"Sorry, sorry, it was presumptuous of me. You're still high school students, and academic performance is of utmost importance. Don't worry about our family affairs," he paused, then added, "However, after the college entrance exams are over, you could make a trip here. If you manage to achieve good results, my parents will surely be happy. By then, I might have graduated and found a job, so we can all celebrate together."
Regrettably, he thought, the issue wasn't about time or energy at all.
If this had been earlier, the suggestion of visiting the two elders occasionally would have been welcomed by both him and Xing Jie. But now...
Xu Xiangyang didn't pick up that conversational thread, remaining silent for a moment before he asked.
"What are your plans after graduation, Brother Le?"
"I think I'll probably return to Jinjiang City..."
Zhao Le's words were cut off halfway as he stopped in his tracks. He called out towards the entrance:
"We're back!"
