Shi Nian waited until 9 pm to know that Qiang Fei was working overtime again. It wasn't an uncommon occurrence. Qiang Fei often worked until late at night and returned early in the morning. By then, Shi Nian had already been asleep and when she woke up, Qiang Fei was either still sleeping or had gone to work again.
They could maintain this kind of habit of not meeting face to face even though they lived in the same house for more than five days.
After weekend arrived, Qiang Fei would return much earlier than usual and they could finally have dinner together.
Thus, when she received Qiang Fei's message at 6 pm, telling her to eat dinner first, Shi Nian obediently whisked out two eggs and started to cook. She fried one while the other was made into egg soup. It was both fulfilling and delicious as she was the kind of person who could survive on eggs for days without getting bored.
