Hao Ren took the bumpy bus to the seaside and walked the rest of the way to his home. When he was about to yell 'Grandma', Hao Ren found that Xie Yujia was there already in her white apron!
"What... What are you doing here?" Hao Ren asked in surprise.
"I'm here to keep Grandma company," Xie Yujia answered calmly.
"Why, Ren? Do you have a problem with that?" Grandma walked out of a room on the first floor and went to Xie Yujia's side.
"No... No problem," Hao Ren put his backpack on the couch and asked Xie Yujia nervously, "How did you get here?"
"By bus. However, it only took me to the entrance, so I walked the rest of the way," she answered.
Hao Ren nodded. He assumed that Xie Yujia must have handed in her exams early, so she got here earlier than him. However, it was a half-an-hour walk from the bus stop to the house. It must have been hard for a girl like her to walk under the heat.
