Lian Manman sat there, watching Xiao Qi practice his calligraphy, occasionally tilting her ear to listen to Mr. Loo's explanations inside.
After a while, the door to the study was pushed open, and Lady Zhang entered from outside.
"Manman, why are you here?" Lady Zhang came over, sat on the edge of the kang, and asked softly.
"I came to bring hot tea to Mr. Loo, my brother, and Xiao Qi," Lian Manman replied. "Mother, are you making late-night snacks again?"
"Yes, it's about to be served. I asked your father to watch over it in the kitchen while I came to check in." Lady Zhang glanced into the inner room and asked, "Can we bring it over now?"
Lian Manman, having listened to Mr. Loo's lesson just moments ago, reckoned it would soon be wrapping up, so she nodded to Lady Zhang.
