"Mom, I'm back." Zhu Xiangxiang walked into the living room, her pupils shrinking at the sight of three people watching television on the sofa together.
But she quickly put on a smile, stepping forward, "Did not expect Ming Jing to be here. If I'd known, I would have returned earlier."
Li Juan took her bag, passing her a cup of warm tea.
Granny Zhu glanced at her before returning her attention back to the television. It was a family reality show, quite educational.
Lin Qing coughed slightly, somewhat unnaturally, "Where have you been these past few days?"
"I visited Jiuhua Mountain. They say the blessings from the Buddha are highly efficacious there. I asked for good health and longevity for Granny and my parents, wisdom for Shaodan, of course, improved grades for me and for me to become ever so more beautiful."
Lin Qing exclaimed with mock annoyance, "With such many wishes, which one can Buddha really help you fulfill?"
