Shen Mianmian chuckled softly and explained to He Nan, "Little kids always think they're the boss."
But He Nan pretended not to understand and asked, "Why don't you want to go to his house for New Year's again?"
Shen Mianmian didn't overthink it and told the truth, "You've caught a cold, and I don't feel at ease leaving you alone at home. Lu Siyuan always spends New Year's with Grandpa, so it doesn't make much difference whether I'm there or not. I'll just go and give my greetings on the second day of the New Year. Besides, if I really went to his house for the New Year, people in the village would certainly start gossiping again."
So, not going to Lu Siyuan's house for New Year's was also good, sparing them the idle gossip, and she could take care of big brother He. They'd keep each other company and wouldn't feel too lonely.
