Before she knew it, Yan Bingxue had been video chatting with Gu Yuxin until noon.
A series of knocks sounded at Yan Bingxue's door. Yan Bingxue set down her phone, got up, and slowly shuffled to the door to open it.
"Bing Xue, is your foot feeling better? I made lunch. Since it's inconvenient for you to walk, I brought it up for you," Lin Xiu asked Yan Bingxue concernedly from outside the door.
"Thank you for worrying about me, Mom. My foot doesn't hurt anymore right now. I just can't put much pressure on it when I walk. It should be fine by tomorrow," Yan Bingxue said gratefully as she accepted the meal Lin Xiu had brought.
"Good, as long as it doesn't hurt. Be more careful where you step from now on. I made your favorite sweet-and-sour pork today, so eat it while it's hot. Call me if you need anything. I'll be in the living room," Lin Xiu gently reminded her.
"Okay, I'll be more careful in the future. Mom, you should go eat lunch too. Don't keep Dad and the others waiting too long," Yan Bingxue said obediently, nodding.
"Mm, I'm going downstairs to eat. Get some proper rest," Lin Xiu said before heading toward the stairs.
At the Dragon Science Institute, Su Chen finished up his work and raised his wrist to check the time. He remembered that his wife was still recuperating at home and wondered how she was doing.
Su Chen picked up the phone beside him and sent Yan Bingxue a WeChat video call.

"Wife, is your foot okay? Can you walk on it?" Su Chen asked Yan Bingxue with a concerned expression.
"Hubby, my foot is fine.
