After finishing today's morning run, Ke Mingye went to Hong Ge Food Street and enjoyed some shumai and soy milk. He then took the subway home.
Upon arriving, he unlocked the door and as it swung open, his gaze swept through the hallway. The living room was still emptily quiet.
Ke Mingye sat down on the couch and idly scrolled through his phone. The old wall clock ticked away, its hands turning to 8:30, when finally some activity stirred in the living room.
Ke Youqing and Bai Wenna woke up. One sat at the dining table reading a newspaper while the other fried eggs in a skillet, chatting about their plans to go on a honeymoon next week.
Ke Youqing, unable to argue, had agreed to the plan. It looked like the Labor Model Hero would be missing from Huanjing for a while.
Ke Mingye sat on the couch, silently listening to the couple's conversation.
