Song Qingchun was stunned by Auntie Su's sudden request. Even though she was confused, she nodded obediently and said, "Okay."
The cafe was empty, so Song Qingchun and Auntie Su found a sofa by the window and sat opposite each other.
When Auntie Su was young, she had a child, and her life was poor. At the time, Song Qingchun was still young, and she had always dreamed of being like other girls her age, drinking coffee at Starbucks. As she got richer and richer, she could afford the best coffee, but she couldn't get used to the taste. Therefore, after the waiter handed her the menu, she ordered a pot of Bi Luo Chun, which had been her favorite for many years.
The Biluochun tea was quickly served. Song Qingchun wanted to help make the tea, but Auntie Su picked up the teapot and poured two cups of tea in an orderly manner. She passed one of the cups to Song Qingchun.
"Thank you." Song Qingchun accepted it with both hands.
Auntie Su raised her head to smile. She picked up the other cup and took a sip. The aroma of the tea filled the room, but her heart was filled with a mixture of joy and sadness.
Auntie Su didn't say anything for a long time; she only took small sips of the tea.
Her silence caused a bad feeling to surface in Song Qingchun's heart. She kept glancing at Auntie Su, and after the umpteenth time, Auntie Su put down the cup in her hand and returned Song Qingchun with a kind smile. "This tea is not bad."
Song Qingchun didn't even know what the tea tasted like. When she heard Auntie Su's words, she nodded slowly and answered with a "hmm."
Auntie Su poured the boiled water into the teapot and filled the two teacups with tea in the same elegant manner she had when she was brewing tea.
When Auntie Su picked up the teacup, Song Qingchun finally couldn't help but ask, "Auntie Su, is there something you want to tell me?"
"Yes," Auntie Su answered. She didn't know what to say, so after a pause, she said, "It's cold outside. Have some hot tea first to warm yourself up, and we'll talk later."
Since she had already put it that way, even though Song Qingchun was curious, she was too embarrassed to press her, so she could only pretend to wait patiently.
After Auntie Su poured the tea for the fourth time, she finally said, "Qingchun, first of all, I have to thank you for taking care of Ah Nian."
Song Qingchun lowered the cup that she had raised to her lips. "Auntie Su, what are you talking about? Su Zhinian was injured because of me, so this is what I should do."
Auntie Su smiled and didn't dwell on the matter of whether she should thank Song Qingchun or not. She looked at Song Qingchun for a while before lowering her gaze. She sighed and cut to the chase. "Qingchun, to be honest, the reason I've been busy these few days is because I've been interviewing for Ah Nian's carer."
Interview for a carer? Song Qingchun was startled, and she realized why Auntie Su had invited her there.
Auntie Su organized her thoughts before continuing. "I apologize for my mistake. After all, you have a job and your father to keep you company. There is no reason for you to take care of Ah Nian day and night."
Song Qingchun wasn't sure whether Auntie Su was being polite or there was a deeper meaning behind her words, so she bit her lips and didn't say anything.
