Seeing Qin Huai and Qu Jing come into the kitchen together, Dean Qu's worried expression finally disappeared. While making buns, she quietly observed Qu Jing.
Qu Jing was wearing a mask and gave Dean Qu a slight smile. The part of her face not covered by the mask showed almost no change, only her eyes crinkled slightly.
Dean Qu, with great understanding, picked up on Qu Jing's smile and continued to make buns, completely at ease.
Among all those present, only Qin Huai noticed the silent exchange between the two, while no one else was aware.
A staff member next to Dean Qu was surprised and asked, "Hey, when did Jingjing arrive?"
"She just got here. She found out that Master Qin and Master Xiao Zheng would be volunteering at the orphanage today and, worried we might be understaffed, took a few hours off just to come over," said Dean Qu.
