After they finished eating, Barto cleared the table and went to wash the dishes.
Gu Ning, meanwhile, continued with her crafts.
Cook burped, sprawling comfortably beside Gu Ning.
He'd eaten his fill; most of the leftovers had ended up in his stomach.
Barto finished the dishes, mopped the floor, and tidied up the whole room.
Gu Ning wanted to wait for him to finish so they could talk about their situation, but he didn't seem to have a moment's rest.
He usually tidied up the room, but today he seemed much busier. And during dinner, Barto had barely said a few words to her, remaining very quiet.
'Is he not feeling well, so he's in a bad mood?'
After tidying the room, Barto brought the large bag of clothes they had gotten from the mall yesterday over to Gu Ning.
He then fetched a pair of Gu Ning's shorts, compared them to a new pair, and took a needle and thread from her sewing box to alter the size.
