Chapter 429 - Grandchildren, No More (2/2)
”I've already eaten. You have it.” Xia Ruoxin then walked into the kitchen again, bringing out a glass of apple juice for him to drink. Gao Yi used to love drinking tea, but drinking it at night might result in poor sleep quality. Although being very tired—even if it's ten flasks worth of tea, he probably would still be able to fall into a deep sleep. Later on, Xia Ruoxin changed his tea to fruit juice. She used her own first month's paycheck to purchase a relatively good blender; there were apples, peaches, bananas, and watermelon. Sometimes, there was yogurt, too. Rainy was not picky and seemed to like drinking it as though she liked drinking the juice over milk.
”Thank you, this was just what I needed.” Gao Yi received the glass of juice. After a few mouthfuls, almost half of the glass was gone.
”Have your dinner. I'll take a look at my laptop first,” Xia Ruoxin spoke as she opened her laptop to see if there was work for her to do. Checking her email inbox—indeed, there were a few emails. Recently, her business was doing not bad, having accepted more than ten pictures. Furthermore, Teacher Su Li let her become an assistant teacher. Although the monthly salary wasn't high, she could come into contact with drawing-related things, letting her learn a lot. There was not much time left every day, but she spent her time productively. Only until did she realize, time could be spent like this.
She took over the pen, noting down all the requests on her book. Tomorrow—after Rainy goes for school, she would start with work. Accidentally, her fingers touched the bottom right Penguin, which opened the Penguin app.
On her Penguin, there weren't many people; and it wasn't something she cared about daily. Yet, she found out that at this timing, that person was still there.
Summer's Not Over, ”You're still here?”
A Sunny Day Will Come sent out a shocked expression: ”Why, you're not asleep?”
Summer's Not Over, ”Nope, just woke up. He just returned from work so I cooked something for him and came to check my email inbox on the way.”
A Sunny Day Will Come, ”You're really a good woman.”
Summer's Not Over, ”It's not like that. If others treat me well, I would naturally treat them well, too.”
A Sunny Day Will Come, ”What if they don't treat you well?”
Xia Ruoxin took her pen and tapped lightly on the table. What to do, an eye for an eye? She wouldn't.
She typed a line of words, but it didn't feel suitable so she deleted it and retyped another line of words.
Summer's Not Over, ”That unhappiness, forgetting it will do.”
A Sunny Day Will Come, ”Even past love—can that be forgotten?”
Xia Ruoxin's fingers paused for a while, there was an inexplicable feeling. It was as though there was something far away, lightly poking at her heart. The place where it was torn apart, obviously, still hurt.
Summer's Not Over, ”It will ultimately be forgotten. It's impossible to remember something forever; humans are often forgetful.”
A Sunny Day Will Come, ”Is it… humans are forgetful? Then what if I'm unable to forget it forever—you say, can I still receive forgiveness?”
”Ruoxin, is there still food? I still want to eat.” Gao Yi, who was at the side eating, placed his bowl down and directed his question to Xia Ruoxin. That bowl down didn't have many effects. It was imaginable how hungry he must have been.
