The closer it came to parting, the less Xia Dabao knew what to say to Tian Xiaobei. She was a lady who wore her heart on her sleeve and didn't know how to hide her feelings. The thought that after Xiaobei left, aside from family, there would be few people left to talk to, filled her with a sense of dreary dispiritedness.
Xiaobei's excitement had already begun to fade, and seeing Xia Dabao's demeanor, he felt equally pained.
He thought that in the future, he must take good care of this lady.
...
After dinner, Tian Xiaobei went to Auntie Zhao's to say goodbye.
He had already retrieved the jade pendant, so the only attachment he had left there was Auntie Zhao.
