Shen Xian hadn't been back to school in a long time, and this time returning to give a lecture, she actually felt a great deal of pressure, having suffered from insomnia until late into the previous night before finally finding sleep.
The next morning, she was up early as well.
This old house where she lived alone had finally taken on some sense of home in the past few days.
When she left her bedroom, she saw her dad watering flowers on the balcony and her mom preparing breakfast for the family in the kitchen, which filled her heart with a surge of warmth.
She didn't even bother to freshen up, instead sitting on the sofa watching her dad water the plants, listening to the sounds coming from the kitchen, feeling incredibly grounded.
Soon, Qu Hui brought out a plate of freshly fried pancakes.
Seeing Shen Xian sitting on the sofa with her hair disheveled, her eyes bleary, and yawning endlessly, she quickly put down the plate she was carrying and dragged her towards the restroom.
