Tang Mei returned to the master bedroom on the second floor and immediately stuffed a small pill into Tang Xiaowan's mouth, her profound eyes filled with tenderness and a sense of indebtedness.
If it weren't for the fear of Tang Xiaowan eavesdropping by trailing behind her, she wouldn't have had to resort to using Chinese medicine pills.
One pill to induce sleep, one to clear it away.
As a child, Tang Xiaowan was very clingy, especially insecure. Every time Tang Mei had to go out for work, she had to play a game of hide-and-seek with her first, and Tang Mei had to role-play as her mother during the game; otherwise, she couldn't leave the house at all.
One time, when they didn't play, Tang Xiaowan stubbornly followed the car, running far away, stubbornly refusing to go back.
From then on, whenever Leng Lingxiao visited Mei Garden, he would play hide-and-seek with Tang Xiaowan, pinch her nose, dress up as a girl, pretend to be her mother, tirelessly and happily.
