Only when you have enough energy can you give a good slap in the face.

Jiang Xue slept for over an hour, and when she woke up, it was already three o’clock. She opened her eyes, checked the time, and realized it was so late.

So, she immediately got up from the bed, entered the space directly, and headed towards the pavilion. In the pavilion, Little Fox was playing the piano. Of course, it wasn’t High Mountain and Flowing Water, but another piece, Spring Flowers Autumn Moon.

Jiang Xue naturally couldn’t tell, she only knew the tune was very pleasant. Seeing Jiang Xue coming, Little Fox then stopped and said, "You’re awake." 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

"Little Fox, why didn’t you wake me up? Now I’ve slept so late."

"You’ve been under a lot of stress lately; a little more sleep is good for you." After saying this, Little Fox stood up from the bench and returned to its original form.

Hearing Little Fox say this, Jiang Xue didn’t say much, and casually asked, "What was the tune you just played? It sounded great."

"Want to learn? I’ll teach you after the school celebration."

"Sure!" Jiang Xue nodded, then earnestly began playing High Mountain and Flowing Water.

From a little past three until a little past six, Jiang Xue played for three whole hours. Although she didn’t quite reach a state of divine harmony with the tune, she was extremely proficient, able to play it with her eyes closed.

Little Fox listened on the side, very satisfied, and said, "That’s enough. You don’t need to practice any more, it’s more than enough for tomorrow’s school celebration."

"Really? Then I can take a break." Jiang Xue smiled, then stood up, stretching her hands and feet. Sitting for three hours is quite tiring.

"Go on, Little Tuantuan is probably looking for you." Little Fox said with a smile, feeling that Jiang Xue’s level was quite impressive; while not at a master’s level, it believed she could handle it.

Hearing that her son was looking for her, Jiang Xue didn’t linger in the space any longer and directly flashed out, heading downstairs.

In the downstairs hall, Little Reunion was crawling on the floor. Hearing the commotion on the stairs, he looked up. When he saw Jiang Xue coming down, he became excited and quickly crawled towards her.

Father Jiang and Mrs. Jiang watched without stopping him, letting him crawl from the carpet to the edge of the staircase to wait for Jiang Xue.

"Son, did you miss mommy?" Jiang Xue smiled, picking up Little Reunion and kissing his little cheeks several times. Then she carried him over to the sofa.

Sitting with her son, Mrs. Jiang looked at her and asked, "When did you come back? How come we didn’t know?"

"I came back after lunch, there’s no class this afternoon with the school celebration tomorrow." Jiang Xue explained briefly, then started playing with her son.

The mother and son played for a while until it was past six. Niu came out from the kitchen, saying, "Young Mistress, Madam, Master, dinner is ready."

"Alright, thank you, Sister-in-law Niu." Jiang Xue smiled, thanking Niu, and then carried her son to the dining room.

After dinner, Little Reunion clung to Jiang Xue again, wanting to play with her.

Thinking she didn’t need to practice piano in the evening, Jiang Xue didn’t refuse and took her son upstairs. Father Jiang and Mrs. Jiang watched them and went out for a walk.

Leaving the house, they ran into Lu Jintian. That afternoon, Lu Jintian’s subordinates had already investigated most of Jiang Xue’s information.

He learned that Father Jiang and Mrs. Jiang were Jiang Xue’s adoptive parents, and knew they had a habit of walking after meals, so he purposely waited in the community park, appearing to bump into them by chance.
