Two hours later, the alarm clock rang on time.
Yunyi was one step ahead of Huo Jingrui to the kitchen. She cheated a bit by taking out a pot of homemade Eight-Treasure Porridge she had previously prepared and stored in her spatial warehouse.
She added water, lit the fire, placed it on the steamer, and also put two boiled eggs and ten mixed-flour buns in to steam together.
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to bring out some stewed dishes. However, Huo Jingrui had cooked in the kitchen yesterday. If there had been any meat dishes, he would likely have smelled them by now.
When Huo Jingrui came over, Yunyi was already cutting potatoes. "What are you busy with?" he asked.
Yunyi replied, "We have some mixed-flour buns left from before. I’ll just whip up a quick dish. Have some before you leave. You’re probably going to be busy today, and it’s better to work on a full stomach."
She said that, but she was actually worried that once he left the courtyard, he wouldn’t have time to eat again.
Huo Jingrui glanced at his watch. "No need. It’s almost time to gather."
Yunyi had no choice but to stop what she was doing. "Alright, then I won’t cook. I’ll just bring over some of the pickles and preserved vegetables we made earlier. Just have a quick bite with them; who knows how long you’ll be busy once you leave."
Feeling warmed by Yunyi’s words, Huo Jingrui said, "Okay, I’ll go wash my face."
He had been busy all night and hadn’t had a chance to clean up. He was grateful Yunyi didn’t mind his appearance.
While Huo Jingrui went to tidy up, Yunyi quickly prepared some pickles and preserved vegetables.
By the time Huo Jingrui came out, Yunyi was ready and pointed to the items on the stove. "Hurry, take this food and go eat. Don’t wait for me; I’ll get you some porridge."
He had only nibbled a little that morning and was actually quite hungry now. Thinking of the situation he was about to face, he knew Yunyi was right. "Then, thank you, Yiyi."

Huo Jingrui didn’t refuse. He knew this young woman didn’t lack these things, and there was no need to be overly polite with his own partner. Once he sorted out the current business, he planned to hand over all his assets to her, to spend as she pleased.
