After dinner, the two of them went downstairs together.
Once downstairs, Uncle Yuan braced against the biting cold wind, standing in front of the car, he opened the rear passenger door for Xiang Wan, his hand guarding the upper edge.
Shi Nian'an had decided to drive herself to school and waved at Xiang Wan before walking ahead.
As Xiang Wan settled into the car, she unintentionally caught sight of Uncle Yuan's clothes, which were the same as the day before. She paused, "Did you keep watch all night?"
Uncle Yuan replied at his own pace, "Wherever the young miss is, that is where I'll be."
After all, Uncle Yuan had accompanied Xiang Wan as she grew up over many years.
This raised a tinge of guilt in Xiang Wan's heart, but irritation as well, "I've told you to go back and rest. Without proper rest, how will you have the energy to drive me? What if something happens on the road?"
