「Early the next morning.」
As Xiao Mo stepped out of his room, he saw Jiang Xin walking out with a basin of water.
"Xiao Mo, it's time to wash up and eat."
Jiang Xin said upon seeing him.
She still looked just as dirty as she had the night before.
Xiao Mo had told her to take a bath and offered her some of his own clothes, which were at least clean, but she had refused.
Seeing how nervous she looked, Xiao Mo didn't press the issue.
After they quickly washed up, Jiang Xin brought out breakfast from the kitchen.
The two of them sat in the courtyard, eating breakfast together.
Breakfast was just a simple porridge with plenty of coarse grains and mixed beans, served with a side of pickled vegetables. For two homeless children, however, just having food to eat was a great blessing.
After breakfast, Jiang Xin cleared the table with practiced ease.
Watching Jiang Xin bustle about, Xiao Mo couldn't help but think of the girl in the white dress.
