As she didn't eat much over dinner yesterday, she was so famished that she didn't have the patience to continue tidying up her messy hair . So she ended up tying them up into a bun .
She removed her bathrobe and changed into a set of white home wear with a small cat print on it .
Although she was ill, she still felt relaxed . She stuffed her hands into her pockets and sauntered out of her room .
Once she got to the first floor, Aunt Zhang happened to walk out of the dining room . The elderly lady smiled pleasantly at her . "Missy, I was about to check on you if you had woken up . Come and have your lunch now . "
Xuxu nodded her head and respond with an 'Ok' before heading straight to the dining room .
She stumped for a moment when she entered . Yan Rusheng was sitting there and he also wore a set of white home wear . He looked so dashing as he picked up a piece of vegetables with his chopsticks .

When he saw Xuxu, he paused in his actions and lowered his head . After which, he continued eating .
Xuxu walked over to her usual seat and took a glance at the dishes on the table .
Aunt Zhang painstakingly prepares all her favorite dishes every day, and true enough, there was the spicy pickled fish on the table .
She couldn't wait and pulled out a chair and sat down .
She picked up the chopsticks in front of her and took a piece of pickle and placed it in her bowl . After blowing at it, she shoved it into her mouth .
She was about to pick up a piece of fish when Aunt Zhang reminded her warmly . "Missy, I've added a lot of chili to the fish today . It's better for you to eat some other dishes first as your stomach is empty . "
Xuxu smiled and nodded her head . "I got it . "

The moment she opened her mouth, she was surprised . Her voice was… extremely hoarse .
She reached out to feel her throat and pressed it gently with her fingers . Her throat felt pain even when she pressed it lightly .
"Missy, what happened to you?" Aunt Zhang walked over to her and asked her with anxiousness laced unto her voice . "Have you caught a cold?"
Xuxu nodded her head . "I think so . "
When she woke up, she knew that she had caught a cold and had a sore throat . But she didn't expect it to be so serious .
Not wanting to worry Aunt Zhang, she said, "It's nothing serious . I'll take some medicine later and should recover soon . "
"You must be freezing last night . " Aunt Zhang's heart ached as she looked at Xuxu . "I'll make you some ginger tea later and you must also take some indigo root . "
After the old lady finished saying her piece, she took a glance at Yan Rusheng who was sitting opposite to Xuxu . She couldn't help but sigh .
She could only look at these two children giving each other their cold shoulders every day . If only the old madam was still around .
"Don't busy yourself . I'll go upstairs and take some medicine after I've finished eating . " It took Xuxu some effort to talk as she had lost her voice . She looked at Aunt Zhang and maintained her smile . "I'll be going to visit grandfather in the afternoon and won't be taking dinner at home . "
"Ok . " Aunt Zhang nodded but feeling worried, she reminded her again, "You must remember to take your medicine . "
She finally set her mind at ease and went back to her chores .
Aunt Zhang's concern and affection always reminded her of grandmother, the grandmother that she missed very, very much .
Xuxu trained her eyes at Aunt Zhang—who had a slight hunchback—and then retracted her gaze to continue eating .
She was a self-disciplined person but whenever she saw her favorite dishes in front of her, she couldn't resist the temptation .
Even if her throat was on fire, she continued picking the spicy pickled fish with her chopsticks .
The fish was piping hot and she blew at it as she ate .
Slap!
Yan Rusheng suddenly put down his chopsticks, or rather, slammed his chopsticks hard on the table .
