"Add firewood!" Zhao Lanhua said without looking up. Then, she turned around and scooped a small bowl of flour from the cabinet.

She quickly added water and noodles and extravagantly added two eggs.

Fifteen minutes later, Ji Zhao couldn't help but gulp when she smelled the fragrance. "Mother? What are you making? Why is it so fragrant?"

"Dough drop soup." Zhao Lanhua kept stirring the pot with a big spoon. Finally, she added a pinch of white sugar to the soup.

In the end, she filled a bowl with the soup and handed it to Ji Zhao. "Be careful of the heat. Blow on it before you eat it!"

"Thank you, Mother!" Ji Zhao held the bowl of soup and smiled brightly.

Chapter 19: What Do You Want to Do?

The dough drops in the soup were very chewy, and the taste was sweet and soft.

After a while, Ji Zhao finished the bowl of dough drop soup.

"Mother, this dough drop soup is really delicious." Ji Zhao smiled and showed her the empty bowl in his hand. "Mother, look, I've finished it!"

Shen Yao happened to walk into the kitchen and saw the bright smile on Ji Zhao's face.

He held his fist to his lips and coughed twice.

"Sanlang, why are you in the kitchen so late at night?" Zhao Lanhua asked with concern. "Are you hungry? What do you want to eat? Mother will make it for you."

"Mother, I'm not hungry." Shen Yao shook his head gently. "Mother, I have something to say to Ji Ah Tao alone."

Zhao Lanhua subconsciously looked back at the nervous Ji Zhao and explained softly, "Mother brought her back. She injured her head and can't starve. She..."

"Mother," Shen Yao called her softly.

Zhao Lanhua nodded helplessly. In the end, she turned around and walked out of the kitchen.

Ji Zhao was so nervous that she did not dare to meet his gaze. She could only look down at her toes.

"I... I'll leave now... Don't be angry, okay?"

"What exactly do you want to do?" Shen Yao suddenly approached and stopped one step away from her. "Lift your head and answer my question."

"I really don't want to do anything." Ji Zhao looked up. The smile on her face was pale and powerless. "Mother is kind. She's afraid that I won't have anything to eat when I return to the Earth Temple, so she cooked dough drop soup for me. I really don't have any ill intentions."

"That's not your mother." Shen Yao interrupted her expressionlessly. "Also, don't come to my house again."

Ji Zhao suddenly felt a dullness in her heart. She was so sad that she could not speak.

She answered sullenly, "Got it."

Ji Zhao turned around and left the Shen residence. The hazy moonlight made her back look very lonely.

In the Shen family's house, Zhao Lanhua sighed sadly. "Sanlang, Ah Tao seems to have really repented..."

"It's late. Mother, rest early." Shen Yao forcefully interrupted her words of pleading. He turned around and limped back to his room.

Ji Zhao, who had returned to the Earth Temple, silently leaned against the reed mat in the corner. She rested her chin on her hands, her gaze empty.

It was not easy to untie the knot in Shen Yao's heart!
