"Where's your dad?"
He asked tentatively, "Is Uncle Ou not home?"
"Shh~"
Hearing this, Ou Jingya glanced toward the kitchen and whispered, "Don't you dare bring this up in front of my mom later. Got it?"
"Why not?"
"My dad passed away from an illness a few years ago."
Ou Jingya explained, "I'm worried it'll make her sad again if you remind her."
"..." Xu Yun.
Just then, Wu Jinyan had finished setting the table and called out, "Jingya, Xu Yun, come and eat."
"Okay."
Xu Yun walked into the dining room. There was a long, rectangular marble table that could seat four.
It was covered with dishes.
Xu Yun picked a random seat and sat down across from Ou Jingya.
Wu Jinyan asked with a smile, "Xu Yun, what would you like to drink? Beer, or baijiu?"
"Maybe just juice, like you two."
"That won't do."
Wu Jinyan stood up. "Let's go with the baijiu. I'll go get it for you."
With that, she got up and headed to the storage room.
