Everyone Has A Painful Childhood

The estate by the Yanming Lake had not been completely torn down and rebuilt, but many places had been refurbished. The main hall, reception and the study had been completely redone. The heavy beam above the hall had been painted over, so it shouldn't have accumulated too much dust. However, flecks of dust started raining upon them. It was hard to imagine how hard Chen Pipi had knocked on the beam when he had leapt into the air like a startled rabbit.

Chen Pipi had left the spacious main hall, but the swirling air he left behind remained. Ning Que sat by the table holding his bowl of porridge and felt the sticky wet mess on his face. He wanted badly to smash his bowl to the floor.
