Her family was in another city, a thousand miles away.
"Then why don't you call your family and tell them about what's been happening lately..."
The old woman suggested it to the short-haired girl.
The short-haired girl was more confused than ever.
There was nothing wrong with the suggestion.
It was perfectly normal.
But for her to suggest this now...
A flash of inspiration struck the short-haired girl.
"You think there's something wrong with me!?"
"No."
The old woman immediately shook her head.
"I just think you should keep in touch with your family more."
"Leilei and I don't see each other often, but we still send messages."
"She'll tell me what she's thinking of eating."
"She'll tell me that the next time she comes to visit, she'll buy twice as many treats for us two old folks."
There was nothing wrong with Leilei.
The short-haired girl opened her mouth.
For a moment, she didn't know what to say.
She thought she should give up.
She...
Regretted it a little.
She shouldn't have come today.
In the old woman's eyes, she must have made a very bad impression.
Of course.
A stranger had come up to you and told you there was something wrong with your granddaughter...
Who would be happy about that?
It was already very kind of the old woman to patiently listen to her for so long.
The short-haired girl smiled bitterly.
Forget it.
The short-haired girl felt a little dispirited.
She was sticking her nose where it didn't belong...
Maybe she really was overthinking it...
The short-haired girl pressed her lips together.
She was about to take her leave. "I—"
Her voice cut off abruptly.
She had thought of something.
"Have you seen Leilei recently?"
The short-haired girl blurted it out.
