"Aunt Keiko told me. I'm sorry, Liu Zhenghong."
"That afternoon, can you play with me? We can eat lots of delicious food!" Eve said with a smile.
Mirai quickly nodded. He also wanted to try the food at the shops he had seen before. He wondered how it compared to Keiko's cooking.
"But first, I need to talk to Aunt Keiko. Otherwise, she'll worry about me," Mirai said with a smile.
"Of course. We can eat at your sister's house, and I'll drive you back tonight."
Hearing Eve's words, Mirai looked troubled. "Huh? But I have plans with the other children. I wanted to play with them after dinner. If I don't go, they might worry."
"Hmm..." Eve thought for a moment, then smiled. "That's fine. Once you finish eating at your sister's house, I'll take you straight to the place where you arranged to meet your friends."
"Really? Thank you, Sister Hong," Mirai said happily.
"Aunt Keiko, can I go out with Sister Hong? I'll come back tonight," Mirai asked after discussing it with Eve. He ran over to ask Keiko for her opinion.
Keiko nodded at Eve. After exchanging greetings, she smiled and said, "Of course. But don't cause trouble for anyone else. And be careful, understood?"
"Thank you, Aunt Keiko. I'll remember," Mirai said with a smile.
"Thank you, Keiko. Then I'll take Mirai out to play. I'll bring him back tonight," Eve said with a smile.
Keiko politely replied, "Please do."
When he saw them leave hand in hand, Haku immediately roared at Mirai, as though reminding him of their morning promise.
"Okay, okay. I won't forget you this time. Come with me." Mirai bent down, stroked Haku's head, and smiled.
Eve was very familiar with the village. She took Mirai to several tasty snack shops
