The first watch of the night had begun.
--------
Chuxia took Yingying to Elder Wan's place first, not just to let him know about the dinner at the Zhou family that evening, but also because when she lived with the Zhou family, she always made sure to visit Old Master Wan before heading to work.
At the doorway, Yingying shrank behind Chuxia, appearing somewhat timid.
Chuxia comforted her by rubbing her head, "Great Grandpa Wan is very kind. When he sees a pretty and cute little girl like Yingying, he will surely like her. But remember to greet him, Yingying. People like children who are polite, right?"
"Mhm!" The little girl nodded vigorously, grinning at Chuxia, "Auntie, I'll listen to you."
"Good girl." Chuxia praised her, then pushed the door open and saw a familiar figure sitting with his back to her. As the person turned around, she realized it was indeed Zhou Mikang.
