The first night watch has arrived, with one watch owed; I'll make it up tomorrow at noon.

When Lin Chuxia came downstairs to greet the elders, Lin Yanqiu was clearly much colder to her, her gaze lingering on Chuxia with a scrutinizing air for a long while.
Chuxia, of course, understood that the other was confirming something, so when she sensed the disappointment as the other withdrew her gaze, a similar feeling of indescribable disappointment rose in her heart.
Lin Yanqiu's kindness to her came from the love for her son; this Chuxia had always been aware of. She certainly did not expect to be genuinely accepted and seen as part of the family in such a short time. Without Zhou Mikang, what would she even mean in the eyes of the Zhou family members?
She understood the logic, but she just couldn't help feeling terrible.
