After watching her take a sip of tea, the boy silently turned around and ran up the stairs, which got Meng Qingxue all baffled. She placed the teacup on the table and turned toward the boy's mother, asking out of curiosity, "He's so obedient that he'll go to bed himself?"
"Nah," answered the other dismissively. "I don't even know where he gets all his energy from. He always gets restless at night, so I have to coax him to sleep."
"Then… what is he doing now?"
Chu He glanced at the stairway, then smiled warmly at her guest. "He's probably tidying up the room for you!"
"Tidying up the room?"
"Yep! We have a guest room upstairs that we don't usually use. He must've guessed that you'll be staying in that room, so he's likely sweeping and mopping the floor of that room now."
That left her even more speechless. "He knows how to do housework already?"
"Yeah. Though his work isn't particularly clean, he shows great enthusiasm for it."
