Chapter 468: Come Back, Child
Chapter 468: Come Back, Child
Today, Lizhen is as fresh and charming as a flower blooming in the morning.
She was wearing a royal blue suit, the color of which was as charming and mysterious as the deep ocean.
However, despite having just experienced the ruthless torture of a serious illness, Lizhen still exudes an unconcealable charm.
Perhaps it was because of God's favor towards her that she was given a naturally beautiful appearance and exquisite facial features.
Even though she looked a little pale and haggard at the moment, it was hard to resist the radiance emanating from her pretty face.
Her eyebrows are like crescent moons, gently stretching above her forehead; her eyes are like bright stars, sparkling with gentle and lively light; under the high nose bridge, her lips are slightly upturned, revealing a touch of stubbornness and strength.
The breeze blew gently, ruffling the hair by her ears, adding a touch of pitiful charm.
Such a Lizhen makes people feel pity for her, and at the same time they are attracted by her innate beauty.
Wang Kun got up in the morning and went to Lizhen's residence to pick her up. When Wang Kun and Lizhen appeared at the door of Wang Kun's house, Lizhen called out softly, "Mom."
The sun shone through the gap in the curtains onto Jinlan's bed. She slowly opened her eyes, her heart full of anticipation and excitement, because today, her long-missed friend Lizhen was coming back!
Jinlan could not wait to get out of the warm bed, moving much faster than usual. After washing up, she hurried into the kitchen, put on an apron, and began to carefully prepare delicious food to welcome Lizhen's return.
In fact, Jinlan had already started to get busy yesterday. She carefully recalled the flavors and dishes that Lizhen liked, made a long list, and then purchased the ingredients one by one. The kitchen was filled with all kinds of fresh vegetables, fruits, meats and seasonings, like a small food warehouse.
At this moment, Jinlan skillfully cuts, washes and cooks vegetables, and she is very careful in every step. Soon, the air is filled with tempting aroma.
The braised pork is bright red in color and exudes a rich aroma of sauce; the sweet and sour spare ribs are sweet and sour, making people salivate; the stir-fried seasonal vegetables are green and tender, looking refreshing and healthy... and the exquisite dim sum and desserts are all Lizhen's favorite.
While Jinlan was busy, she imagined Lizhen's surprised expression when she saw these delicacies, and a happy smile appeared on her lips. Time passed quietly at her fingertips, but she did not feel tired at all, and waited for her friend's return with joy.
When Jinlan learned that Lizhen was about to return home, her heart was instantly filled with joy, as if it was about to overflow.
Unable to suppress her inner anxiety, she paced back and forth in the room like an ant on a hot pan. Then she quickly walked to the door, stood there quietly, stretched her neck, widened her eyes, and stared into the distance intently.
Time passed by minute by minute, and every moment seemed so long to Jinlan.
Finally, a familiar car slowly came into her sight.
As the car got closer, Jinlan's heartbeat became more and more intense. She clenched her hands tightly, and her palms even sweated slightly due to excessive tension.
When the car door opened, Wang Kun got out of the driver's seat first. He smiled and waved to Jin Lan, signaling her to stay calm.
However, how could Jin Lan wait any longer? Her eyes had already passed Wang Kun and were fixed on Li Zhen who got off the car later.
Lizhen got off the car with a smile on her face. At that moment, Jinlan felt that the whole world became brighter. She watched Lizhen walk towards her step by step, tears of excitement flashing in her eyes, and the corners of her mouth rose involuntarily, revealing a big smile.
The joy that came from the heart was like a torrent that swept away all her reserve and restraint, making her completely immersed in it, unable to extricate herself.
When Jinlan heard that Lizhen was coming, she was waiting at the door, looking forward to her arrival. Now she saw Lizhen coming and she was so happy! The following is the expansion based on the information you provided:
At that moment, time seemed to freeze. When the crisp and affectionate "Mom" came out of Lizhen's mouth, she was stunned. This simple word, like the sound of nature, entered her ears, and her heart was instantly filled with joy.
Jinlan's face was filled with a brilliant smile, and her eyes were filled with tears of excitement. For a moment, Jinlan was at a loss, her hands trembling constantly, and she wanted to touch Lizhen's head for a while, and then she wanted to hug Lizhen tightly in her arms.
In the end, she chose to gently hold Lizhen's hand, feeling the warmth and reality.
"My child, you are finally back! I have been looking forward to your coming home day and night, and I finally got the day!" Jinlan said excitedly, tears of joy flashing in her eyes. As she spoke, she stretched out her hands impatiently and held Lizhen's slightly thin little hand tightly, and then she dragged Lizhen towards home without stopping.
Along the way, Jinlan kept asking about her well-being: "Baby, are you doing well out there? Have you suffered any grievances? Tell your mother quickly..." Lizhen snuggled up to her mother obediently, responding softly to her mother's concerned inquiries, with a happy and warm smile on her face.
"Mom, I should have come to see you a long time ago, but due to my busy work and the fact that I was sick and had surgery some time ago, I have been putting it off until now." Lizhen was also very excited.
"Yes, child, let me see you. You have suffered a lot. How are you recovering now?" Jin Lan quickly took Lizhen's hand and looked at her carefully.
"Well... the child does look a lot thinner, but fortunately, his complexion is still good. Come, come home soon!" Jinlan said with concern on her face. Her gentle gaze was always on Lizhen, never moving away for a moment.
It seemed as if this pitiful child in front of me would disappear if I wasn't careful.
As Jinlan spoke, she enthusiastically pulled Lizhen into the house, muttering, "I specially prepared a lot of nutritious food to nourish your body! You must have suffered a lot during this period."
When Lizhen walked into the living room, her eyes were immediately attracted by the piles of fruits on the coffee table.
The fruits are colorful and varied, and each one looks fresh, juicy and mouth-watering.
Especially the plate of strawberries, each one was big and plump, with the red skin dotted with seeds, as if waving to her; and the bunch of green grapes, as green as jade, crystal clear, like a string of emerald beads, exuding an attractive luster.
However, what excited Lizhen the most was the huge plate of large, bright red bayberries.
Each one of them is round and cute, and their colors are as bright as if they had just been picked from the tree.
Looking at the juicy and delicious bayberries, Lizhen felt her taste buds were instantly aroused. She couldn't help swallowing and felt the saliva on both sides of her cheeks begin to secrete rapidly, flowing out like clear mountain spring water.
"My child, I seem to remember these fruits. You like to eat them. Here, this is the bayberry that you especially like." Jinlan immediately held the bright red bayberry in both hands and placed it in front of Lizhen.
"Thank you, Mom, you know I like to eat bayberry." Li Zhen's eyes turned red and tears filled her eyes...
