Luo Qingyan stood in the kitchen wearing an apron.
She rarely cooks for herself, not because her cooking is bad, but because it's too much trouble.
The dishes served in restaurants are just ordinary home-style dishes that cost a few dozen yuan a plate, but it takes a long time to cook them yourself.
Starting with going downstairs to buy groceries, this tedious process is just the beginning.
Two hours later, the finished product was served on the table. After taking a bite, I found that it didn't taste like the restaurant's at all.
While technology changes lives, it also adds different kinds of deliciousness to various dishes.
But today was different; she did everything herself, starting with grocery shopping.
Even when Aunt Luo wanted to help, she refused outright.
The reason is simple: Qin Bai is coming over for dinner tonight.
As a college student, the first day of vacation should definitely be a happy one.
So Luo Qingyan decided to cook a meal herself to treat Qin Bai's taste buds.
Of course, it was also to win his heart through his stomach.
Take out a delicate spoon and stir it in the pot a few times.
After tasting it, he nodded in satisfaction.
Aunt Luo smiled and asked, "Miss, what time will Mr. Qin arrive?"
She tilted her head and looked at the clock on the wall: "It'll be soon, right? Stop calling him Mr. Qin all the time, it's making him sound distant. From now on, just call him Xiaobai like I do."
Aunt Luo paused for a moment, then nodded happily.
After spending some time together, their relationship returned to how they used to interact.
Time heals all grievances and estrangements.
In fact, Luo Qingyan had long since stopped blaming her; Aunt Luo hadn't really taken much responsibility for what happened back then.
Even if she didn't tell the dead, they would still find out.
From childhood to adulthood, Aunt Luo spent far more time with her than her parents.
Therefore, Luo Qingyan regarded her more as family.
"Aunt Luo, what excuse should I use to visit Xiaobai's house during the Chinese New Year?"
"Well... there's no need to make up a reason, I reckon Xiaobai's mother already knows about you."
"But what if I don't know?"
Aunt Luo smiled and shook her head: "No, don't worry. Xiao Bai's character is trustworthy. He will definitely tell his mother about the person he likes."
"Really?" Luo Qingyan asked uncertainly, a smile playing on her lips, even though the answer to the question was already clear.
"Definitely."
Ding dong ding dong~~~
The doorbell rang.
Luo Qingyan quickly turned off the stove and placed the spoon in Aunt Luo's hand.
"Aunt Luo, please serve me the soup. It must be Xiaobai. I'll go get him."
"Hehe, go ahead, but run slowly."
Aunt Luo smiled happily. She didn't understand the love and affection of young people, but she was happy as long as her mistress was happy.
"Little Bai, guess what I did today...?"
Upon seeing the two people at the door, Luo Qingyan swallowed the words she was about to say.
"Why are you here?"
The shift from gentleness to indifference didn't take Luo Qingyan long.
"Is that how you talk to your elders? You're becoming more and more insensible."
The rigid and cold voice sounded extremely jarring.
The man and woman looked at Luo Qingyan in front of them without much emotion on their faces, and walked past her directly into the villa.
"Miss, I've served it, Xiaobai..."
Aunt Luo trembled slightly when she saw who came in.
Snap!
The soup bowl fell to the ground.
His face was deathly pale.
"Master, Madam, what brings you here?"
Luo Xiao snorted coldly, his gaze falling on the mess on the ground, his eyes icy.
Yin Shuyi looked at Aunt Luo: "What, can't we come?"
"No, no, sir and madam, please have a seat. I'll tidy up the place."
Aunt Luo walked quickly toward the bathroom, her gaze falling on Luo Qingyan standing at the door.
Luo Qingyan nodded slightly and gave a relieved smile before letting go of her hands that had been gripping her clothes.
Thank goodness.
Her biggest fear was that Luo Qingyan would misunderstand and think that he was the one who called the two of them.
It seems that the fears did not come true.
Luo Qingyan wasn't stupid; she had been staring at Aunt Luo ever since her father came in.
After seeing her series of reactions, the answer became clear.
This time, no one betrayed her.
"Luo Qingyan, come and sit down."
Luo Xiao looked at his daughter with a calm and unwavering gaze, giving the impression of an old professor looking at a naughty student.
Luo Qingyan walked slowly to the two of them and chose the furthest chair to sit down.
These are habits formed from childhood; family members should keep their distance so that they have a chance to extricate themselves unscathed.
The two of them are neither like father nor mother.
What's even more absurd is that the couple doesn't act like a couple at all.
This made Luo Qingyan feel somewhat better.
Being ruthless isn't directed at any one person, but at everyone present, which is fair.
In their philosophy, only scientific research matters; even family interests can be set aside.
You might call them crazy, but the knowledge in their heads could fill a library.
You say they're normal people? Then the person who said that is just plain crazy.
Have you ever seen a normal couple who go six months without contacting each other and still don't suspect each other of cheating?
The funny thing is that they actually remembered each other's names.
Strangers should act like strangers; why bother creating a child out of love?
Sometimes Luo Qingyan even wondered if she was just a free gift with a phone top-up.
Otherwise, why would they not see their place in their hearts at all?
When I was young, I don't know what got into Ms. Yin, but she said she wanted to take me to the amusement park for a day.
Luo Qingyan laughed all night and barely slept, excitedly thinking about spending the next day playing with her mother.
The next morning, Ms. Yin kept her word and really took her to the amusement park.
Once inside, head straight for the giant pendulum ride.
Upon arriving at the location, Xiao Luo Qingyan was still wondering why there was no one queuing up today.
Ms. Yin pressed her into the seat and strapped her with several more seat belts, which were attached to several strange-looking instruments.
Then he waved to the people around him.
He completely ignored Luo Qingyan's terrified expression.
Logically, staff should have intervened to stop it; how could they allow a child to ride such a dangerous ride?
It's unclear how Ms. Yin managed to persuade the staff.
Once the giant swing started spinning, she felt like she wanted to die.
The dizzying sensation made her feel nauseous whenever she saw an amusement park.
When she came down from up there, she fell straight to the ground.
Ms. Yin hurriedly went over and removed the equipment from Luo Qingyan's body. Without even glancing at her, she had her assistant take Luo Qingyan directly home.
Much later, Luo Qingyan learned that the mother had only wanted to obtain some experimental data that day.
As for why she was chosen as the experimental subject, she had no interest in knowing anymore.
Does that even matter?
It doesn't matter anymore.
