Chapter 13: A Honeyed Mouth

  The morning sunlight shines through the thin curtains, casting a faint lily-shaped shadow on the floor of the house. Outside, there is also the sound of birds chirping clearly.

  On the big bed in the bedroom, a girl who was supposed to be asleep was lying on her stomach. At this quietest time of dawn, she seemed to be experiencing the most painful thing. Her originally pale face was slightly distorted, her mouth open as if she wanted to scream but couldn't make a sound. Her body kept moving, her long fingers clenched into fists. Finally, she let out a cry, and then her whole body seemed to break free from its restraints, rolling under the bed in one motion.

  "Oh no!"

  Yun Shui's body felt a sudden jolt, and she opened her eyes to find herself staring at the large floor-to-ceiling window. She was slightly dazed, seemingly unaware of where she was. After a few seconds, she finally came back to reality - she had been reborn, returning to her youthful years.

  Lying on the ground, the clouds and water did not rise, but his whole body relaxed.

  Just now she had a dream, dreaming of the time when she died in her previous life. The feeling of falling from high altitude was really too scary. Yun Shui thought that this life she would not want to experience such things again. If she didn't want to experience it, then she must work hard to make herself live a good life, can't live like the previous life anymore.

  Yun Shui lay there for a while, the alarm clock on her bedside table rang out, she got up, it was the six o'clock bell, at this time every day, she would get up at this time, wash and go downstairs, her mother would make simple breakfast, all of which were bought from outside, such as buns and fried dough sticks, porridge and congee were cooked by herself, sometimes she would also fry eggs or intestines, whatever Xiang Fang made, the family would eat.

  At this time, Brother Yun Tian was not at home. He went to college and lived on campus, so the third floor became Cloud Water's own world.

  Yunshui walks quietly on the third floor, listening to the soft sounds coming from the second floor, feeling very happy.

  After washing her face, Yun Shui stood in front of the mirror to comb her hair. Looking at her own youthful and tender face, she couldn't help but reveal a big smile. Instantly, her somewhat pale face lit up with a radiant glow. She had long known that she looked especially good when she smiled, it's just that she hadn't been one to smile much in the past. As a young princess, she was a bit arrogant and there were too many things that made her happy, so she gradually got used to it and didn't have much joy left, naturally she wouldn't always be smiling. Later, when misfortune struck, she felt like she had fallen from heaven to hell, she didn't even have time to cry, let alone smile. After she started working, she learned to put on a faint smile, but that kind of smile couldn't reach her eyes, it was just superficial. Where did the bright and charming smile in the mirror come from?

  "Yun Shui, jiayou! This lifetime will be like this smile, even if I have to leave this home, I still want to smile like this!"

  Yun Shui stood in front of the mirror, encouraging herself. She had also thought about whether to stop Shen Zhenzhen from recognizing her parents before, because the current happiness was too intoxicating, and the past pain made her avoid it. She naturally wondered if Shen Zhenzhen didn't recognize her parents, she would be the little princess of the Yun family forever, and never have to repeat that suffering again, everything would change.

  But Yunshui had dispelled that idea before going to sleep yesterday, Shen Zhen was indeed the biological daughter of her parents, she had no right not to let them recognize each other. Let her recognize if she wants to, with those experiences from her past life, she will know how to walk her own path, even as just a foster daughter of the Yun family, she can still protect this family and make herself live well!

  Yunshui now wants to do is to make the most of Shen Zhenzhen and her identity, exchange for a better impression in this family before leaving, so that even if she leaves, she can come back at any time. Of course, there's no need to try hard with Dad and brother, only Mom now.

  "Yunshui! Are you up yet? I've already made breakfast, it's getting cold! If you don't eat it, I'll have to feed those little cats instead!"

  In the residential area where Yunshui lives, there are several stray cats. The residents of the community often put leftover food from their homes in a fixed place, and Fang is also one of them. From this point of view, she is a kind-hearted person.

  It's just that I'm a bit less patient with my daughter. Yun Shui let out an almost inaudible sigh and loudly shouted, "Come here!"

  Took the bag downstairs, Yunshui saw that Yun Jian was not sitting at the dinner table and asked: "Where's Dad?"

  "I knew I'd have to ask your dad, I'm the one who cooks for you. Your dad had something on today and left half an hour ago."

  Xiang Fang glanced at Yun Shui and complained, "Why is it that my daughter is so close to her father? Don't other families have daughters who are closer to their mothers? And don't fathers usually dote on their sons? And what about brothers, shouldn't they be a bit impatient or distant with their sisters? At least that's how it is in her friends' families, why is it different in hers?"

  Yunshui laughed and said, "Of course Mom's cooking is the best, or else why would I eat breakfast at home every day? Dad loves to eat too, but he's not here today, so I'm just asking!"

  Xiang Fang was taken aback, wondering why Yun Shui was talking like that today. If it were any other day, she would have said: "I'm just asking, mom won't even let me ask dad? He's my dad, I want to eat breakfast with him."

  Yunshui sat down and took a sip of the porridge, smiling at Xiangfang with narrowed eyes: "Mom, your porridge is getting better and better, you must have gotten up very early and cooked for a long time, Mom is really hardworking. Although I love drinking it, but Mom's body is more important, beauty sleep is important too. So from now on, just make simple ones."

  Fang's cooking is really good, after all these years, Yunshui eats it again and feels that even the simplest porridge has a lasting aftertaste.

  Xiang Fang felt very comfortable in her heart after hearing this, thinking that her daughter was sweet-talking today and speaking really made people love to listen.

  "Hurry up and eat, or it will get cold soon."

  Xiang Fang was delighted in her heart and didn't say a word, but urged Yun Shui to eat, although her tone was much softer.

  Yunshui has been alive for so many years, done so many jobs that require reading people's faces, and at once she can tell that Xiangfang is happy. Her tone of voice when speaking to her also becomes gentler. She thinks she has succeeded, and from the perspective of this foster mother, she is also someone who can be coaxed. It's just that in the past, she only put her thoughts on Dad and brother, but from now on, she will be more considerate of Mom, and must be able to change the mother-daughter relationship a bit. Even if Shen Zhenzhen comes back later, she won't hate her so much.

  After finishing dinner, Yunshui and Xiangfang said goodbye, and Yunshui even gave Xiangfang a hug before leaving.

  Xiang Fang stood at the door and was stunned for half a day, thinking that the sun had risen in the west today?

  The reason why Yunshui hugged Xiangfang was that she thought Xiangfang hadn't been hugged by her since she understood things, but instead occasionally held her father's and brother's arms, naturally making her seem closer to them than her mother. Xiangfang was jealous because Yunshui had taken away too much of their attention, so didn't she also used to be jealous when her father and brother took away her attention from her mother? In this world, there are very few people who would hate their own daughter, Yunshui thought, definitely it was herself who neglected Xiangfang, that's why she wasn't close to her. From now on, she must get closer to Xiangfang!

  Today is a good start, Yunshui was very happy and greeted the security guard in front of the door again, making that security guard stunned once more.

  After going out, it was a shaded path. Walking out was the highway, where there was a bus stop. Yunshui went there to wait for the bus. The car hadn't stopped yet, and he heard a voice from inside the window shouting loudly at Yunshui.

  Yunshui looked up and suddenly remembered that this was a friend she used to have, although it was a boy, but they were the most innocent of friends. This boy had also died young in his past life. Now looking at him, Yunshui was stunned for a moment, then the smile on her face grew even bigger.

  Thank you for waiting, dear. The peach blossom fan and two sachets have arrived. I'm currently revising the later plot, and will update once it's done. Hugs.
