Dongling City.
The Liu Family.
Jiang Yiming walked through the Liu Family backyard, holding Xiao Doubao's hand.
Even though the place was a riot of purples and reds, with a hundred flowers in full bloom, he still had no heart to admire it.
He had come to the Liu Family, which was also his own Grandfather's Home, but he felt rather uncomfortable.
If this had been when he was little, he would have cried and made a fuss to go home.
