Know When to Stop

After deciding to stay in Beijing and wait for the results, Su Xiaoxiao and Jiang Yexun stayed at the Zhang family's home and didn't venture out much. The main reason was that they knew the National Security Office would be thoroughly investigating Peng Huijing, and neither of them wanted to cause any distractions at this sensitive moment.

For the past few days, the three members of the Zhang family had stayed at home as well. Grandpa Zhang even skipped his usual morning routine of going to the courtyard to play chess. Instead, they all sat together, chatted, and listened to the radio.

Back in their room, Su Xiaoxiao would enter the space to brew the ingredients for Whitening Pills and Moisture Pills. After the medicine cooled down and lost its odor, she would bring it out and make the pills with Jiang Yexun. They spent the next three days in this routine.
