If they suddenly became close, they would feel awkward, and the old man would feel uncomfortable too.
As long as they were all doing well, he could rest easy.
Xiao Xiao walked out of the hospital building.
Bright sunlight streamed down.
The sky was clear and bright.
You could hardly tell it had been gloomy earlier.
Only the raindrops on the blades of grass bore witness to the downpour.
"Student Xiao!"
A familiar voice.

Gu Xiao Tang looked surprised. "Student Xiao, how did you know?"
Xiao Xiao felt helpless.
"You told me yourself last time."

"I don't remember at all."
"How did the follow-up go?"
Xiao Xiao asked.
Gu Xiao Tang made an OK sign.
"No problem."
Xiao Xiao smiled.
He stopped walking. "I'm heading back to school."
Huh?
Gu Xiao Tang looked up.
