Qin Yin didn't know how to make him let go of his hang-ups again. All she could do was follow Mrs. Ning every day and learn to cook with all her heart. The daily meals were almost always prepared by her own hands. In the beginning, Mrs. Ning did more, but later, Mrs. Ning was just there to explain, as Qin Yin did the cooking herself. Only when she was a bit flustered would Mrs. Ning lend a hand.
During the past week, Nan Sichen had been coming home on time every night for dinner, and sometimes even at noon.
She was usually very busy but there was one evening when Qin Yin ate so much that she couldn't move from the couch, to which Nan Sichen asked her, "Is someone competing with you for food?"
Without thinking she said, "I eat alone at home every noon; I can't really eat much, so by evening I'm especially hungry."
For her sake, to help her eat more at noon, he tried his best to free up his lunchtime to accompany her for lunch.
