"Yining, we siblings can return home without getting lost," Xu Nianhua felt that Pei Yicheng and his sister were only offering to send them home because they wanted to accompany them.
"I spend every New Year's Eve with Grandfather."
Pei Yicheng's gaze lingered on Xu Nianhua's face, filled with boundless sympathy. He had lived in Gaoliang County for so many years, yet it wasn't until last summer that he had met her.
"I sometimes spend New Year's with Grandfather too. This year, I'll be keeping him company. Having a companion is just perfect." Pei Yining, while holding Xu Nianhua's hand, whispered into her ear, "Nianhua, don't you want to go back with us?"
"Of course not," Xu Nianhua immediately denied, worried that they were insisting on returning to South City just to accompany them. Since they had been planning to spend the New Year with Grandfather anyway, there was nothing more to discuss.
