Cao Meng's home was in the Imperial Capital, so even after the school semester started, she could still find time to go back every other day.
That day, relatives came to visit, and she took the time to go home again. When she went upstairs, she ran into the neighbor across the hall and greeted them with a cheerful smile.
"Auntie, you've just come back from outside!"
The neighbor, Aunt He, was just over forty this year, but because she had her child late, her child was only eight years old. In Cao Meng's view, although the woman looked quite polite, she seemed a bit too stern. Especially the deep laugh lines on her face, which gave off the aura of a strict school administrator. So before Cao Meng went to college, she actually didn't like seeing her. But now that she herself was partly liberated, her mind was much more open, and she didn't hesitate to greet people more warmly.
Aunt He smiled slightly, causing the laugh lines around her mouth to deepen even further.
