The next day, six in the morning.
Mornings in the north were much colder than in the south.
Gao Yuan got up and put on a down jacket that had been left at home. He had just pushed open his door when he saw his mom already busy in the kitchen.
"Mom, what are you doing up so early?"
"Making you some sweet potato congee for breakfast."
As she spoke, Huang Xiuxia turned to look at the fully dressed Gao Yuan, finding it a bit strange.
Whenever Gao Yuan came home before, he was the type you couldn't even wake up for meals. He'd never get out of bed before ten. Had the sun risen in the west today?
"What are you doing up so unprecedentedly early?"
Faced with his mom's suspicious look and extremely surprised tone, Gao Yuan felt a flicker of pride.
He did a little spin in the kitchen doorway and said to his mom, "Mom, have you noticed anything different about me?"
"Different?"
Huang Xiuxia looked at her son as she washed the sweet potatoes.
