Shen Mingzhu was watching TV while popping the orange segment Pei Yang fed her into her mouth, and she responded without hesitation, "If you want to go back, go back, I'm not going."

Pei Yang saw her enjoying the fruit and couldn't help but try a piece himself; it was so sour that it contorted his facial features.

"Hiss, it's so sour, how can you eat it?"

Shen Mingzhu impatiently grabbed the peeled orange from him and ate it segment by segment with relish.

"If you think it's too sour, don't eat it."

Watching her eat, Pei Yang's face showed nothing but indulgence, "I'll do as you say. You say we won't go back, so we won't."

Shen Mingzhu glanced at him, and her mood improved a lot.

They chatted for a while, then the phone on the corner table rang.

Pei Yang answered it and, after exchanging some pleasantries, hung up. He then turned to Shen Mingzhu and said, "It was auntie from your mom's side. She wants to buy some candy boxes and cookie boxes to give as gifts."
