Chapter 1087: Very Efficient
Gu Zi had been thinking—once everything was more or less settled, she’d make a point to visit the university first, get a feel for the place. This wasn’t her first time stepping into campus life, but still, she felt that little spark of anticipation for the journey ahead.
Just as she was about to let her thoughts wander romantically into dreams of lecture halls and quiet libraries, a small, disheveled figure emerged from the bedroom.
Su Le, her hair in wild disarray, padded over with sleepy eyes and a pouty face, calling out in her soft, milky voice, "Mommy, Lele is hungry."
Gu Zi turned and burst into laughter. The little girl’s once-neat pigtails had come undone, now hanging limp and lopsided, with her hair puffed up around her head like she’d survived a tiny explosion. There was even something suspiciously smudged on her chubby cheek, a dark patch of mystery that hinted at mischief.
"My precious girl," Gu Zi chuckled, reaching out, "you look like you’ve just escaped from a war zone. Come on, let’s get you cleaned up."
Scooping Su Le into her arms, Gu Zi called for Su Bing, who had been nearby and immediately hurried to fetch water.
Gu Zi quickly washed the worst of the mess off Lele’s face and hands. She was about to comb the child’s hair when her own stomach gave a loud and insistent growl. Right. Breakfast first—then hair.
She took Lele by the hand, and with Su Bing and Su Li trailing closely behind, the four of them stepped out into the morning air.
