Mother Rui found herself distracted all day, her mind full of messy things. Even then, she meticulously tended to her work on the field before trekking her way home in the evening, just in time to prepare a light dinner for Rui Ye who was still recovering from a cold.

He was dying to play with Xiao Bai!
