"As expected of a Heavenly Lord, his words are so sharp and to the point."
"I still remember how innocent these two children were when they asked me for toys over seventy years ago. Later, when they grew up, it was only natural for them to get married as childhood sweethearts."
"They have also embarked on the path of studying architecture, and have often consulted me on this matter."
"I taught them a lot of Chinese techniques, and they are very grateful to me."
"Later, when they were older, they said they wanted to go to the capital to try their luck, see the world, and put their talents to use."

On the day they grew old, they did not ask why Mr. Xu would not die, why his appearance did not change,
They just asked Mr. Xu for a toy, just like the two children more than ten years ago.
