Su Binglan looked at the person from afar and could hardly breathe.
The person stood quietly by the street, wearing a white robe. The person was radiant, like an apricot blossom and spring rain. The sunlight shone on the person’s body through the shade of the trees along the street, giving his picturesque figure a gentle luster.
A light breeze blew past, blowing up his sleeves. It was as if it was blowing one’s heart away. Su Binglan looked at the person as her heart rippled. It was Luo Jin’an; he had finally returned.
After a while, Su Binglan returned to her senses and approached him. Luo Jin’an looked at her, and there was a faint smile on his handsome face. His eyes seemed misty, and there was a gentle light in them. He seemed to suppress something behind his misty eyes.
Su Binglan slowly walked toward Luo Jin’an, and her heart started beating wildly with each step. She wondered why her heart was throbbing. She only felt that the sun was brightly shining when she saw him.
Her throbbing heart made her feel youthful like she was in a modern school romance. She only felt happy to see Luo Jin’an again. When Su Binglan almost reached him, Luo Jin’an took a few steps forward.
When the couple stood face to face, Su Binglan said smilingly, “You’re back!”
Her tone was natural, although she had been yearning for him to return. Luo Jin’an smiled elegantly, nodded, and said gently, “Yes, I’m back.”
Su Binglan looked into her husband’s gentle eyes, and her heartbeat turned frantic. Her eyelids trembled as she said, “Are you tired? Have you had lunch?”
She had many things to say to her husband, but those were the first questions she asked. She could not help because she worried her husband was tired and hungry, mainly because it was past noon, and she did not know if he had eaten.
“Oh, I’m not tired.” Still, Luo Jin’an had not eaten lunch because he was in a hurry to return. Maybe he had forgotten to eat because he was in a hurry to see his wife. Nonetheless, he was not tired.
Su Binglan looked around Luo Jin’an’s eyes and noticed black circles, so she knew he had not rested well recently.
She took the horse’s rope from his hand and said, “Let’s go to Wenzhe’s restaurant for some food first. We’ll go home after that so you can rest well. I’ll cook something delicious for you later tonight.”
Luo Jin’an said, “Okay.”
Su Binglan brought him to the haggis soup shop, and his expression changed when he saw the change on the signboard.
Su Binglan was careful and let Luo Jin’an stop. She followed his gaze to the signboard and explained, “We’re building a tofu factory and won’t be selling tofu here anymore. That’s why I changed the name to Su’s Haggis Soup.”
Luo Jin’an nodded and said, “Well, that’s good too.”
His eves were calm when he looked at his wife as if thev were full of emotion Su Binglan always thought her husband’s gaze was soul-stirring and had an incredible impact, making others unable to resist staring.
It was as if Luo Jin’an had a lot to say to his wife, but when she waited for him to say something, he said nothing. Still, his voice felt warm and gentle. It made others feel comfortable when listening to him.
Since the weather was colder, most had their haggis soup and sesame buns inside the restaurant. There were fewer people at the stalls outside. The few people only sat outside because the restaurant had no space left.
Liu Yinyin and Su Wenzhe mostly worked in the restaurant when Su Binglan brought Luo Jin’an into the restaurant. Liu Yinyin served the customers while her husband made more sesame buns.
“Hello, Big Brother. Hello Sister-in-law.”
The working couple looked up when they heard Su Binglan’s voice. However, they were stunned when they saw Luo Jin’an.
“Brother-in-law! You’re finally back!”
Luo Jin’an walked over from behind Su Binglan and said, “Hello,
Brother-in-law and Sister-in-law.”
Su Wenzhe was ecstatic, and his eyes revealed a look of surprise. “It’s really you! You’ve been gone for too long, Jin’an! Binglan told us your principal arranged for you to go to the prefecture capital, but I didn’t expect you to take so long.”
Liu Yinyin also said smilingly, “It’s good that you’re back. Our family is reunited now!”
Now that Luo Jin’an and Su Wenwu had returned, the Su family was finally whole again after such a long time.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Liu Yinyin said, “Have you not eaten, Jin’an? Wait a moment. I’ll serve you some haggis soup, and you can have it with an omelet.”
She served Luo Jin’an a big bowl of haggis soup immediately after. She also prepared three dumplings for him. Two would have been enough, but Liu Yinyin thought otherwise.
“I’ll serve you more later.”
Su Binglan had eaten but still liked accompanying her husband while he ate. Since there was no space left inside the restaurant, the couple went to the back room to eat.
The platform was warm since Su Wenzhe had been making sesame buns the whole morning. Hence, the couple took a table, sat on the heated platform, and ate.
Su Binglan did not ask Liu Yinyin to serve her anything because Su Binglan said she had already eaten lunch. Still, she was sitting beside Luo Jin’an, so he looked at her and pushed the haggis soup over. “You should eat too.”
“I’ve already had lunch, so I’m not hungry. It would be best if you ate.” Su Binglan looked at her husband with joy, thrilled that he had finally returned.
Still, Luo Jin’an scooped a spoonful of soup with meat and brought it to his wife’s mouth.
Su Binglan’s hands trembled when she noticed her husband’s actions and eyes. She thought his eyes were magical.
“I can drink it myself.” Su Binglan took the spoon from Luo Jin’an and drank the soup. Not only did she feel warmth in her stomach, but she also felt it in her heart. “Okay, now you eat. I’d be too full if I ate any more.”
At that moment, Luo Jin’an started eating the sesame bun with the soup since he was indeed hungry. Even so, his every move was elegant. Watching him eat was like watching a work of art in motion.
Luo Jin’an could feel his wife’s gaze, so he looked at her smilingly and asked softly, “Why do you keep looking at me like that?”
He thought Su Binglan would answer honestly—instead, she put her hand on her cheek and said, “Guess!”
‘Ugh, why does this sound familiar?’
“Hmph, I asked you something before, and you said the same thing, so I won’t tell you.” The answer was evident, but he did not say it.
Luo Jin’an looked at Su Binglan’s cute appearance and chuckled. “Well, okay.” His smile was charming, making Su Binglan feel all warm inside. It was a gentle feeling.
After a pause, Luo Jin’an said, “You can ask what happened.”
Bang!
Su Binglan felt like fireworks were going off in her heart at that moment..
