Gu Zi had been thinking—once everything was more or less settled, she'd make a point to visit the university first, get a feel for the place. This wasn't her first time stepping into campus life, but still, she felt that little spark of anticipation for the journey ahead.
Just as she was about to let her thoughts wander romantically into dreams of lecture halls and quiet libraries, a small, disheveled figure emerged from the bedroom.
Su Le, her hair in wild disarray, padded over with sleepy eyes and a pouty face, calling out in her soft, milky voice, "Mommy, Lele is hungry."
Gu Zi turned and burst into laughter. The little girl's once-neat pigtails had come undone, now hanging limp and lopsided, with her hair puffed up around her head like she'd survived a tiny explosion. There was even something suspiciously smudged on her chubby cheek, a dark patch of mystery that hinted at mischief.
