Bai Yu knew that Ye Xiu would definitely follow through with her words, refusing to provide him with food or pocket money, so now he really couldn't do much.
He needed money for the things he wanted to do.
So, he had no choice but to accept.
"I know," Bai Yu said reluctantly. He was compelled by the circumstances; it wasn't because he felt he was in the wrong, for he hadn't made a mistake.
Ye Xiu nodded indifferently and continued to eat. She had to eat more, even more so, since this meal had been prepared by Xingxing.
After the meal, Ye Xiu went to help with the cleanup, Bai Zhi washed the dishes while she rinsed them again with clean water.
At this time, they weren't using detergent but alkali.
It was the edible alkali used for making steamed buns; of course, one could also use ash from burnt plants.
The two of them worked seamlessly together. A sense of joy welled up in Ye Xiu's heart. Was this Xingxing's way of forgiving her?
"Xingxing, why don't you come live with me?"
