Afternoon.
Huamei Community, Yu Family.
Ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong. Yu Meixia went to answer the door.
"...Mom, I'm back." Sweet-faced Yu Qianqian walked inside.
"Are you cold?" Yu Meixia quickly took her daughter's hands and warmed them. "Your hands are frozen white. Why didn't you wear more? It still isn't warm yet."
"I forgot." Yu Qianqian was very clingy, wrapping her arms around her mother and warming herself against her.
Yu Meixia smiled helplessly and hugged her daughter as she closed the door. "Your uncle is here. Go say hello first."
Only then did Qianqian look into the room. "Brother... oh, no... Uncle!"
Dong Xuebin smiled and waved. Once little Qianqian came over, he reached out and rubbed her little head. "Haven't seen you in a few days, and you've gotten taller? Good, and prettier too. Did you listen to your mother while Uncle was away? Hmm? How are your grades?"
Yu Meixia said proudly, "Qianqian placed third in her class on the school term exam."
"Oh, not bad." Dong Xuebin pinched her cheek. "You're really making something of yourself."
Yu Qianqian was a little embarrassed. "Aunt Luan reviewed the important material with me during winter break."
Dong Xuebin smiled. "That's still our little Qianqian's own ability. Very good."
Yu Qianqian was delighted, squinting as Dong Xuebin rubbed her head. She was as cute as a little kitten. Finally, she hugged Dong Xuebin's arm. "Uncle, I don't know what I pressed on my computer last time, but the internet got really slow. Can you take a look? And there are a few math problems I don't know how to do. Can you explain them to me?" She had not seen Dong Xuebin for several days, and now that she had latched onto him, she would not let go.
Yu Meixia reproached
