It was already past eleven when the two returned home, and the lights in the living room were still on.
All the other aunts and confinement nannies in the house had gone off work, only Aunt Liu and Uncle Chen insisted on waiting for Lu Jinghuai and Lin Yan to come back.
Lin Yan was also inexplicably moved when she saw the two elderly people in the living room.
However, the two of them were old and their spirits were not very good at night. Now that they were both back safely, Lin Yan naturally asked Aunt Liu and Uncle Chen to go back to the house and rest quickly.
Aunt Liu and Uncle Chen did not refuse, and the living room became quiet again. At this time, Lin Yan's stomach growled.
"Are you hungry?" Lu Jinghuai also looked over. It was actually quite normal to be hungry. The two of them had been in the police station all afternoon today, and their last meal was at the Song family?
Lin Yan hummed and rubbed her stomach. At first she didn't feel anything because she was too busy, but now she was feeling hungry. If she didn't eat something, she probably wouldn't be able to sleep today.
"I'll cook some noodles, you can have some too." Lin Yan took off her coat and tied her hair into a bun.
Lu Jinghuai also responded. At this time, his cell phone rang. The caller was Lu Yingqian. Lu Yingqian called at this time, probably because she learned about what happened today from Liang Huo.
"Qianqian's call, I'll go answer it."
Lu Jinghuai answered the phone, and it was indeed Lu Yingqian who asked anxiously: "Brother, are you and sister-in-law okay..."
Lin Yan didn't hear the rest of the words because she went into the kitchen.
Lin Yan’s cooking skills can’t be considered good at all, it can only be said to be just passable.
After all, her previous life didn’t give her the chance to practice cooking, but a bowl of noodles was no problem.
Lin Yan boiled a pot of water, found noodles in the refrigerator, and washed some vegetables.
At this moment, footsteps were heard behind him. It was Lu Jinghuai who followed him into the kitchen. "Green vegetable noodles? Do you want me to fry two eggs?"
"Okay." Lin Yan nodded.
Lin Yan doesn't like boiled eggs or fried eggs. Even when eating noodles, she prefers fried eggs, the kind with the egg whites fried until golden and crispy.
The kitchen is quite big, and the two of them can each have a stove without disturbing each other. Lin Yan can cook noodles as soon as the water boils.
Lu Jinghuai had already cracked two eggs with one hand, and the sound of frying eggs in the pan could be heard.
Lu Jinghuai also talked about the phone call just now.
"The call just now was from Qianqian. She heard from Liang Huo about what happened to us this afternoon. She also called you, but your phone seems to be turned off."
"It's turned off?" Lin Yan exclaimed, "Ah!" She didn't hear the phone ringing. She wrinkled her nose and said, "I guess the phone is out of battery. I haven't charged it since I left home today."
"Yeah, it's okay. Qianqian was just worried about us. I said a few words to her and then hung up. It was time to turn off the lights in her dormitory."
Lin Yan nodded.
The noodles in the pot were already cooked soft. Lin Yan poured the vegetables in, blanched them briefly, and then turned off the heat.
"My noodles are cooked."
Lin Yan turned around and found two soup bowls in the closet and scooped out the noodles.
On the other side, Lu Jinghuai also turned off the fire. Two golden fried eggs were particularly perfect, one in each bowl.
In the restaurant, the two of them ate some simple egg noodles in clear soup face to face, with steam rising from the noodle soup.
Eating too much at night can easily cause indigestion, so Lin Yan didn’t cook much noodles, and she only made herself 70% full after eating them.
After washing up, it was already past twelve o'clock. The two of them didn't do anything else and just turned off the lights and went to bed.
…
The next day was a weekday. Lin Yan got up as usual and went downstairs. The confinement nanny was holding Yaya in the living room and walking around the living room.
Lin Yan looked at the time. It was only seven o'clock. Yaya usually didn't get up so early.
The confinement nanny who was holding Yaya seemed to have heard Lin Yan's footsteps coming down the stairs and turned around to look over.
Yaya also saw Lin Yan, and her mouth pouted, looking a little pitiful.
Lin Yan walked over and hugged Yaya. She softened her voice and asked Yaya with a smile, "What's wrong with our Yaya? You don't look happy. Are you hungry?"
As she spoke, Lin Yan rubbed the little girl's belly. The bulge must have been because the confinement nanny had fed her after she got up.
Lin Yan looked at the confinement nanny, but the confinement nanny spoke quickly.
"The little lady probably didn't see her parents yesterday, and she missed them so much that she woke up so early this morning."
After the nanny finished speaking, Yaya rubbed against Lin Yan's arms with a wronged look, as if it was indeed as the nanny said.
Lin Yan's eyes softened. She gently pinched Yaya's little face and asked.
"Yaya, do you miss your mother?"
Yaya can't speak yet, she can only hum, but it is these humming and whining sounds that seem to be echoing Lin Yan's words.
"It was my fault that I didn't accompany Yaya yesterday. I missed her a little bit too."
Yaya seemed to understand what Lin Yan said and started giggling with a clear and crisp sound.
At this time, Lu Jinghuai also came downstairs. The little girl looked aggrieved when she saw her father, just like when she saw Lin Yan just now.
Lin Yan was delighted and shared her discovery with Lu Jinghuai who happened to be coming downstairs, and mentioned her daughter by the way.
"She's so clever, so smart at such a young age, as if she can understand what I say."
Lu Jinghuai had already picked up Yaya. When he heard Lin Yan say this, he lowered his eyes and smiled to tease Yaya in his arms.
"Is that so? Our Yaya is really smart."
Lu Jinghuai and Lin Yan didn't play with Yaya all the time. After Lu Jinghuai teased Yaya for a few more words, he handed the child to the nanny.
After a simple tidy up and breakfast, the couple left for the company.
