Dubian Che fixed his tousled hair and finished preparing breakfast.
"Little Che, go upstairs and wake Meiji," Mrs. Dubian said while setting the breakfast on the table.
Thinking about Jiutiao Meijie's usual morning grumpiness, and the fact that his family didn't have the custom of saving breakfast, Dubian Che said, "I'll take it up to her."
"Eating in her room?" Dubian Zhi asked in surprise, "Then I'll save it for her and she can heat it up when she wakes."
"No need to go through that trouble."
The breakfast consisted of hot milk, toast with strawberry jam, fried eggs sprinkled with salt, a mixed vegetable soup, and roasted pancakes.
Carefully, Dubian Che placed all these on a wooden tray and cautiously carried it upstairs.
"Meiji, breakfast is ready."
Entering the bedroom, Jiutiao Meijie was curled up under the blanket.
The bedding for Kiyono Lin, which was originally beside her, was now neatly folded and stored in the closet.
