“Oh, Rick, you’re here . Honey, why didn’t you tell me earlier? I didn’t prepare anything!” Huo Mian said in a surprised tone .
“He can eat whatever we have at home . Rick’s in a rush . He’s leaving in his helicopter in two hours…”
“Two hours… Why the rush?” Huo Mian said in astonishment .
Rick nodded . Then, he took off his black coat and sat silently at the dinner table .
When he saw the four dishes on the table, Rick smiled and said, “Huo Mian, did you make all these?”
“Yeah . You don’t believe me?” Huo Mian joked .
“No, I believe you . Qin Chu said your cooking skills were impressive . I can tell my stomach will be very satisfied tonight…” Rick was very casual in front of them .
Huo Mian, however, felt a bit awkward seeing Rick .

“It’s such a shame Pudding and Little Bean aren’t home…”
“Yeah, you can save on their Chinese New Year presents…” Qin Chu joked .
“You’re putting it like I’m lacking money…”
“Hm…” Huo Mian was surprised to see Rick joke around .
“You two can dig in first . I’m going to get the soup…”
“It’s alright . Huo Mian, sit down and relax…”
“It’s alright . It’s not that much work . I’ll be right back . ”
Then, Huo Mian quickly rushed into the kitchen .

She was using the soup as an excuse to call Xixi .
When Huo Mian picked up her phone to dial Xixi’s number, someone stopped her from behind .
She turned back in shock .
“You scared me to death!” Huo Mian was a bit relieved to see Qin Chu as she was scared Rick would find out about her plan .
“Are you planning to call Xixi?” Qin Chu asked Huo Mian with a complicated look on his face .
“Yeah . Didn’t you promise me that day to help them see each other for one last time?” Huo Mian nodded .
“When Rick and I were coming home, he begged me multiple times not to create an opportunity for them to see each other… I don’t want to lose this friend…”
“Why did he say that?” Huo Mian was confused .

“I’m not sure . I just think Rick is pretty against it . Since he doesn’t want to see Xixi, I don’t think we should try to force it… Even though I promised you to help, Rick would still be unhappy if he found out what we were up too… We shouldn’t alter fate…” Qin Chu tried to persuade Huo Mian .
“But what about Xixi?” Huo Mian pitied Xixi .
She was not able to let go and now she couldn’t even see Rick for the last time?
“Honey… It’s fate . Some people are meant to be together while some are only passersby… We shouldn’t force Rick . Even if they were to see each other, nothing would change . Maybe Xixi would be hurt even more… Why don’t we just go with the flow?” Qin Chu knew Huo Mian was a thoughtful person so she would know when to stop .
He didn’t need to say any deep principles because Huo Mian understood what he meant .
She hesitated for a bit, but in the end, she nodded and put down her phone .
“Honey, I understand . Let me make a soup so we can have dinner . ”
“Okay . ” Qin Chu nodded .
Huo Mian quickly made a seaweed and egg soup .
Since it was Chinese New Year and all the servants went home, Huo Mian had to do everything by herself .
It had been a long time since the three could sit together and eat peacefully .
They were chatting during dinner . Suddenly, Huo Mian asked, “Rick, how often do you eat Chinese food in the States?”
