Su Qing nodded.
He smiled. "That's right, I came to see you."
He patted Su Shang's head.
"So, do you find this little hardship difficult?"
"It's manageable," Su Shang nodded.
Her previous mental exhaustion immediately began to ease.
"The day after tomorrow, Mom and Dad are getting discharged from the hospital, so things won't be so hectic for me anymore."
'No wonder they're so busy.' Su Shang suddenly understood why her parents were so often away from home.
She had been taking care of so many people in the family all at once.
She also felt incredibly tired.
"It's okay."
"It's all in the past now."
Su Qing patted the little one's head.
Su Shang didn't resist; in fact, she seemed to enjoy it a little.
After a moment, Su Qing smiled. "I'm going into seclusion soon."
"Seclusion?"
"You mean like the other ancestors, hiding in a house for years without eating or drinking?"
"Something like that." Su Qing nodded. "That's why I came to see you one last time."
