Before long, Tianxin's mother and Chen Yiran's mother were back from the grocery store. The two women chatted and smiled as they headed into the kitchen, and shortly after, the sound of running water echoed from within.
Having all her loved ones peacefully coexisting under the same roof was such a heartwarming feeling.
However, the two dads in front of her started to raise their voices after several rounds of a board game, all lost by Chen Yiran's dad. Unable to take anymore losses, he finally looked up at his son in irritation and said, "Stop it, stay out of this. Stop giving advice, can't you see I'm losing game after game?"
"..." Chen Yiran's deep eyes lowered as he watched his father. After a brief silence, he quietly walked away.
Tianxin's father saw Chen Yiran leave, suddenly feeling uneasy. "Yiran, don't go. Help me with the game. Your father might find you annoying, but you can stay behind me."
