Chapter 15 Plan
The next morning, Wan Chu'er woke up to the sound of Bai Zhixi cooking breakfast. She looked around the familiar room and at the calendar on the table; her heart slowly settling, she was still sixteen.
She lay in bed, savoring the warmth of home for a moment before getting up.
Taking a step, Wan Chu'er paused momentarily, somewhat surprised that her limbs didn't hurt as much. She lifted her arm and noticed the bruising had changed color, unsure how long Bai Zhixi had massaged her the night before.
After washing up, Bai Zhixi had just finished cooking.
"Chuchu, breakfast is ready."
"Okay, coming."
Breakfast included Xiao Mi porridge, corn cakes, and pickled cucumbers made by Bai Zhixi, which were crunchy and slightly sweet, very delicious.
She hadn't had such tasty pickled cucumbers in nearly twenty years. In her past life, she had put effort into finding them but never found any as tasty as those made by Bai Zhixi.
"Chuchu, don't just eat the pickled cucumbers, have some Xiao Mi porridge to nourish your stomach," Bai Zhixi, keeping a close eye on her daughter, gently reminded her.
"Mhm." Wan Chu'er gave Bai Zhixi a smile and picked up her bowl to sip the porridge.
The Xiao Mi porridge was thick and delicious too; Wan Chu'er found everything Bai Zhixi made delicious.
