"...you made plans to go out with friends over the weekend, and it ended up being a trip to buy groceries?"
"Yes, that's right."
Xu Xiangyang answered sheepishly.
"Is that a problem?"
"No problem... it's just that..."
"No, it wasn't just buying groceries." Lin Xingjie added from the side, "After that, we also went to sing at a KTV. It was my first time, and it was quite interesting."
"Hehe, did the three of you go together?"
"Mhm."
Li Qinglian squinted her eyes, sizing up Xu Xiangyang from head to toe with an incredulous expression as if she was seeing her usually well-behaved and obedient younger brother in a new light.
Xu Xiangyang felt a bit uncomfortable being scrutinized.
"Don't just stand in the doorway, let me in; I'm planning to cook."
While speaking, Xu Xiangyang shrugged his shoulders and ducked his head, attempting to squeeze past her.
Li Qinglian grabbed his collar roughly, messing up the boy's hair in the process, but she eventually let him into the house.
