"Xiaohao, come and eat more! Try Ting'er's cooking." Xiao Hu's mother called out.
She picked a piece of food and placed it in Zhang Xiaohao's bowl.
"Thank you!" Zhang Xiaohao said with a smile.
He started eating with big bites.
"Xiaohao, we're no longer strangers now, so there's no need for everyone to hide anything. We have no demands on you; as long as you're here, treat Ting'er well. She's a good girl." Xiao Hu's mother said earnestly.
"Mm." Zhang Xiaohao nodded.
The group of five chatted and laughed, enjoying their meal.
After the meal, Zhang Xiaohao returned to his shop, lay on the recliner, and continued reading...
As spring passed and autumn came, a year had already gone by in the blink of an eye.
Throughout the year, Zhang Xiaohao did nothing but read every day, without changing his routine.
