Simple Happiness

Lu Zhaoyang had prepared millet gruel with pumpkin and jujube. She heard footsteps behind her and spoke without looking back, "It's your turn to try my cooking."

Huo Chen slowly walked towards her and noticed the dark circles around her eyes.

"Did you have a restless night?"

"I need time to get used to the new place. I couldn't sleep well, so I woke up earlier." She forced a smile on her face and replied with affected ease.

The golden millet sprinkled with red jujube was served in two bowls. They smelled wonderful.

She took the bowls to the dining table and said, "Please forgive me if it doesn't taste nice."

Huo Chen followed suit, bringing an egg dish with him. "You're doing fine. This is a typical breakfast in Z Country."

Huo Chen seemed to be focused on his breakfast, but he was constantly casting quick glances at her face.

What was he to do if her inability to sleep well persisted?
