Back in the car, Mengmeng asked Gu Shiyu, "Brother, did Sister Tiantian go back early?"

"Hmm." Gu Shiyu glanced at the rearview mirror and turned the car around.

During the meal, Mengmeng wanted to ask, but seeing that no one seemed puzzled by Tiantian's absence, she guessed what had happened.

Did Sweetie's sister suddenly come home because of her?

Gu Shiyu glanced at Mengmeng out of the corner of his eye and, seeing that she seemed out of sorts, asked, "Mengmeng, what are you thinking about?"

Hearing this, Mengmeng raised her head, looking in Gu Shiyu's direction. After thinking for a moment, she shook her head. "Brother, are we almost home?"

"Almost there, are you tired?" Gu Shiyu asked with concern.

Mengmeng shook her head again.

Seeing her out-of-focus state, Gu Shiyu had some idea of ​​the answer in his mind.

The car sped up, and a few minutes later, it stopped in front of the Gu family mansion.

When I got home, the living room was empty.

"Aunt Ping, Aunt Xue?" Gu Shiyu called out into the house, then turned to look at Mengmeng, whose eyes were also scanning the room. "Let your brother take you upstairs to rest."

"Aren't they all home?" Mengmeng asked, puzzled.

Gu Shiyu didn't know either.

We got back at a relatively late time; usually, people wouldn't be resting at this hour.

Did something happen while they were away from home?

Gu Shiyu looked up at the second floor, where he could hear faint footsteps coming from above.

"mom?"

Ruolan came downstairs looking exhausted.

Their eyes met, and Ruolan replied weakly, "You're back."

"What's wrong?" Gu Shiyu frowned and took a few steps forward. "We're not here. Did something happen at home?"

Upon hearing this, Ruolan let out a long sigh.

"Is it about Sweetie?"

"Ah."

Ruolan came downstairs, still feeling unsettled, and looked towards the second floor.

"What is she causing trouble at home again?" Gu Shiyu asked impatiently, his resentment towards her growing.

“She came back to her room in the evening, didn’t say a word, just lay on the bed staring at the ceiling.” After Ruolan finished speaking, she looked up at Gu Shiyu and asked, “Was he with you this afternoon? I heard from Lao Zhang that he went to a classmate’s house.”

After hearing this, Gu Shiyu understood why she had come back and was causing trouble again.

"Don't bother her if she's in a bad mood," Gu Shiyu said to Ruolan, pointing to Mengmeng beside him, "Mom, where are Aunt Ping and Aunt Xue? Mengmeng is a little sleepy."

Mentioning Mengmeng, Ruolan's gaze fell on her. Having shaken off the bad mood she'd gotten from Tiantian, she walked towards Mengmeng.

"Mengmeng, let Mom take you upstairs to rest," Ruolan said.

“Okay.” Mengmeng reached out and took Ruolan’s hand.

Upon reaching the second floor, Mengmeng glanced towards Tiantian's room.

"Mengmeng, did something unpleasant happen at your classmate's house today?" Ruolan asked after thinking for a moment.

Should we tell Mom?

Mengmeng felt conflicted.

Seeing Mengmeng lower her head, Ruolan's curiosity intensified. She crouched down slightly, placed her hands on Mengmeng's shoulders, and tilted her head forward slightly. "Mengmeng, what happened? You need to tell Mommy so that Mommy knows what happened to Tiantian and can comfort her."

After a moment of silence, Mengmeng spoke up: "It's because Sister Tiantian suddenly opened the door to Tangtang's room, and Tangtang was unhappy, so Mengmeng immediately asked Sister Tiantian to apologize to Tangtang."

"So, Sweetie got angry because she didn't want to apologize?"

"Mom, is this the reason? Mengmeng isn't quite sure either."

Ruolan touched Mengmeng's cheek. "It's okay, Mengmeng didn't do anything wrong."

Back in the room, under Ruolan's care, Mengmeng changed her clothes and washed up, leaving her alone in the room.

Sweet and unhappy thoughts would occasionally surface in my mind.

After a moment of internal struggle, she got out of bed. Her gaze fell on the doll on the desk, and she walked towards it. Picking it up, Mengmeng walked out of the room without looking back.

It took her several minutes to walk just a few steps.

Knock knock~

After knocking on the door with the side of her palm, Mengmeng stepped aside and waited for a sweet response from inside.

Time ticked by, and not a single sound came out.

"Doll, do you think I should knock on the door again?" Mengmeng muttered to the doll, looking down at it.

Behind them, Sweetie stood silently behind Mengmeng like a ghost.

Sweetie heard everything she just said. She started walking towards Mengmeng, but stopped when she was about a meter away.

"You're willing to give it to me?"

The sound startled Mengmeng.

"Sweetie? You're not in your room? Mengmeng just knocked on the door and has been waiting for you to answer me."

Sweetie reached out her hand, her fingers heading straight for the figurine in Mengmeng's hand.

Suddenly, her palm felt empty. Mengmeng looked down at it, and when she looked up, her gaze fell on Tiantian's hand.

"Sister, today at Tangtang's house, Mengmeng didn't intentionally criticize or target your behavior. It's just..."

"I know."

Sweetie interrupted in a cold voice.

"I really like your plush toy. I'm sleepy now, do you want to come back to sleep with me?"

The topic suddenly changed, and Mengmeng stared blankly at Tiantian.

not angry?

Or has he calmed down already?

Before Mengmeng could figure out the answer, she was already being pulled into Tiantian's room.

The room was a mess. The vases that should have been on the table were broken and lying on the floor. Even the books from the backpack were scattered on the ground like trash.

Just as Mengmeng was about to ask a question, she saw Tiantian step directly onto the books and walk towards the desk.

"Sister Sweetie?" Mengmeng asked cautiously.

"You mean the ground?" Sweetie glanced down casually and then said, "I was looking for something but couldn't find it."

"Do you need Mengmeng's help?" Mengmeng was already bending down to pick up the books from the ground.

The things on the ground were all things that Sweetie threw away in a rage after returning home. Now that someone is willing to clean them up, she couldn't be happier.

"If you're willing, of course I'm willing." Sweetie gave a fake smile, then turned her back to Mengmeng and continued to fiddle with the doll she had just received.

Click~

"Oops~"

Mengmeng was busy tidying up when a voice suddenly echoed in the room. Mengmeng stopped what she was doing and looked up in the direction of the voice, which was where Tiantian was.

"Mengmeng, this figurine is broken, you won't blame me, will you?"
