Lin Lan entered the kitchen, but first went into the bedroom to check on Little Douzi. Seeing he was asleep in bed, she turned and returned to the kitchen.
After seeing Brother Yong off, Li Xiangyang came in from outside carrying a back-basket. He gave her a gentle look. "Brother Yong's clothes were wet, and we don't have anything for him to change into here. I let him take the bicycle."
As he spoke, he walked over to the cupboard, took out a plate, and placed a piece of pork liver on it. "I saved some of the liver to make a stir-fry."
"Mhm," Lin Lan nodded without looking at him.
Li Xiangyang gave her a little tug. "I'll cook. You go make the bed for Qiaohui."
Blushing, Lin Lan shot him a look before heading to the bedroom. Li Xiangyang watched her go, his eyes crinkling with a smile. He then took a gourd ladle, scooped water into the pot, washed the rice, and set it to cook.
