Thinking about it, I really was in the wrong, so Chuxia decided that once the Division Commander cos out, she must apologize to him and also keep herself in check.
Procrastination is sothing that should be avoided at all costs. It’s a common phenonon in the future, but for now, such people are still relatively rare. She can’t beco an example of this!
Lost in her thoughts, Chuxia didn’t know when she fell asleep. When she woke, it was already six in the morning. The Division Commander Tongzi ca out of the bathroom just in ti, saw her sitting up, and went over to rub her head: "Get so more sleep. The registration ti is at nine, so getting up at seven-thirty is perfectly fine."
"Oh." Dazedly responding, Chuxia lay back down, not forgetting to remind her husband, "Let my mom know, if Li Xinli cos, ask her to wait for a bit."
Hesitating for a mont, Zhou Mikang said: "Alright." If he were to ntion that Li Xinli ca ho last night, she definitely wouldn’t go back to sleep. So for now, he’d deceive her a bit.
"Let help."
"No need, you go sit down. We two are enough in the kitchen."
"I..." Li Xinli stood at the kitchen door, watching Wang Zhongliang and Qin Yingfen busy with breakfast, feeling awkward. After staying over at their house for a night, she felt bad about not helping out and then still staying for breakfast.
But she could see that the couple were extrely efficient and skilled in their tasks. Her going in wouldn’t help much, but sitting idle made her feel worse. As she turned around, she saw Zhou Mikang coming downstairs and imdiately straightened up: "Hel...Hello!" She was unsure of how to address him.
Zhou Mikang nodded to her, pointing to the sofa: "Have a seat and wait for a bit. Chuxia will be up later. If you don’t want her to feel awkward, just be comfortable."
Though his words sounded awkward, Li Xinli quickly understood the Division Commander’s aning and gratefully smiled at him, obediently sitting on the sofa.
After Chuxia finished washing up and ca downstairs, she saw Li Xinli chatting with her own mother on the sofa. She imdiately apologized, "Sorry, I got up late and made you wait for a long ti, didn’t I?"
"No... not at all..." Li Xinli quickly stood up, smiling awkwardly, "Chuxia, did you sleep well?"
"Quite well..." Chuxia nodded and looked at Zhao Yulan, "Mom, in this new place, did you and dad sleep well too? And grandpa?" Normally, Old Master Wan would have been up by this ti.
"He said he went out for so exercise, should be back soon." Zhao Yulan held her daughter’s hand to sit, "When Xinli ca last night, you were asleep already, so we didn’t wake you."
"Ah?" Chuxia was taken aback for a mont, imdiately understanding why Li Xinli felt awkward, and couldn’t help but grumble, "Zhou Mikang, that jerk knew, right? Didn’t even tell . Wait till he cos back, he’s in trouble."
"You child, saying such things in front of Xinli, aren’t you afraid she’ll laugh at you!" Zhao Yulan playfully slapped her daughter, "He probably didn’t tell you because he was worried you wouldn’t get adequate rest, right?"
"A day of poor rest doesn’t matter to , but Xinli ca so late at night, she must have felt awkward. And sleeping in until now only makes her feel more awkward..." Chuxia held Li Xinli’s hand, "Sister Xinli, though yesterday was our first eting, I feel a real connection with you, and my parents and grandpa like you too.
I ntioned to my third sister-in-law before that if possible, you could stay with at my place. It would be lively with more people, as my parents don’t know many people around here.
I was really happy that you thought of coming to my place, truly. If you didn’t trust or value our friendship, you wouldn’t have co, I know that."
Without asking much more, giving herself so comfort first, Li Xinli looked at Chuxia with gratitude: "I know you don’t like hearing say thank you, so I won’t.
However, how grateful I am, you surely know. After returning ho yesterday, things didn’t go smoothly with my mom and sister. My dad stood up for and ended up arguing with my mom.
Then, they talked about divorce. Yesterday at your place, Sister Jingzi and Sister Jingyi said that my dad and I have no status at ho, and even when I got into college, my mom wasn’t pleased, only regretting not letting my sister take my place.
Honestly, my mom’s actions really broke my heart. I was so upset yesterday, otherwise I wouldn’t have packed my bags and left so late. Initially, I thought I could just make do at my dad’s factory for the night.
Sister Jingzi and Sister Jingyi chased after us to stop us. They wanted to stay at their place, but I couldn’t put them in that position. If I had gone, my mom would argue non-stop, making life unbearable for the Fang Family.
Eventually, they had no choice but to suggest sending to your ho, saying that I could go to school with you. By the ti we arrived, it was nearly ten o’clock, which really was quite an interruption..."
Hearing this, Chuxia understood the whole story, so she interrupted her: "Alright, alright. I’m already really happy that you could co over with my third sister-in-law and Sister Jingyi.
No need to keep saying it was an interruption. My parents, grandpa, and Zhou Mikang are all hospitable people and understand that you coming at that hour was out of necessity.
If you’re always so polite, then you’re treating us as outsiders. But..." Chuxia blinked playfully at her, "If you do feel bad, there’s actually sothing you can help with."
"What is it?" Li Xinli unconsciously straightened up.
"When I take a break from school, help copy so notes so I don’t fall behind."
"That’s a given." Li Xinli promptly promised, "I will definitely do a good job on that, so we can graduate together. If you don’t graduate, I’ll wait for you!"
