Su Xiaonai looked at Ji Anren’s hair and said,
“Thankfully, you have a lot of hair. Otherwise, your head would have definitely split open.”
Ji Anren smiled bitterly. While waiting for the medicine in the pharmacy, Ji Anren took the initiative to chat with Su Xiaonai.
He suddenly recalled that he had seen a little girl and a little boy that looked exactly the same entering the 20th floor. He asked.
“Do you have two children?”
Su Xiaonai didn’t deny, so she nodded.
Ji Anren frowned and probed.
“Where’s the father? I’ve never seen him before.”
Su Xiaonai paused and told him the truth.
“I’m single.”
Ji Anren was momentarily surprised, and a trace of joy flashed past his eyes, but he was sensible enough to know that he shouldn’t dwell on it.
He quickly changed the topic.
“Why don’t you head back first? Don’t want the kids to wake up without you there.”
Su Xiaonai didn’t expect Ji Anren to be so considerate. She smiled, but she was still hesitant.
“Do you really not need me here?”
Ji Anren shook his head.
“I’m a grown man. I can handle it alone. You should go back.”
Su Xiaonai didn’t insist. She bade Ji Anren farewell and got into a taxi to her house.
She changed her shoes at the entryway. She only let out a long sigh of relief after putting on her fuzzy slippers.
Exhausted, she went to the bathroom and washed up. Before returning to the bedroom, she did not forget to take a look at the two children’s rooms.
Seeing that Su Mubei and Su Mubai were sleeping soundly, she stopped worrying and returned to her room.
As soon as she got into bed, fatigue spread throughout her body and she soon fell asleep.
On Saturday, Su Xiaonai woke up early and went to the market for pork legs. She wanted to make some bone soup for Ji Anren.
As her compensation.
Thankfully, Su Xiaonai arrived early and bought the last pork leg bone. When she got home, she saw that the two children were already up.
They were munching on sweet potato corn.
When Su Mubai saw Su Xiaonai, she handed her a sweet potato. Su Xiaonai took it and smiled.
Joy filled her face.
“Thanks. You guys eat too.”
Su Xiaonai placed the shopping bags in the kitchen and started peeling the sweet potatoes. After the skin was removed, she blew on the piping hot sweet potatoes.
When it was almost room temperature, she took a bite.
It was so soft and sweet.
Su Xiaonai made a mental note to get this type of sweet potato next time as well. It was so delicious.
After a simple breakfast, Su Xiaonai put on an apron and washed the pork leg bone clean. Then, she poured cold water into the pot, added some seasoning wine and ginger, blanched it, and boiled the blood out of the pork bone. Meat foam floated up. When it was almost done, she took out the pork leg bone with a ladle.
She washed it with water.
Then, she put the pork leg into the pressure cooker and prepared the vegetables.
She washed the carrots and corn clean, then cut them into pieces and placed them in the pressure cooker as well. She didn’t forget to cut two to three pieces of ginger and put them in to get rid of the smell of raw meat.
Then, Su Xiaonai opened an app on her phone, set up cooking mode and the timer, and the pressure cooker started working.
Fifty minutes later, the bone soup with corn and carrot was ready. Su Xiaonai carefully let the air out before opening the lid.
The smell was tempting.
Su Mubai also smelled it and hurried to the kitchen.
“Mommy, what are you making?”
Su Xiaonai added some salt to the soup and turned around to reply.
“Bone soup with corn and carrot.”
Su Mubai’s mouth watered.
“Can I try some?”
Su Xiaonai pinched Su Mubai’s nose and teased her.
“You’re such a glutton of a child.”
Su Mubai stuck out her tongue mischievously. Helpless, Su Xiaonai washed her hands and scooped out a bowl of soup for the gluttonous child.
Su Mubai looked at the bowl of soup in front of her and was about to drink it.
Su Xiaonai stopped her immediately.
“Be careful, it’s hot!”
With this reminder from her mother, Su Mubai finally noticed that the soup was steaming hot. If she had drunk it just now, she would have been cooked.
The soup was too tempting.
Su Xiaonai asked when she saw Su Mubei walking over.
“Mubei, do you want some soup?”
Su Mubei sat on a chair, set his hands upright and nodded sincerely.
“Yes, Mommy.”
Su Xiaonai quickly scooped out another bowl of soup for Su Mubei and put the rest in a thermos lunch box.
Seeing this, Su Mubei was a little confused.
“Mommy, is that for Godmother?”
Su Xiaonai shook her head.
“It’s for a mister.”
Hearing this, her eyes lit up and she started gossiping.
“Is it for Mr. Qi?”
Su Xiaonai’s head hurt when she heard the name ‘Qi’, and she quickly denied it.
“No, it’s our neighbor upstairs, Mr. Ji Anren.”
Su Mubai’s eyes darted around and finally remembered who Ji Anren was. After all, they met in the elevator almost every day.
Su Xiaonai left with the thermos lunch box. Before she left, she reminded the two children to be careful and wait for her to return.
She arrived on the 21st floor. Su Xiaonai reached out and knocked lightly on the door. A few seconds later, the door opened. Ji Anren seemed to have been sleeping, his hair a little messy.
Su Xiaonai found Ji Anren’s appearance hilarious, but she kept her composure.
She held up the thermos lunch box.
“I made bone soup for your recovery.”
Ji Anren blinked in a daze and took Su Xiaonai’s thermos. He smiled faintly and beckoned Su Xiaonai in.
How could he leave his guest standing outside?
Su Xiaonai skipped the formality and walked straight in.
Ji Anren placed the bone soup on the dining table and rushed to the bathroom. After washing up briefly and quickly brushing his hair, he walked out.
He poured a glass of water for Su Xiaonai, who accepted it with a smile.
The two of them started talking. Ji Anren was very grateful that Su Xiaonai still remembered him and had even made soup for him.
To express his gratitude, he said that he could teach Su Mubei and Su Mubai how to use computers.

When Su Xiaonai heard this, she agreed, and they set the time to this afternoon.
Time passed by quickly, and it was lunchtime. Su Xiaonai got up to say goodbye to Ji Anren and left.
In the afternoon, after Ji Anren finished his lunch and tried to pick out his outfits as if he was going on a date. In the end, he chose a simpler outfit that did not seem too intentional.
After reaching the 20th floor, Su Xiaonai opened the door and let him in.
The moment Ji Anren entered, he saw that other than the two children, there was also an old lady, who wore an unfriendly expression..
