Ruan Nuan really had to call this child a miracle girl.
Pfft~
What a cheesy name.
Ruan Nuan cringed at how cheesy it sounded.
But...
She looked at the girl's lifeless eyes.
If those eyes could truly shine again...
Then miracle...
Was the only word that fit.
The girl bashfully turned her face slightly away.

Ruan Nuan smiled.
"All right."

She just couldn't bring herself to leave the girl alone.

She hadn't gone with Master Xiao because she had wanted to say a few things to the girl.
Though in the end, she hadn't said anything.
Before she knew it...
The whole day had passed...
Auntie had even come home from work.
Ruan Nuan marveled at how quickly
