"Yes." Second Auntie nodded numbly, her eyes fixed on the walking Jing Qi.
'Thank the heavens, fate has been kind to Jing Qi.' This was out in public, so Second Auntie only dared to repeat this silently in her heart.
Jie Jingchen helped Jing Qi onto a bicycle, and Qin Xiang rode off. Jing Qi gripped Qin Xiang's clothes tightly with one hand, turning his head to wave at Second Auntie. "Second Auntie."
Second Auntie called back in acknowledgment and raised her hand to wave at Jing Qi.
Qin Mei walked over to Jie Jingchen and got on the bicycle. Jie Jingchen called out to Second Auntie, then rode the bike home.
Second Auntie sniffled, wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeve.
Back home, Jie Jingshan went to her room, and Qin Mei went to hers as well. Jie Jingchen pulled Qin Xiang into the kitchen.
"Jing Si, I'm a guest," Qin Xiang said with resignation. He hated going into the kitchen whenever Jing Si was around.
