The day after

When Shao Yan walked out of the bedroom about two hours later, she saw that Li Xiqing had prepared breakfast for her.

A paper was placed on top of the dining table.

'Grandma called this morning, give her a call back. If you are going out, try to at least eat something first. I will be back before dinner.'

She placed the paper back after reading it two more times.

Shao Yan saw that Li Xiqing had cooked some porridge with minced pork, with boiled eggs on the side. She walked to the kitchen, carrying the bowl of porridge with her and placed it inside the microwave and reheated it.

While waiting, she fished out her mobile phone from her pocket and looked for Grandma's phone number.

"En? Grandma? This is Yan Yan," she quickly said after she heard the call was picked up at the second ring.

Shao Yan heard Grandma mumble on the other side of the phone, as if she was talking to another person; so Shao Yan decided to wait for her.
