The morning light is breaking and the sun is rising.

When Ying Sisi woke up, she was the only one left in the room.

I glanced at the wall clock and it was already half past eight.

Her eyes shifted and she caught a glimpse of the note on the bedside table.

She picked it up:

Si Si, I saw you were sleeping soundly so I didn’t wake you up. You don’t have to pick me up today.

Ying Sisi put the note down, then picked it up again after a flash of inspiration. She got out of bed, found the note he had left her earlier, and compared them. They were both the same and different.

The handwriting is identical.

But the punctuation is used differently.

The two notes he left earlier were punctuated.

The commas and periods left now are clearly distinguished.

She began to think they were two people again, but her parents-in-law and friends and family had never mentioned that Qin Yanci was a twin. And even if there really was a twin brother or sister, it was impossible for both to live with her.

What does this look like?

It doesn't make sense at all.

Thinking of this, she put her doubts aside again, put the note away and got up.

At noon, she made lunch on time, waited for a long time but saw no one, so she prepared to go out and look for him.

As soon as she went downstairs, she saw Qin Yanci and Qin's father walking together, heading towards her.

She waved: "Aci."

Qin Yanci raised his eyes and saw the woman wearing a beige long coat and a white knitted scarf. Her hair was tied loosely with a few strands of hair floating around her ears.

The sunlight hit her face, lazy and bright.

Every frown and smile occupied his entire gaze.

"Dad, good afternoon." Ying Sisi greeted him after walking closer.

Father Qin smiled and said, "Hey, have you eaten yet?"

"Not yet. Have you eaten? I made braised pork ribs and a pot of eel soup."

"Not yet. I'm just waiting to eat what you cook."

"Then let's go." Ying Sisi invited enthusiastically. At the same time, she walked to Qin Yanci's side, stood side by side with him, and whispered, "How was the exam?"

"Of course I passed. The final exam will be held tomorrow. If I perform well, I can be admitted to Yenching University in advance." Qin Yanci smiled and couldn't help sharing.

Ying Sisi said silently, I have little education, but I am not stupid.

Is it so easy to get into Yenching University?

There are hundreds of people competing, but you are the only one who stands out?

If you don't pass the exam, don't get angry and drag me into it because you lost face by bragging. She chose her words carefully, "I have confidence in you. But if you fail the exam, you don't have to worry too much. The important thing is to participate.

Qin Yanci responded: "I'll do as you say."

Ying Sisi felt much more at ease. When the three of them returned home, she went into the kitchen to serve the meal, and Qin Yanci helped to set the table.

Qin's father saw it and was filled with worry.

Both of them care about Si Si so much, what will happen if the truth cannot be hidden in the future?

Why.

Mind their own business!

If his daughter-in-law questions him in the future, he will say he doesn't know.

"Dad, do the ribs taste good?"

Qin's father thought she wanted to comment, so he ate two pieces and savored them carefully. "Not bad, the taste is fragrant and salty, the ribs are crispy and tender, and your cooking skills have improved compared to before."

Ying Sisi smiled and pointed at the eel: "This tastes good too. I caught it by the river yesterday. Try it. The villagers in our village said it can nourish the body."

Father Qin almost choked.

Let him make up for it?

All right.

The child didn't understand, so he didn't take it personally: "I don't like soup, let Yanci drink it. Yanci, you drink it, don't let Sisi down."

"Why did you disappoint? You drank."

"You drink it."

Ying Sisi didn't understand why they didn't drink it. She tasted it and found it much better than fish soup: "I'll drink it myself."

She drank the soup to her heart's content.

After dinner, Qin's father left.

Ying Sisi asked, "Aci, do you want to stay home and read or go out for a walk?"
