Chapter 67: Chapter 67: Daring not to Harbor Improper Thoughts

The three of them walked together to the main road, where Xie Qifen stopped, smiling and waving goodbye.

On the way back, Su Yu and Xixi walked side by side.

On the streets, the joyful laughter of children drifted with the wind, and the scene of them playing caught Xixi’s attention. Her small feet unconsciously stopped, her eyes filled with longing and envy.

Noticing her daughter’s behavior, Su Yu gently asked, “Do you want to play with them?”

Xixi hesitated for a moment, gently nodding her little head, her eyes twinkling with anticipation and fear.

Su Yu encouraged her, “If you want to play, go ahead, Mommy will watch you here.”

However, Xixi shook her head and hid behind Su Yu’s back.

Seeing this, Su Yu did not force her but simply continued walking gently.

She tried to explore her daughter’s thoughts, “Are you afraid they will mock you because you can’t speak?”

Xixi hung her head low in silence.

Gently stroking her back, Su Yu offered a new topic tenderly yet firmly, “What if Mommy told you that I could cure your muteness, but it might require enduring some pain from acupuncture, would you be willing to try it?”

No sooner had she finished speaking than Xixi suddenly looked up, her eyes twinkling with hope. She nodded eagerly, as if to say, no matter how painful it might be, she was willing to endure it to be able to speak.

Su Yu gently extended her slender little finger, her eyes tenderly meeting those of teary-eyed Xixi, saying, “Come on, pinky promise, promise me, no more crying.”

Her words carried a subtle indulgence, like a warm spring breeze gently dispersing the clouds in Xixi’s eyes.

Xixi blinked her big eyes, her little face still streaked with drying tears.

Understanding, she carefully stretched out her chubby little finger and hooked it with Su Yu’s, fulfilling a simple but ceremonial promise.

That moment, a faint smile blossomed on Xixi’s cheek, like a flower opening for the first time.

Seeing this, a surge of inexplicable relief welled up in Su Yu’s heart; she gently rubbed Xixi’s hair with her fingertips.

The gesture was delicate and full of love, “All right, little warrior, now let’s bravely head home.”

While she said this, waves rippled in Su Yu’s heart, ‘Dragon Roar’ echoed like a phantom, making her wistfully ponder—where could that person, that heartless one who hurt innocent children, hide? How could there be such malice in the world to harm a pure and innocent child so cruelly?

When the two returned to their cozy yet modest home, Jiang Ziling gazed in disbelief at the table laden with fresh vegetables.

“So many?”

No sooner had he spoken than Su Yu shrugged nonchalantly, her tone light yet grateful, “All generously given by Aunt Wang, she didn’t let us pay a dime.”

Her words were filled with gratitude towards the neighbors, but she also took care not to overlook Aunt Wang’s regret over not having children, merely sighing silently in her heart.

After all, matters of offspring are not to be lightly judged.

In the kitchen, Su Yu looked at the dough in the basin.

Her fingers gently pressing down, it was full of resilience, seemingly telling of the miracle about to unfold.

Meanwhile, the pot of water cheerfully boiled, and she carefully scooped up the scalding hot water.

Slowly, she poured it into the prepared bath, careful not to splash the curious Xixi observing, gently cautioning, “Be careful, the water is very hot, don’t come too close.”

Afterward, a dance of flour and knife skills quietly unfolded; Su Yu, with skilled hands, held the dough in her left hand.

With her right hand brandishing a blade, swish swish swish, slices thin as snowflakes elegantly leaped into the boiling water.

The scene was so marvelous that Jiang Ziling and Xixi standing nearby were dumbstruck, as if witnessing a plain ingredient’s glamorous transformation.

“What are you dazing at, come and help, wash a water spinach, cucumber, and tomato each.”

While busily working with the noodles, Su Yu orderly directed Jiang Ziling, her voice carrying both urgency and anticipation.

Jiang Ziling quickly complied, and soon, the noodles were cooked to perfection.

The blanched water spinach appeared exceptionally vibrant and tempting, gently placed in the bowl alongside the springy noodles, just enough to satisfy the three of them.

Then, with her masterful skills, Su Yu finely chopped the bright red tomatoes.

Once the oil was hot, she quickly stir-fried it until the rich red sauce overflowed, and after seasoning, this tomato noodle dish specially made for Xixi was born.

The little one, smelling that rich fragrance, was already drooling, her mouth continuously swallowing saliva.

Su Yu patiently mixed the noodles for Xixi, not forgetting to softly remind her, “Let it cool a bit before eating, be careful of the heat, honey.”

Xixi nodded understandingly, her well-behaved appearance endearing.

The preparation for dinner under Jiang Ziling’s cooperation proceeded smoothly, and the final touch was the hot oil drizzling along the rim of the bowl.

Meeting the pre-prepared chili and Sichuan pepper soy sauce, it instantly released a tantalizing aroma.

And the carefully fried eggs and the cucumber salad added more color and taste to this simple dinner.

“Dinner’s ready!”

With Su Yu’s joyful announcement, the three of them gathered around the dinner table, immersed in the happiness brought by the food.

“Absolutely delicious!”

Jiang Ziling exclaimed sincerely, and Xixi was so excited she kept nodding, seemingly at a loss for words.

Su Yu proudly stroked her stray hair and a hint of pride flickered in her eyes, “This is nothing, stick with me, and I guarantee you’ll enjoy the finest delicacies every meal!”

Her words contained a playful element yet hid a sincere promise.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ziling slowly put down his chopsticks, his gaze earnest and serious, as if trying to convey deeper feelings through his words, “Really, Su Yu, I don’t know how to thank you enough.”

Facing Jiang Ziling’s handsome and sincere face, a warm current suddenly surged in Su Yu’s heart, and she said half-jokingly, half-seriously, “How about you devote yourself to me, take good care of me forever?”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ziling immediately felt uneasy; his handsome face blushed, seemingly at a loss for the right words to respond to this sudden “proposal.”

Su Yu quietly watched him, deep inside, perhaps awaiting a certain answer or maybe, she was subtly probing the true thoughts of this man and the clear boundaries of their feelings.

The air was filled with a subtle yet sweet atmosphere, as if hinting at a new chapter about to unfold in their relationship.

In the silent air, time seemed to freeze for a moment.

Jiang Ziling finally raised his head, his gaze softly sweeping over Su Yu’s face.

Catching the resolve and unwillingness to compromise in her eyes, a ripple stirred in his heart, and he softly said, “A woman as outstanding and well-rounded as Sister Yu should be matched with a rare talent, how could I dare to harbor undue thoughts!”
