Ruan Ninth Son and Tie Dan didn't need anyone to see them off. The two held hands and left the Hong Family, only parting ways at the fork in the road.
Ruan Ninth Son entered his own small courtyard and saw that there were some rarely lit white wax candles in the hall. The dishes on the dining table were still as they were when he brought them back, only without the heat.
When Ruan Sixth Son saw him return, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "So you're back. Seventh Son, Eighth Son, quickly heat the dishes. Let's eat."
Upon hearing this, Ruan Ninth Son, who had been holding back tears, finally couldn't hold them back any longer. He covered his eyes with his hand and said, "Why haven't you eaten yet? Even if you can stand the hunger, don't you care about Brother Ling's health?"
For someone so small to speak such words, it made the other four laugh and cry at the same time, but they knew he was simply embarrassed.
