「The next day.」
On the morning of Tomb-Sweeping Day, a light rain drizzled continuously, its droplets striking the tiled roofs with a crisp patter.
Ruan Tang woke up very early.
She stretched and called out, "Grandma."
Only after the word left her lips did she remember, and her expression turned gloomy for a moment.
Even though this was an Obsession Barrier, she knew her grandmother had passed away long ago. All of it was just a dream, merely a dream.
"Awake?" Xu Lai poked his head in from outside and smiled. "Get washed up and eat. Ruan Lan and Yiyi are already ready and waiting for you at the door."
Ruan Tang said nothing. She stared at Xu Lai's face, bit her lower lip hard, and said, "Xu Lai, thank you for letting me see Grandma again."
"There's no need for such politeness between us. Hurry up and get out of bed." Xu Lai pulled back the covers and urged her, "The rain is about to get heavier."
"Then you can just make it stop," Ruan Tang said, blinking coquettishly at him.
