At Their Respective Homes

But the person delivering food hadn't brought any for Luo Ye and Ouyang Mingyue.

Seeing this, the neighbor froze slightly and asked in surprise, "Are you... Xiao Ye? You're back?"

"Yeah."

Luo Ye smiled, not particularly concerned about whether he had dinner or not.

The neighbor was a kind man. Seeing that there were two extra people in the Luo family today and that the food he had brought was clearly not enough, he prepared to go back and bring over more.
