In addition to the reception room for the guests on the first floor of the Zhangs' house, there was also a small living room for the family to rest and gather from time to time.

Eunha brought the scissors and tape, and followed Lisa downstairs with a confused look. They went all the way to this small living room.

Lisa looked around and chose a wall. There were exactly two entrances and exits at both ends of that wall, leading to the interior of the house and the courtyard, with such a narrow wall in the middle. There was now a side table with a small sculpture on it. There was a painting hanging on the wall as well.

She looked around, then walked over to take off the painting and put it aside.

"Cut four short pieces of scotch tape and give them to me," she instructed.

The little girl obediently followed the instructions. She cut a short piece of scotch tape and handed it to Lisa  first. She lowered her head and cut the second one. She looked up and wanted to hand it to Lisa , but she was stunned all of a sudden.

She saw her sister pressed her 'Learning Star' certificate on the wall and one of the corners was fixed there with a scotch tape.

Upon seeing that Eunha was stunned, Yansheng took the piece of tape from the little girl's finger and exclaimed, "What you waiting for?! Keep cutting!"

Lisa also fixed the other corner of the certificate with the second piece of tape. Now, her own hands were freed. She noticed that Eunha was now useless, she simply took over the scissors and tape, and did the cutting herself.

Eunha asked hesitantly, "Is this... okay?"

"Why not?" Lisa  asked rhetorically. "Isn't something like award certificates must to be shown to others? What's the point of hiding them in a box sneakily?"

"No..." Eunha replied weakly. "I mean, it's not good to post it here... right? Will Dad and Mom be upset?"

Lisa cut the scotch tape and told her calmly, "This is where the award certificates were originally posted, don't you remember?"

"Huh?" Eunha was a little dazed.

"Forget it, you were still young at that time. It's amazing that you remember me pushing you," Lisa said while the tape. "This wall was used for me to post my award certificates. At that time, I had many awards and some competition certificates. When you first came home, this wall was almost full of them. That painting was just hung here later."

Then later, why didn't you post anything? Eunha thought.

Yuna had always disliked Eunha for being 'stupid', but Eunha just wouldn't please Bakehyun as much as Yuna had expected. It was definitely impossible for a young child who could take the first place in the class to be a fool.

Eunha faintly felt that if she asked her sister 'what happened later', the answer might not be what she wanted to hear. She also felt that this was probably related to their arrival in this house-stepmother and half-siblings.

The little girl bit her lip and was too timid to ask.

Lisa posted the 'Learning Star' certificate, stepped back, looked at it with her crossed arms, and asked, "Is it all right? It's not crooked, right?"

Eunha also looked at it and exclaimed, "It's all right!"

Lisa nodded, rolled out the tape, picked up the scissors, and began to stick the second one.

When she was pressing her finger on the wall to gently smooth the tape, Lisa didn't expect that she would do this one day.

In the her father didn't care about the family affairs. So whenever she received a new award certificate, she would give it to her mother as soon as possible. Her mother would stick it on this wall by her own hands. When her mother passed away, this wall was full of her award certificates.
