The two had not seen much of each other after coming back from picking rambutans on the mountain, as they all had witnessed that incident, and now felt a bit embarrassed.
But many days had since passed, and the awkwardness had diminished. When Tian Xiaobei saw Xia Dabao, she was clearly thrilled. The first thing she asked was, "Your knee, is it better now?"
"Yes, it's healed. My parents didn't let me go outside these past few days, so I've recovered," Xia Dabao said, her smile as refreshing as the mountain springs.
"That's good. So, you're here to take Xiaocao back?" Tian Xiaobei asked.
"Right, it's time to bring her home. If I don't, she might not recognize her owner anymore," Xia Dabao said.
"Yes, it's time to take her back. Why don't you carry her off now? When my second aunt comes back, I'll let her know," Tian Xiaobei said.
