Home is where the comfort is.
Xiao Qian sips the lovingly-made soup by her mom and enjoys watching her mom's daily routine of disciplining her tardy younger brother. It makes her feel at ease.
"You little brat! Not coming home after school, where have you been roaming? You still know how to come back!" Jia Xiufang aimed a kick at her son's buttocks, while Chen Zilong dodged and explained.
"Our teacher detained us. Sister, you're back! Save me! Mom's having menopausal issues and is beating your well-behaved brother again!"
"As the saying goes, a sapling needs to be straightened lest it grows crooked. Da Long, our mom is doing it for your own good." Xiao Qian answered gently, only her eye behind the glasses seemed a bit cunning.
It's been a long time since she has seen such a scene. It really feels like home.
The warm soup, the nagging mom, and the disobedient brother - it's so good to be back home.
