Chapter 466 - There was an Uncle (1/2)

He took out a stick of cigarette as though he was living in the past. Unexpectedly, his dispassionate lips curled into a smile or something which resembled a smile.

…

Xia Ruoxin opened the door and changed into her slippers. She put both of her hands at each side of her face and started rubbing in hopes that her almost-frozen face would warm up quickly.

Another door opened. Rainy's head popped out from behind the door. The moment she saw Xia Ruoxin, she ran to her happily.

”Stop.” Xia Ruoxin reached out with both hands and stopped her.

Rainy stopped obediently. She bit on her thumb and blinked her eyes at her mother in curiosity. ”Is Mommy playing a game with me?”

”Yes.” Xia Ruoxin rubbed her hands together. They had frozen into icicles. It was best not to put her freezing hands on Rainy.

”You're back.” Gao Yi came out of the kitchen, holding a spatula.

For a second, Xia Ruoxin was dumbfounded. ”Gao Yi, you know who to cook?”

”Mm-hmm. A little.” Gao Yi took the spatula back into the kitchen. ”I only know how to cook noodles. Rainy is helping me, too.”

Rainy puffed up her chest. ”Mommy, I am very capable. I can help Daddy with many things.” She ran over and pulled Xia Ruoxin's hand. However, when she touched Xia Ruoxin's fingers, she suddenly thought of something.

”Mommy's hands are cold? Let me warm them up for you.” She held both of her mother's hands in her little ones with the intention of passing her own body warm to her mother. However, her hands were too small, and they could only hold one of her mother's fingers. Xia Ruoxin allowed Rainy to hold her hand and led her into the kitchen. Fortunately, it wasn't as messy as she thought. The kitchen was quite clean. A pot of water was boiling on the stove, and there was a packet of noodles at the chopping board. It was a brand commonly sold in the supermarket, but it was better than instant noodles.

”Let me do it.” She rolled up her sleeves and took the spatula from Gao Yi who held Rainy's hand. The both of them stared at that pot as their stomach rumbled in unison.

Gao Yi was embarrassed, but Rainy didn't know what that felt like. She was also not ashamed of her hungry as she rubbed her little stomach.

”Mommy, Daddy and my stomach are singing.”

”Okay. What song are they singing?” Xia Ruoxin took the noodles and put them into the pot. She even had the time to chit-chat with her daughter. Naturally, that man's mouth was shut. He was too embarrassed to talk right now.

Rainy rubbed her stomach again.

”Mommy, my stomach is singing. Daddy and I are hungry. We want noodles.”

”Okay. Let them sing for a bit more.” Xia Ruoxin opened the fridge with one hand and took out two eggs. In his attempt to stop Rainy from talking, Gao Yi quickly carried her and brought her into the living room. Rainy was puzzled, and she continued to be concerned with her tummy.

”Daddy, my stomach has stopped singing.”

”You're right. It stopped.” However, Gao Yi's stomach decided to rumble this time.
