While the little rascals were gnawing on their corn, Bai Cheng'an casually struck up a conversation with them, garnering a general understanding of their family situations. The children, without reservations, shared their home circumstances with Bai Cheng'an, except for Erhu who sat a bit farther from Bai Cheng'an and didn't say much, just kept his head down and continued to nibble on his corn.
Erhu, known for his rash and reckless nature, should have been eager to chat with Bai Cheng'an! His silence, coupled with a gloomy demeanor, caught Bai Cheng'an's attention, prompting him to give Erhu a couple of extra glances.
