"Alright."
Si Chen held her little hand as they walked along the roadside. "I visited my parents the other day and they were thrilled to know that I am working here. You rest for a day, and I will take you to see them the day after," he said. "You probably haven't seen them in a while."
Tong Yao feigned anger and retorted, "They are the ones who married me off so far. They should experience what it feels like to miss their daughter."
Si Chen chuckled softly. A glimpse at his upturned mouth would reveal that his mood was lifted. The two hailed a taxi and went straight to a noodle shop near Si Chen's residence. Tong Yao was indeed hungry, wolfing down a large bowl of fried sauce noodles.
When they left the noodle shop, it was already dark outside. Walking hand in hand under the street lamps, they were occasionally surrounded by young couples strolling along the roadside. This made Tong Yao felt like she was a girl freshly in love, heart bounding with excitement.
