The three-day celebration of Red Tide City has finally come to an end.
Yini, with the heavy "40th Anniversary Contributor Medal," returned to her home in the capital under the twilight glow.
As she opened the door, the aroma of stewed meat greeted her.
From the kitchen came the gentle sound of a pot lid being moved, as John focused intently on the stove, wearing an apron.
"You're back?" He turned his head and casually wiped the water from his hands, "Sit down, the water just boiled."
As he spoke, his gaze involuntarily drifted to Yini's chest.
The dark gold medal twinkled slightly under the indoor lights, impossible to ignore.
Yini noticed and a proud smile tugged at her lips.
She deliberately puffed out her chest, as if showcasing a recently completed project in a lab.
"Take a good look, Comrade John," she said half-jokingly.
"Lord Louis personally put it on me. From today on, shouldn't tasks like washing dishes and taking out the trash be your responsibility?"
