"Shen Qing, go ahead with your work. I'll wash the dishes after I finish the noodles," Qin Mei said to her. It felt a bit awkward having Shen Qing stare at her while she ate.
Shen Qing didn't say anything. She took her own bowl and chopsticks to wash, and even washed the pot before walking out of the kitchen.
Having eaten the vegetables and two fried eggs, Qin Mei was almost full. She really couldn't eat the noodles. She wondered if she should throw them away. Wasting food was shameful, especially in this era of scarcity.
Just as Qin Mei was fretting over this, Jie Jingchen returned. Seeing the travel-worn Jie Jingchen, Qin Mei's eyes flickered slightly. She then flashed a bright smile and waved at him.
"You..." Jie Jingchen looked at the large bowl of noodles in front of Qin Mei. She didn't like wheat-based food, yet she had cooked noodles to eat. She must have been starving. His eyes filled with heartache. "I'll cook something for you."
