The next day, when Li Si woke up, her body was sore, but she quickly got out of bed. By the time she finished freshening up and went downstairs, Leng Mochen had already finished breakfast and left.
Buding woke up earlier than her and was sitting in his high chair with a fawn-patterned bib, eating rice cereal fed by Sister Ding.
Seeing his mom, he grinned cheerfully, revealing two tiny white teeth on his pink gums. His laughter bubbled forth, "Gurgle-gurgle!"
Sister Ding greeted her with a smile, "Morning, Madam!"
Li Si smiled and nodded, "Morning! Sister Ding, where did Xiao Guai run off to so early in the morning?"
"In the yard!" Sister Ding scooped another spoonful of rice cereal from a small bowl and fed it to Buding.
Li Si affectionately kissed Buding's chubby little hand. "Is it tasty?"
