Shen Yi brought over a large piece of beef, a can of food, and a box of mooncakes—a different kind from the ones he had given Qin Jiao earlier.
Su Yun said, "Oh, you should have just come over. You didn't need to bring anything! Besides, Xiao Jiao already brought some mooncakes from your house earlier."
"There aren't many people in my family. Besides, it's more lively eating together here." Shen Yi was never a man of many words, but Su Yun was quite fond of the boy. Her heart ached for him, especially after hearing about his childhood experiences.
So she shooed Shen Yi out of the kitchen. "Our kitchen is small, so you can go on out. Your uncle and I can handle the cooking."
Shen Yi nodded, turned, and walked out, just in time to see Qin Jiao—and the surprise in her eyes.
Of course she was surprised.
