Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

At first, Jing Yao thought that she could play with her cell phone as long as she wanted since Liang Xun was on a business trip.

However, after hanging up with Liang Xun, she turned on the video app and felt that those videos were meaningless. She quickly swiped through more than 10 of them, but none of them made her stop.

Liang Xun had just boarded the plane at this time and had to wait for more than 10 hours before she could contact him.

Jing Yao threw her cell phone on the coffee table and went to the kitchen door to chat with Auntie Li.

After sitting at the kitchen door for a long time, Jing Yao looked at the time again. Only half an hour had passed.

Jing Yao complained to Auntie Li with a bitter expression. “Auntie Li, why do you think time passes so slowly today?”

As someone who had been through this before, Auntie Li knew that she missed Liang Xun. She smiled and gave her an idea. “Go and look for a movie. After you finish watching the movie, you can have lunch.”

Auntie Li didn’t mention Liang Xun at all because she was afraid that she would be even sadder if Jing Yao was mentioned.

When young people were deeply in love, it was not an exaggeration to say that days felt like years after they separated.

Jing Yao went to the living room obediently and flipped through the movie for a long time. She was no longer interested in the movies that she used to watch.

She casually put one down. It happened to be a comedy.

Jing Yao forced herself to stare at the screen seriously. Gradually, she really fell into it and even laughed from time to time.

Auntie Li vaguely heard something in the kitchen and heaved a sigh of relief.

Seeing a funny scene in the drama, Jing Yao instinctively tilted her head and said, “Look at him…”

Her words stopped abruptly, and the smile on her face froze.

She instinctively wanted to share what she saw with Liang Xun.

Jing Yao turned around expressionlessly. In the drama, the protagonist made a big joke and everyone around him was laughing at him.

Jing Yao frowned and thought, What’s so funny?

She had completely forgotten that she used to laugh so hard every time she saw this scene.

Jing Yao watched it patiently for a few more minutes. In the end, she couldn’t stand it anymore and turned off the television.

She stood up, opened the door, and went to the garden outside.

At this time of the year, the leaves outside were withered and the flowers were withered. Only the evergreen tree and the succulents in the corner of the garden looked green.

Auntie Li had just turned on the smoke hood before stir-frying the vegetables. The sound of the smoke hood covered the sound of Jing Yao opening the door. She didn’t hear Jing Yao go out. After cooking, she was shocked to see that Jing Yao wasn’t in the living room.

She searched the house first, then hurriedly went out to look.

Jing Yao stood in the corner where the succulents were planted. She seemed to be looking at the succulents, but her eyes were empty. There was nothing in her eyes.

Auntie Li sighed. When she first came here, she thought that the couple’s relationship seemed to be one-way, but she gradually realized it.

Actually, Jing Yao had a deep relationship with Liang Xun. Every time she told her about Liang Xun, her eyes would be filled with smiles.

Now that Liang Xun was on a business trip, her face was no longer as glorious.

“Yaoyao.” Auntie Li walked to Jing Yao’s side and smiled. “The food is ready. Let’s go and eat.”

Jing Yao turned around and smiled at her before following her into the house.

Auntie Li was very good at cooking and had specially learned how to make pregnant women’s meals. These dishes were Jing Yao’s favorites.

However, she did not seem to have much of an appetite today.

Auntie Li couldn’t persuade her, so she kept putting food into Jing Yao’s bowl.

Jing Yao didn’t want her to worry and basically ate everything. After eating, she even praised sweetly, “Auntie Li’s cooking today is also superb. It’s especially delicious.”

Auntie Li sighed softly in her heart. Such a cute girl had suffered a lot in the past.

Auntie Li had also seen the news. She didn’t use Weibo, but her daughter had shown it to her.

“It’s fine as long as you think it’s delicious. I’ll make something else for you tonight. Yaoyao, is there anything you especially want to eat?” Auntie Li asked Jing Yao.

In the past, Jing Yao would definitely order two dishes, but today, she shook her head and said, “No, I like everything Auntie Li makes.”

Jing Yao paused for a moment and said, “Shen Zhao is coming tonight, so you have to cook two more dishes.”

Auntie Li hurriedly agreed with a smile. She was quite happy to know that Shen Zhao was coming.

Auntie Li knew that girl too. She was quite cheerful and cute. With her company, Jing Yao should be in a much better mood.

When it was time to take an afternoon nap, Jing Yao went to bed obediently. Even though she couldn’t fall asleep, she kept lying on the bed. After a long time, she fell asleep for a few minutes in a daze, but she woke up very quickly.

She turned on her cell phone helplessly and clicked on an audio. Liang Xun’s gentle and low voice came from inside. Jing Yao lay on her side with the cell phone by her ear and finally fell asleep..
