The Obnoxious Visitor

Red bricks and green tiles. Green trees and red flora. Narrow courtyards were glistening with serenity and elegance.

When Xu Yi stepped foot in the courtyard, Little Qiu was helping Uncle Mu walk out of the main house.

With a night of good rest and after taking two prescribed doses of tonics, Uncle Mu's complexion improved tremendously. He was able to hobble slowly.

When she caught a glimpse of Xu Yi, the young girl shouted: "Hey, Uncle Beard, where are you this early morning? We've been searching for you."

Xu Yi hastened his steps and rubbed Little Qiu's head. "You've been sleeping for quite some time. Haven't you slept enough? Look at the dark black circles on your white face. Here you go, I've brought you some snacks. Eat it quickly before you catch a nap. Do not worry about Grandpa; Uncle Beard is here."

He dangled an exquisite paper box while he rattled it. That was the snack he had brought from Linglong Hall.
