Chapter 113: It’s just that Shangjing is a mixed bag
When Shu Yue was drawing the design, Zhou Lan and Qin Dayong came and brought Shu Yue a nutritious meal.
"These are the soups your father has been stewing for hours. You must eat them. They are good for your health."
Zhou Lan blew the soup in the spoon to cool it down, and wanted to feed it to Shu Yue herself. Shu Yue refused in vain, so she had to put down the tablet in her hand and started drinking from the spoon.
“Is it delicious?”
Qin Dayong asked Shu Yue cautiously.
Shu Yue looked at him, smiled and nodded, "It tastes good."
"That's good. This is the first time I've made this soup, and I was afraid you wouldn't like the taste."
Qin Dayong breathed a sigh of relief.
"Wife, you should drink a little too. You are weak and need to replenish yourself."
Qin Dayong went to help Zhou Lan serve soup. When Zhou Lan went to take it, she didn't hold it steady and the bowl was about to fall. Qin Dayong was quick to hold the bottom of the bowl down.
The bowl didn't fall to the ground, but the soup spilled out, and Qin Dayong's sleeve was wet.
"Are you okay?"
Zhou Lan quickly took a tissue to help him wipe it. Qin Dayong was very stable. He put the bowl down, smiled at Zhou Lan and rolled up his sleeves.
"fine."
Zhou Lan looked at the red back of his hand and blamed herself, "It's nothing, your hand is burned red, I'll take you to rinse with cold water."
She stood up and took Qin Dayong to the bathroom to wash the burned area.
Shu Yue had sharp eyes. When Qin Dayong turned around, she saw a scar on his forearm. It looked like a cut by a knife, and it spread from the elbow to the wrist. Although it had already scabbed over, it was still a little scary.
He always wore long sleeves before, so Shu Yue didn't pay much attention. Just now, he rolled up his sleeves because of the burns, which made Shu Yue see it clearly.
Shu Yue called out to him anxiously and worriedly.
"dad……"
Qin Dayong froze in his place, looking at Shu Yue in disbelief, "What did you just call me?"
Shu Yue had never called him that before. He knew that Shu Yue had not yet fully accepted that they were father and daughter, so he was not in a hurry to let her call him dad.
But he didn't expect that she would call him so suddenly, which made Qin Dayong a little overwhelmed to react.
Shu Yue also didn't know how to address them. She always felt that the words "Mom and Dad" were difficult to say. She had rarely called them "Mom and Dad" when she was a child. Later, she got used to calling them "Shu's parents", but those two didn't seem to treat her as their daughter.
Shu Yue, who had been abandoned by her parents twice in a row, didn't dare to shout it out easily.
She blurted it out in a hurry just now, and she didn't expect that saying it out loud would be such an easy thing.
She looked at Qin Dayong and pointed at his arm, "Dad, how did your hand get hurt?"
Qin Dayong was so happy when she called him "Dad" that his mouth almost stretched to his ears. "I just accidentally scratched myself while working. It's no big deal. It will scab over and heal soon. It's much lighter than your injury."
Shu Yue's call of "Dad" was like turning on a mysterious switch in him. He didn't talk much before, and because of his height and body shape, he always looked fierce, but now he was smiling and seemed very enthusiastic.
"My work has recently finished, and I can take a break next month. How about I take you out for a trip? We're a family, just the three of us, okay? Yueyue?"
Qin Dayong looked at Shu Yue expectantly.
Zhou Lan walked up to Shu Yue, touched her head and said with a smile, "Your dad is rarely free, so how about we go on a trip together as a family?"
Shu Yue looked at Zhou Lan, then at Qin Dayong. Their eyes were filled with longing for the future. This emotion also infected Shu Yue, and she also began to feel vaguely excited.
"OK."
Seeing that she agreed, Zhou Lan and Qin Dayong looked at each other and smiled at each other, as if the word happiness was embodied at this moment.
"But I promised Xue'er at the beginning of next month that I would go to Beijing to watch her competition. After her competition is over, we will go traveling."
Zhou Lan's smile froze. She looked at Shu Yue with something clearly wrong in her expression.
"You're going to Beijing?"
"Yes, the national championship finals that Chen Xueer participated in were held in Shangjing. She invited me to watch her game. What's wrong?"
Shu Yue felt that the two of them were very strange. She was so happy just now, but after hearing her say that she was going to Beijing, her face fell.
"Nothing. How long will you be gone? Your injury hasn't fully healed yet. Can you still endure the pain? It's very far to Shangjing. The flight takes six hours. You..."
The worry in Zhou Lan's eyes made Shu Yue suspicious.
"Mom, my injury heals quickly. It's only been more than half a month and I can get out of bed and jump around. The doctor said that I'm in good health and have a strong recovery ability. As long as the wound is not compressed, there will be no problem. Don't worry."
Shu Yue is actually almost recovered. With the system, her wounds heal n times faster than an ordinary person. It doesn't take long before she can be fully recovered and discharged from the hospital.
"You don't want me to go to Beijing?"
Shu Yue asked tentatively.
There is not much description of this couple in the novel. After Qin Niaoniao returned to the Shu family, they only appeared twice. Once was when they hoped that Qin Niaoniao could make a choice between twenty years of family affection and blood relationship. Qin Niaoniao decisively chose the latter.
The second time was at the original owner’s funeral. The two of them stood far away, and only came forward after the person left, leaving a jasmine flower in front of the grave.
So Shu Yue didn't know much about the couple's background.
"How could that be? It's just that Shangjing is a big place with a lot of mixed people. Besides, it's already winter in Shangjing now. It's expected to snow next month. Your mother is just worried about you."
Qin Dayong came up and put his hand on Zhou Lan's shoulder and spoke for her.
Shu Yue nodded in understanding, "Don't worry, I'll just be gone for two days and will be back soon."
"Okay, we'll go traveling when you come back."
Zhou Lan concealed the emotions in her eyes and reached out to pat the back of Shu Yue's hand.
Her gaze shifted and fell on the tablet on Shu Yue's lap. She was drawing a design for a brooch. The jasmine flower was half-open with a purple and white gradient, and the whole thing had a three-dimensional effect. However, it was only a rough draft and no detailed drawing was done yet, so the final effect could not be seen.
"Are you planning to make a three-dimensional brooch? This design is very common and not very outstanding."
Zhou Lan pointed out her problem.
Shu Yue smiled and said, "Of course I know this is not outstanding, but if I use the flower wrapping method, the effect will be different. Although the assessment only requires a draft, I still think it is necessary to make a real object, so that the work can have life."
Zhou Lan raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Shu Yue. "Your idea is good. Jewelry design is not only about jewelry, but also a kind of craftsmanship. Flower wrapping is also a non-legacy craft. Few people use this kind of design. You are very clever."
When talking about these things, Zhou Lan spoke freely and seemed to know a lot. Shu Yue couldn't help but ask her.
"You know so much? Have you studied jewelry design?"
