Holding a cup of hot water, Helian Xin walked nervously to Helian Min's side.
"elder brother."
The girl's voice was barely audible, but it managed to distract Helian Min slightly.
For Helian Min, the word "brother" had unknowingly become exclusive to Xiao Anman, so when Helian Xin called him "brother," he subconsciously thought that Xiao Anman had come.
But Helian Min quickly regained consciousness.
Where is this place? What time is it? An'an couldn't possibly be here.
"elder brother."
Seeing that Helian Min didn't understand, Helian Xin called out to him again carefully.
Helian Min looked up and saw the girl's round face filled with anxiety. He remembered that this was the girl who had told him about Xiao Anman's accident at the family home last time.
Those who can appear in the family's mourning hall must be children from the main branch of the Helian family.
I just don't know why she called me at this moment.
"Brother, do you still remember me? I am Helian Xin."
It's not strange to be forgotten; it's to be remembered. Helian Xin didn't think that someone as insignificant as her would be remembered by Helian Min, so she always spoke cautiously.
"Um."
Helian Min already remembered who she was, but she didn't understand why she had deliberately come to her side.
Being too close to someone at this time could very well make you a thorn in their side.
Although he could sense Helian Xin's goodwill towards him, from an objective point of view, Helian Xin's actions at this time would not bring any good results.
"Have some water."
Although there was a lot she wanted to say to Helian Min, Helian Xin stuttered a little when she got nervous. In order not to let Helian Min see that she was nervous and stuttering, Helian Xin chose to keep it short and toned down the long speech she had prepared in her mind into just a few words.
The water cup the girl was holding looked brand new, with water droplets condensing from the steam on the transparent glass of the cup.
"Thanks."
Generally speaking, it is highly unlikely that Helian Min would accept such an action, whether well-intentioned or malicious.

But the concern in the girl's eyes when she looked at him reminded Helian Min of the reluctance she felt when she left home with Xiao Anman.
At that time, An'an looked at me with those same eyes.
Seeing this, Helian Min even felt a pang of sympathy and wondered if leaving was the right choice.
Perhaps because of this decision today, he will lose the meager but extremely precious things he has.
...
Seeing Helian Min take her water cup and drink it, Helian Xin's premonition that she could almost touch the person she admired seemed to have become a reality.
The day when the girl's wish would come true was fast approaching, but for the young girl An'an, it seemed that she had found it hard to be happy ever since Helian Min solemnly said goodbye and left.
Xiao Anman was unaware of Helian Min's inner struggle at the time, but she had her own worries and reluctance towards Helian Min.
For Xiao Anman, Helian Min was an irreplaceable family member, and also a family member she couldn't bear to lose.
However, when fate is cruel and unreasonable, there is no logic to it.
Fate cannot control everything, but it can briefly control people's joys and sorrows.
Gu Tingxiao thought about it over and over, and figured that the house was probably too empty.
He took Xiao Anman back to the Gu family's old house.
Great-Grandma's enthusiasm finally made An'an, who had been playing the role of a little mushroom for many days, show signs of waking up.
“An’an doesn’t want to be a great-grandmother at all.”
With a kind smile on her face, Old Madam Gu pretended to be angry and tapped Xiao Anman's nose.
What could be more important than the genuine warmth between people that can be truly conveyed to each other?
The two elderly members of the Gu family have reached the age of knowing their destiny. After the storm subsided, they no longer mentioned the various events, big and small, that had happened in the Gu family during this period.
Although they no longer interfere much in the Gu family's affairs, Xiao Anman is still the little darling they cherish in their hearts.
When the old lady was worried that Gu Tingxiao wouldn't be able to take good care of Xiao Anman on his own, she thought about keeping Xiao Anman with her.
While concerned about his great-granddaughter, he couldn't help but wonder if Gu Tingxiao would feel lonely missing his daughter while taking care of Xiao Anman.
When Gu Tingxiao returned to the old house with Xiao Anman, who looked as wilted as if all the moisture had been drained, he was scolded quite a bit by the two elders.
Old Madam Gu was alright; she muttered a few words and then released Gu Tingxiao, turning around to tease Xiao Anman.
However, Gu Tingxiao's training did not end there.
Grandpa Gu glanced at his great-granddaughter, whose face he saw looked even thinner, put his hands behind his back, and glared at Gu Tingxiao: "Come to my study with me!"
There's no need to guess; just from the tone, you can tell that Gu Tingxiao won't get away with anything good if he goes to the study.
Grandpa Doubao also came with them today.
I wonder if all cats and dogs have the habit of respecting the elderly and caring for the young.
Anyway, Grandpa Doubao, who usually acts all high and mighty in public, wagged his little tail happily when he got to the old house.
Moreover, he showed particular affection for Madam Gu.
So when it's time to eat, Grandpa Doubao has successfully secured a special spot in the old house thanks to his unique charm.
Small rice bowls, small villas, everything is available.
Gu Tingxiao was amused by his daughter and her dog.
When Xiao Anman first came to the old house, he won the old lady's favor in the blink of an eye. Now Doubao is showing the demeanor of his master, winning over Madam Gu so quickly and securing quite good benefits for himself.
She's such a clever little devil.
