"Everything has changed beyond recognition."
Zhuge Yun shook his head.
No matter how you looked at it, the chances that Grandma Tian would see the person she longed for again... were almost zero.
Everyone fell silent for a while.
"Forget it."
Zhang Bo leaned back against the table.
"Let's not worry about all this."
"The point was never what we thought."
"It's what Grandma Tian wants to do."
"As long as Grandma Tian is happy with it, that's all that matters."
"Mm."
Zhuge Yun and Zhao Luzheng nodded.
Xiao Xiao's lips curved into a smile.
That was right.
Grandma Tian's wishes came first.
That day, Zhuge Yun came back from outside.
He walked over to the group, who were huddled together for reasons he didn't know.
"Hey."
Zhuge Yun called out, drawing their attention.
"Guess who I just saw outside—"
"Who?"
Zhang Bo reflexively asked.
He abruptly turned to look behind him.
Zhao Luzheng was startled too.
He jerked back a little.
Xiao Xiao had noticed Zhuge Yun as soon as he approached.
He hadn't expected Zhang Bo and Zhao Luzheng to be startled.
"What are you doing?"
Zhuge Yun looked completely innocent.
"I didn't scare you."
"You're the ones who overreacted."
"And you, Eldest Brother."
Zhuge Yun's eyes widened slightly.
"You couldn't even recognize my voice?"
Wasn't that going a bit too far?
And then he asked who it was?
Zhang Bo gave an awkward laugh.
It had happened so suddenly that his brain hadn't had time to catch up.
"Second Brother, what is it?"
Zhao Luzheng silently changed the subject.
He also sat up straight.
"I was saying..."
Zhuge Yun didn't hold their little interruption against them.
He continued what he'd been saying.
"Guess who I saw outside?"
