Possibly due to catching a cold, Granny Du covered her mouth and coughed twice before raising her head and kindly saying to Yu Qiao Qiao, "Qiao Qiao, why did you come back today?"
The pair, clearly having a close relationship, saw Qiao Qiao immediately close the door upon hearing Granny cough. She set aside her things, came over to support Granny, gently patted her back, and then said, somewhat plaintively,
"This is my home. Can't I come back?"
"What about you, Granny? What brought on this sudden cough?"
Granny Du, the head of the orphanage, chuckled and replied, "Oh dear. Just the usual minor illnesses and aches of old bones, I've gotten used to it."
"Don't worry about me; it'll pass in a few days."
After saying this, she asked, "Don't you have classes today?"
Yu Qiao Qiao replied, "Yes, I'm free today, so I came especially to see you."
Granny Du's smile was especially tender. "Good girl, Qiao Qiao."
