That afternoon, Song Yangmin, who had been staying at the military base for several days, finally got a break.
He had just come out of the army and went home to quickly change his clothes.
Song Yingying was home from school. "Second brother, are you going out?"
Song Yangmin: "Yingying, your second brother has something to do tonight, so he won't be coming home for dinner."
Song Rongrong opened her mouth wide, "Second brother, are you in a relationship?"
Song Yangmin's face has gotten tanned again these past few days, so you can't tell that his face was red anymore.
"No, Yingying, you can't just say things like that."
Song Yingying: "Second brother, don't try to lie to me, it must be true!"
Song Yangmin: "...You little brat, anyway, no, don't talk nonsense, I'm leaving."
After leaving Heping Lane, Song Yangmin went straight to the shop where Qian Yu'an worked, and just in time to wait for Qian Yu'an to get off work.
When Song Yangmin appeared, his colleagues laughed and joked, "Hey, Yu'an, who's here?"
Qian Yu'an hurriedly grabbed her bag, saying, "Nobody! We're just friends, don't overthink it!"
Qian Yu'an quickly left the shop and went to Song Yangmin.
What brings you here today?
Song Yangmin's gaze swept over her flushed face, and he coughed lightly, "I have the day off today, and I'm off tomorrow too. Are you off tomorrow?"
Tomorrow is Monday.
Song Yangmin remembered that Qian Yu'an had said that she often rested on Mondays.
Qian Yu'an nodded slightly.
"Let's go eat first, and then we'll go see a movie tomorrow. I'll come find you in the morning."
Qian Yu'an bit her lip. "Watching movies again? We've already seen them before."
These past few days, Song Yangmin has been asking his comrades for advice on how to woo girls.
He added, "Then let's go to the park. There's a newly built park by the river, and I've heard it's quite nice."
Qian Yu'an looked up at Song Yangmin and met his intensely burning gaze, feeling as if her whole body was on fire.
"Um."
Song Yangmin's clenched fist quietly loosened.
"Let's go eat first."
Aside from paying his living expenses, Song Yangmin's mother never forced him to pay any money; he could freely spend his own money.
Instead of noodles this time, Song Yangmin brought Qian Yu'an to a restaurant.
"Let's go inside."
Qian Yu'an hesitated, "Forget it, eating out is too expensive."
Qian Yu'an used to think that eating noodles outside was expensive, so she could make them at home.
Song Yangmin was stunned. What should he do?
Would you like something else to eat?
Qian Yu'an felt bad about the money, and then she remembered that Song Yangmin hadn't eaten yet.
"Why don't you come to my place? I'll cook and we can eat together." After saying that, Qian Yu'an's face turned bright red. What girl would take the initiative to invite a man to her home for dinner?
"Never mind, just pretend I didn't say anything."
Song Yangmin snapped out of his daze, his ears turning red. "Well... that's fine too, let's go buy groceries."
This time it was Qian Yu'an's turn to be confused. "Huh?"
Song Yangmin had already walked ahead. Seeing that Qian Yu'an was not moving, he said again, "If you find it troublesome, let's go home and eat."
That won't do, since it was Qian Yu'an who brought it up first.
"Then let's eat at my place. What would you like to eat?"
Song Yangmin smiled and said, "Anything is fine, as long as I have some food."
Qian Yu'an snorted, "Glib-tongued."
After Qian Yu'an selected the vegetables at the market, Song Yangmin paid for them.
Qian Yu'an said no need.
Song Yangmin: "I'm here to eat at your house, so of course I have to buy the groceries. Otherwise, it would be like I'm freeloading."
Qian Yu'an glanced at the things in Song Yangmin's hands, then looked at Song Yangmin's strong arms. This tall man exuded a strong sense of pressure.
Qian Yu'an then let him be.
After going upstairs, Song Yangmin remembered something else: he had forgotten to ask his mother about it last time.
Where did this house come from? The location is pretty good, so it must have been expensive.
After opening the door and going inside, the furniture was even better than the furniture in their home in Heping Lane. It was bright and clean, and Qian Yu'an had arranged everything in an orderly manner.
"Please have a seat, I'll go cook."
After finishing his meal quickly, Song Yangmin was allowed to leave.
Song Yangmin: "I'll help you. We take turns cooking at home."
Qian Yu'an was surprised, "You can cook too?"
Song Yangmin: "I used to be in charge of purchasing for the army canteen. I can do most of the things that cooks can do. But I was recently transferred to another post. By the way, I'm going on a mission the day after tomorrow and I probably won't be back for another two weeks."
This sounds like an old married couple discussing their schedule.
Qian Yu'an glanced at her furtively and said, "Why are you telling me this? I'm not curious."
Song Yangmin paused in his garlic-peeling motion, then feigned a sigh, "Alright then, I'll try to make sure you're curious one day."
Qian Yu'an's face turned bright red, and this time she remained silent.
For dinner, I made stir-fried shredded potatoes, pumpkin soup, and steamed beef with rice flour. Three dishes were more than enough for the two of us.
It was fine when I cooked before, but the knives would make noise when they clashed in the kitchen.
There are only two people at the table now.
Qian Yu'an buried her face in her hands and ate in small bites.
Song Yangmin, trying to make conversation, asked, "If we go to the park tomorrow, are we still coming back to cook dinner?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Qian Yu'an's eyes widened instantly.
"You still cook?"
Seeing her expression, Song Yangmin couldn't help but chuckle.
"I'll do it tomorrow, you can rest."
Qian Yu'an gripped his chopsticks tightly, hesitated for a long time, and finally managed to say, "Let's talk about it tomorrow."
After dinner, Song Yangmin was in charge of washing the dishes. Qian Yu'an stood outside the kitchen watching him, feeling a bit strange. It had only been a few days, and Song Yangmin was already coming home with her for meals.
Song Yangmin worked quickly, and after washing the dishes, he prepared to leave.
Qian Yu'an saw him to the door and said, "You can go now."
