When Nina woke up, it was already dusk. There were rosy clouds dancing around in the sky.
The North Yard was very quiet and the bedroom was in a deafening silence. Finally, the sound of Nina moving and the quilt slipping to the floor, broke the stillness.
Rubbing her eyes, she felt that the left side of her face was warmer than the other side. She didn't think too much of it and got out of bed.
On the way downstairs, she happened to see Helen cleaning. Strangely, the whole living room was full of clothes.
"Helen, what's all this?"
"Good morning, Mrs. Shi. Do you still have a headache?" Helen turned around and asked with concern. Seeing that Nina was still wearing her old and shabby clothes, Helen said, "Mrs. Shi, Mr. Shi bought these clothes for you. You can change into these and get rid of those old tattered ones."
Nina was a little surprised that John bought her any clothes, let alone this large selection.
She looked through all the clothes and put on a long dress. The hemline of the dress was long enough to touch her ankle and there was a round collar and lovely sleeves. This dress was exactly what she wanted. Then she picked a pair of white fla

In the end, John sent it to James and got a reply. "Uncle John, is this Aunt Nina? That is her profile photo. Don't trouble yourself. She is expressing her love for you. Look at this number. What does 520 mean? Do you know?"
'Expressing her love for me?' A smile appeared on John's face. He could rest easy accepting this answer. As for what 520 meant, he really didn't know. He replied, "I don't know."
"Uncle John, I've told you not let work take over your life, but you don't listen to me. You don't know what girls are thinking these days, do you?
520 means I love you."
As for the disrespect in James' words, John already started thinking of how to punish him. But when he saw the last sentence, he couldn't think of anything else anymore. The sentence "I love you" was the only thing that was on his mind.
Was Nina really expressing her love for him?
The light from his phone screen was put to shame by the happiness that shone from his face.
John couldn't stop staring at the screen.
He took the money and replied to Nina, "I got it and I'll accept it."
She did like him!
He appreciated her initiative.
