Chapter 343: A Narrow Escape Leads to an Unplanned Mother-Son Reunion (5)_1
Zhenzhen nodded gravely, deciding that before going to sleep that night, she would thoroughly contemplate the words her eldest sister had said.
At this time, Yun Zhao stepped down from the table, performed a respectful bow towards Mo Yan, and finally, with affection, patted his younger sister on the head. He said nothing, but the gloom in his eyes seemed to dissipate somewhat.
Mo Yan was startled and hadn’t expected that a bunch of random banter could yield such a result, which pleasantly surprised her.
This time, everyone was stuffed and didn’t dare to walk around in the courtyard to digest the food, fearing it would cool their stomachs and lead to indigestion. Instead, they paced several rounds inside the house until they felt less bloated, and only then did they soak their feet in hot water and retire to their own rooms for the night.
Only when they were back in the small courtyard with one person, three beasts, and a bird did Maomao remember its mission. It called out to Mo Yan, extending its paw to reveal the message cylinder tied to its leg.
Mo Yan scratched her head, having completely overlooked that she had yet to reply, when yet another letter from Xiao Ruiyuan had arrived. Upon opening the cylinder and unfolding the letter, she saw the same seven words repeated eighty-one times and was deeply moved to tears!
Even if he had nothing to say to her, at least he could have written about the scenery along the way, she thought. She couldn’t believe he didn’t have the time or energy! No time, yet he managed to write the same seven words eighty-one times? No energy, yet he was obsessed with the issue of not writing or replying to her letters?
Mo Yan brooded for a while and eventually opened the drawer, retrieving the reply she had written the previous night. Considering that person’s unusual persistence and thought processes, she added one final sentence explaining why she hadn’t replied: "The letter wasn’t done when Maomao flew off."
Outside, unaware of being blamed, Maomao engaged in a skirmish with the three beasts, and by the time it rushed into its master’s embrace, dusty and exhausted from flying over four hundred miles overnight, it paid a painful price with chunks of its own fur!
