Zhang Qinghua never refused Song Lili's idea of cooking. It was her way of showing her care for him, so how could he possibly refuse?
"It's not hard work, it's just making some food so you can eat better on the train."
Traveling by car is tiring enough, but if you don't eat well, it can easily make you feel exhausted.
Song Lili didn't want Zhang Qinghua to get sick after going home, so she made sure he ate well.
Zhang Aiai and the others were just incidental. Without Zhang Qinghua, she wouldn't have been able to cook for them.
"Alright, I'll help you tomorrow morning." Zhang Qinghua wouldn't let Song Lili do all the work by herself.
Song Lili nodded, "Okay, it might be faster if you help me."
Song Lili didn't refuse, just like Zhang Qinghua had given before. There was absolutely no reason for her to refuse, right?
Besides, Zhang Qinghua is just being considerate of her, so she wouldn't refuse. Being together not only allows them to connect emotionally but also gives them more time to spend together.
Spending time together at this time allows two people to grow closer and makes them feel sweeter.
"Okay, let's go to sleep. We'll be busy tomorrow morning."
"You must take good care of yourself," Song Lili murmured as she lay down.
"Okay, I'll take care of it." Zhang Qinghua hugged Song Lili tightly and kissed her forehead as a promise.
The next day, Song Lili got up early, wanting to cook more so that Zhang Qinghua could eat better.
She had just finished getting ready when Zhang Qinghua got up too. "Why are you up so early? There's still time!"
Lili bought her train ticket for around 10 a.m., when it was still barely light. Why was she up already?
"I'll cook extra for you, so you can eat well. Don't be stingy; eating well will also help relieve your fatigue."
It's a journey that takes several days, so it's always good to do some extra preparation.
“Okay, then I’ll help you.” Zhang Qinghua didn’t refuse. It would be good to make more food, since the four of them would need quite a bit to eat on their way back.
"Okay, I'll go prepare first, you take your time." Song Lili said with a smile, feeling sweet inside, and had no resistance to making food for them.
“I’ll use a few more dishes, so don’t be stingy with your food. If it’s not enough, let Fang Yaoqing eat less.”
Anyway, once they go back, this person will have nothing to do with them anymore, so there's no need to worry about his feelings.
Song Lili's words left Zhang Qinghua speechless, as he really couldn't bring himself to do such a thing.
If a woman makes it, it might look cute, but if a man does it, it would just look stingy.
Therefore, Zhang Qinghua listened to Song Lili's words but never actually intended to do them.
Song Lili knew that Zhang Qinghua wouldn't actually do that, but she was just saying it casually.
Although she really had this idea, she knew that Zhang Qinghua couldn't do it and would only suffer the loss in the end. So she might as well prepare more. Even if it benefited Fang Yaoqing, it would at least ensure that Zhang Qinghua ate well.
So the two of them chatted and laughed, and got to work quickly. By the time everyone got up, they had almost finished.
"You two can do it today. I'll take a break and enjoy your cooking." Yang Mei said with a smile as she pushed the food away.
This is their time as a couple, and she couldn't be so tactless as to disturb them. She should let them have a good talk. She'd be gone for several days, and Lili must have something to tell them.
She is still very clever.
After that, no one went to the kitchen to disturb them, and even if someone came in, they would leave quickly.
Song Lili smiled. She knew everyone's good intentions and accepted them with a smile. This was everyone's good intention.
The kitchen became their own private world, a world isolated from each other, undisturbed by anyone.
While eating breakfast, Zhang Shengtian was still reminding the group to be careful in the car, to keep their belongings safe, and not to get separated, etc.
Zhang Shengtian kept reminding him for as long as he ate breakfast.
Zhang Qinghua knew that Zhang Shengtian was worried, so he didn't show any impatience or irritability. He listened attentively and nodded repeatedly.
Zhang Aiai listened too. She hadn't experienced such a long-winded nagging in a long time, and she really missed that feeling.
Only Fang Xiaotao and Fang Yaoqing were somewhat impatient.
Fang Xiaotao is too young to sit still, and children generally don't like adults nagging, so she naturally can't listen or sit still.
Fang Yaoqing was genuinely impatient, feeling that Zhang Shengtian was being too long-winded. He had already taken the train once; what didn't he know? Was it really necessary to nag so much?
Therefore, he didn't listen at all; it went in one ear and out the other. If he wasn't afraid of Zhang Qinghua's anger, he probably would have gotten up and left long ago.
Who wants to listen to an old man's rambling?
Zhang Shengtian naturally didn't care about Fang Yaoqing's thoughts. He only gave instructions to his two children without mentioning Fang Yaoqing at all.
When it was almost time, Zhang Shengtian stopped them and said, "Go get your luggage, pack your things, and we should be leaving soon."
The bus won't wait, so go early; it's better to wait a little longer than to miss it.
Zhang Qinghua and Zhang Aiai then got up and took out their luggage, which they had already packed.
Both of them were going to come back, so they didn't have much luggage. Fang Xiaotao's luggage was all kept together with Zhang Aiai's.
Fang Yaoqing had quite a lot of luggage, and it looked rather bulky, with a lot of things inside.
Song Lili glanced at it and thought that Fang Yaoqing hadn't brought this many things when he came.
However, Song Lili wasn't sure, as she hadn't seen Fang Yaoqing's luggage, so she only had a slight suspicion and didn't think much of it.
No one else noticed the problem with Fang Yaoqing's luggage; they were all saying goodbye to Zhang Aiai and telling her to be careful on the way.
Song Lili took them to the station. Zhang Qinghua initially said it wasn't necessary, but Song Lili insisted.
Firstly, she wanted to talk to Zhang Qinghua a little more; it was hard to part with the couple like this.
Secondly, they helped with the luggage. Although the two of them didn't have many clothes, they still had quite a bit left after taking the food.
Fang Xiaotao is just a child and can't help much, so Song Lili wasn't comfortable leaving the food with Fang Yaoqing.
So it's better if she delivers it herself; she's strong and won't get tired, and I can feel more at ease with her.
Seeing that Song Lili insisted, Zhang Qinghua did not object. After all, it was just a few dishes, nothing repetitive.
Lili is very strong, so this is no problem for her at all.
Let her go with us then; they can talk more!
It has to be said that this couple really thought of the same thing and both wanted to have a good talk with each other.
So, Song Lili went to the train station with them without any trouble, ostensibly to see them off.
Everyone else knew what it meant and left with smirks.
