The next day, Xiao Li woke up very early, but found Qin Xiao absent when she did. After getting up and washing up, Xiao Li walked out of the room, only to see Mianmian holding a book ready to go downstairs. "Mianmian, are you going to the family school?" Mianmian paused and turned back, "Mom, you’re up." Xiao Li walked down the stairs, and the mother and daughter went downstairs together, "Are you heading to the family school this early?" Mianmian nodded, "Yes! I’m already late today, Xiao Li and the others have already left! Mom, I’m running out of time. Dad should be at the martial arts practice field right now, and he’ll be back soon. You can wait for Dad in the yard! I’m leaving first." After saying that, Mianmian ran off. In family school, Mianmian was not afraid of anything except being late, as the consequences of tardiness were no joking matter! Xiao Li stood at the courtyard gate, watching Mianmian’s running figure, and smiled as she shook her head. A servant approached and asked, "Madam, will you have breakfast in the courtyard or in the dining hall?" "Let’s talk about it later! I’m not hungry right now." Xiao Li looked at the path below her feet and just walked forward, observing as she went. She didn’t have a particular destination in mind, so she just wandered casually. The route she walked now was one that Qin Xiao hadn’t taken her through yesterday, and Xiao Li kept walking forward until she reached the martial arts practice field. On the practice field, Qin Xiao was punching away, and with the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Xiao Li and immediately stopped his punches and left the field. "Nini, why are you here?" Since waking up, perhaps because her body hadn’t recovered yet, Xiao Li still needed a lot of sleep every day and usually got up late in the morning. She didn’t expect to be up so early today. Seeing Qin Xiao bare-chested, Xiao Li’s face reddened as she said, "I just woke up. The kids went to the family school, and I felt bored alone in the courtyard, so I came out for a walk." Qin Xiao found Xiao Li’s shy appearance amusing! They had been intimate before, and now, just him being bare-chested while practicing brought blush to Nini’s cheeks. "Didn’t have anything to eat first?" Qin Xiao asked with a smile. Xiao Li shook her head, "The servant asked if I wanted breakfast earlier, but since I wasn’t hungry, I thought I’d eat later." Qin Xiao took Xiao Li’s hand, "Then let’s head back!" The two walked back to the courtyard hand in hand, and while turning around, Xiao Li glanced at the martial arts platform. This place also seemed familiar to her. Not just here, a while ago she had thought about walking toward the practice field, feeling like she’d been here before. Returning to the courtyard, after Qin Xiao took a shower, he took Xiao Li to the dining hall. In the dining hall, Qin’s father and Qin’s mother were already sitting there sipping tea, and some small dishes were already set on the table. Seeing them come in, Qin’s mother asked the servant to serve the main meal. This morning, the main dishes were millet porridge and steamed dumplings, all dishes Xiao Li loved. Just as Xiao Li picked up a steamed dumpling, Qin Xiao handed her a small dish of vinegar. Xiao Li dipped in the vinegar and took a small bite. As the dumpling entered her mouth, her eyes changed slightly. Qin Xiao really knew her well; when she ate dumplings, she liked pure aged vinegar rather than mixed dipping sauces. When Qin Xiao handed her the small dish, she thought it contained mixed sauce, but unexpectedly, it was pure aged vinegar. As she spent more time with Qin Xiao, Xiao Li increasingly believed in their loving relationship. After the meal, Qin Xiao planned to take Xiao Li to meet Shao Yang, a request Xiao Li made last night because she wanted to see the child. But suddenly a phone call came, making Qin Xiao unavailable. He left Xiao Li in Qin’s mother’s care and retreated to the study. Seeing Qin Xiao absent, Xiao Li thought of Qin Xiao’s reaction yesterday at the Treasure Pavilion and suggested, "Mom, shall we go to Treasure Pavilion for a walk?" Qin’s mother paused slightly while pouring tea, "You know Treasure Pavilion? Has Ah Xiao taken you there?" Xiao Li shook her head, "Didn’t go inside. Yesterday, while walking, we ended up there, but Qin Xiao said it was late, so we didn’t go in. I was quite eager to see inside. Originally wanted Qin Xiao to take me there this morning, but he’s busy now!" Qin’s mother, upon hearing that Qin Xiao didn’t let Xiao Li enter Treasure Pavilion yesterday, quickly understood why. "Xiao Li, has Ah Xiao ever told you that Treasure Pavilion holds great significance for both of you?" Xiao Li nodded, "Yes." "Do you understand what significance means?" Qin’s mother asked, looking at Xiao Li. "Xiao Li, great significance means the memories here are crucial. If you visit such an important place and suddenly recall something, how will you cope with the shock?" Xiao Li was silent for a moment and then said, "Mom, do you not want me to regain my memory?" Qin’s mother shook her head, "It’s not about not wanting, but about prioritizing between memory recovery and your health. Whether it’s Ah Xiao or any of us, we would prioritize your health highly! Xiao Li, your health is still poor. Take your time with memory recovery, we can do it slowly." Qin’s mother said, gently patting Xiao Li’s hand. Listening to Qin’s mother, Xiao Li considered her issue of occasional irregular heartbeats, recognizing that she shouldn’t experience much stress. Better to treat this condition first, and as for memory recovery, it’s not something she can hasten—take it slowly! During the days at the old house, Xiao Li didn’t visit Treasure Pavilion again, just walked around other parts of the house. Even just walking , images would flash in her mind occasionally! Every time they appeared, they were too quick for her to grasp! However, with the continual emergence of images, over these days, she started having some dreams at night—dreams she’d forget upon waking, only retaining small fragments. Time flew by, and the children finished their family school term, and the family returned to the city. After spending these days together, Xiao Li felt much more comfortable with her family interactions than before. Inside the villa, Mianmian lay on the sofa, addressing Qin Xiao, who was preparing fruit, "Dear dad, school starts tomorrow, and we only have today’s holiday. Can you take us out for some fun?" Qin Xiao brought the fruit platter over, placed it on the coffee table, and handed a slice of apple to Xiao Li, "Mianmian, do you think you’re asking the right person?" Mianmian immediately understood and turned to Xiao Li, "Dear mom, can we go out?" Xiao Li was eating an apple, slightly pausing upon hearing the question, "This should be asked to your dad!" Mianmian raised a finger and shook it, "No, no, no, mom, you’re the queen of our household. The person with the most say is you! Anything you agree to, everyone else will agree to. If you disagree, it won’t happen in our household!" "Qin Xiao, is what Mianmian said true?"
