Chapter 52 Leftovers
Bangbangtang kept twisting and turning, waking him up without needing her to call.
She thought he probably hadn’t fully woken up yet, as he touched Bangbangtang’s smooth fur and stared at her in a daze.
"Ahem!" She cleared her throat, "If you’re awake, come out and eat! Grandma asked me to call you!"
The aroma of meat wafted through the air; Grandma must have uncovered the soup pot’s lid. Bangbangtang, who was pretending to sleep, swiftly slid off him and darted towards the source of the delicious smell.
He awakened from his dream and got up.
Tu Hengsha glanced instinctively at the Xuan paper on the table. The characters were his, and at that moment, they appeared much clearer. Over the past twenty years, he had improved remarkably.
Speaking of which, she still treasured a piece of his calligraphy! He wrote it when he was in the third grade. In her eyes, it already had the style of a budding calligrapher, with handwriting as neat as a copybook, bearing Xu Gui’s seal. It was exhibited in the bulletin board, but after the summer vacation, he left the school. The exhibited works were replaced in the new semester’s bulletin board; some were claimed, and those unclaimed became waste paper. Therefore, it was her who picked it up while collecting trash.
She stood in a daze at the door, and he brushed past her shoulder, his faint scent overshadowing the mugwort aroma in the room.
Four people eating twelve dishes was certainly too much. Besides Xu Grandma setting aside a portion for Cui Pei, the four of them ate less than half.
