Gu Qiqi practiced from morning to noon and from noon to night.
She forgot to rest and forgot to eat. She kept improving the five moves of the Five Animal Frolics technique. She felt that she was much more agile than before, as if she had found a sense of integration…
It wasn’t until it was almost midnight that she wiped her sweat and walked out of the forest.
It was refreshing!
When she got home.
She had thought that Xiaobei and the little boy were already asleep.
Unexpectedly, the two of them and Yang Xiaolan were still in the living room.
Xiaobei was focused on repairing the damaged Brother Yun.
Although he couldn’t see, he felt around with his hands, changing the parts, oiling them, and redesigning the control program…
On the other hand, the little boy was curled up on the sofa, playing Go with Xiaolan. Along the way, he complained that Xiaolan’s chess skills could not keep up with his.
As soon as Gu Qiqi opened the door, the little packrat was the first to run over with his short legs. “Big Sister!”
He turned around and said proudly to Xiaolan, “Auntie Xiaolan, I won. I said that Big Sister would definitely be back before midnight. Look, she’s here!”
Xiaolan smiled. “Yes, yes. Your young miss is really punctual.”
“Of course because Daddy isn’t around, Big Sister has to sleep with me!”
Xiaolan was embarrassed.
Cough, cough, cough. This sentence sounded a little inappropriate for children. There was no way to continue!
Gu Qiqi also had a helpless expression on her face. She hadn’t noticed the problem of whether she slept with him or not. However, she had heard the little packrat call everyone else ‘auntie’ and ‘uncle’. It was especially smooth, but when it came to her, it was always ‘Big Sister’.
Alright, it was much better than calling her a vixen in the past.
However, in the blink of an eye, she saw that the little packrat’s fair and chubby face had gradually recovered. Gu Qiqi couldn’t help but hug and kiss it again. “Good little packrat, it’s not good to stay up late. Let’s go and sleep!”
“But I want to eat the supper made by Big Sister!” The little packrat made a small request.
How could Gu Qiqi bear to refuse?
She put down the boy. “Alright, wait for me! I’ll make you a midnight snack that you’ve never eaten before!”
After putting on her apron, Gu Qiqi cooked personally.
For a moment, she really felt like a happy housewife.
It was as if she was personally taking care of her son, who was waiting to be fed, while her husband was on a business trip.
Gu Qiqi secretly laughed at herself. Was she too immersed in the role? That was Gong Jue’s son.
However, it was true. Unknowingly, Gu Qiqi had already doted on the little boy like her own son.
Well, it didn’t seem that difficult to be a stepmother.
The corners of Gu Qiqi’s lips couldn’t help but curl up slightly. She began to skillfully beat the egg mixture, sieve the flour, cut the mushrooms, cut the sausages, grind the flowers to make sesame powder…
The gas stove was turned on, and small blue flames flickered.
On the frying pan stand.
Soon, fragrance filled the air.
The three people in the living room were starting to drool.
They stopped what they were doing and craned their necks towards the kitchen.
“Big Sister, what delicious food did you make?”
“Sis, I haven’t tasted your cooking in a long time!”
“Qiqi, you actually know how to cook!”
Gu Qiqi smiled. Of course she knew how to cook. Back then, she had even made bullwhip soup for Gong Jue.
“Wait a moment. This is called ‘salty and sweet pancakes,’ and it’s super delicious. This salty one is already ready. Xiaolan, help me carry it for you guys to eat first. The sweet one still needs some time!”
As soon as it was out of the bowl, it was fried until it was golden and fragrant. As soon as it was served, it was divided between the three of them.
Xiaobei turned on the television and listened to the midnight news while making lemon tea for everyone.
As they ate their pancakes and sipped their tea, an indescribable warmth and happiness filled the room. Everyone was smiling.
Gu Qiqi was also indescribably satisfied in the kitchen.
She even thought of making it for Gong Jue to try when he returned.
Except…
On the television in the living room, an explosive piece of news suddenly popped up on the midnight news!
