Lunch lasted not long.

Both old men yawned one after another, indicating that they were sleepy.

Xiao Xiao would naturally not be invisible.

…

"Thank you for the invitation."

“The lunch was delicious.”

Xiao Xiao stopped and turned around to say goodbye to the two old men who escorted him to the door.

"I am leaving."

"I'm disturbing you today."

…

The two old men didn't look very good.

"Duh~duh~"

The old man's crutch hit the ground again and again.

"...It's hard for you to have dinner with us."

Their original intention was that the young man listened to them patiently and it happened to be lunch time, so they invited him to stay for lunch.

did not think of……

The atmosphere at the dinner table was so bad.

It's all their fault.

All said and done, there are some unpleasant contents.

Moreover, they hadn’t even eaten much... He and the old woman started to yawn one after another.

In the eyes of ordinary people, doesn't this mean chasing away guests?

But they really didn't mean it.

They couldn't control their mental exhaustion.

Fortunately, classmate Xiao didn't think too much.

Moreover, although the meal lasted only a short time, Xiao Xiao really did what they said at the beginning and almost wiped out all the dishes.

They were happy and a little surprised at the same time.

Classmate Xiao looked thin and tall, but he didn't expect to have such a good appetite.

He is indeed a young man.

While feeling emotional, the old man was inevitably a little envious.

He used to love to eat.

But recently, his appetite has become smaller and smaller.

He is psychologically dissatisfied.

His stomach protested.

There was nothing he could do.

…

Classmate Xiao's performance also made them truly believe that he was not dissatisfied with them.

This gave them some comfort.

Otherwise, if something they originally did with the intention of thanking them received the opposite feedback, wouldn’t their efforts have been in vain?

…

The old lady pursed her lips.

"Classmate Xiao, just think you've heard about us."

"Don't take it too seriously."

"We are chatting with the two elderly people who want to thank you for accompanying us."

They haven't chatted like this with young people for a long time.

My son... comes less frequently because of his wife.

Even if I come every time, I don't stay long.

Besides, they won't tell their sons these things.

Wouldn't that cause trouble for my son?

"I'm also glad you like my cooking."

Classmate Xiao almost ate all the food she cooked, which really gave her a sense of accomplishment.

Lele's accident made her doubt herself.

She knew she was overthinking...but she couldn't help herself from thinking so...

She felt...everyone was blaming her...blaming her for her dereliction of duty...it was useless...

…

Who says it’s not?

Anyone who heard the whole story of Lele's accident would think that it was their fault.

They themselves think so too.

This matter is irrefutable.

However, in other aspects...she can get some positive feedback...

She... felt very happy.

It seems that even the heavy heart has become a little lighter.

…

Xiao Xiao could feel the eyes of the two old men falling on his back.

It wasn't until he turned the corner that the "burning heat" behind him dissipated.

…

The bluestone road gave off a faint chill.

The already quiet alley became even quieter due to the cold temperature.

It seems like they are two different worlds from the busy street outside.

Xiao Xiao stopped and pushed open the courtyard door.

…

"Tweet~"

Xiao Xiao's warm welcome made Xiao Xiao curl up his lips.

…

The courtyard is not much warmer than the alley.

On the contrary, it makes it even more chilly.

However, people who are fragrant with the fragrance of flowers forget this coldness, and the plum blossoms in front of them make people feel even more ecstatic.

...

"Master Xiao Xiao."

The ethereal voice, unstained by any smoke or dust, reached Xiao Xiao's ears.

The elegant plum girl walked towards him slowly.

...

After a simple greeting, Plum Girl will return to the plum tree-

"Plum Girl."

Xiao Xiao opened his mouth to stop the monster that was about to disappear.

...

Plum Girl turned around.

"Master Xiao Xiao, is there something wrong?"

...

"Um."

Xiao Xiao took out the jewelry from his pocket.
