After they finished speaking, they glanced at each other.
Xia Lan smiled, a happy smile.
"hey-hey."
Looking at her sweet, healing smile, Qin Yu felt completely at ease.
He wanted to fulfill any wish she made, as long as she asked.
Knock knock knock.
Someone knocked on the door. Xia Lan and Du Wenqing looked towards the door and saw Xiao Yuqin standing there, carrying the food she had prepared for Qin Yu and Xia Lan.
"Hello, Mr. Du, I'm Xiao Yuqin. Are you here to see Qin Yu too?"
When Xiao Yuqin saw Du Wenqing, she smiled and went up to greet him.
"You've arrived."
Qin Yu nodded to Xiao Yuqin, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes.
"Qin Yu, how are you feeling today? I made you some pork bone soup. I heard that drinking this is the most effective way to treat a leg injury! Lanlan, I made your favorite cured pork rice. Try it."
Xiao Yuqin was overjoyed to hear Qin Yu greet her, and quickly carried the prepared food to Xia Lan and Qin Yu.
Du Wenqing's eyes lit up when he saw the sumptuous meal that Xiao Yuqin had brought.
"Has Mr. Du eaten yet? Let's eat together? I've prepared quite a few dishes..."
Xiao Yuqin smiled at Du Wenqing.
"Then I shall respectfully accept your offer!"
Before Xiao Yuqin could speak, Du Wenqing spoke first.
I couldn't wait to pick up a bite and taste it.
The next second, she stared at Qin Yu in astonishment.
"Isn't it amazing! Aunt Xiao's cooking is just like Brother Yu's! Just as delicious!"
Xia Lan was also startled on the first day, and now that she saw that Du Wenqing was also frightened, she couldn't help but boast.
"Indeed, could this be what they call the bond between mother and child?"
Du Wenqing looked at Qin Yu, who was eating Xiao Yuqin's food while serving food to Xia Lan.
Feeling Du Wenqing's gaze, Qin Yu awkwardly turned his head away.
Xiao Yuqin couldn't help but smile when she heard Du Wenqing's words; she was truly delighted.
She could feel the same feeling she couldn't feel with Qin Yao, but she could feel it with Qin Yu.
She used to doubt herself, but now she has no doubts at all.
Her feelings back then were all correct; God had already given her a heads-up.
The bond between mother and child was a wondrous feeling that she couldn't explain or describe, yet it simply existed.
Mysterious yet resolute.
Xia Lan looked at Qin Yu, a slight smile playing on her lips.
Qin Yu was not indifferent to Xiao Yuqin either.
These past few days, Xiao Yuqin has been cooking different dishes for them every day. At first, Qin Yu was a little at a loss, but now he has gotten used to it.
Sometimes Xia Lan noticed that Qin Yu would unconsciously look towards the ward door, as if he was expecting a certain figure to arrive.
When Xiao Yuqin appeared at the door, Qin Yu would pretend not to care and turn his head to look out the window.
Xia Lan just smiled at his awkwardness and didn't call him out on it.
That expectant yet worried look in her eyes, which she dared not show, was just so adorable.
After Xia Lan and the others finished eating, Xiao Yuqin put away the chopsticks and prepared to go home.
"cough."
Seeing that she was about to leave, Qin Yu coughed anxiously.
Xiao Yuqin turned around worriedly, and Qin Yu immediately lowered his head.
"Qin Yu, I'll come see you again tomorrow. You should get some rest."
"Mr. Du, I'll be going now, I won't disturb you any longer!"
"Lanlan, see you tomorrow."
Xiao Yuqin thought it was just her imagination, so she said goodbye to the three of them and prepared to leave.
Seeing that she was about to leave, Qin Yu opened his mouth, but then didn't know what to say.
Seeing him like this, Xia Lan called out to Xiao Yuqin.
"Aunt Xiao, wait a minute, I'll take you there!"
Xia Lan glanced back at Qin Yu, who looked at her with slightly reddened ears.
"No need..."
Xiao Yuqin was about to refuse when Xia Lan, who was pregnant, said...
"Let Lanlan take you downstairs."
Qin Yu interrupted Xiao Yuqin, who was taken aback. Xia Lan then took her arm and led her out of the ward.
"He...he..."
Xiao Yuqin was overwhelmed with joy, but she wasn't sure if she was overthinking it, or if it was just a simple greeting.
"Brother Yu was worried about you! He was afraid you'd go down alone, so he asked me to see you off!"
Xia Lan smiled at Xiao Yuqin.
During this time, both she and Qin Yu could feel her dedication. Every time she carefully prepared a meal, she would simply put it down and leave, waiting outside the ward for them to finish eating before putting it away.
If Xia Lan hadn't gone out to wash the dishes, no one would have known that she had been standing at the door the whole time!
When she came to deliver the meal again, Xia Lan invited her into the room so that she could see him.
She was afraid that her gaze would make Qin Yu uncomfortable, and she restrained herself from causing him any trouble.
Seeing that Qin Yu had finished all the food she had prepared, she would always show a relieved smile.
This kind of cautious probing is especially heartbreaking.
Xia Lan was also touched by her careful probing and gradual approach, not to mention Qin Yu, who already cared about her a lot.
Xia Lan noticed the changes in Qin Yu and wanted to change him, but she didn't know how.
"Really?"
Xiao Yuqin said happily.
Xia Lan nodded.
“Do you remember that time you were late? Before you arrived, Brother Yu secretly glanced at the door because he was worried about you.”
"Really? I... I was just a little delayed on the way that day..."
Xiao Yuqin listened to Xia Lan's words and exclaimed with delight.
"Brother Yu is gradually accepting you all!"
Xia Lan smiled.
