  The little one earnestly said, “Otherwise, mommy will feel lonely upon seeing an empty house when she returns.”


  “Good boy.” Pausing, the mother then picked up her son and carried him over to the other woman, saying, “Come greet this auntie.”


  The child curiously glanced at her before eventually landing a puzzled look at the unfamiliar lady. Out of curiosity and surprise, he asked, “Who is this auntie? Is she mommy’s guest?”


  “Yes! From today onward, she’ll be staying with us. She’s our guest, so you have to behave and not cause her trouble!”


  “Why would he?!” exclaimed Meng Qingxue. “I like children, and he’s no trouble at all. Besides, if anything, I’m the one imposing on you and your son.”


  Warmth shone on Chu He’s face as she looked at her and said, “Since we’ll be staying together under one roof, let’s skip the formalities!”


  Perhaps, due to their extremely similar experiences, both women shared looks of sympathy for each other when their gazes met.

  Meng Qingxue then took a step closer to them and bent slightly at her waist to meet the lad at eye level. “What’s your name, boy?”


  It might be due to him feeling shy and awkward, but upon seeing her pretty face and eyes with long, fluttering lashes right in front of him, the child’s breathing suddenly somewhat hastened. He got so nervous that he stuttered over his words. “H-Hello…… auntie! M-My name is…… Baby Chu!”


  “Baby? What a cute name! From now on, just call me ‘Auntie Qingxue’, okay?”


  “Auntie Qingxue?” His eyes lit up as he shyly greeted her, “Hello, Auntie Qingxue! You have the same name as the big sister on TV!”


  Finding his words baffling, her eyes widened in curiosity.

  Chu He explained to her at once, “There’s this fantasy drama that was really popular on TV last year. Hmm…… I think it’s called ‘Swords of Legends’ or something…… and the female lead’s name was Qingxue.”


  “Ah, I see……”


  Right then, the kiddo struggled out of his mother’s embrace and pitter-pattered his way to the dining table, where he carefully took a clean cup. Next, he took out a canister of tea leaves from the cupboard with his small hands and placed a scoop of tea leaves into the cup before carrying it into the kitchen and pouring some hot water into it. Not long after, he was seen slowly placing the cup of tea on the coffee table that was in front of the sofa.

  Appearing all enthusiastic, he ran to the woman and carefully tugged at her sleeve while speaking bashfully. “I brewed you a cup of hot tea…… The weather is cold; please drink some to warm yourself up.”


  The lady looked up at the mother in surprise. “He’s such a sensible child for his age.”


  “This is what I should do! It’s your first time here. Plus, you’re my mommy’s guest!” answered Baby Chu in all seriousness.

  His overwhelming friendliness made her feel a little awkward, however.

  The moment she walked over to the sofa and took a seat, the boy standing bashfully at the side reminded her with wide eyes, “Be careful, auntie. It’s hot!”


  “Okay, thanks!”
