Sleepover

Qin Yu and Ning Chen returned home and immediately caught the fragrance of bone broth from within.

Her stomach growled.

Before she left, she only ate a little. That wasn't enough and after a whole day's work, she was starving.

Ah Bi brought out a bowl of soup. Qin Yu was about to take a sip when someone came in and said, "Young Mistress, Madam Qu and Miss Shi are here."

Oh, they really came.

Qin Yu tugged on Ning Chen, who gripped her hand in reassurance. Don't worry, he's here.

A moment later, Shi Xiao and Qu Li entered.

In such cold weather, Shi Xiao and Qu Li wore a set of rather thin clothes. It was supposed to be worn in late fall instead.

Qin Yu knew what was going on -- they couldn't afford their down jackets at all.

Although Shi Xiao and Qu Li had put on a thick layer of makeup, it couldn't hide their current sorry state.
