Tan Lingling walked over from the kitchen and saw that everyone was just sitting there, not touching their food. She hurriedly called out, "Start eating, Xiaoxiao, come on, have some fish..."

She sat beside Xiaoxiao, continually serving her food until the bowl was nearly overflowing.

By the end of the meal, Xiaoxiao was quite full.

After eating, Tan Lingling took her to the room she had prepared, saying, "Xiaoxiao, take a look and see if you need anything. Auntie will help you get it."

Seeing the room, Xiaoxiao could tell a lot of care had gone into it. She smiled and said, "Auntie, it's great. You don't need to prepare anything else."

Tan Lingling then took her to the bathroom. Surprisingly, the bathroom had a shower head.

She handed Xiaoxiao a new set of pajamas, saying, "Xiaoxiao, these are new. After you wash up, get some rest early."

Xiaoxiao entered the bathroom, closing the door behind her. The bathroom had clearly been renovated, with red bricks on the floor and a large bucket with a shower head.

She planned to take a thorough bath later, so she just quickly rinsed off here and changed into the pajamas Tan Lingling had prepared.

The pajamas were comfortable and made of cotton, but she wished they weren't pink.

When she walked out of the bathroom, she saw Tan Lingling waiting in the yard.

Tan Lingling's eyes lit up with excitement as she saw Xiaoxiao, pulling her around in circles. "You look so good in this color, Xiaoxiao. Auntie has this fabric too; I'll make you a dress with it."

Xiaoxiao quickly interrupted her, "Auntie, I have enough dresses. No need to make more."

Tan Lingling insisted, "Oh, dear, you don't understand. I'll check out the Friendship Store for lace fabric and make you a princess dress. It will look amazing. We have lots of dance costumes like that in our troupe..."

"Auntie, I'm a bit tired..."

To avoid having her take measurements on the spot, Xiaoxiao pretended to yawn.

"Oh, okay. Go get some rest, then..."

Once back in her room, Xiaoxiao waited a bit until she felt everyone had returned to their rooms, then she entered the space.

She enjoyed a hot spring bath, finally easing the fatigue from the long train journey.

After drinking a glass of milk, she left the space, lay down on the bed, and soon fell asleep.

...

Early the next morning.

Xiaoxiao woke up when she heard noises outside and got dressed.

She went outside to find Fu Weihao and a few of her brothers practicing martial arts in the yard.

She joined them from a short distance behind, following along with their practice.

Tan Lingling saw this and, smiling, went back to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

After a satisfying round of military boxing, Xiaoxiao felt invigorated.

Fu Weihao looked at her with a smile in his eyes. "Xiaoxiao, practicing boxing with your grandfather?"

Xiaoxiao nodded.

"Not bad, better than your brothers," Fu Weihao said.

Tan Lingling had breakfast ready and called out, "Breakfast is ready, stop chatting..."
