These are the kinds of everyday things that would never appear in Pei Wu's house, which is more like a 'showroom'.

Immediately afterwards, Pei Wu heard Jin Fei and Jin Xiao talking.

Pei Wu first glanced at her open kitchen and saw Jin Wei chopping vegetables. Then she heard the children's voices and looked towards the living room, where the two little ones were arguing over the remote control.

"Didn't you say you'd be busy until very late today?" Jin Wei glanced at the time. "It's earlier than I expected."

"..." Pei Wu paused for a moment, then chuckled and replied, "Yes. It's a little earlier than I expected."

As Pei Wu spoke, she first walked slowly to the sofa, patted the children's heads a few times, and then walked towards the kitchen.

Looking at Jin Wei's not-so-skilled knife work, she asked, "Didn't you say you were going to work overtime? Why did you suddenly decide to cook?"

Jin Wei, who has been studying abroad alone for many years, can cook, but only some simple home-style dishes.

Right now, he's making something relatively simple: scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

"..." Jin Wei remained silent, though he slightly raised his eyebrows, he did not lift his lowered eyes, and his hands were slicing tomatoes one slice at a time.

After washing her hands, Pei Wu prepared to take the kitchen knife from Jin Wei's hand, saying, "I'll do it."

Jin Wei didn't let go, but instead asked sarcastically, "Miss Pei, can you cook?"

Pei Wu raised an eyebrow upon hearing similar words from the past.

"People always improve. Besides, the last time I went home, I saw my mom chopping vegetables while my dad was cooking. That's just how life is."

Jin Wei clearly grasped the meaning of the words "living life," and after pausing his chopping motion, a faint smile appeared on his lips.

"Do you think you can run away? It's just that you've been working overtime until now and you're tired, so let's take a break for today."

"Not tired."

Hearing Pei Wu say this, Jin Wei looked up at her and said, "Your eyes are very red. Go take a shower first."

As he was speaking, Jin Wei reached out and shoved Pei Wu.

"Oh well."

Pei Wu had no choice but to listen to Jin Wei.

Pei Wu had previously told Jin Wei the code to her house and said, "My house is your house too." The two of them even set up two rooms for the two children and added a lot of children's furniture, toys, and daily necessities.

This move also added a lot of life to Pei Wu's house.

Soon, Pei Wu finished her shower, and Jin Wei brought out a simple meal of three dishes and a soup.

To match the size of the house, Pei Wu's table is large enough to fit eight chairs, and a vase with flowers is placed on a turntable in the center of the table.

Pei Wu rarely eats at home. Even when she does eat at home, she will only move a chair and sit at a corner of the table to eat.

He seemed somewhat lost and listless... appearing quite dejected.

Today is different from before. The house is much more lively when the children are around. The usually quiet house is now filled with the background noise of the cartoons the children are watching and their giggles.

Even the vase that had been on the turntable in the center of the round table was nowhere to be found, replaced by the food that Jin Wei had served... Scattered around the corners of the table were the children's schoolbags, and stationery and notebooks that hadn't been put away yet...

The notebook, with its creases clearly visible, lay on the table without a closed page. Inside were Chinese characters written by Jin Fei and Jin Xiao. Perhaps they were just beginning to practice writing, or perhaps they had only recently returned to China and hadn't had much exposure to Chinese characters yet, as the handwriting was crooked and messy.

When Pei Wu walked over, Jin Wei, who was planning to help the little ones pack their schoolbags, frowned slightly when he saw the words on his two children's bags.

He was clearly engrossed in his work and didn't notice Pei Wu approaching until she reached out and took the notebook from his hand. Only then did he turn his head to look at her in surprise.

"Are kindergartens starting to teach writing now?" Pei Wu asked.

"Um."

Pei Wu looked at the children's crooked handwriting and chuckled, "Actually... they're still young, there's no need to rush."
