With Yue Ling's help, Yu Xia managed to escape her brother's "clutches" and hurried back to her single apartment.
There was an hour left before Xie Qingci returned, so with nothing else to do, she tidied up the house a bit and then went to the neighborhood's fresh supermarket to buy some groceries. She planned to make some hometown dishes for someone who had been away from home for a month and a half, as a sort of welcome home ceremony.
However, she got too carried away in the supermarket and bought too many things. When she ran into Yuan Wang out for a stroll, she asked him for help but ended up getting a package of frozen stuffed buns.
After a lot of effort carrying them back home, she had no desire to cook anymore. She finally found a packet of colorful butterfly pasta from the cabinet, intending to use it to make do for Xie Qingci.
