He walked into the side chamber with a trace of suspicion. The scene before his eyes was enough to scare him to death.
"Ah, you're awake?" Noticing his appearance, Lin Xiaoqing turned around and smiled at him. Her attitude was extremely natural, and she did not seem like the evil wife of the Cold War.
"I thought you wouldn't wake up for another half an hour!" She wiped her wet hands on her apron a few times and then said, "The soup will be ready in five minutes. Take a seat first."
With that, she neatly took some fresh milk out of the fridge and placed it on the table, along with a baked yellow bread. It looked quite tasty.
Song Beichuan was completely stunned on the spot.
This... What kind of new trick was this? He understood that in order to attract his attention and interfere with his emotions, Lin Xiaoqing would try many strange tactics. But what about the antidote in the middle of the night and the breakfast?
This was too exaggerated, and it was completely out of her style!
For a moment, he didn't know what to say or what response to give. He could only stiffly pull out his chair and sit down.
After a long while, he finally had a clue. This was probably some friend selling her some kind of soup like fast food? Yes, that must be it.
Once, he remembered, she had spent a lot of money and ordered a light meal from a friend of hers. Every day, someone would bring the day's freezer packages home for him to eat, as long as they were heated.
Perhaps it was due to the pressure of a favor, she ordered a whole month's worth of food, but only ate it for five days. She said that no matter how she ate, the lettuce, fruits, and other fruits were all too boring.
As a result, the twenty-odd days he had been born naturally all went into his stomach.
"Which friend is it this time that's doing well for?" Sighing, he took a sip of fresh milk.
"Hmm?" She was stirring a spoon in the pot when she heard his voice. She turned around and asked, "Did you say something?"
After calming down, he lowered his head and said, "No."
Anyway, it was none of his business what she wanted to do.
"Oh, maybe I heard wrong …" She smiled and looked back into the pot.
In fact, how could he not understand what he was thinking? No one knew better than she how much this man hated her. It was she who had taken away his happiness, who had forced him to marry, who had forced him to carry a family when the economy was at its most precarious, who had stolen his smile.
She didn't know if it was all a dream or if the heavens had really heard her confession. But she did not want to waste her time on unspoken resentment.
Thinking of this, she put out the fire and immediately brought him a bowl of soup. She then pulled out the chair opposite him and sat down.
Song Beichuan stared at the bowl of soup and had an indescribable feeling. She wouldn't add something weird to it just to make him have diarrhea, would she?
But it doesn't smell like it? What was even weirder was that apart from the cup of fresh food in front of him, he could not see any other food that could be classified as a fast-food junk like Dark Tang Bao.
"You made all this?" he finally asked.
Lin Xiaoqing knew that even if she had told him the truth, he probably wouldn't have believed her. She shrugged, raised her head and smiled. "Of course not. I ordered the takeout this morning."
This reaction caused Song Beichuan to be slightly stunned. Honestly speaking, he did not expect her to have any reaction, but no matter what, it shouldn't be this … At least, from what he knew of her, it was unlikely to be so.
Suddenly, his daughter's crying came from the nursery, interrupting his thoughts.
"Ah, Sicily is awake." She immediately moved her chair back and stood up. "You eat quickly, I'll go and see her."
She took off her apron, hung it on the back of the chair, and trotted into her daughter's room.
Song Beichuan didn't have any appetite as he followed her gaze. It wasn't that he wasn't hungry, nor was it that the food didn't seem to be able to satisfy his appetite. It was that the unstable feeling of hunger in his chest had already far surpassed his hunger.
Then, he saw Lin Xiaoqing carrying her crying daughter out of the room.
"Good girl, don't cry, don't cry. Mommy will immediately get Grandma for you. Cissy won't cry, don't cry." As she coaxed her daughter, she gently kissed her little face.
It was this scene that made Song Beichuan frown. It was only natural for a mother to coax her daughter, but she?
No, that was impossible. He had even suspected that she hated her own flesh and blood!
Lin Xiaoqing was the only daughter of her family. Her family was well off, her mother was a civil servant, and her father was a retired military officer. It was only when they were old that they were finally pregnant with her.
Therefore, she had not suffered much since she was born, nor had she suffered much setbacks. However, the matters of early marriage and the birth of a child could be said to have made her suffer greatly.
He remembered when Cissy was born, she had been in her family, everything had been fine, she had been as beautiful as an angel when she held her daughter in her arms, and he had felt genuinely lucky to have married her. However, when Tsukiko finishes sitting down, she and Cissy move back, and everything has changed since then.
As a new mother, Lin Xiaoqing felt a great deal of pressure. As soon as she heard the cry of a baby, she became irritable. He knew that this was not the way out, so he invited his mother, Huang Meiyue, to help him take care of him.
Three feet of ice was not a day's worth of cold. He had almost never seen her smile at his daughter until now …
"Alright, you win." He suddenly let out a heavy breath, looked like he was about to reveal his cards, and then shouted: "Just tell me straight out, what do you want? With my strength of heart, I will play games with you! "
Hearing this, Lin Xiaoqing was stunned for a few seconds. Then, she forced out a faint smile and said, "I want you to temporarily stop thinking wild thoughts. Just focus on finishing your breakfast."
"It's hard for me to eat if you play tricks on me like that."
"Don't worry, I didn't poison it." She went over to the table, bent down and put a spoonful of soup in her mouth, then drank it down, "You see, it's not poisonous, right? I didn't spit blood or foam from my mouth. "
Song Beichuan was speechless, who was this woman? Was this Lin Xiaoqing, who slept beside him every day and had a cold war with him?
"Alright, I'll stop messing around. I'll go get some milk for Cissy to drink." Then she took the bottle and walked to the nursery... As the door closed, Lin Xiaoqing could not hold back her tears any longer.
She could not help imagining that when she had treated him the same way in the past, had he suffered the same pain?
