"Mom and Dad, you won't blame me, will you...? I'll buy this house back once I've made some money, okay?"
"I'm willing to give anything to keep my uncle here, but who will keep this promise for me..."
Lu Yi closed his eyes, not daring to let strangers see his vulnerability.
After the bus came to a complete stop, Lu Yi got off the bus listlessly.
The driver called out to him, "Young man, are you alright? If you have any problems, just say so. Maybe I can help..."
In the middle of the night, a young man carrying a bag got off the bus alone near the cemetery, which made people wonder what was going on.
Lu Yi felt a warmth in her heart, gave him a reassuring look, and casually pointed, "Thank you, Uncle. My home is nearby."
The driver glanced at his shadow under the streetlight and sighed, "Don't mention it. Be careful on your way home, and try to stay in touch with your family!"
After watching the bus drive away, Lu Yi walked all the way back to the cemetery.

"He ate such a big bowl in one go, and his complexion looks much better. Tomorrow I'll make him some white fungus and lotus seed porridge, it's sweet and refreshing, he'll definitely love it."
Aunt Liu loves to talk. When she opens her mouth, her words come out one after another like beans, and the crisp sound makes people feel much better.
"Aunt Liu, these are some small toys I bought for my little brother, along with some snacks and candies. Please don't mind them."
Lu Yi handed her the bag.
Seeing Aunt Liu wipe her eyes with emotion, he quickly said, "It's not a gift for nothing... I have to go out again tomorrow, and I would like to ask Aunt Liu to take care of Uncle again."
Aunt Liu rolled her eyes at him, "This is what I should do to help you. You child, you never take advantage of others..."
