"Daddy, why hasn't Mr. Liu Zheng come back yet?"
Nina asked Anke, resting her chin in her hands.
"Mr. Liu Zheng has some very important things to do, so he won't be back for a while."
Anke spoke while peeling the potato skin.
Although they had all been assigned rooms, Anke's family and Flora's family still gathered in the hall.
After all, during "Pale Night" like this, it was more reassuring to stick together for warmth.
And the old woman let them, partly because the Suffering Church didn't have so many complicated rituals, and partly out of respect for Liu Zheng's sake.
"So boring."
Nina fiddled with a jar full of beans out of boredom, then, with a gleam in her eye, she grabbed a bean and threw it at Flora, which landed in the latter's neckline.
"Ah!"
Flora let out a yelp and quickly got up, shaking her body.
"Giggle~"
Nina let out a laugh like a little hen.
"Oh, you just wait, I'll get you for this."
Flora shouted and lunged toward the instigator.
