The cool autumn breeze makes people feel infinitely happy. In the dilapidated courtyard, between two trees, a dark-colored figure is lying on an artificial hammock. Her face is covered with a white handkerchief, which is crooked.
Showing an unknown object.
"Mother, it's already noon."
Suddenly, a childish but helpless boy's voice came from the tree trunk nearby. His small body clung to the hammock, using his hands and feet to climb onto the woman who was sleeping soundly.
He lifted up his little hand and grabbed the woman's handkerchief to cover up the sun. The sudden strong light instantly stung Huo Aorou's eyes. Her delicate brows wrinkled slightly, and her eyes were opened with great effort. She knew it without thinking.
Who did it.
Holding the somewhat chubby body with both hands, Huo Aorou propped herself up and yawned wildly.
"Don't you know it's rude to disturb someone's sleep?"
Stretching slightly, Huo Aorou opened his mouth casually, but was blocked mercilessly by a certain kid.
"Five hours have passed since you fell asleep."
The little boy stretched out a small hand and waved it in front of her eyes.
"Um...really? Did I sleep for that long?"
Huo Aorou jumped off the hammock, bent down, twisted her neck, and tugged at her clothes. This ancient person was troublesome. Although she had been in this unknown time and space for five years, she was really not used to such cumbersome clothes.
.
"We've already missed breakfast and lunch, are you sure you don't want dinner too?"
The little boy who was still lying in the hammock looked at a woman who was extremely out of control with a serious look on his face. He really didn't know how he fell in love with such a mother. No wonder even her father, who was never meant to be with her, didn't want to show up.
With a snap, a finger flicked on a certain boy's head.
"Swallow those disdainful words in your mind. What's wrong with me, your mother? At least I have allowed you to live without illness or disaster until now. You should be grateful, you know?"
Huo Aorou looked at the delicate little face in front of her and sighed. Time passed by really fast. In the blink of an eye, she had already passed five years in this time and space. Even her son was five years old. If
Her parents must have left her alone long ago if they knew she had such a lovely son.
"Mom, I'm hungry."
As soon as he saw his beloved mother's face looking wrong, Little Devil Huo immediately changed the subject. Mother like that made him most uncomfortable.
"Okay, I'm going to cook for our Demon Huo."
With a long hand, he took the man off the hammock and walked to the kitchen holding his hand.
"Can you please skip the egg-fried noodles tonight?"
The small voice asked tentatively.
"Can."
"real?"
The child's voice suddenly increased by several decibels.
"Of course, we'll have noodles and scrambled eggs tonight."
