The next morning.
Yan Yu got up, washed up, and went downstairs to sit on the living room sofa, only to see Lin Ning preparing breakfast in the kitchen.
The sweltering heat of August was bearing down, with temperatures already in the 30s early in the morning. Because of this, Sister Lin was wearing only a tank top and denim shorts, with a kitchen apron tied in front to shield from the oil splatter, revealing large patches of her fair and healthy skin on her shoulders, arms, thighs, and lower back.
Yeah, summer is great!
On the gas stove, a pot was boiling with wonton noodles, a frying pan contained fish cakes, and in the rice cooker was a simmering porridge, next to which stood a buzzing soy milk machine. Lin Ning was preparing breakfast for five people all by herself, yet her movements were orderly and efficient.
Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed Yan Yu watching her, and turned to say,
"Breakfast will be ready soon; go call them down to eat."
