249 Noodles Cooked by Rainy (1/2)

Xia Ruoxin's steps were swift. In the darkness, an emaciated woman could be seen forging ahead.

Her thoughts were with her daughter at home, the little girl who was currently sick.

At last, she made it to her doorstep. She took out her bunch of keys with shaking hands, hardly having time to catch her breath. The door opened. There she stood, under the dim light, unable to move her heavy feet all of a sudden.

She dropped her purse on the floor and walked gingerly towards her daughter who sprawled on the table.

On it were two bowls of cold noodles.

Did Rainy make these? She watched until her eyes became sore and even began to redden. The sting was unbearable.

She crouched her body and carried her daughter in one hand. Rainy awakened at this moment. She rubbed her eyes, and her lips curved into a smile.

”Mommy, I made noodles for you and for myself. Oh, I have not eaten yet. I was waiting for you to come back.” She embraced Xia Ruoxin's neck. ”Mommy, you are very late today. I am so hungry.” She rubbed her cheek against the nape of Xia Ruoxin's neck, seemingly not fully conscious.

”Mommy knows. Rainy is so capable.” She sobbed as she told her daughter and carried her over to the bed.

”Mommy, I want to eat noodles. I want to eat the noodles that I have made. There's also one for you.” She continued to rub her eyes to make sure that she woke up.

Soon, however, her long eyelashes started to close helplessly. The light shone on her little face only emphasized how pale her complexion was.
