There was no one in the living room, so Kang Li called out for Mrs. Qi and Song Xuan.
"Auntie!"
Song Xuan had co out from the main bedroom and smiled as soon as he saw Kang Li.
Kang Li: "Has grandma been ill?"
"Yes, a cold, with a bit of a cough."
Although the young man now spoke in brief sentences, he had no trouble saying short phrases smoothly and with his own emotions.
For example, he would smile when happy and frown when unhappy... In essence, the young man now was no different from any normal person.
"Co on, let’s go see grandma."
The young man had grown considerably taller than Kang Li, so much so that she had to tiptoe to ruffle his hair as she did before, which was sowhat awkward.
However, the young man then bowed his head, and in an instant, Kang Li’s smile blood beautifully, finding his gesture extraordinarily heartwarming.
She ruffled his hair and said, "Auntie has brought you a gift from abroad. Let’s open the box in front of grandma and see what’s inside."
The young man’s eyes sparkled with a clear, bright smile. He nodded, looking so well-behaved and adorable!
"Li Bao..."
Mrs. Qi was very happy, inviting Kang Li to sit by the bed: "During these days, godmother couldn’t help feeling joy whenever she thought of you winning the gold dal overseas. You really made godmother proud!"
Kang Li smiled, feeling a bit embarrassed: "As long as godmother is happy."
After giving the gift she bought for Mrs. Qi, and placing the gift for Director Song in Mrs. Qi’s hands, Kang Li finally handed a neatly square box to Song Xuan: "This is a gift from your aunt. Open it and see if you like it."
Receiving the gift from Kang Li, the young man’s eyes curved into crescents: "Thank you, Auntie!"
Mrs. Qi’s eyes were filled with indulgence as she looked at her grandson and then back to Kang Li: "You must have spent a good amount of money on these, huh?"
"Not much, besides, I’m sure to win quite a bit of prize money now that I’m back."
Kang Li appeared relaxed. Honestly, she hadn’t spent much on all the gifts she bought abroad. Well, to be more accurate, she hadn’t spent any of her own money.
The expenses were covered by the rewards the System gave her for every completed task.
To be even more precise, in Dwen Dwen’s space, her rewards had piled up significantly, whether it was money and coupons or consumables and utilities.
Knowing she wanted to buy gifts for her family, Dwen Dwen directly provided her with foreign currency, making it convenient for her to shop.
The box was opened by the young man. The next mont, he looked puzzled: "Auntie..." He took a finely crafted wooden box out of the packaging unsure of what it was.
"Look, gently open the lid on top."
Kang Li’s lips curled into a smile. She took the wooden box from the young man’s hands, slowly opened it in front of him, and the box began to emit lodious music.
The young man’s eyes shone as bright as stars: "Music, it’s beautiful."
"Yes, beautiful. This box is called a music box."
She handed the music box back to the young man: "Do you like it?"
"I love it, thank you, Auntie! I really love it!"
Listening to the music from the box, the young man smiled happily and joyfully, nodded at Kang Li, and thanked her once again.
Seeing the young man’s focused expression as he sat beside her, holding the music box and listening to the music, Kang Li turned her gaze to Mrs. Qi and said, "Godmother didn’t tell she was ill. I only heard from my mother last night. You don’t look very well; it seems my mother was right, this isn’t just a minor cold."
Mrs. Qi smiled: "I’ve taken dicine and it’s much better now, nothing serious."
"Really much better?"
