For Gu Zi, mornings had a comforting routine. She would begin her day with a warm bowl of milk and bird's nest soup, a nourishing treat that brightened her complexion and revitalized her spirit.
Afterward, she would throw together a light breakfast. With the Dragon Boat Festival just passed, the house was still stocked with leftover zongzi. That morning, after savoring her soup, she cut half a savory meat-filled zongzi and tossed together a light, low-calorie vegetable salad, pairing it with two slices of ham. It was a simple yet delightful meal that filled her up.
After breakfast, as Lele and Big Yellow played nearby, Gu Zi settled into the yard with her study materials. The sun's warm rays spilled across the garden, casting a lazy glow that coaxed her into a moment of blissful rest. It was too comfortable to resist.
In stark contrast to her past life, Gu Zi felt as if she were bubbling with happiness.
