「The next day.」
Xiaodie woke up early. As usual, she got dressed and began bustling about Spring Lotus Garden.
Fetching water, cleaning, preparing breakfast.
Having woken up later than Chen Yi a few times before, she was now determined to always rise earlier than the Young Master.
And for the past few days, she had succeeded.
Every day, Xiaodie would finish her chores, then go attend to Chen Yi as he woke. After he ate, she would see him off to Jishi Medicine Hall.
Just this simple routine was enough to make her happy for the entire day.
It had to be said, she was just that kind of simple-hearted maid.
By the time she finished everything, the sky was just beginning to brighten with the first light of dawn.
Xiaodie gazed at the freshly cleaned study and living room. On the large square table, she had laid out fried dough sticks, congee, and a few small pastries and side dishes.
A sweet, innocent smile graced her young face.
