The door swung open, and two mud-caked figures, one tall and one short, appeared before them.
Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao took a big start.
"Grandpa, Grandma."
Chiang Xiao's voice was also slightly hoarse.
But her hand was still tightly held in Meng Xinian's.
"Grandpa, Grandma." Meng Xinian's voice was hoarser than hers.
"Xinian? Little? Oh my goodness, how did you two end up together? And why do you look like this?"
"Come in quick!"
As they entered, Ge Liutao quickly grabbed two towels for them.
"Wipe yourselves off first. What happened?"
"We're coming back from Guan Town," Meng Xinian said, "I haven't bathed for three days." He hadn't bathed for three days, while Chiang Xiao had been through a day and a night of turmoil.
She had a raincoat on at some point, but who knows where it went later on.
She was dirty, he was both dirty and stinky.
"You were in Guan Town, no wait," Chiang Songhai took a big start, looking at Chiang Xiao, "Little, you went there too?"
