Chapter 40: Lin Tingwan's Turning Point

"..."

Meeting her younger sister's pure gaze, a flicker of unprompted guilt washed over Lin Jianxia for some reason. She shook off the inexplicable feeling, walked up to Lin Tingwan, and asked softly, "Wanwan? Why did you come out?"

Lin Tingwan reached for the spiral notebook on the table, lowered her head, quickly scribbled a line of text—SCRIBBLE SCRIBBLE—and handed it to her sister.

"Waiting for you."

"Waiting for me..." Lin Jianxia glanced at the small room nearby. "Are you hungry? I brought you some food." She opened the insulated lunchbox and introduced the dishes with a touch of pride. "Today's food is really good. There's braised pork, mapo tofu, and your favorite green pepper stir-fried pork, Wanwan."
