Ye Qianqian’s smile deepened. She replied, “I am indeed happy, Grandfather.”

Ye Zhenhua witnessed the exchange but didn’t say anything. He shuffled his way into the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Ye Qianqian had no idea what Shen Zhilie was doing outside. She headed out to find him but couldn’t.
Eventually, Shen Zhilie reappeared on his own. In his hand was a bag.
The bag was black. It seemed to be one of Ye Qianqian’s.
“What is this?” she asked.
“Something.”
“Doesn’t that go without saying?” Ye Qianqian rolled her eyes in exasperation. She reached into it. Her hand emerged with a passport.
She continued rummaging through the bag but couldn’t find anything else. Shen Zhilie nudged her off and said, “Stop digging through it. Shouldn’t you be helping your father in the kitchen?”
“I’m not going to help him in the kitchen. You should go instead.”
“You lazy woman.” Shen Zhilie shoved the bag into her arms and turn to head into the kitchen.
She made a monkey face at him behind his back before taking the bag into her room to search it.
She found a whole stack of documents that consisted of miscellaneous certificates.
Some of their names were too obscure, and some Ye Qianqian could read.
With no other option, she shoved that all back into the bag and laid on the bed to play with her cell phone.
She went on Google and found a bunch of tourist guides regarding Venice. They included all the information ranging from accommodations to attractions. Ye Qianqian searched through them thoroughly.
While Ye Qianqian was still engrossed with her phone, Ye Zhenhua was done preparing dinner.
When she emerged, she saw an apron tied around Shen Zhilie’s waist. Ye Zhenhua was only responsible for bringing the food out of the kitchen.
An ominous feeling came over Ye Qianqian when she saw that. She said, “Please don’t tell me that tonight’s dinner was prepared by Shen Zhilie!”
Ye Zhenhua smiled. He was full of praise for Shen Zhilie when he heard that. “You have nothing to complain about! This young boyfriend of yours can cook pretty well! It smells so good! Just from the looks of the dish alone, I can tell it’s going to taste a lot better than my cooking!”
“No matter how tasty it is, I can’t eat it every day!” Ye Qianqian pulled a long face. She kept her phone and walked up. When she took a closer look at the food, her spirits rose. She exclaimed, “These few dishes must have been cooked by you, Dad.”
Ye Zhenhua nodded his head. “Indeed. You can tell!”
“Of course!” Ye Qianqian was about to sit as she spoke. Shen Zhilie quickly stopped her and said, “Wash your hands.”
Ye Qianqian pouted her lips in annoyance but headed into the kitchen, nonetheless.
She washed her hands. When she came back to the dining table, she realized that Shen Zhilie had given this meal his all.
The taste and appearance of the food was a lot better than usual.
Ye Qianqian noticed the difference and glanced at Shen Zhilie.
Shen Zhilie raised his eyebrows triumphantly and asked, “How does it taste?”
“Not too bad at all.” Ye Qianqian’s absence had evidently done him some good. “We can have a variety from now on.”
“Sure!”
Ye Zhenhua narrowed his eyes at them and chuckled before starting a conversation with Shen Zhilie.
The conversation soon meandered its way onto the topic of Chiang Kai-Shek during the era of the Republic of China.
Ye Qianqian was bored out of her wits. When they were done with dinner, she chased them from the table and proceeded to wash the dishes
Before she knew it, two hours had passed. The two men were still deep in conversation.
Ye Qianqian took a shower and headed into the bedroom to use her phone. She ended up watching television
Time flew by without her knowledge. It was only around 1 a.m. that she began to feel tired.
She got out of bed and headed out, only to see that it was all dark outside.
Softly, she made her way outside and saw a tiny glow by the side of the couch. It was a mosquito coil.
“Not sleeping yet?”
