"Be good."
"Of course I'm being good. Uncle told me I wasn't allowed to cry and said he'd bring me gifts when he came back to China, so I didn't cry… I slept till noon, woke up, drank the porridge Uncle cooked for me, washed the bowl, tidied up the place a bit, then came back here to my mom and dad's.
Then in the afternoon I kept my mom company watching TV, in the evening we ate at home, and only then did I go out to play.
When I came back I even washed my face and put on a face mask, I was all ready to sleep, and then Uncle video-called me. Super well-behaved kind of vibe."
Listening to her, Li Yanchen felt a wave of sourness in his chest.
"Mm, very good."
"Then Uncle has to be good too, okay? When you're away, don't miss me too much, focus on your work, finish up early and come back early… and you have to take care of your health, eat properly, sleep properly, balance work and rest… you're not allowed to run yourself into the ground.
