were already in the dining room having breakfast.
Her eyes were swollen from crying the night before. Afraid that Mrs. Cheng would ask, Cheng Qingchong stayed in the bathroom, soaked a towel with cold water, and put on a thick layer of makeup. She put on a pair of glasses before leaving the bedroom.
Qin Yinan had already left for work. Cheng Qingchong helped her mother clear the table before leaving the house with her.
This was the second time her mother had come to Beijing after Cheng Qingchong's arrival.
The first time was due to her and Qin Yinan's wedding. At the time, everyone was busy preparing for the wedding, so Cheng Qingchong didn't have the time to bring her mother out. This time, Cheng Qingchong had made some arrangements.
She took her mother to the Forbidden City first and didn't come out until two o 'clock in the afternoon. Then she took her mother to eat Peking Duck and strolled around Wangfujing in the afternoon. They didn't return home until five o' clock.
Cheng Qingchong placed the clothes she bought for her parents in the living room and followed her mother to the nearby supermarket to buy some groceries. Then, she helped her mother prepare dinner.
Not long after dinner was ready, Qin Yinan returned home from work.
In front of Mrs. Cheng, Qin Yinan was always respectful and obedient. Seeing that Mrs. Cheng was busy in the kitchen, he put down the car keys and went back to his room to change into a casual outfit. He washed his hands and went into the kitchen to help with the chop and wash the vegetables.
The kitchen wasn't big, and with the three of them squeezing in, the space seemed even smaller.
Because of what happened the previous night, Cheng Qingchong purposely stayed as far away from Qin Yinan as possible, but she still managed to run into Qin Yinan occasionally.
Qin Yinan acted like nothing had happened. However, the relaxed expression on Cheng Qingchong's face started to fade. Afraid that she might give herself away if she stayed in the kitchen any longer, she made up a random excuse to use the bathroom and left.
Cheng Qingchong stood alone in the living room, and she could hear the various sounds coming from the kitchen. There was the sound of the exhaust fan, the sound of chopping vegetables, the sound of running water, her mother's happy laughter, and Qin Yinan's constant greeting of "Mom."
The atmosphere was good, but as Cheng Qingchong stared out the darkening window, her expression became more and more confused.
…
"Qingchong, what are you looking at by the window? Come and serve the dishes! "The kitchen door was pulled open and Mrs. Cheng's voice could be heard.
Cheng Qingchong immediately snapped out of her thoughts and let out an "ah". She adjusted her expression toward the window before turning around and walking toward the kitchen with an impeccable smile on her face.
Mrs. Cheng was supposed to cook for Qin Yinan, but in the end, Qin Yinan was the one cooking instead.
When Mrs. Cheng saw Cheng Qingchong walk in, she passed the prepared dishes to Cheng Qingchong and signaled for her to place them on the dining table.
There were only three people, but the dinner was very sumptuous. There were five dishes and one soup.
Mrs. Cheng and Cheng Qingchong took their seats at the dining table. When Qin Yinan returned with the last dish, Mrs. Cheng immediately beckoned for Qin Yinan to sit down. Then, she turned to Cheng Qingchong and said, "Qingchong, serve the soup."
"Let me." Qin Yinan snatched the spoon from the pot and reached for the bowl with his other hand.
When Cheng Qingchong heard her mother's order, she had already reached for the bowl.
Qin Yinan's hand rested on hers without hesitation.
