Ye Xi was out to take out the trash, her long hair casually tied up, wearing an old white T-shirt with khaki shorts. The front half of the T-shirt was tucked into the shorts, the back loose and casual, and on her feet were a pair of light blue slippers.
After tossing the trash, she didn't look up but turned around and went back into the yard.
Grandma Ye tied the leftover vegetables together, hanging them on the rack to dry.
Ye Xi was just about to help when her phone inside the house began to ring.
She said, "Grandma, just set it aside for now. I'll come out and dry it in a bit. It's so hot, you should go inside and rest."
As she spoke, she headed inside, hurrying to answer the phone.
Just as Ye Xi entered the house, the courtyard gate was pushed open from the outside.
Grandma Ye didn't pay much attention at first, not until Lu Lingxiao stepped in and she looked up inadvertently, noticing him.
