Yao Beidi found it somewhat amusing that the usually cold-hearted one was actually made to feel embarrassed by a little girl's comment.
On the way home, Yao Beidi and Xiao Xiao chatted and laughed, arriving back at their house.
Once home, Xiao Xiao began watching cartoons, rolling around on the sofa.
Yao Beidi was almost never strict with Xiao Xiao, often indulging her desires, perhaps because she always felt she owed something to Xiao Xiao. In their family, she contributed little, and Xiao Xiao's father...
She pursed her lips.
She hoped everything would gradually get better.
A smile played at the corners of her mouth as she bent her head to shower, getting ready to cook dinner.
Xiao Ye said he would come back for dinner in the evening.
In her memory, their family had never really had dinner together, though they did have breakfast once, and that time, it hadn't been particularly pleasant.
Tonight should be different, right?
