Indeed, that's true. Pan Yan's previous words deeply touched Xiao Ying. Not only because of Pan Yan's experiences, but also because she herself is an orphan.
She wonders whether her parents might have gone through similar hardships, which led to her becoming an orphan.
This was something she had never considered before, but thinking about it now genuinely left her feeling somewhat melancholic. Hearing Pan's impatient narrative also struck a chord in her. In that instant, Xiao Ying felt as if she had grown up, losing the desire to play amidst such emotions.
Seeing this, Lin Chen refrained from saying much, choosing instead to quietly accompany her for a while longer.
Not long after, Pan Yan finally came out. His figure was slightly hunched, shielding his eyes from the glaring sun with his craggy hands as he looked up.
"Grandpa!"
Xiao Ying called out as she abandoned Xiao Bai, running towards Pan Yan.
