"Firebird..." Mu Anhan called out to him.

He was still dressed in white, standing out prominently in the school.

He was always watching the scene of the children playing, his gaze somewhat saddened, yet occasionally bright.

"Miss Mu..." Firebird nodded slightly to her.

Mu Anhan looked at him and smiled lightly, "Are you here to pick up the children?"

"I’m here to deliver some things to the school," Firebird said.

Mu Anhan nodded, "I’m here to pick up the children."

As she was speaking, Gu Yao and Gu Yu both ran up to her.

"Mom..."

"Mom..."

The two children hugged her long legs from both sides, their excitement upon seeing her far surpassed all they had experienced at kindergarten that day.

Mu Anhan crouched down, kissing her son and then her daughter, "Were you good at school today?"

"Very good." Gu Yu immediately said, "Mom, I want to eat spicy strips."

Gu Yao informed Mu Anhan, "Today a little friend brought spicy strips to school to eat and gave one to my sister; she thought it was really tasty."

"Dad doesn’t allow us to eat those." Mu Anhan laughed.

Gu Yu’s little face suddenly scrunched up, "Mom, let’s eat it secretly and not tell Dad..."

Gu Yao quickly added, "I didn’t hear anything..."

"Let’s go! We’ll eat it secretly outside before going home." Mu Anhan stood up, holding the hands of her two children on either side.

"Wow, awesome!" Gu Yu cheered.

Once she finished cheering, she saw Firebird, "Mom, this uncle has been watching us..."

Mu Anhan introduced, "Yu Er, Yao Yao, this is a friend of mommy’s, Firebird."

As she spoke, she also introduced her pair of twins to Firebird.

Firebird looked at them, "Miss Mu, your daughter really resembles you."

"Yes!" Mu Anhan nodded, "Although they are twins, my daughter looks like me and my son looks like their father. Firebird, we’re heading out now!"

"Bye-bye!" Firebird bid them farewell.

As Mu Anhan took the two children away, he too stepped out of the school quickly.

Mu Anhan drove the car, went nearby, and bought spicy strips.

The three sat in the car and started eating.

Mu Anhan was so spicy she cried tears.

She used tissues to wipe the tears, but they kept flowing.

She didn’t eat much of the spicy strips, but the tears flowed abundantly.

She didn’t know if the tears were caused by the spicy strips or if it was because of Pei Zhe that she found an outlet to vent.

Her memories hadn’t returned; the Pei Zhe from Xue Xiangtong’s words was still the spirited young man.

"Mom is really weak; just a little bit of spice made her cry." Gu Yu said to her brother.

Gu Yao was considerate, he took the spicy strips from Mu Anhan’s hand, "Mom, if you can’t eat, then don’t..."

Mu Anhan cried and laughed at the same time, "Mom can’t handle spicy food, it is indeed weak, you two should eat less too."

She didn’t know why she wanted to cry; even though Xue Xiangtong spoke of Pei Zhe’s matter, she was especially calm then, shedding no tears.

But at this moment, eating spicy strips made her cry.

She cried very sadly for a moment.

The two children stopped eating, looking at each other, wondering why mom was increasingly upset.

But they both used tissues to wipe her tears.

"Mom, don’t cry, I won’t laugh at you..." Gu Yu consoled, "Actually, not being able to eat spicy, doesn’t matter..."

Gu Yao nodded, "Mom, you stay in the car, I’ll go buy you some candy..."
