"It's getting dark."
"You should go home."
"Otherwise, your family will worry."
The boy had only come here today by chance. He hadn't told his family beforehand.
He still needed to get home on time.
The boy's lips parted and closed.
He wanted to say something.
But he was so conflicted that he couldn't get anything out.
He wanted to see Ya Ya.
But he didn't want to make his mother worry about him, either.
What should he do?
The boy was very frustrated.
Why did he have to face another multiple-choice question?
He hated these kinds of choices.
He'd finally gotten the chance to see Ya Ya...
Was he still going to miss it?
The boy clenched his fists.
"Spirit Maple."
Xiao Xiao looked toward the Maple Tree.
The white-haired spirit appeared.
Xiao Xiao smiled.
"We'll head back for today."
"If she comes tomorrow, let me know."
"Of course."
"If it's during the day, when we can visit."
If it was at night, then never mind.
"Let me know if she comes during the day."
"We'll come by."
Spirit Maple nodded.
"All right."
The boy abruptly lifted his head.
Huh!?
We...?
His face lit up with delight.
That meant he still had a chance... to see Ya Ya... right?
"Yes."
Xiao Xiao smiled.
He was just about to say something when he seemed to sense something and turned his head.
The old man and the old woman came over.
"Master Xiao, why don't you stay for dinner?"
"Thank you."
Xiao Xiao smiled and waved his hand. "But we'll pass this time."
"He came out without telling his family."
Xiao Xiao looked at the boy.
"So he needs to get home on time."
"His family is waiting for him to have dinner."
