Xu Mingzhi returned home earlier than expected, as if she had never been to Bian Tong's place.
Bian Tong's courtyard was filled with oddities. She had noticed it from the moment she entered, but to her, as long as she could find her daughter, nothing else mattered.
She changed into her shoes and entered the house. Her high heels had scratched her ankle again. She only took a glance and did not even bother to frown.
The original owner had already gone downstairs.
She asked Aunt Wu to rest first while she stayed in the living room. She did not expect her mother to come back so soon. There was only one floor lamp in the living room. The shade was beige, and the light was very warm.
She sat on the sofa under the light, wearing pajamas. It was the one that Su Ji usually wore the least. She liked it quite a bit.
She was doing some small crafts in her hands, and there were a few shoes on the ground beside her.
