When the female beggar who had made the noodles came out, she saw Li Li sitting on the sofa with a heavy heart, motionless.
She put the noodles on the table, walked to Li Li, and waved her hands in front of Li Li's eyes.
After a while, Li Li came back to her senses.
When Li Li turned her head to look at the female beggar, the female beggar noticed that Li Li's eyes were red.
She pointed at Li Li's eyes, as if asking her, 'Why are you crying?'
Li Li shook her head and stood up from the sofa as if nothing had happened. Only then did she notice the fragrance wafting from the living room.
She turned her head and asked, "Did you cook for me?"
The beggar woman nodded.
Li Li grabbed the beggar's hand and said, "I ate when I got off work. You don't have to wait for me so late, and you don't have to cook for me. I'm not hungry."
The beggar pointed at Li Li's stomach, as if to say, "I'm worried you'll be hungry."
Li Li didn't eat dinner at night. After learning about what happened to Xia Xingchen, she had no mood to eat.
The beggar woman had cooked the food for her now, and she didn't want to disappoint the beggar woman, so she walked to the dining table and sat down.
The female beggar also came over, and Li Li motioned her to sit down too.
Turning around, I saw a bowl of steaming noodles on the dining table with two beaten eggs on top.
Seeing this bowl of noodles reminded Li Li of the country life that Xia Xingchen had mentioned to her before.
She said that every time her grandmother cooked noodles for her, she would always add an extra egg to her bowl.
She pursed her lips, then stood up, went to the kitchen to get an empty bowl, divided the noodles in half, and put an egg in the bowl.
She handed the noodles to the beggar woman and said, "Come, let's eat together."
The female beggar waved her hand.
Li Li placed it in front of her compulsively and said, "If you don't eat with me, I won't eat either."
The female beggar compromised and the two sat together to eat noodles.
While eating this bowl of noodles, Li Li couldn't help but think of Xia Xingchen again. As she ate, she began to cry, and tears as big as beans fell into the hot bowl.
Seeing this, the female beggar turned her head and looked at her.
Li Li didn't look back, but she felt the gaze of the female beggar, and suddenly, her tears could not be stopped.
She couldn't even swallow the noodles in her mouth before she choked up and said, "You know what? My good friend from before really loves eating noodles. It's not just that she loves eating them, but she feels that noodles are as warm as her grandma."
"But now, I don't know if she can still eat hot noodles!"
The female beggar slowly tightened her grip on the chopsticks, and her long eyelashes fluttered, trying to hide her inner emotions.
As she spoke, Li Li's tears began to burst out.
The female beggar put down her chopsticks and patted her back to comfort her.
Li Li couldn't help but hug the female beggar and cried loudly.
While crying, she kept muttering: "Xingchen, I'm sorry..."
If she had discovered something was wrong with the fake Xia Xingchen earlier, instead of just complaining, would she have been able to find Xia Xingchen and rescue her sooner?!
The beggar woman felt warm in her heart.
Li Li cried for a long time before she felt a little better and let go of the female beggar. The female beggar handed her a tissue.
Li Li took it and wiped the tears and snot from her face.
She calmed down, and suddenly met the beggar's beautiful eyes, and asked sincerely: "Little mute, if you were her, would you forgive me?"
Before, Li Li had never paid attention to the female beggar's eyes, but now when she saw them, her heart suddenly trembled.
The female beggar was wearing a white mask, and her eyes, as bright as stars, seemed to be able to speak, blinking brightly.
These eyes... Li Li felt her scalp tingling in an instant.
The female beggar looked back at her intently and nodded at her firmly.
Li Li was stunned for a long time before she came to her senses and smiled. "I understand, little mute, thank you."

The news online was very popular, and Xia Tian had been following the incident closely, so much so that she had been hiding in Mingjie's house for the past few days and hadn't dared to go out.
She didn't know whether it was because she witnessed Choi Jung-sook jumping into the sea, or because she saw Mingjie's right arm being crippled, but she had been haunted by nightmares for the past few nights.
He couldn't sleep well and looked visibly haggard.
Gong Bingye is a notorious living devil. She, a woman, almost died in his hands, let alone Mingjie.
Mingjie should be in great danger at this moment.
Gong Bingye, she is really blind to provoke such a person. All his tenderness will only be reserved for Xia Xingchen.
To others, he is a terrifying existence.
Whether it was Cui Jingshu's fate, Mingjie's experience, or her painful experience, they all made her tremble with fear.
Because of this incident, no one dared to visit. Even Xueni, who was held in Mingjie's arms, was nowhere to be seen.
For several days, the door was quiet.
But suddenly one day, someone knocked on Mingjie's door.
Xia Tian was startled and shuddered all over.
Could it be that Gong Bingye changed his mind and wanted to take her back?
Xia Tian looked through the peephole and saw that it was a woman. She didn't see the woman's face, only the top of her head.
Through the door, she shouted, "Who are you?"
The woman outside the door responded: "I'm here to save you."
This voice is very familiar.
Xia Tian continued to ask: "Who are you? If you don't tell me, don't even think about coming in."
The woman said indifferently, "Okay! Anyway, you are the one who is in dire straits now, it has nothing to do with me. Since you are so ignorant, I will leave."
Before leaving, the woman deliberately reminded her, "Given your current situation, someone is willing to help you because they think highly of you. If you miss this opportunity, you may never get it again."
The woman deliberately stood at the door for two seconds before slowly turning around and pretending to leave.
Although Xia Tian didn't know who the woman outside the door was or what her purpose was in helping her, she had to admit that what she said was right.
Is there anything worse than the current situation?
The woman outside the door just raised her foot to leave when she heard the door behind her open. Then, a voice came out, "Come in."
She wanted to see what this woman was up to.
After the woman entered the door, Xia Tian peeked out and saw that there was nothing unusual, so he closed the door with confidence.
The woman had her back to Xia Tian, so Xia Tian walked straight up to her in order to see her face first.
However, when she saw the woman's appearance, she was surprised and asked, "Why is it you?"
Did she come here at this time to watch me have fun?
The woman raised her lips and smiled, "Why can't it be me? Miss Xia, you've done too many bad things. Are you afraid of revenge?"
Xia Tian took a deep breath and pretended to be calm. "I'm not afraid of anyone's revenge, but I'm not afraid of you. In my eyes, you're nothing."
