Walking out of the bedroom, she went to pour herself a glass of water.
Sister-in-law Zheng also got up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom. Passing by the kitchen, she happened to see Bai Lu standing there, pouring water and seemingly lost in thought. She walked over and said, "Do you have to work tomorrow?"
Upon hearing the voice, Bai Lu quickly placed the kettle on the kitchen table. She turned around, saw it was Sister-in-law Zheng, and asked, "Can't sleep, Auntie?"
"Oh, why call me Auntie?" With no one else around, Sister-in-law Zheng inadvertently reverted to the way she used to speak to Bai Lu when she was a child. Her chatterbox was opened, and she spoke without reservation, laughing, "Just call me Sister Wang as before."
