With the presence of a three-star Exorcist, Yan Junze's previously uneasy heart finally settled down, and sleepiness crept up on him without notice, swiftly falling into a deep slumber.
The next morning, the alarm on his cellphone rang out.
Yan Junze hadn't gotten enough sleep and knew that for the next week, he wouldn't be able to attend school, but he had forgotten to turn off the alarm.
Groggily getting up, he saw that his mother and Zhang Xiaomo had already gotten out of bed and were sitting at the dining table.
Everything was as usual.
Yan Daguo had left home early, Li Man had prepared breakfast, and Zhang Xiaomo was already seated at the dining table eating her share.
"Auntie, did you make this pickled vegetable yourself? It smells so good!"
"Brought it from my hometown."
"Hmm, paired with the noodle soup you made, it's simply a delight of this world."
"Then eat more, have Ze's portion as well, I'll go cook another bowl."
"There's no need for that."
