Seeing the sweet and sour pork ribs, Song Yan Ning’s eyes reddened, and she almost couldn’t control the tears from falling.
"Been a long ti since I’ve cooked this. Not sure how it tastes, whether it suits your palate," Li ixiang smiled and took a seat beside her. Picking up the chopsticks, she placed a piece of sweet and sour pork rib into Song Yan Ning’s bowl. "Here, give it a try."
Song Yan Ning nodded, picked up the sweet and sour pork rib from her bowl and put it into her mouth. Tasting that familiar flavor, tears no longer in control, slipped down like pearls breaking free from a string.
Seeing Song Yan Ning crying, Li ixiang and Yang Lisheng exchanged glances.
"Why are you crying?" Li ixiang felt a bit of sorrow in her heart.
Song Yan Ning shook her head and reached out to wipe the tears from her face. "I’m fine. It just made think of my grandma. She used to cook sweet and sour pork ribs for often."
"You can co over to my house anyti you want to eat, I’ll cook it for you," Li ixiang said with a smile. Song Yan Ning gave her a familiar feeling, and she liked her a lot, and saw her often.
"Mm," Song Yan Ning nodded, "Grandma Yang, your sweet and sour pork ribs are really delicious." She probably wouldn’t be able to taste them again after this ti.
"If you like it, eat more," Li ixiang said, smiling as she served several more pieces of sweet and sour pork ribs onto Song Yan Ning’s bowl.
Song Yan Ning didn’t disappoint Li ixiang, eating contentedly, as if the sweet and sour pork ribs were the most delicious food in the world.
Ti slipped away unnoticed. Although she didn’t want to part, Song Yan Ning had to leave. She was already content to have been able to return and see her grandparents once more.
"Xiang, we’re leaving now. Take good care of grandma and grandpa, here are your cultivation resources for the future." Song Yan Ning quietly handed a Storage Ring to Xiang. With the elixir she had left behind, her grandparents could live another sixty years without a problem, and by that ti, Xiang would be free.
"Master, I will," Xiang nodded firmly, watching Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen slowly walk away.
On the bustling streets of Beijing, Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen walked slowly through the crowd.
A family of three approached them, with a cute little boy, about five or six years old, in the middle, holding a balloon in his hand.
"Daddy, Mommy, I want to go to the zoo again tomorrow to see the big lions and big tigers."
The woman smiled lightly, looking at the little boy she was holding hands with, "Ruoruo, which animal do you like the most?"
The little boy looked up and thought for a mont, "I like the big pandas the most, and also monkeys, peacocks... and more..."
The man laughed heartily, ruffling the little boy’s hair. "Are you hungry? How about Mommy and Daddy take you to eat pizza?"
"Yes!" The little boy cheered happily.
The three of them passed by Song Yan Ning and the others.
The woman suddenly stopped, turned her head, and gazed at the backs of Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen.
"What are you looking at?" The man also stopped and turned his head to follow the woman’s gaze.
"Ye Qi, do you feel that the people we just passed by look familiar?" Song Yanli scrutinized the retreating figures of Song Yan Ning and Qin Yu. She felt like she had seen them sowhere before, but couldn’t recall where.
Ye Qi nodded, looking at the backs of Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen as they walked away, "I thought it was just feeling that way; didn’t expect you to feel the sa." When they were passing the young couple, he felt as if he had seen them sowhere before, but he searched his mory and found no trace of them.
