Lin Qing returned to the kitchen, placed the eggs in the kitchen basket, then lined the basket with a layer of paper, added some steamed buns, covered the buns with another layer of paper, and finally covered them with the cloth that Liu Cuilan had used to cover the eggs.
"Here's some steamed buns for Cuilan. I put some in the basket. They were just made. Take them home and let the child try them."
"No, I came to deliver eggs to you, how can I take your things again?"
“Cuilan, listen to me. There’s no need for us to be so polite between my Nanxun and your Zhao Youcai. I know you’re grateful, but given their relationship, it would be too formal for us to be so formal.”
Lin Qing stopped Liu Cuilan from saying what she was about to say and smiled at her.
Liu Cuilan paused for a moment, then swallowed back the refusal that was about to come out. "I misunderstood. Fine, I won't stand on ceremony with Qingqing."
"Okay, you can come visit me sometime when you have time!"
"Okay, then I'll come visit you whenever I have time, Qingqingqing. If you need anything, just let me know."
"good!"
The two chatted for a while longer before Liu Cuilan left. Lin Qing watched Liu Cuilan walk away and smiled.
Watching Liu Cuilan walk away, Lin Qing suddenly had a craving for chive and egg pancakes, so she decided to have them for dinner.
Lin Qing took out some chives from her spatial storage and replaced the eggs Liu Cuilan had given her with eggs from her spatial storage. Since becoming pregnant, Lin Qing had been eating ingredients from her spatial storage every day. According to the system, eating more ingredients with spiritual energy was good for the baby.
"Qingqing, what are you doing? Do you need my help?"
"No need, you rest! I want to make it myself." Lin Qing used to love eating chive and egg pancakes the most. Back when her family was poor, eating chive and egg pancakes once would make Lin Qing happy for a long time. She suddenly realized that she hadn't eaten them in a long time.
Lin Qing skillfully kneaded the dough, chopped the vegetables, beat the eggs, and then mixed all the ingredients together.
As night fell, Lin Qing carried a steaming plate of chive and egg pancakes out of the kitchen.
"Brother Nanxun, try this! It's one of my specialties."
Gu Nanxun couldn't wait to take a bite, and the rich aroma filled his mouth. As he ate, he praised, "It's so delicious! Qingqing's cooking skills are getting better and better."
Lin Qing smiled sweetly, looking at Gu Nanxun with a satisfied expression: "Isn't it delicious! Brother Nanxun, you really like it. When we were little, you lied to me and said you didn't like it. I thought to myself, how could anyone not like such a delicious egg pancake? It's my favorite food!"
“In the past, whenever I got paid, I would reward myself with a chive and egg pancake. Back then, I would buy a small bunch of chives, crack two eggs, and make two chive and egg pancakes. I felt especially happy.”
Upon hearing Lin Qing's words, Gu Nanxun felt a sharp pain in his head. Suddenly, a scene flashed into his mind: a little boy and a little girl sharing a chive and egg pancake. The little boy stuffed most of the pancake into the little girl's hand, and although he was swallowing his saliva incessantly, he pretended to be calm and told the little girl that he didn't like chive and egg pancakes. The little girl believed him and carefully ate the palm-sized piece of chive and egg pancake, bite by bite.
"Nanxun, what's wrong?"
Gu Nanxun clutched his head, his face contorted in pain. Seeing this, Lin Qing rushed forward and asked with concern, "Brother Nanxun, are you alright?"
Gu Nanxun shook his head and said in a low voice, "I'm fine. I just heard you mention chive and egg pancakes, and it suddenly reminded me of something..."
His eyes became unfocused, as if he were lost in memories. "I just had a picture in my mind, a picture of me eating chive and egg pancakes with a little girl... but I just can't remember the specific details..."
Lin Qing's heart stirred. She took Gu Nanxun's hand and comforted him, "Brother Nanxun, don't worry. We'll take it slowly. You'll definitely be able to recover your memories sooner or later."
Gu Nanxun nodded, forcing a smile. "I understand, Qingqing. But the chive and egg pancakes you made were really delicious; they're the best chive and egg pancakes I've ever had."
Gu Nanxun recalled the stumbling and struggling he experienced abroad, and the scene of him making chive and egg pancakes. At the time, he couldn't understand why he wanted to make chive and egg pancakes. Now, thinking about it, it might be an obsession with not being able to eat them when he was a child.
After dinner, the two sat in the courtyard, sharing their experiences of making chive and egg pancakes. Although Gu Nanxun's memory had not fully recovered, they found happiness in a simple chive and egg pancake.
"Brother Nanxun, do you think this little guy likes chive and egg pancakes?"
Lin Qing placed her hand on her belly and gently stroked it, asking Gu Nanxun with a curious expression. She really felt very strange. These days she would feel dizzy from time to time. She was pregnant and would become a mother in less than a year.
Nanxun placed his hand on her belly and said softly, "The little one will definitely like it too."
Lin Qing smiled and nodded, her eyes filled with anticipation.
A gentle night breeze caressed their faces, bringing a touch of coolness. They savored this peaceful moment, their hearts filled with anticipation for the future.
"Nanxun, it looks like we can't go home this year," Lin Qing said gently, leaning on Gu Nanxun's shoulder. She had originally planned to take Gu Nanxun home to meet her parents during the Spring Festival, but she hadn't expected to get pregnant, so they definitely wouldn't be able to go home for the holiday.
"It's okay, after the baby is born, the three of us will go back together next year," Gu Nanxun said gently, putting his arm around Lin Qing's shoulder.
"Okay, let's go back together next year!" Lin Qing's face was filled with a happy smile, as if she could already see a beautiful future.
The two were lost in their fantasies about the future when suddenly a shooting star streaked across the sky.
"Shooting star, make a wish!" Lin Qing excitedly grabbed Gu Nanxun's hand.
Gu Nanxun closed his eyes and silently made a wish. He hoped that Lin Qing would be happy and healthy, that the baby would be born smoothly, and that their family would be happy forever.
Lin Qing also closed her eyes, clasped her hands together, and solemnly made the same wish.
After making their wishes, the two looked at each other and then laughed at the same time.
