Chapter 823: Chapter 823: Reminders With a smile in her voice, Mrs. Qi sat on the sofa holding the phone, her eyes filled with maternal love. "You’re really not coming over?" Kang Li’s tone was dejected. Mrs. Qi: "Darling, you know your godmother is afraid of the cold." "Alright then." Hearing the low mood in Kang Li’s voice, Mrs. Qi laughed: "Feeling wronged? Li Bao, you’re all grown up now, surely you don’t still need godmother to hold and comfort you, do you?" "No, no, I’m not feeling wronged, godmother, you must have heard wrong. Okay then, I’ll come visit you later!" Kang Li’s tone quickly turned cheerful, and she said with a chuckle. Mrs. Qi: "I think your mom is right, sometimes you’re really stubborn!" Kang Li’s eyelids twitched, feeling embarrassed, she sped up her speech: "I’m very well-behaved, goodbye, godmother." As Mrs. Qi on the other end said "Goodbye," Kang Li didn’t say another word and ended the call. She couldn’t help but covertly glance to see if Kang Guoan and the others were watching her, and finding no one paying attention, she quietly breathed a sigh of relief and went to the kitchen to help serve the dishes. Red bean porridge with white steamed buns, accompanied by stir-fried meat with green peppers, vinegar-laced shredded potatoes, stir-fried garlic scapes with meat, and Mapo tofu. Due to the number of people, every dish was plentiful. After the lively dinner, Kang Guoan took the lead, and the young men quickly cleared the table and went to the kitchen to wash up. Once the kitchen was tidied up, they all returned to the living room. "Auntie, Sister Kang Li, I have to leave, otherwise it’ll be hard to travel in the dark." As the sky darkened, Mo Yan, carrying an army green canvas bag on his shoulder, bid farewell to Cai Xiufen and Kang Li, then turned his gaze to Kang Guoan, Kang Yiyang, Song Xuan, and Min Rui, saying with a smile, "Goodbye, it’s cold outside, no need to see me off." Song Xuan said a bit shyly, "I have to get back too, I’ll see you off." "Mom, I’ll go see Mo Yan and Xuan Xuan off, you all stay inside." Looking at her mom and younger brother Kang Guoan and the others, Kang Li said as she followed behind Mo Yan and Song Xuan out of the living room. Outside the courtyard gate. "Sister Kang Li, it’s really cold today, you can stop here, go back inside and warm up, I ride fast." With a Lei Feng hat on his head, a mask covering his face, a scarf wrapped around him, and gloves protecting his hands, Mo Yan still felt a bit cold standing in the open air and didn’t want Kang Li to catch a chill, so he stopped her from seeing him out of the courtyard. "Walking will keep me warm." Kang Li was also fully bundled up, only her eyes exposed, yet a smile could be seen in her fox-like eyes: "Stop dawdling, let’s go." With that, she motioned to Song Xuan to follow. Mo Yan had no choice but to push his bicycle forward. A few minutes later, Kang Li said to Song Xuan, "You head straight home, Auntie will see Mo Yan to the gate of the courtyard." Song Xuan shook his head and said, "Together." With the young boy not taking his eyes off her, what else could Kang Li say? Helplessness flickered in her beautiful eyes as she nodded, "Alright." The three of them continued onward, during which Kang Li chatted with Mo Yan while Song Xuan quietly walked alongside, listening. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶 "You’ll be entering the exam hall next Saturday, make sure to take care of yourself and don’t catch a cold by accident. Also, be cautious about the safety of the heating stove, don’t close the windows too tightly, and carefully check the connections of the heating pipes..." As they left the courtyard, Kang Li softly instructed Mo Yan, her expression serious, which deeply moved Mo Yan. He continually gave assurances before riding off into the distance under the gaze of Kang Li and Song Xuan. "Auntie, I’ll do well in the exams."
