The first time Mo Xiaoqing saw Ji Muhan was in a coffee shop with a "superb atmosphere."
Those clear, bright eyes, tinged with a hint of allure, left a deep impression on her heart.
Grandpa Mo and Grandma Mo hadn't seen their beloved granddaughter for a long time, and as soon as they saw her, they grabbed her and asked her all sorts of questions, asking how she was doing at school lately.
Mo Qing patiently answered each question. Fortunately, her aunt felt sorry for her and, after a three- or four-hour car ride, stopped the two elders from having a long talk and told her to go and rest first.
Are you still feeling dizzy?
"Much better." Mo Qing shook her head.
She has always been somewhat weak, especially prone to motion sickness, which she can't seem to get better. Every year when she returns to the capital for the Lunar New Year, she gets motion sickness and her complexion doesn't look good.
Looking at her beloved daughter's pale face, Mo Shi touched the top of her head with a pang of heartache and sighed helplessly.
When she gave birth to her, Momo suffered a lot due to a difficult labor. It was only thanks to her strong constitution that, despite practicing karate to improve her health over the years, some things still couldn't be cured...
"If you really feel tired, then get some rest."
She nodded obediently.
Mo Qing took a shower, and the nausea she had felt earlier lessened a bit. Her eyelids felt very heavy, so she lay down and fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.
The next day, Mo Qing was awakened by the sunlight streaming in.
In particular, the room faces east, and there is an osmanthus tree outside the floor-to-ceiling window, so you can smell its faint fragrance early in the morning.
Golden sunlight streamed in, casting dappled rays onto her bed.
Mo Qing groggily reached for her phone, checked the time, and saw it was already mid-morning.
She still couldn't open her eyes properly, so she rubbed her eyelids, half-opened her eyes, covered her face, and let her hair fall loosely on the pillow next to her.
It's too late. Grandpa and Grandma must have already eaten breakfast by now!
I feel so cute: When are you coming back?
She sent a message to Ji Muhan, but when she saw that he didn't reply, she figured he probably wouldn't reply anytime soon, so she immediately got up, washed up, and went downstairs.
When Auntie saw Mo Qing come downstairs, she was wearing a blue bunny pajama set, her hair was still a little messy and not tied up, but just flowing smoothly and black down her back. She looked absolutely adorable.
My heart melted. "Are you sleeping well?"
Mo Qing scratched the back of her head awkwardly and stuck out her tongue playfully. "I'm used to it. How could I not be used to it? I even overslept this morning and woke up a little late."
My aunt smiled, took the breakfast out of the microwave, and said softly,
"It's okay. Anyway, there's no rule at home that we eat breakfast together. I certainly can't sleep in until I naturally wake up at school, so it's fine to sleep a little longer now."
Mo Qing stopped talking, smiled faintly, and her dimples immediately appeared.
Aunt smiled gently, "I didn't know what you usually like to eat for breakfast, so I just made something simple."
"Anything is fine with me, I'm not picky," Mo Qing replied with a sweet smile and a soft, gentle voice.
While Mo Qing was eating breakfast, her phone beeped with a WeChat notification. Her eyes lit up, and she immediately took out her phone to check. She found that it was a message from Ji Muhan.
Upon opening it, I found there were still a few left.
I feel so cute: Could you please send me a message sooner?
HAN: Yeah.
Mo Qing ate breakfast while texting Ji Muhan, taking about twenty minutes to finish.
My aunt had finished tidying up the housework and sat on the sofa in the living room, her posture upright with her hands clasped together on her stomach. She watched TV with great poise and solemnity.
Mo Qing looked around curiously and asked, "Where are Grandpa and Grandma?"
"I just got up a little while ago. After having breakfast, I went out to exercise with the other elderly people in the compound."
Mo Qing blinked and smiled knowingly.
She knew about her grandparents' habit, and because of their different status in the family and the fact that they were used to living in the military compound, they had never moved out.
Grandpa and Grandma knew all the old people in the compound, especially Grandpa Qin across the street. She had heard about the two of them playing chess together since she was a child.
Although—she had never met that old man Qin…
Because of her health issues, she lived in Beijing, where the weather is warmer. Her parents bought a house there, and she lived there most of the time.
