CHAPTER 602: CHAPTER 602: WHO WASN’T LIKE THAT BACK THEN?

The next day.

Early in the morning, Jiang Ye was the first to wake up, not having the heart to disturb the woman sleeping beside him. He got out of bed as lightly and carefully as he could.

When he left the master bedroom, by chance, the door next door opened too.

Jiang Yuan was bleary-eyed. If it weren’t for her nine o’clock class this morning, she wouldn’t have gotten up this early.

But who knew she’d see a demon upon opening her door?

"Bro, good morning," she said.

"Hmm."

Big brother, she’s your very own sister!

Do you have to be so cold?

Jiang Yuan was suddenly wide awake, speechless.

But Jiang Ye was utterly unaware of this sentiment, and he went to the kitchen, poured a glass of water, and gulped it down.

Coming back out, he didn’t even check his sister’s reaction:

"If your sister-in-law wakes up, tell her I’ve gone down to exercise."

"Oh, okay."

....

Lu Jing had a rare lie-in that morning and had no idea when her man had left. When she opened her eyes, it was already seven-fifty.

Normally at this time, she would already be at the hospital’s department.

She lay there for a moment to gather herself, then sat up, got out of bed, and went to the door.

"Sister-in-law, you’re awake? Come and have breakfast!"

Breakfast?

She was in for quite a surprise.

"Xiao Yuan, did you make breakfast?"

There was no shortage of food on the dining table: porridge, fried dumplings, and steamed buns.

Jiang Yuan giggled:

"I saw some frozen stuff in the fridge, so I made a bit of everything. Come and try some, sister-in-law."

"I’ve got to try it, just let me wash up and I’ll be right there."

"Mmm-hmm, okay."

Lu Jing then turned and entered the bathroom to wash up.

She was quick, and in no time at all, she was wiping her hands on a paper towel as she stepped out.

"Sister-in-law, I served you some porridge."

"Wow, thank you, Xiao Yuan."

Having a hot breakfast ready first thing in the morning was truly satisfying.

And it even tasted good.

"When did you learn to cook?" she asked.

"I’ve always known how to cook. I learned from Auntie when I was a kid."

Not bad at all, this girl was really something.

"You have a class this morning, right?"

"Yes, that’s right."

"Eat up, then. After you finish, I’ll drive you to school."

Really?

"Are you serious?"

"Why not?"

"Thank you, sister-in-law, you’re the best!"

Lu Jing couldn’t stop smiling:

"All right, consider it a thanks for the breakfast."

These were the words, but no one really kept count in their heart.

After hastily finishing their breakfast, there were barely twenty minutes left before class started.

They rushed downstairs:

"Sister-in-law, your bag."

"Hold on to it for now."

Lu Jing answered while opening the car door and starting the engine:

"Get in."

"Oh, okay."

With swift movements, she finally drove away from the fire brigade station.

Checking the time, they had only about fifteen or sixteen minutes left.

"Sister-in-law, will we be late? Today’s lecturer is really strict."

Lu Jing focused for two seconds:

"We won’t be late, don’t worry. Is your seatbelt fastened?"

"Yes, it’s fastened."

"Okay, then I’m going to speed up."

The speed, which had been twenty or thirty miles per hour, was now upped to sixty.

Fortunately, there was no traffic jam along the way, and they waited at only two or three red lights.

When the car stopped at the school gate, there were less than two minutes before class.

Jiang Yuan hurriedly got out of the car:

"Sister-in-law, I’m going in first."

"Go ahead, but take it slow."

Before she could finish, Jiang Yuan was already dashing through the school gates.

She would definitely have to sprint into the classroom to make sure she wasn’t late.

However, such scenes had not been seen for many years. Back in the day, who hadn’t gone through it?

For a moment, she was filled with deep nostalgia.
