During this period, Su Mu had gone back to the old house three times, not knowing if it was tacit agreement, they never ran into each other. When grandmother asked about Fu Shinian, she would only excuse it as being busy. Fortunately, grandmother didn't ask further, nor did she suspect anything, unaware if Fu Shinian had said something similar to the old lady.
Su Mu went to teach Wen Shaoyuan as usual, and the little guy was still very affectionate with her. Perhaps because of his previous runaway from home, Su Mu started to see Zhou Yaxian around the house more frequently. She even made an effort to express her desire to visit the old lady at the old house, wanting to personally thank her for the care she had shown Wen Shaoyuan.
Su Mu asked grandmother about it, but the old lady declined, saying that as people age, they tend to enjoy the company of others more, yet Su Mu noticed that the old lady seemed to be increasingly disinclined to entertain.
