I ignored the awkwardness of Zheng Xuaner standing there, preoccupied with arranging the dinnerware, and called out to Zheng Yufei, "Hurry up, it's going to get cold soon."
Zheng Yufei responded from the bathroom as I sat down at the dinner table and served myself a full bowl of rice. Gazing at the glistening, round grains, I felt somewhat emotional. Life really was blissful now.
Seeing that I was ignoring her, Zheng Xuaner guessed that I might be angry and sheepishly took her place at the table. The atmosphere between us fell into silence.
When Zheng Yufei joined us at the table, she felt the unusual atmosphere and frowned, "What's happened, why are things so tense between you two?"
I looked at Zheng Yufei and shook my head, "It's nothing, just a bit tired, that's all. There's too much going on at the plant, and it's been making my head spin."
