Father Chen suddenly turned his head.
"What's wrong?"
"Why did you suddenly get so loud?"
"Sorry..."
Chen Xi lowered her head.
"...It's all right."
Mother Chen carefully examined her child.
"But you..."
"Are you really all right?"
"If anything's wrong, you have to tell Dad and Mom. We..."
"I'm really fine."
Chen Xi shook her head.
"I just almost tripped over something. This granny caught me."
"Oh."
Mother Chen's brows immediately knitted with concern.
So that was it.
No wonder the girl didn't look well.
She must have been frightened.
"You need to be more careful when you walk."
"You're already..."
Like this...
"And you still don't pay any attention..."
Mother Chen muttered.
She had censored one of the words herself.
"Mm."
Chen Xi nodded obediently.
What a heartwarming scene of mother and daughter getting along.
But the old woman standing beside them was utterly baffled.
She looked at the blind girl.
Deep wrinkles etched the corners of her eyes.
Why?
This girl... was lying...
"Thank you."
Mother Chen turned to the old woman and thanked her.
"No..."
The old woman replied instinctively.
She hadn't caught the girl at all.
Because... the girl hadn't fallen.
What was going on?
The old woman felt a little dizzy.
She was getting old.
Her mind couldn't handle too much strain.
The old woman looked at the girl.
Chen Xi looked at her mother.
Mother Chen's lips curved into a smile.
All her doubts had been cleared up.
The girl must have been so shaken after nearly falling that she hadn't heard her calling.
"Let's go."
Father Chen had already walked a couple of steps ahead.
Noticing that the others hadn't followed, he turned and called to them.
"Coming."
Mother Chen answered.
