Chapter 1194: Keep An Eye On Li Li
As she passed through the first floor, Gu Zi couldn’t help but notice that the layout of the house had barely changed.
Everything was impeccably clean. The space felt warm, familiar, lived-in—comforting in a way that stirred memories. She stepped into the backyard, where the vegetable garden was in full bloom, brimming with lush, seasonal greens. It was clear her parents had been tending to it with even more care than before—the soil practically vibrated with life.
"Our vegetable garden looks beautiful," Gu Zi said softly to Su Shen, a tender smile playing on her lips.
She pointed toward the clusters of vibrant tomatoes. "Look at those green ones, and the red ones too. If Su Li were here, he’d be the first to pluck one straight off the vine to eat. And then he’d make sure to share some with his big brother and little sister."
Su Shen pulled her close, wrapping an arm around her as he nodded. The garden was impressively managed—lush and fragrant, every plant thriving—but what touched him more was how many times Gu Zi had mentioned the children today.
This was the third time. He could feel her longing. Of course she missed them—deeply. And he knew it hadn’t been easy on her.
Inside, An Yun called out from the kitchen, beckoning them with her usual matriarchal warmth. "Come eat something quickly, then go upstairs and get some proper rest. Your room’s been locked all this time. I just opened it to air it out and changed all the bedding for you."
Gu Zi and Su Shen obediently sat down to eat.
