33 Is My Time Cheap? (1/2)
Saturday 13th 2010 - Apartment 5
It was 7:30 am. Li Xiuying and Little 4th were showered and dressed. They were sitting at the kitchen counter eating some vegetable dumplings that Li Xiuying had made with soy milk.
Li Xiuying: ”Did you not sleep well last night, you look like a baby panda.”
Little 4th looked a little guilty as he told a small white lie: ”I slept fine big Sister YingYing.”
I can't let Big sister think I couldn't sleep, she might not let me stay over again.
Little 4th only managed to sleep for 4 hours the night before.
Li Xiuying raised an eyebrow. ”Mmm. You'll have to have a nap after we get to the hospital.”
Little 4th nodded and continued eating the dumplings.
Little 4th noticed Li Xiuying smiling at her phone.
Little 4th was curious: ”What are you looking at Big sister YingYing?
What would have made his sister so happy?
Li Xiuying: ”News.”
Little 4th remembered that Li his big sister had asked his daddy to help her report some news about some Li Yu Yan and ex-fiance.
Little 4th: ”Can I see?” His eyes contained curiosity.
Li Xiuying put her phone in Little 4th's hand. He stared at the man and woman.
My big sister is much better than this woman. This man doesn't look worthy of my sister.
He handed the phone back.
They had both finishes breakfast and headed to the living room to watch some TV.
...
At 8:00 am Qin Jingfei shot out of bed.
Qin Jingfei ran to the living room. Why didn't either of you wake me up! I only have 30 minutes to get ready, do you know how long it usually takes me to get ready and I have to...”
Little 4th and Li Xiuying didn't look away from the TV.
Little 4th expressionlessly said: ”You didn't ask us to wake you up. You should have set an alarm.”
Li Xiuying: ”14 minutes and 30 seconds.”
Qin Jingfei: ”AARRRGGHH”
She quickly went to jump in the shower and get away from the expressionless zombies on the sofa.
At 8:15 Li Xiuying and Little 4th were putting on their coats and shoes in the entrance foyer.
Qin Jingfei ran towards them her coat over her arm, her bag half falling from her shoulder, her hair falling all over her face, she had a steamed bun in her mouth and no makeup on her face.
Little 4th looked at Qin Jingfei.
Qin Jingfei finished chewing her dumpling and said sternly: ”Don't say a word little 4th.”
Qin Jingfei sulked inside especially after seeing Little 4th's ”why do you look like that” face.
...
Li Xiuying and Little 4th strolled leisurely hand in hand towards the hospital.
Qin Jingfei: ”What are you two doing right now?”
Little 4th replied in a matter-of-fact tone: ”We're walking to the hospital, it takes 20 minutes.”
Qin Jingfei: ”I realise we're walking, what I was asking is why aren't we taking the car?”
Li Xiuying: ”Exercise and Parking.”
Qin Jingfei: ”Fine you two walk and get exercise, can I drive your car?”
Li Xiuying: ”Are you covered by my insurance?”
Are all the Qin family covered under my car insurance policy? I should ask elder Qin.
Qin Jingfei: ”...”
