The next day, dawn was just breaking.
Su Shu got up early to cook, and to her surprise, Xiao'ai also rose very early.
The little one rubbed her eyes, pushed open the door, and upon seeing Su Shu, paused for two seconds, seemingly recalling the events of the previous night. She studied Su Shu intently for a while, her little eyes whirring around twice before she turned to go to the bathroom to wash her face.
Su Shu followed her but brought up neither the previous day's matters nor any explanations; she simply relayed the day's agenda.
She secretly watched Xiao'ai's expression and noticed that when she mentioned leaving the city for the countryside, Xiao'ai's eyes suddenly sparkled.
The car traveled from the city center to the highway entrance, and by the time it was daybreak, just before entering the highway, she called the grain store owner to confirm Peng Village's location once more before departing from City C toward Peng Village.
