At Ah Xin's Ramen.
It was just nice in the afternoon when Qin Chu arrived.
It was past lunchtime and there were not many people at the noodle restaurant.
Now that students were on winter vacation, business was not as good as before.
However, this boss still insisted on opening his shop and didn't close it until New Year's Eve.
Upon seeing Qin Chu, the boss welcomed him warmly.
"Mr. Qin, long time no see."
"Yeah, I haven't been here in a while."
Qin Chu walked in, took off his deerskin gloves, and sat in the corner.
"Where's your wife?"
The shop owner knew that Mr. and Mrs. Qin were inseparable. They would come together almost every time.
They each ate a bowl of hot beef ramen.
"My wife went on a trip."
"Haha, she must have gone overseas. I haven't seen her in a long time."
"Yeah. She's been abroad for a long time."
After Huo Mian was swapped at Yunnan, she hadn't been back for a long time.
Qin Chu told the shop owner that his wife had gone on a long trip, which was a way to comfort himself.
"Still the same, a big bowl of beef ramen?"
"No, I want two bowls."
"Can you finish two bowls?" The shop owner was slightly stunned.
"I can. I'll have a bowl on my wife's behalf, " Qin Chu said.
After hearing this, the shop owner laughed heartily.
"You two are such an interesting couple... Back when you were dating, when you were still students, you often came together... Later on, when you went abroad to study, your wife often came by herself. Following that when you came back, both of you got married, and then the two of you would come together again... Later on, it seemed like you weren't feeling well, so you went abroad to recuperate for about three to four years. It was your wife who came by herself, sometimes bringing your twin daughters with her... After you got better and came back to China, you guys came together again... Now, your wife is traveling, and you're alone again."
"That's right. We're husband and wife who are inseparable. We'll be together forever."
Qin Chu smiled blissfully...
It was a smile that only appeared when Huo Mian was mentioned.
"Let me tell you, when you were recuperating abroad... every time your wife came, she would order two bowls and say that she would eat one for you... Did you two come to an agreement about that?"
The shop owner's words filled Qin Chu with mixed feelings.
His hands trembled slightly...
"My wife, did she say the same?"
"Yeah, it's just like what you said... Alright, I won't talk to you anymore. I'll cook you some noodles quickly. Eat it while it's hot."
The owner was a warm-hearted person. After chatting with Qin Chu for a while, he quickly went into the kitchen to cook noodles.
Qin Chu looked at the familiar environment and the familiar school...
Only that familiar voice was missing...
Just then, Pudding video called him.
Qin Chu didn't want to take the call; he didn't want his children to see him missing Mian.
However, he was afraid that Pudding would think too much. After all, she was a sensitive child.
So after some thought, he picked it up.
"Pudding."
"Daddy..." Pudding called out sweetly.
"Are you eating ramen at Ah Xin?" Pudding immediately recognized the background behind her father.
"Yes."
"Are you missing Mommy?" Pudding was almost sure that the one at home wasn't Mommy.
Otherwise, if Mommy was around, Daddy would never go to Ah Xin's Ramen alone to eat.
"Mhm." Qin Chu nodded.
"My little sister misses home a little tonight... She missed you and Mommy... and was a little moody at night. Auntie and Uncle Tang had gone to coax her and read her a story."
"What about you?"
"I took the opportunity to video call Daddy from the balcony..."
Qin Chu laughed.
"Daddy, the scenery in California is great... You and Mommy used to come here, right?"
"Yes, she also likes Hotel California, " Qin Chu said.
"Then, when Mommy gives birth to a younger brother, the five of us shall come to California again, okay?"
