Chi Zaozao prepared the tomato fruit platter and just as she was bringing it out, she encountered Ye Que.
She stood in front of him, recalling the casual remark she had just made, and asked him, "Chen Xi...do you have a nickname, 'Little Monkey'?"
Ye Que was slightly startled and nodded as he looked at her.
Chi Zaozao didn't continue the conversation, thoughtfully carrying the fruit platter into the dining room.
She had, out of the blue, used Ye Chenxi's childhood nickname and even knew he loved tomatoes?
Did she love them?
Chi Zaozao didn't know whether he loved them or not, but as she washed the tomatoes, she inexplicably said that.
How odd.
Little Monkey, dressed up by Rong Zhen, slid down the banister early in the morning and greeted Ye Que and Chi Zaozao cheerfully.
"Daddy, Mommy, good morning."
Chi Zaozao, standing in the living room, also waved at him, "Chen Xi, good morning."
