The mother and daughter carried the meticulously prepared dishes to the dining table in the living room.
Cold beef salad,山药炖排骨, steamed chicken, braised crucian carp, boiled prawns…
A full ten dishes plus a soup.
The small square table was packed to the brim.
Song Qinghuan’s eyes lit up. “Auntie, you’re too kind. Such a feast.”
Lin Mo even took out a bottle of red wine from the cabinet, smiling as she said, “We’re happy today. Let’s all have a little, to liven things up.”
But the moment Lin Shishi heard “red wine,” her face flushed crimson as if she’d thought of something.
She subconsciously touched her bottom.
Her gaze darted nervously toward Song Qinghuan.
Catching her look, Song Qinghuan immediately understood.
“Where did your mind go?”
Song Qinghuan lowered her voice, grinning mischievously.
“…”
Lin Shishi’s whole body trembled. She shot Song Qinghuan a look that was both shy and annoyed.
Clearly… this was a certain scene from *Qinghuan Torments Shi*…
Only the two of them remembered it vividly…
Lin Mo came over with the wine glasses and happened to see them whispering. She smiled and asked, “What secrets are you two muttering about?”
Song Qinghuan didn’t bat an eye. She sat up straight, took the glass, and gave a composed smile. “Nothing, Auntie. I was just saying that Shishi seems to have a low tolerance for alcohol, but a little might help her sleep. I was thinking, before bed tonight, we could have another small drink to sleep more soundly.”
As she spoke, she cast a meaningful sidelong glance at Lin Shishi.
Lin Mo nodded and didn’t press further. “That’s nice. A little red wine in moderation is good for you.”
But Lin Shishi let out an “Ah!”…
As if shocked by electricity…
“Shishi, are you okay?” Lin Mo was startled, clearly not understanding what was going on with her daughter.
“I’m… I’m fine.” The girl bit her lip, her face flushed, but her mind was elsewhere…
Lin Mo looked at the sly Song Qinghuan, then at Lin Shishi, and apparently figured the two girls were up to their usual antics.
Still, young people…
They always loved to be lively and active.
Lin Mo just smiled.
****
The three of them enjoyed the meal immensely.
Lin Shishi hadn’t eaten so many of her mother’s signature dishes in a long time.
The girl’s appetite was huge, and she ate until her little belly was slightly rounded. She squinted in satisfaction—even forgetting her earlier embarrassment.
Song Qinghuan didn’t hold back either. She savored every dish and showered them with praise. “Auntie, your cooking is amazing. It’s a shame you don’t run a restaurant. Honestly, I want to apprentice under you.”
Lin Mo was flattered, letting out a laugh. “Oh, you. Forget it. You’re going to be the ‘husband’ in the future. These household chores are for Shishi, the ‘wife,’ to worry about. Just sit back and enjoy the meals.”
She said this naturally and frankly, clearly having accepted the relationship and their respective roles.
Lin Shishi pouted, seeming a bit unconvinced. But when she saw Song Qinghuan smiling at her, those eyes clearly conveying two words—“just wait”—she immediately wilted.

After lunch, Lin Mo continued to rest in her room.
The afternoon sunlight streamed through the clean windows, falling warmly on her legs under the thin blanket.
“Shishi, Qinghuan, you young people must get bored staying indoors all day. The weather is lovely today, and the Blue Mountain scenery is nice. Why don’t you two go for a stroll?” Seeing that Song Qinghuan was a bit bored, Lin Mo suggested.
Lin Shishi immediately turned her head, her big eyes shining with anticipation as she looked at Song Qinghuan. “Mas— Qinghuan, do you want to go hiking?”
“Sure,” Song Qinghuan replied readily, the corners of her lips curving into a bright smile.
“But,”
A hint of slyness flickered in her eyes. “You have to bring the diary along.”
“Ah.”
Lin Shishi let out a short, startled cry, and two red clouds instantly bloomed on her cheeks.
Lin Mo looked at her daughter’s suddenly crimson face, puzzled. “A diary? What do you need a diary for when hiking?”
Song Qinghuan smiled innocently. “Auntie, Shishi has a habit of writing travel notes. Recording the beautiful scenery she sees—that’s so meaningful.”
As she spoke, she reached out and ruffled Lin Shishi’s hair, her gesture intimate and natural.
Lin Shishi could only lower her head further and mumble a vague “Mm.”
“I’ll get things ready—” Song Qinghuan stopped teasing her and stood up to prepare.
From her canvas bag, she took out two bottles of water, some individually wrapped cookies, and fruit—all with brisk movements.
At the same time, using her body as a shield, she quietly pulled out a few small items from the bag and quickly slipped them into her pocket.
As for clothes, Lin Shishi ultimately didn’t change out of her skirt. She only took off her stockings, revealing a pair of smooth, slender calves and delicate ankles.
The girl’s small feet were clad in a pair of light pink sneakers with low tops, making her ankles look even more elegant.
Song Qinghuan, on the other hand, changed into a tank top and jeans, tying her long hair into a high ponytail at the back of her head.
“We’re heading out, Auntie.” Song Qinghuan linked her arm with Lin Shishi’s and smiled at Lin Mo.
“Be careful and come back early,” Lin Mo reminded.
“Got it, Mom,” Lin Shishi replied weakly.
The sun was indeed very bright today—
As they stepped out of the house, a wave of heat hit them.
Lin Shishi squinted instinctively, raising a hand to shield her forehead.
The sunlight poured onto her, making her goose-yellow dress appear especially vibrant, setting off her exposed skin, which was dazzlingly white.
Beneath the short skirt, the lines of the girl’s calves were smooth and graceful, extending all the way into those pink sneakers, revealing only a sliver of fair instep.
Song Qinghuan squinted slightly as well, adjusting to the light.
The girl’s denim shorts hugged her perky bottom, and her legs were straight and slender, full of healthy, energetic beauty.
She tightened her arm around Lin Shishi’s, and the two walked side by side along the path leading to the hill behind the town.
Two girls—each with a distinct style yet equally stunning—instantly became the most eye-catching sight on the town’s afternoon streets.
Passersby, whether housewives carrying shopping bags or young girls strolling around, couldn’t help but be drawn to them.
“That one with the twin ponytails is Shishi, right? Lin Mo’s daughter? She’s really blossomed—so pretty now.”
“Who’s the tall girl next to her? Never seen her before. She’s beautiful too.”
“They look so good together walking arm in arm.”
“Looks like that delicate flower next door is about to be taken away.”
Whispers and curious gazes came from all directions.
At first, Lin Shishi felt a bit uncomfortable, her cheeks slightly red.
But as they walked, she noticed that Song Qinghuan remained completely composed, even nodding politely at some townsfolk who offered friendly looks.
Influenced by her, Lin Shishi gradually relaxed, straightening her back a little.
Though the blush on her face hadn’t faded, she no longer seemed as eager to hide herself as before.
Song Qinghuan observed the change and leaned close to her ear, her warm breath brushing against the sensitive concha. “My little pet, you’ve made quite some progress. Facing others’ stares doesn’t make you blush that easily anymore?”
