"So, Auntie is having breakfast with us today," Gong Yu said excitedly, looking at Mu Lin. "Mu Lin, do you know? This is the first time I've sat at the table and eaten with Auntie like this." This meal was definitely one to remember, and just the thought of it made her happy.
Moreover, "My parents are back, too." They're really curious about Mu Lin; I guess they've heard me talk about her too much.
"Didn't you eat together before?" Mu Lin asked; so, all these years, had her mother eaten alone?
"Yes," Gong Yu nodded. "Because we never knew when Auntie might suddenly have an episode, and she didn't want to be close to us at all, except for Auntie Qiu who took care of her all the time. So, Auntie Qiu took care of everything for Auntie, including meals." Even she, Gong Yu, had to put in a lot of effort to get Auntie to accept her.
Upon hearing this, Mu Lin fell into thought.
