Adjusting her mindset, Gu Tiantian used her phone screen as a mirror to check her reflection, ensuring she looked presentable before putting the phone down and heading out.
Not long after she stepped out, Aunt Huang arrived.
"Tian Tian, you're finally awake. You must be hungry, come on, come on. Aunt Huang made dumplings for you with cabbage and pork filling. They're still hot."
Seeing Aunt Huang's face full of loving kindness, Gu Tiantian's eyes welled up again.
Her heart also felt a twinge of sourness.
Fortunately, the dim light should prevent Aunt Huang from noticing her emotions.
"Aunt Huang, thank you so much!"
If not for Aunt Huang and Uncle, she wouldn't know where she would be staying tonight.
Although she had inquired about inns, she might not dare to stay there. Otherwise, it was either huddling near the town's station for the night or finding an internet café to pass the time.
Despite all the discomfort, it was bearable compared to giving up her personal freedom.
