Qiqi went straight to the kitchen.
The housekeeper followed behind, muttering, "Miss Qi, just tell me what you want to eat. You don't have to go to the kitchen yourself. If the young master knew about this, he would definitely scold us."
"Don't be nervous. It'll be fine if he knows. I used to cook for myself."
"But, the past is the past, and the present is the present. The young master is so worried about you..."
Qiqi pursed her lips and smiled, paused, and looked at the housekeeper, "If I say nothing will happen, then nothing will happen."
The housekeeper was still worried.
"He allowed me to enter the kitchen, so you can rest assured."
The housekeeper was still skeptical. However, this did not stop Qiqi from entering the kitchen. After she entered, she opened the refrigerator, took out two eggs, fried some rice, and took out some ketchup. All her movements were smooth and familiar.
The housekeeper and the people in the kitchen had been watching nervously, fearing that the future young lady would get bumped or burned, and the young master would turn around and get angry with them. But seeing how skilled she was, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
After Qiqi finished all these, she made other breakfasts.
When I was busy with the work, I called Qi Yu.
"Hey." Qi Yu's tone was still listless, and she couldn't muster any energy at all.
Qiqi sighed inwardly, unsure if her low mood was related to Tang Jue. She didn't dare to ask, so she just asked, "How is uncle doing?"
“… I’m still asleep now. I slept well last night.”
"Is Auntie still there?"
"I asked my mother to go back first. I was the one who kept watch here last night."
"Then I'll come over and bring you breakfast later."
"Okay." Qi Yu spoke less than ever before.
"Then... I'll hang up first." Qiqi didn't like to talk to begin with, and now that Qiyu was silent, she didn't know what to say. After hanging up the phone, she stared at the darkened screen in a daze, feeling inexplicably guilty.
In the future, I have to explain everything clearly to Qi Yu, but how can I talk to her about this kind of thing
———
When Tang Jue woke up, he subconsciously looked for Qiqi.
As a result, when I walked into the restaurant, I saw her busy.
"Awake?" Qiqi looked up and greeted him first. She smiled brightly and looked peaceful and calm. Tang Jue looked at her hands and saw that she was holding two bowls of omelette rice.
The fried eggs were golden brown and looked very nice. The ketchup on top made them even more delicious.
Tang Jue shifted his gaze from the food to her little face.
A bright light flashed across his eyes.
"You... made this yourself?"
Qiqi nodded, smiling, "Didn't you say you wanted to eat?"
Tang Jue didn't say anything else, but just sat down at the table. Qiqi brought the omelette rice to him and said, "Try it. I haven't made it for a long time."
Tang Jue took the chopsticks brought by the servant, and looking at the delicious golden food, he felt a warm current in his heart. He gently picked up a piece of egg pancake, looked at her confident look, and tasted it, "Just from the appearance, it has improved a lot compared to eight years ago. Eight years ago, the egg pancake was still fuzzy."
"Then try it. The taste must have improved a lot." Qiqi sat down opposite him.
"Really?" Tang Jue tasted it expectantly and was very satisfied. He asked casually, "When was the last time you did this?"
"Last time..." Qiqi thought about it seriously while holding the chopsticks, and then, she said nothing.
Tang Jue was eating with gusto, not noticing the strange look on her face, and only asked once more: "When?"
"Last time..." Qiqi answered honestly and carefully: "I made it for Mo Xun a month ago..."
"…" All the warmth in Tang Jue's heart disappeared instantly when he heard the word 'Mo Xun'. Then, he chewed the rice with much more force, and if you listened carefully, you could hear the terrifying sound of grinding teeth.
Looking at him like this, Qiqi couldn't help but laugh, it was so funny.
Tang Jue was clearly furious in her heart, but she had a charming smile on her face and spoke in an incredibly gentle tone, "Baby, you did a perfect job as the wife in the agreement."
Qiqi also responded gently, "After all, it cost 1 million yuan, so of course the service must be up to standard."
"I'll give you 10 million, and from now on, these services will become mine exclusively. How about this deal?"
Qiqi smiled and said, "Deal."
———
When Qiqi rushed to the hospital with breakfast, Qiyong was still asleep.
Qi Yu curled up on the sofa, looking completely exhausted.
"Sister." Qiqi called out. Qi Yu raised her eyes slightly and looked at her before slowly standing up.
Qiqi could see the thick dark circles under her eyes at a glance.
She took out the breakfast and placed it on the coffee table. "You stayed up all night watching over your uncle? You have dark circles under your eyes."
"Well... I can't sleep at all." Qi Yu responded weakly.
"Have some breakfast and go back to have a good sleep."
Qi Yu stared blankly at the breakfast Qi Qi had placed in front of her. Although it was fragrant and looked delicious, Qi Yu really had no appetite at all. In the end, she just shook her head awkwardly, "I don't want to eat it anymore. You can leave it there. I'll eat with my dad when he wakes up later."
"Don't you like the shredded pork fried rice I make the most? Try it. Maybe you'll get an appetite after one bite."
"Qiqi, I really have no appetite." Qi Yu refused.
Qiqi sighed and said nothing more. She could only cover the fried rice again and glanced at Qiyu. Seeing her like this, she felt quite uncomfortable and wanted to leave.
"Sister, I... am going back to work."
Qiqi said, and was leaving. She was not good at comforting people, and besides, she found it difficult to face Qiyu like this.
"Qiqi, don't leave yet... Can you talk to me?" Qiyu grabbed her hand.
Qiqi was stunned.
When I lowered my eyes, I saw a thin layer of mist in Qi Yu's eyes.
Qiqi felt more and more disappointed. She suddenly felt that Qiyu's feelings for Tang Jue were much deeper than she thought. It was admiration, infatuation, and perhaps stubbornness.
"sister… "
"I thought about him the whole night last night..."
Qiqi sat down slowly, unable to utter a word.
Qi Yu didn't seem to need her comfort, she just wanted to talk. She smiled bitterly, "Last night, I actually waited at the hospital entrance for the whole night. I just stood there waiting. I was hoping that he might show up again, and I was on guard last night, maybe he would bring me porridge..."
Qiqi was shocked again.
No wonder she had such heavy dark circles under her eyes. It wasn't because she didn't sleep well, but because she stood for the entire night and didn't sleep at all!
