But the next second, the woman who was fast asleep opened her eyes.

Caught off guard, Madam Bai met her cold, slightly impatient gaze.

She paused for a moment, thinking she had misread it.

But then I heard her say, "It's not comfortable."

"I just don't want to go to work."

"Huh?" Madam Bai asked, puzzled. "Why is that?"

Bai Xuan is a kindergarten teacher, and she loves children, something Mrs. Bai knows all too well.

After graduating from university, Bai Xuan obtained her early childhood teacher certificate and later taught at a kindergarten in the Shibei District.

For three years, rain or shine, she was never late, and she was never absent, whether she was feeling unwell or not.

Once, when she had a cold, fever, and runny nose, Mrs. Bai advised her to rest at home, but she refused and insisted on going to class while wearing a mask.

Oh, so now...

Madam Bai snapped out of her thoughts and looked at her.

The woman turned her face away and said irritably, "I'm tired of teaching kids, it's such a boring thing."

"Tired of it?"

"No way!" Mrs. Bai exclaimed in shock.

She stared at Rong Shang for a while, then frowned, feeling that the child was different today.

It's like he's become a completely different person.

Let's just take her words as a joke for now.

Mrs. Bai said with a smile, "If you're tired, just take the day off."

"Mom's gone out. You get some rest."

"..."

Rong Shang ignored her and closed her eyes to continue sleeping.

When Madam Bai saw it, she shook her head, not knowing what to say.

On this day, both Bai brothers were at the company and did not return home.

Rong Shang slept until noon when Madam Bai came to call her down for lunch.

After finishing her meal, she didn't help at all. She just put the bowls and chopsticks on the table and went upstairs to sleep without saying a word.

"This..." Madam Bai's expression changed slightly.

The maid asked her, "Madam, what's wrong with Miss?"

She shook her head, looking very troubled. "I don't know either."

In the afternoon, Madam Bai went up and knocked on the door.

But she replied, "I'm sleeping. Don't bother me unless it's important."

That impatient tone sounded so unfamiliar.

When Madam Bai heard this, she felt truly hurt.

But after a while, she still said in a good mood, "Mommy won't bother you, Mommy will go downstairs now."

Once downstairs, Mrs. Bai quickly called Bai Mo, who was still at the company.

But Bai Mo was in a meeting at the time, and his assistant answered the phone.

The assistant knew it was her who called, so she asked her what it was about and said she would pass on the message to Bai Mo after his meeting.

But Madam Bai thought it best not to let outsiders know about family matters.

"No, I'm fine."

After saying that, she hung up the phone herself.

...

I slept all day.

When I woke up again, it was already dark outside the window.

Night falls.

Rong Shang heard a commotion of footsteps outside.

She sat up and stretched.

I was just about to get my clothes and take a shower.

The door clicked open.

Turning her head, she met Madam Bai's gentle gaze the instant she looked over.

The other party was taken aback for a moment.

Then her expression turned extremely unnatural. "Xuan'er, you're awake."

"Um, I..."

As soon as Madam Bai stepped aside, the doctor behind her immediately leaned out, pointed at Rong Shang, and asked, "Is this Miss Bai?"

Well.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Madam Bai looked at the woman inside with some embarrassment, "Xuan'er, I brought a doctor to take a look at you."

"What do you want to see?" Rong Shang raised an eyebrow, her gaze sharp. "Are you seeing a doctor?"

The two people at the door were startled; they nodded and then shook their heads.

"No," Madam Bai explained, "I just noticed you've been sleeping all day. Are you feeling unwell?"
