Perhaps at that time, her younger sister thought, "No matter what, mother and daughter shouldn't get along like this." However, whenever Shi Guijia sees Yang Luoyi, she is reminded of what happened back then.

Regardless, it was a sad thing.

"...Maybe this so-called three months is just an excuse to get closer to each other."

Shi Guiyan has the most ideas. If Shi Guijia really doesn't want to, she will always find another way. She can't just ignore Yang Luoyi.

"...This is really troublesome."

After buying breakfast, Shi Guijia carried it back home.

As soon as I entered, I heard a sound.

"..."

Not only that, there were also sounds of things breaking.

Helplessly walking towards the direction of the sound, I discovered that Yang Luo had fallen down.

She stood on the steps, head bowed, with a broken jade plate on the ground.

It seems she's really curious about this thing, and even if she's only gone for a short while, she wants to find out what it is.

Did they see her past with Yang Pingsheng?

However, this thing is a magical artifact after all, and it needs spiritual energy to operate. Where did this child get spiritual energy?

"……What are you doing?"

Shi Guijia casually placed the breakfast on the table, walked over, and squatted down in front of Yang Luoyi.

"Did you fall down the stairs?"

Yang Luo lowered her head, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes.

He didn't say a word, seemingly trying to suppress his grief.

"Huh, is she about to cry?" Shi Guijia was a little surprised. She thought that the other person was the kind of person who was rebellious, having been fighting and rummaging through things while she was asleep. She didn't expect her to be so gentle.

"Are you alright?"

Actually, a quick glance would tell. There was no blood or bruises. I guess the child was trying to hide the jade plate on the second floor, but accidentally fell down the steps.

Yang Luo didn't speak, she just shook her head.

"Are you hungry? Let's go eat."

"..."

He remained silent, staring intently at the ground.

Shi Guijia sighed helplessly and opened her arms.

A faint spiritual energy emanated from her palm, continuously repairing the marks on the jade plate.

During the repair process, Yang Luoyi watched intently.

Soon, thanks to Shi Guijia's skillful operation, the jade plate was repaired.

"I took it, and you're not allowed to take it again. If you take it again next time, I'll hit you, understand?"

"..." He lowered his head, looking unwilling.

Shi Guijia didn't care about all that. After putting the jade plate back in the storage room, she walked back and sat down at the dining table: "Come on, have breakfast."

Breakfast consisted of two naan breads.

The naan bread was dry and hard, and frighteningly large, even big enough to cover Yang Luoyi's face.

"..."

Yang Luo took a bite.

"Well……"

It's hard and crunchy.

"So hard..."

"hard?"

Shi Guijia picked up her portion, took a bite, and crunched away.

It's not hard, she thinks it's okay.

"So hard...I can't bite it..."

"There's nothing we can do about it; it's not like it was baked to this state. We'll just have to make do with this for breakfast."

"...I don't want to eat."

"Didn't anyone teach you not to be a picky eater?"

"..."

Belatedly, Shi Guijia suddenly realized that what she had said was a bit too much.

She coughed and asked impatiently, "What do you usually eat for breakfast?"

"My aunt made it..."

"What would you like to eat?"

"My aunt made it."

Has that guy's cooking become that good?

Shi Guijia scratched her head. She remembered that when Yang Pingsheng was still alive, that guy would come over for meals every day, and his cooking skills were simply terrible.

How could this child like something made by someone like that?

"Mother, I don't want to eat this..."

"Then you shouldn't eat it."

Shi Guijia took both naan breads and ate them in big bites.

After a long time, there was still no movement from the other side. Shi Guijia looked over and saw Yang Luoyi standing still, just staring at her.

"Ugh……"

She sighed helplessly, "Didn't I tell you? Your aunt has gone on a long trip, so she can't cook for you."

"..."

"How about I give you something different? We have some soft pancakes, or would you like something else?"

"Porridge……"

"Is porridge enough? I can't help you if you're hungry in the morning."

"Ah."

"That's easy," Shi Guijia muttered. "Porridge is the cheapest thing in this town. There are soup kitchens not far away, which are set up specifically for the poor."

Shi Guijia, of course, did not go so far as to collect the porridge. Instead, she took a bowl, went outside, bought a bowl from a random shop, brought it back, and placed it in front of Yang Luoyi.

"Your porridge."

"Thank you, Mother."

She thanked him sincerely, then took a spoon and sipped the drink slowly.

"...Don't go tell your aunt that I'm abusing you, okay?"

The little thing was pitifully drinking her porridge. If Shi Guiyan saw her, she might just punch her twice.

That's it.

She sat down and began to eat her naan bread.

The mother and daughter finished their breakfast.

Shi Guijia yawned and planned to take a nap, but as soon as she sat back down, she found that the little one was standing in front of the door peeking at her, just like yesterday.

"……What are you doing?"

"..."

"It's getting late, you should go to school now, right? Besides, you're all grown up now, so don't expect me to take you. Pack your things yourself, and if you want money, take it yourself."

"...Today is a day off."

Is this even possible?

Shi Guijia had never been to school or a school, so she knew nothing about rest periods and naturally did not know when Yang Luoyi went to school or not.

"How long will the leave last?"

"Five days."

"?"

Did they really take such a long break?

Her younger sister had never told her about this, so she wasn't prepared at all.

Five consecutive days off—doesn't that mean she has to look after the child for five days straight?

"You have friends, right? Go visit them and hang out as long as you want, just remember to come back."

"..."

It remained motionless.

"Whatever you want."

No longer paying attention to the little one, Shi Guijia closed her eyes again.

In the end, of course, I couldn't fall asleep.

The mother and daughter stared at each other blankly all day, having steamed buns for lunch, and then continued staring blankly until evening.

What a terrible day...

Once such an idea arises, it cannot be suppressed.

I never imagined that time would pass so slowly. It has even become difficult to go out for a drink. The mother and daughter seem to be caught in a strange competition, as if whoever makes the first move will admit defeat.
