After finishing the meal, Bai Ling dragged me to the mountain to pick wild vegetables.

Although I was burdened with worries, I couldn't find a reason to refuse.

Watching Bai Ling happily running ahead, I really didn't want to believe that she had anything to do with Liu Fei's disappearance.

Bai Ling played with birds and chased butterflies along the way, like an innocent and lively child.

I was also infected by her, and a smile began to appear on my lips.

Bai Ling bent down not far away to pick wild vegetables, while I wandered around nearby.

By chance, I discovered a hidden pit full of various flowers.

I picked several flowers and broke a few branches to make a flower wreath for Bai Ling.

Bai Ling was extremely happy and hugged me tightly, giving me several kisses.

We returned home full of joy, and it was already dusk.

Bai Ling happily put the flower wreath on my head and went to the room to wash vegetables and cook.

I sat down in the yard, but soon I heard the sound of bowls and chopsticks falling behind me.

Grandma Bai stood there, her expression filled with fear.

She stared at me intently, unaware that the soup from the broken bowl had splashed onto her pants.
