She slept until midnight before waking up. Qiao Xiaoni felt her stomach wasn't hurting as much as before, and after drinking a big bowl of hot chicken soup, she felt completely revitalized.
"How about it, would you like something else to eat?" Su Chenhao took the large bowl that was handed to him.
Qiao Xiaoni shook her head: "I'm already full, I can't eat anything else. Or you could peel an apple for me, I'll eat an apple later."
Su Chenhao obediently did as he was told, took the bowl back to the kitchen, washed it, and then cut the apple.
With nothing to do, Qiao Xiaoni took out Zhou Meiling's notes and glanced through them briefly. She got a general idea of what classes the school had covered in the past two weeks.
Su Chenhao brought the plate in and placed it on the windowsill. Since there was one less table in the room, the food had to be placed on the windowsill.
"How's it going? Have you fallen behind on any of your classes?"
"It's no problem for me at all. You know I went to university a long time ago. To be frank, the knowledge there is not difficult for me at all."
"That's good. I haven't told you about what happened at the store today! They've been operating non-stop these past few days, and I think they're making about 20 yuan a day."
So, I'm thinking of raising their wages by 20 yuan each.
“It’s a bit too little. I think a 30% increase would be more appropriate. We can also give them some bonuses at the end of the year. You know my relationship with Gao Jing. Her family is in such a bad situation that it makes me feel bad.”
"Okay, I'll do as you say. Give them 30 yuan." Su Chenhao had been busy all day. He took off his clothes and crawled into bed. He naturally pulled the other person into his arms.
"You have no idea how much I've wanted to hold you and sleep with you these past few days. I've been suffering from insomnia every night."
"Haha! It's because we're not officially recognized right now. The fact that they let me live with you is already a great favor to them."
"Yes, I know that. They've already done a lot for me. They trust that I can take good care of you, otherwise they wouldn't have done this."
"Mmm." Qiao Xiaoni leaned her head against his chest. "It's so good to have you."
Su Chenhao held her tightly: "That's exactly what I wanted to say. Because of you, my life is complete. Because of you, I am happy. It's as if the hardships before never happened. You are the ray of sunshine that illuminates my heart."
"I've noticed you're getting more and more eloquent," Qiao Xiaoni said, touching his handsome face. "Your face is getting more and more beautiful too."
"Really?" Su Chenhao had noticed some changes in his face when he looked in the mirror these past few days. His eyes, in particular, had changed the most; given his age, they shouldn't have changed much. This change felt slightly strange to him.
Qiao Xiaoni also noticed it, which means that he didn't realize it himself.
“I noticed a change when I looked in the mirror after washing my face recently, but I thought I was seeing things.”
"It's fine, don't overthink it. Actually, my face has changed too. Didn't you notice how different it is from when we first met?" Qiao Xiaoni pinched her chin: "My current appearance is about 50% similar to my previous appearance."
Su Chenhao: "It's different from before; it's become more refined."
