"Mm."
The old woman nodded.
"It's very special."
The old woman turned to look at Xiao Xiao.
"You're very special, too."
The old woman's eyes curved into a smile.
"You're a good kid."
"Thank you."
The old woman knew that many people might find her actions incomprehensible after hearing her story...
They might think she was making a fuss over nothing...
She had also prepared herself for this young man to question her.
But she hadn't expected...
To hear something completely beyond her expectations.
Something...
That made her very happy.
Xiao Xiao was slightly taken aback.
Then he smiled.
"Old Grandmother, if you don't mind, may I sit here for a while?"
"Of course."
The old woman answered instinctively. "It's not like this place belongs to me."
The old woman came to her senses.
"You..."
The old woman was a little moved.
"Thank you."
"Did you want to stay with me?"
"Actually, it's all right."
"I've come here more than once or twice."
"I know this place well."
The old woman smiled.
"...I'm used to waiting here, too."
"I don't mind it at all."
"I happen to need somewhere to eat my jianbing guozi."
Xiao Xiao smiled.
"This is a nice place."
"I'd like to finish my jianbing guozi here."
The old woman's lips moved a few times.
In the end, she smiled and nodded. "All right."
She knew that was one reason.
The main reason this kid wanted to stay was because he'd seen her alone...and wanted to keep her company.
What a thoughtful child.
The old woman felt that even if she didn't see her special friend today, meeting this kind young man...
Would still be a warm memory that would bring a smile to her face whenever she thought of it.
