It was raining outside. Li Qin Yao was alone at home when she heard a movement outside. She held a baseball bat in her hand and waited behind the kitchen wall.
The door swung open, and a familiar silhouette showed up.
Li Qin Yao immediately put down the baseball bat behind the wall and walked towards the door. Her eyes flickered with joy as she saw her mother stepped inside the house. Li Qin Yao went to help her mother with the bag on her mother's hand. "Ma! How come you're home early? Didn't you say that you should return tomorrow?"
Her mother, Xu Yilan, handed her daughter the baggage in her hand as she replied, "There was a change in plan." She sat down on the couch with a sigh.
A few minutes later, Li Qin Yao appeared with a glass of water in her hand. Xu Yilan drank her water and let out a satisfied sigh when the glass was empty. She looked at her daughter and thanked her.
