When Hai Xiaotang exited her grandfather's room to the living room, she saw Hai Lan sitting on the couch.
She was slightly surprised as she thought everyone had left.
Hai Lan, who was flipping through a magazine, looked up at her and asked with concern, "Is grandfather okay?"
"He's fine," Hai Xiaotang answered, shaking her head. She then asked with a hint of confusion, "Do you still have something to talk about?"
All the others had left, why was she still here?
Setting her magazine aside, Hai Lan stood up and said, "I do. Starting from today, I'll be living here temporarily, it's my parents' request."
Hai Xiaotang was momentarily stunned.
Truth be told, facing this strange cousin of hers, she couldn't deny there was an air of unease.
And now Hai Lan was going to live here...
The feeling of discomfort welled up within Hai Xiaotang even more.
But she knew, Hai Lan had every right to live here.
Hai Xiaotang nodded, "You should stay here, after all, we are one family."
