Honey shouted into the space, "We're going to be too late! What if they find you're not in the room?!"
Li Xiyue drove the car to the entrance of the spatial passage, opened the passage, ran out, and then put the car back into the space.
The door was kicked open with a bang, and Li Wenbo and Cheng Xiaohui rushed into the room.
Cheng Xiaohui looked at Li Xiyue with surprise, who had just lazily opened her eyes.
Li Xiyue pulled the blanket up tightly, rubbed her eyes, and said, "Mom, what are you doing? What's wrong? Did something happen?"
Seeing that her daughter was alright, Cheng Xiaohui finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She said, "I called you outside the door for a long time, but you didn't respond. I couldn't open the door, and I was afraid something might happen to you, so I asked your dad to break the door open."
Li Xiyue said, "What could possibly be wrong with me? I'm just sleeping. I'm a very sound sleeper, and I can't be woken up by ordinary noises. Du Guixiang has to push me hard every day to wake me up."
Cheng Xiaohui said, "It's good that you're alright. I've made breakfast, so get up and eat."
Li Xiyue said, "Okay. You guys go out first, I'll get dressed and get up."
Cheng Xiaohui called to Li Wenbo, "Let's go, it's good that our daughter is alright!"
Li Wenbo patted Cheng Xiaohui's shoulder, "I told you our daughter was fine, but you were still worried."
Cheng Xiaohui said, "How was I supposed to know my daughter slept so soundly?"
Li Yan, who had been standing outside the door watching the commotion, had a sharp eye on Li Xiyue's shoes.
She said in a sinister tone, "Why are your shoes covered in mud, sister? Did you go out thieving last night? Where did you get this mud from?"
Mi Bao said in the space, "I really want to tear her mouth apart!"
Li Xiyue said, "When I came back last night, it was too dark, and I wasn't paying attention while walking, so I stepped in mud. What happened? Did I step on your liver?!"
Li Yan was about to say something,
Cheng Xiaohui said, "It's dark, how can you see anything clearly? You might accidentally step in mud."
Yue'er, your dad and I went to the mall yesterday and bought you a pair of leather shoes. I'll go get them for you; you can wear them today.
"Leave these dirty shoes at home; Mom will wash them and let them air dry."
Li Xiyue was wearing a pair of square-toed black cloth shoes that every girl in that era had.
Although these cloth shoes are not very durable and will wear out around the big toe after frequent washing, they are much cheaper than leather sandals and are the most common shoes worn by ordinary people.
Li Xiyue said, "Mom, thank you for your help!"
Cheng Xiaohui bent down, picked up the two shoes from the ground, and carried them out of the room.
Li Wenbo also came out.
Li Yan clenched her teeth. She walked to Li Wenbo's side and said in a low voice, "Dad, the mud we stepped in last night is still wet today."
Besides, the grass on the mud is all fresh. If this mud had been collected last night, the grass would have wilted long ago, wouldn't you agree?
Li Wenbo said, "Your sister came back very late yesterday, and it's only been a few hours since then, so it's normal for the grass to be fresh."
What are you thinking, kid? Do you think your sister would run out at night? Who would she be looking for?
She only has a few relatives in the capital, and no one else she knows.
Your auntie made some wontons, and I told her to put extra meat filling in them. You'll definitely love them. Go eat them quickly, because wontons don't taste good if they soak for too long.
He followed his wife around excitedly, saying, "Xiaohui, put the shoes in the kitchen, I'll wash them in a bit!"
Cheng Xiaohui said, "It's just a pair of shoes, I'm not tired."
Li Wenbo said, "You're not tired, but I'm tired just looking at you. You made breakfast, and I'll do the dishes and shoes later."
If you have nothing to do, just watch TV in the living room, or go chat with your neighbor, Aunt Li, and eat some sunflower seeds!
He felt incredibly guilty towards Cheng Xiaohui. He hadn't taken care of her all these years, and now that he was spoiling her rotten, he still felt indebted to her.
Li Xiyue pulled back the covers. She hadn't even had time to take off her clothes, which were quite dirty, and had soiled the sheets and blankets.
Mibao said, "The new sheets and blankets are all dirty, and your dad glossed over the shoes issue with just one sentence."
But the sheets and blankets are another story; you weren't wearing this camouflage outfit when you came back last night.
Li Xiyue locked the door, immediately returned to her space, and changed into the clothes she had worn when she came home yesterday.
She found the same bed sheets and blankets in her spatial storage.
Mi Bao looked at the identical bed sheets and the identical quilt in surprise.
It stared with wide eyes and said, "They're exactly the same! They're way too similar!"
Li Xiyue said, "In this era, textile factories only produced a few styles of bed sheets and quilt covers, either phoenixes or peonies. It was hard to find something different."
There are only a few types of bed sheets; when you visit someone's house, you almost always see the exact same ones.
Mibao sat in the boss's chair, her fluffy little paws supporting her chin, and said, "I never thought that the scarcity of resources in this era would actually help us."
Li Xiyue took the sheets and blankets out and changed them all; you couldn't tell the difference at all.
She took a basin and went out of the room to fetch water from the kitchen to wash up.
Cheng Xiaohui served four large bowls of wontons and placed them in front of everyone.
Li Xiyue sat next to her mother and finished the wontons without any hesitation.
Worried that she and Li Yan might be malnourished, their mother put eggs in both of their bowls.
Mi Bao said in the space, "A perfectly good egg is better fed to a dog, it's such a waste to give it to Li Yan!"
Li Xiyue said, "I'll make her vomit up whatever she ate! She still wants to report me to Li Wenbo? Ha!"
She gave Li Yan a cold smile, meeting Li Yan's piercing gaze.
Li Yan was burning with anger. She had found such strong evidence, but Li Wenbo didn't even consider that possibility!
Why couldn't she believe that the grass, even after being stuck to the edge of the shoe for hours, would still be as fresh as if it had just been cut?!
It wasn't like this before; Li Wenbo used to believe whatever she said!
Now Li Wenbo only listens to Cheng Xiaohui!
Thinking of this, a fire burned fiercely in her heart. If Li Xiyue hadn't come back, her family would have been living a good life.
She was her father's little princess, but now he only dotes on Li Xiyue and doesn't even have time to look at her!
Her hands clenched into fists, her nails digging deeply into her palms.
After finishing her meal, Li Xiyue said goodbye to her mother and walked out of the Li family's gate with her small backpack on her back.
Mibao said in the space, "Li Yan is with you!"
Li Xiyue said, "She came at the perfect time! I was just thinking about how to lure her out!"
Heh, someone's been foolish enough to run right into my line of fire, so naturally I'll grant their wish!
Mi Bao laughed out loud like a goose in the space, "Goose, goose, goose, let's see how she dies!"
Li Xiyue turned into an alley and leaned against the wall to wait for Li Yan...
