The next day, when Lin Chuxia woke up, Qin Yang was already out.
In the kitchen, he left breakfast warming for her with a note telling her to stay well at home, and that he'd return for lunch.
After washing up, Lin Chuxia went to the kitchen to eat and noticed the clothes hanging out in the yard. They must have been washed by Qin Yang early in the morning; it was what he wore yesterday.
Qin Yang had dressed very formally yesterday to accommodate guests from the capital.
Lin Chuxia had paired his white shirt with a black suit.
When he returned, his shirt and pants were wet inside, but the suit jacket was dry. That's why she didn't notice anything off with Qin Yang at first.
Yesterday she was only worried he might catch a cold and didn't really ask him how his clothes got wet.
She decided to ask about it at lunch.
After breakfast, Lin Chuxia tidied up the house, but her heart still felt empty.
