Chapter 57: Chapter 57: If It’s Wrong, It’s Wrong, I Admit It!

Ye Li slept in comfortably until she naturally woke up.

Upon opening her eyes, above her was a pristine white ceiling.

Turning her head, the bright sunlight shone cheerily through the floor-to-ceiling window.

The breeze blew gently through the gap in the window, bringing a hint of coolness to the warm room, which was refreshing to the core.

Thinking about the past week, first, on Monday, she had squeezed into the dormitory bed with Lu Xiaoxiao—a bed that would creak at the slightest movement, making her afraid even to turn over.

Then, she had spent the following days curled up on a hospital sofa, waking up with either a sore neck, or a pain in her back or waist, hurting all over.

Only last night, after soaking in a bath and sleeping on a large, plush bed, did she finally get a good night’s sleep.

Whenever she thought about how delicate her body was—almost like a princess on a pea—Ye Li felt grateful for the umpteenth time that she had met Fu Yanci.

Speaking of Fu Yanci, she also thought of Xiao Bao.

She had promised to play with Xiao Bao today!

Ye Li stretched lazily in comfort and reached for her phone on the nightstand.

"Ah..."

Her scream escaped her at just one glance.

11:36 AM.

If she slept any longer, she would miss lunch, let alone have time to play with Xiao Bao!

Everything was ruined!

Fu Yanci would definitely scoff with a "heh": Ye Li, is this how you fulfill your promise when you offer to take Xiao Bao home and treat him well?

Ye Li washed her face, brushed her teeth, changed clothes, and hurriedly dashed downstairs, just in time to see the quiet presence of one adult and one child reading in the study on the first floor.

Fu Yanci was sitting at the desk by the window, looking at his computer.

On the floor in front of the desk, Xiao Bao was reading.

In the tranquil study, there was only the occasional sound of a mouse click and the rustling of book pages turning.

Feeling a bit guilty, Ye Li scratched her head and turned toward the kitchen.

Moments later, she returned.

Knock, knock, knock!

"Um... it’s time to eat!"

Ye Li stood outside the door, gently reminding them.

"Xiao Bao, mark your page, it’s time for lunch!"

Fu Yanci spoke up, Xiao Bao nodded, packed up the book from the floor, placed it on the shelf, and followed Fu Yanci out.

Both the adult and the child ignored Ye Li completely as they departed without a sideways glance.

Even if Ye Li was slow to react, she knew their ignorance was intentional!

"I can’t be blamed..."

She caught up and tugged at Fu Yanci’s sleeve, "Why didn’t you wake me when you got up? And my alarm was somehow shut off, I didn’t deliberately oversleep!"

"Fu Muzhi..."

Unable to reason with the adult, Ye Li turned to the child.

Squatting down, she took Xiao Bao’s hand and looked sincere, "When you’re wrong, you’re wrong, and I admit it! The morning is already gone, but I’ll take you out this afternoon to play and make sure you have a great time. Look at my performance, okay?"

Xiao Bao quietly looked at Ye Li: How will you perform?

"If you have fun, then forgive me for not keeping my promise this morning. If you don’t enjoy yourself, consider it my poor performance. I owe you one day of play, which I’ll make up to you tenfold, is that okay?"

She glanced up to see Fu Yanci, seemingly calm and with a pleased look in his eyes as if he were in a good mood.

Then, turning back to the eager expression of Ye Li, anxious to make amends.

Xiao Bao stretched out his small hand.

Beside them, Fu Yanci’s eyes paused slightly.

Oblivious, Ye Li cheered.

"Pinky promise, a hundred years we stay, never change or as a puppy you’ll pay!"

Their fingers hooked together, and hand in hand, they went to the sink to wash their hands before sitting down at the dining table.

The table was resplendent with a variety of dishes, all of which were her favorites at first glance.

Sleep well, and you get good food—Ye Li felt incredibly cheery.

Then she looked up to meet the scrutinizing gaze of Fu Yanci, as if she had done something shocking.

Her chopsticks paused mid-reach, and her heart skipped a beat, "What’s wrong?"
