"Qin Yongping, you really are my great benefactor! If you hadn't stepped in to save me before, my mother would have been in grave danger. And now you've been so generous as to give my parents such precious pills—I truly don't know how to repay this kindness." Zhu Miaoyin wore an expression of deep gratitude, her eyes sparkling with sincerity and emotion.
Qin Yongping smiled faintly, gently waving a hand as he said, "You're exaggerating, Miaoyin. It was merely a slight effort, nothing worth mentioning. Being able to help your mother and uncle is my honor." His tone was modest and warm, making anyone who heard him feel as though they were basking in a spring breeze.
With that, the group chatted a bit longer. Time slipped away unawares. Glancing out the window at the setting sun sinking toward the horizon, Zhu Miaoyin suddenly cried out in surprise, "Oh goodness, it's almost seven! I need to hurry and get dinner started." With that, she sprang up and made to head toward the kitchen.
