Lou Xi made tomato egg noodles at home.
She had cooked them in the afternoon, but since Qin Mobai hadn't returned, she reheated them once they got cold and continued to wait.
Lou Xi kept repeating this process, and finally, just as the noodles were turning mushy in the bowl, the apartment door was opened from the outside.
When Qin Mobai came in from outside, his face was as calmly confident as ever, and he even gave Lou Xi a warm smile upon seeing her.
Actually, as long as Lou Xi saw such a smile from Qin Mobai, she felt that all her waiting was worthwhile. She put down the bowl in her hands and ran towards Qin Mobai without saying a word, just gave him a big hug.
The strength with which she hugged Qin Mobai matched the anxiety she had felt while waiting for him.
A sense of regained happiness enveloped Lou Xi.
After Bai Lu left, Lou Xi began to overthink, wondering what she would do if, one day, Qin Mobai suddenly left her.
