Zhang Mei noticed Gu Zi's gaze on her empty hands. She let out a forced laugh, hoping to alleviate the awkwardness, and initiated a conversation. "Little Zi, it's been a while. I had some free time today and decided to visit you. I left in such a hurry that I didn't bring any gifts. You won't hold it against me, will you?"
Gu Zi, holding Su Le's hand, responded indifferently, "If you hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have noticed that you came to see me. But it's okay if you didn't bring any gifts. I believe that next time you won't come empty-handed, especially since I have three children. Whenever an elder visits, they always hope for some interesting snacks."
