05:20 in the early morning, Qingran and Xie Ying'an got up early and went out to prepare for a morning run.
Just as they opened the courtyard gate, they ran into Aunt Liu, who was coming to make breakfast.
Aunt Liu was carrying a bamboo basket filled with freshly bought vegetables; she went to the morning market to buy groceries early every day.
Xie Ying'an was used to seeing Aunt Liu in the early morning and he casually greeted her: "Good morning, Aunt Liu."
Aunt Liu chuckled: "Good morning Xiao Xie, your habit of exercising daily is really..."
While talking, Xie Ying'an stepped aside to make way for Aunt Liu, which also allowed her to see Qingran behind him.
When Aunt Liu suddenly saw Qingran preparing to leave with Xie Ying'an, she paused mid-sentence and forgot what she was about to say, her face showing a look of surprise.
