When the cabinet was opened, a large mirror could be seen inside. The heavy sound of the cabinet door opening seemed to be whispering how many years it had not been opened by its owner. Ye Ling looked at herself in the mirror, silent for a long time. She hadn’t seen herself for so long that she could barely remember her own appearance. The girl in the mirror, with rosy lips and white teeth, quietly sitting there, didn’t seem as bad as she remembered. “Mirror, mirror, tell me, is Ye Ling the most beautiful person in the world?” Anxi, seeing her silent, playfully stood behind her and said in a squeaky voice. “Grumble…” Her stomach answered her. Ye Ling shyly covered her stomach… Since last night, she hadn’t eaten anything, and now, after finally relaxing, the feeling of hunger suddenly swept over her. “Haha! Ye Ling, let’s go! I’m sure your family has been waiting for you for a long time!” Anxi and Ye Ling walked down the stairs hand in hand. “Little Ling!” A cry came from downstairs.

She was selfish. She felt this girl might help her daughter break through, so she didn’t want anything to interrupt this process. “It’s probably family… I’ll go check. Ye Ling, go eat!” Anxi tugged Ye Ling’s hand, who then smiled softly and walked towards the dining table. Anxi walked to the sofa, picked up her bag, took out her phone, and looked at it. Suddenly, she was not feeling well… Thirty-six missed calls, twenty-seven unread messages… All from Yan Qing. Oh no… Anxi looked at the anxious messages, feeling scared but also happy.
