Dinner was already ready.
The moment Ruan Lan entered the door, her stomach couldn't help but rumble.
It smelled so good. This was the taste of home! Compared to the meals she had eaten in the school cafeteria these past few days... what even was that stuff? It was either so sweet it made her teeth ache, so bland she'd frown, or so spicy it made her question her life choices. Especially when the cafeteria lady served the food, her hand would shake uncontrollably, and Ruan Lan would have to watch as pieces of meat fell away...
"Auntie, hurry and wash your hands for dinner," Xu Yiyi said adorably.
"Yiyi's back!" Ruan Lan's eyes shone brightly. "Let your auntie give you a big kiss first. I've missed you to death these past few days."
She had definitely missed her. The days Xu Yiyi spent in the Immortal Domain had made even gaming feel boring. Besides her daily grumbling about Xu Lai, she had invested all her remaining time into the Formation Chessboard.
