"I'm back," Cai Yuncui announced from the kitchen, tying her hair into a simple ponytail as usual, with her bangs naturally framing her cheeks.
She offered a sidelong smile to the newcomer, her dimples blossoming like flowers.
It had been a little over ten days since they'd seen each other, which already felt like too long. Shen Mochen's heart skipped a beat and he greeted her with a smile, "Cai Sister, do you need any help?"
Cai Yuncui waved a dismissive hand and took off her apron, "No need, no need, dinner is already made!"
Xia Qingrou threw her arms wide and lunged into Cai Yuncui's embrace. "It's been so long since I've had your cooking, I've missed you so much!"
"Is it me you missed, or the food I make?" Cai Yuncui asked, her face brimming with a warm smile as she affectionately stroked Xia Qingrou's head.
