She didn't want to understand that if she took the initiative to distance herself from Tian Tian, ​​no matter what others said, it would be useless.

Xiao Bai stretched out her limbs that were pressed down on her body and lay on her side at the foot of the bed, ready to fall asleep.

Mengmeng felt very distressed and troubled. She knew that her father and brother were very worried about what had happened to her that day and wanted to know the details. But she just couldn't remember.

Feeling utterly exhausted, Mengmeng collapsed onto the bed, writhing and squirming as she released her inner turmoil and unease.

I don't know how much time passed, but Mengmeng fell asleep exhausted.

The next morning, footsteps echoed in the quiet second-floor corridor.

Looking at all the closed doors, Tian Tian walked downstairs with an air of certainty.

"This porridge is still a little short of cooking. I'll go to the small vegetable garden in the back and get some fresh vegetables. Take a look around here," Aunt Xue said to Aunt Ping.

At the corner of the stairs, Tian Tian saw Aunt Xue leave before she came out.

"Aunt Ping!"

"Miss Sweetie, did you call me?"

Aunt Ping came out of the kitchen and looked at Tian Tian standing in the large living room.

Sweetie smiled, beckoned with her palm, and greeted Aunt Ping.

Her action was utterly disrespectful. But to Aunt Ping, she was the Gu family's young lady, someone she had lost and then regained, someone Aunt Ping, as a servant, could not afford to offend.

"Miss Sweetie, wait a moment, I'm coming right now." Aunt Ping turned around and turned down the fire on the stove that Aunt Xue had just told her to turn, then jogged over to Sweetie. "Miss Sweetie, is there anything I can do for you?"

"Go to my room and take the blankets out to air them," Sweetie ordered.

Aunt Ping, who had just been worried, breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

"Okay, I'll prepare breakfast in a bit, then go upstairs to tidy up the blankets and take them out to air them for you."

I want it now!

The sudden loud noise startled Aunt Ping, who looked at Tian Tian with a tense expression.

It's still early, the sun hasn't even risen yet, why rush things?

Aunt Ping moved her lips and said flatteringly, "Okay, Miss Sweetie, I'll go right away."

Her shout made Aunt Ping forget all about the porridge still cooking in the kitchen.

Within minutes, only Sweetie was left in the living room.

He glanced around and, seeing no one on the first floor, headed straight for the kitchen.

The porridge on the stove was boiling, and Tian Tian quickly took out a small medicine bottle from her pocket and held it in her palm.

After confirming that Aunt Ping and Aunt Xue had not yet returned, she opened the lid and poured the entire bottle opening into the pot.

Watching the white powder melt into the white porridge, Tian Tian could already imagine the scene of everyone in the Gu family revolving around her.

"Miss Sweetie?" Aunt Xue came in from outside and saw Sweetie grinning foolishly at a pot of porridge. She looked for Aunt Ping, but couldn't see her.

She quickly hid the bottle behind her back. As Aunt Xue came in, Tian Tian pointed to the pot and said, "Aunt Ping went upstairs to air out the quilts, so I came in to take a look."

"Miss Sweetie, the kitchen is dangerous. I'll watch over things here. You should go to the living room," Aunt Xue said.

The kitchen is full of fire and knives; if she were to be accidentally injured, neither she nor Aunt Ping would be able to explain it to Ruolan.

The matter was settled, and Tian Tian was too lazy to stay here any longer. After all, the place was full of cooking fumes, and she didn't want to get involved.

As she left the kitchen, Tian Tian glanced back at Aunt Xue, who was stirring the porridge with a spoon.

Stir it well, and it's now completely incorporated into the porridge.

After Aunt Xue finished preparing breakfast, the rest of the people came downstairs and sat around the dining table.

"Sweetie, when did you come downstairs? Mommy went to your room to wake you up, but you weren't there." Ruolan said, placing the peeled eggs on Sweetie's plate.

Nan Yuan'er sat next to Ruolan, and seeing how concerned she was about Tian Tian, ​​her gaze involuntarily turned to Gu Jingsi.

Just as he feared, Gu Jingsi's eyes were fixed on Mengmeng, and in his gaze, he still wanted to take Mengmeng away.

Sweetie picked up the egg and obediently replied, "I went to bed too early yesterday, so I woke up early this morning."

"It's good that you slept well. Eat more, and Mom and Dad will take you to school together in a little while," Ruolan said.

The matter from yesterday hasn't been fully resolved yet, so Gu Yinshen plans to go back to school to consult with the teacher about what happened yesterday.

Sweetie listened and looked up at Mengmeng. They were still thinking about Mengmeng, and after breakfast, the Invisible Man's position should be Mengmeng's.

She took small bites of the egg, watching everyone else at the table drinking porridge with spoons, feeling happy and wanting to hum a song.

Mengmeng took a sip, felt something was wrong, and looked down at the white porridge in the bowl.

Seeing that she was staring at the bowl, Gu Shiyu, who was standing next to her, asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing," Mengmeng shook her head.

The porridge in the bowl looked exactly the same as usual, but the taste just didn't feel right.

Is there something wrong with my mouth?

Mengmeng put down her bowl and picked up her chopsticks to eat some side dishes.

When Tian Tian saw that she wasn't drinking the porridge, she immediately sensed a crisis.

Could it be that she tasted it?

After thinking for a moment, she put the last of the eggs back into the plate and asked with feigned concern, "Mengmeng, are you feeling unwell?"

Her words made everyone stop eating and look at Mengmeng with concern.

"No," Mengmeng said. "The porridge is a little hot, I'll drink it later."

"Oh, I see." Sweetie drawled out the last syllable, stirring the white porridge in the bowl with a spoon.

As the steam rose, she kept her eyes fixed on Mengmeng, waiting to see when she would pick up her spoon and start drinking the porridge again.

"I'm done eating." Gu Shiyu took a tissue and wiped his mouth.

Upon hearing this, Tian Tian immediately craned her neck to check how much was left in his bowl.

Unexpectedly, there wasn't a drop left; he drank it all.

Sweetie looked at Gu Shiyu with a happy smile. It wouldn't be long before he was following her around like a puppy.

Just as they were enjoying themselves, the others also put down their bowls and chopsticks, indicating that they had finished their breakfast.

At this moment, Tian Tian turned her attention back to Neng Neng.

She said the bowl of porridge, which was very hot, was barely touched and was still on the table.

"Mengmeng, my porridge has gotten cold. Why don't you drink mine first?" Tiantian picked up her bowl and offered it to Mengmeng.

Seeing the bowls in front of her being exchanged, Mengmeng looked at Tiantian, who had a friendly expression, with a surprised expression.

Is Sister Sweetie trying to make up with her?

To live up to her expectations, Mengmeng picked up a spoon and started eating.

After taking a few sips, she slowed down. This bowl of porridge tasted the same as hers.

The taste was strange, indescribable, but not what plain congee should have.

Everyone had finished eating, but no one said the porridge tasted bad, so Mengmeng could only blame it on her own mouth.
