Da Bao took Cai Xia home.
Cai Xia's mother invited him in for a drink of water, and Da Bao did not refuse.
As soon as he left, Cai Xia presented the gift Zhang Yuxi had given her as if showing off a treasure, as happy as a child. "Mom, look! This is the welcome gift Ah Ping's mom gave me!"
Puzzled, Cai Xia's mother asked, "Don't you already have this book? Is it really worth being this excited?" Although she didn't understand, she was infected by her daughter's laughter and couldn't help but laugh as well.
Cai Xia flipped to the title page. "See? The author's autograph! An actual autograph!"
Her mother's eyes lit up, and she smiled. "That is a nice gift, indeed. I'm glad you like it."
Cai Xia admired it for a long while before her mother pulled her over to ask how the visit went.
"Mom, actually, Ah Ping's mom is a year older than you, but she looks so much younger."
Hearing this, Cai Xia's mother was not pleased. "How is she younger?"
