Chapter 180 Kyoto

She took the key out of her pocket, carefully inserted it into the lock, and gently turned it. The door creaked open.

Immediately afterwards, she quickly picked up a rag and began to carefully clean every corner.

The entire health center was quiet, and no one else came to disturb them.

After everything was tidied up, Shen Xiaoxiao casually took a book from the bookshelf in her space and sat down on the stool to read it leisurely.

Time slipped away quietly as the pages of the book were turned, and before we knew it, the sky had gradually darkened.

As night was about to fall, Shen Xiaoxiao carefully put the books back into her space, then got up and went to the door. After carefully checking and confirming that all the doors and windows were closed, she slowly walked home.

The moment she stepped into her home, the first thing that caught her eye was the kitchen, which was filled with all kinds of food.

Most of these are easy-to-store ingredients, but there are a few special jars of meat sauce that can only be stored for two or three days at most.

At this moment, Ma Aning was standing in front of the kitchen counter, skillfully kneading a lump of white flour with both hands.

She was completely absorbed in her work, a light sheen of sweat forming on her forehead, but her hands never stopped moving.

Shen Xiaoxiao, who was standing nearby, came over with a puzzled look on her face and asked curiously, "Mom, you've been massaging for so long, why don't you stop?"

Without looking up, Ma Aning continued kneading the dough vigorously while softly replying, "Daughter, we need to steam some buns and mantou tomorrow morning. So, let's knead the dough and let it rest first, so that it will be softer and more delicious when steamed."

After saying that, she put in even more effort and kneaded the dough repeatedly.

Upon hearing her mother's announcement of tomorrow's breakfast plans, Shen Xiaoxiao's mind immediately turned to dinner.

She blinked her bright, lively eyes and tugged at Ma Aning's sleeve, pleading, "Mom~ I want noodles tonight, and it would be even better if you could add some of your incredibly delicious mushroom sauce!"

After saying that, she gave Ma Aning a sweet smile.

Looking at her daughter's playful appearance, Ma Aning felt a surge of affection and smiled as she agreed, "Okay, okay, my little glutton, Mommy will make noodles for you tonight."

He put down the dough in his hand and turned to prepare the ingredients.

While the mother and daughter were having a heartwarming interaction, the Dai family in Kyoto was experiencing a completely different scene.

Dai Xingyun's mother, Liang Xinyun, walked hurriedly along the road, clutching an urgent letter from her son tightly in her hand.

She hurried home.

Soon, Liang Xinyun returned home. At that moment, Dai Zhan and his grandfather were chatting in the living room when they suddenly saw Liang Xinyun rush in, holding a letter in her hand.

Seeing this, Dai Zhan quickly stood up and asked with concern, "Wife, what happened? You're panting so much."

"Oh dear! Our son sent us an urgent letter. We wonder what important thing it is."

Liang Xinyun said anxiously, clutching her chest and panting heavily.

She had just jogged back, and a few glistening beads of sweat still clung to her forehead.

"Why didn't you just take the letter and open it yourself? Why did you rush back to make me open it?" Dai Zhan said as he took the letter.

At this moment, Dai Nai and Dai Xingyu, who were busy in the kitchen, heard this. They looked at each other, put down their work, and hurriedly ran out of the kitchen.

Without hesitation, Dai Zhan tore open the envelope and eagerly began to scan the contents of the letter.

"What exactly happened? What did your son say in his letter?" Liang Xinyun asked anxiously from the side.

After quickly glancing at the letter in her hand, Dai Zhan slowly raised her head. A hint of surprise flashed in her bright eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.

He responded in simple and clear words: "My son said in his letter that he has found someone he likes."

"It's the girl we mentioned in our previous letter. She's very special to our son; she can make his body, which used to ache frequently, stop hurting."

"Is that all the letter said? Did it say nothing else?"

Upon hearing these words, Liang Xinyun's face clearly showed dissatisfaction and disappointment. She frowned and asked again with resentment.

"Who says otherwise! Our rascal, every time he sends back a letter, it's the same, just a few words about important matters, nothing else." Dai Zhan sighed softly, shaking his head helplessly, and kept muttering complaints.

"Yes, I remember the last time too, they suddenly sent a letter saying that he had fully recovered and no longer felt that pain every day."

After that, there was no further detailed account of what happened. "Sigh..." Liang Xinyun sighed softly, a hint of worry in her eyes.

"Now he's writing to say he's dating someone, without even telling me anything about the other person." Liang Xinyun was truly exasperated by this brat.
