A peaceful night of good dreams.
As dawn slightly brightened the sky, a faint aroma of pancakes drifted through the air, and Ye Li opened her eyes to the familiar large bed and the familiar room, momentarily feeling as if she had returned to the past.
Without bothering to wash up, Ye Li dashed out of her room, only to stop despondently at the railing.
The television in the living room was off.
Her father, who should have been seated on the sofa watching the morning news, was nowhere to be seen.
The house was still the same house.
But she could never return to the past, to the home where her father was still present.
Standing alone for a long while before snapping back to reality, Ye Li turned back to her room, washed up, changed her clothes, and went downstairs to have breakfast with Li Xueqing and Aunt Lan.
After breakfast, the Ye Family's driver arrived and Ye Li said goodbye to the two before returning to school.
