Song Lili smiled, "Let’s go, find sothing to eat in the kitchen."
"Okay."
Lili and Wen Xun walked to the kitchen and found so pastries to eat.
Wen Xun said he was hungry, but as he ate, it seed like he was tasting nothing.
"What’s wrong? What are you thinking about?"
"Ah? No... nothing..."
Wen Xun quickly shook his head, stuffing pastries into his mouth, bulging out his cheeks with cake.
"Slow down when you eat, no one is competing with you, don’t choke."
Song Lili sighed.
Looking at Wen Xun now, about half the height of a person, she couldn’t help but find it amazing.
She had taken him out of Tanjin when he was five, and now five years had passed.
She rembered how incredibly well-behaved and sensible he seed at five, and even now, she couldn’t help but feel a twinge of heartache for him.
"Do you want to go sit in the sunroom and watch the sunset?"
"Sure."
Wen Xun agreed, one of his favorite things was to sit next to Song Lili in the sun. They could sit there without saying or doing anything, just basking side by side in the warm sunlight.
The weather was getting warr, and ti flew by so quickly.
Her own recovery was quite rapid, which was sothing to celebrate after having a child.
...
Princess Chinian spent the afternoon in her boudoir, drawing a painting, then sat on the windowsill listening to music.
Normally, she would feel very drowsy by the afternoon, but today, she didn’t feel sleepy at all.
For so reason, every ti she closed her eyes, all she could think of was Zhongli Wuzhi.
He, in his drunken state, had pounced on her like that.
His voice when he was berating her, the way he grabbed her ankle and the strength he used to hold her close. He had said sothing... Little Ear?
What was that?
Chinian didn’t know, but she found it incredibly adorable.
Was he calling her Little Ear?
Chinian picked up a mirror and couldn’t help looking at herself, curiously touching her ears as she puckered her lips, her heart filled with doubt: were her ears... small?
They didn’t look big, and she smiled sweetly.
She also wondered what Zhongli Wuzhi and Sister Lili had talked about in the hall.
What on earth was Zhongli Wuzhi troubled about?
Seeing his lackluster deanor and those slender eyes... almost devoid of light...
She really wanted to know, really wanted to comfort, really wanted to share the burden...
Ah, Chinian, what are you thinking! You only t the man for the first ti today!
She quickly patted her face, trying to clear her mind. In the mirror, her reflection was unmistakably that of a love-struck fool.
She certainly didn’t want to leave an impression of being lovestruck...
She lay on the windowsill, the window open just a crack, allowing a bit of cool air to seep in, but it felt just right.
She put on headphones and listened to music from Country M.
Although she deeply missed her holand, suddenly... she wanted to stay in Country G a little longer.
She listened while tapping to the beat.
It was only a sha she couldn’t speak; otherwise, she would really like to sing a song right now.
...
When Princess Chinian ca downstairs at five in the afternoon, she had not expected Zhongli Wuzhi to still be there, so she didn’t look around much after going downstairs and just wanted to take a walk outside.
When she saw a bouquet of fresh flowers added to the coffee table in the living room, she couldn’t help walking over.
Looking at the tulips, white with a hint of yellow, most still in buds.
Besides the tulips, there were also sunflowers. Chinian was surprised to see them in this season, but then she rembered there was a greenhouse in the backyard of the President Mansion.
Inside, many kinds of flowers blood all year round.
Seeing the beautiful flowers, her mood improved as well.
Suddenly, a hand grabbed Chinian’s, and she scread out loud in fright.
"... your scream is really unpleasant."
The familiar voice was slightly hoarse.
Chinian couldn’t believe it; she hurriedly turned around and then saw a person lying on the couch—not just anyone, but Zhongli Wuzhi.
Oh my...
Zhongli Wuzhi had finally had a good afternoon’s rest, his head still buzzing a little.
Princess Chinian’s scream was an extra stimulus to his cerebral cortex.
He released Princess Chinian’s hand and sat up on his own, rubbing his head,
"What are you doing bending over here?"
Chinian quickly explained with sign language.
However, Zhongli Wuzhi couldn’t understand and simply waved his hand,
"Forget it."
Chinian suddenly felt a bit disappointed, standing there looking pitiful and at a loss.
At this mont, Song Lili and Wen Xun ca in after enjoying the sunset.
"Princess Chinian."
Wen Xun called out to Chinian.
Chinian nodded, smiling shyly.
