After dinner, everyone who wanted to chat went off to chat, and those who wanted to play cards went to play cards.
He Jinnan saw that Xia Zhi seemed a bit lethargic and didn't join the card game. Instead, he took her upstairs, back to their room.
"I just need to sleep for a while," Xia Zhi said. "Don't keep me company anymore. You can go play cards or join Grandpa and Dad for a chat. Don't give Grandpa a reason to pick on you."
He Jinnan lay down on the bed, relaxed. "It's the new year; I'm not going to pretend. I'll take a break."
"I see Grandpa is still quite affectionate towards the eldest; he must have gotten over the anger," Xia Zhi said, leaning against the headboard, weaving her fingers through his hair continuously.
