Du Xixi held a strainer in one hand and the pot's liner in the other. Without needing Ke Lian's help, she deftly filtered the soup. She put down the liner, looked at the clear and slightly oily soup in the glass bowl, and her eyes twinkled with satisfaction.
The next step was to leave everything to time. The cooled soup needed to be placed in the fridge to freeze, ready for use whenever needed.
This waiting time didn't require Du Xixi and Ke Lian's attention. Du Xixi instructed 2569, who was diligently chopping vegetables on the side, to put the soup in the fridge once it had cooled, then left with Ke Lian.
Outside, the three of them, led by Chen Yin, had already finished off the egg rolls and were leisurely chatting on the couch. Chen Yin was the first to notice Du Xixi and Ke Lian leaving the kitchen, and he greeted them with a laugh: "Oh, the young couple finally came out, sister, come sit by your brother!"
