While the omegas and alphas were gossiping in the living room, with the two factions forming their own tight circles, Shen Guoxing and PD Xu Cui were playing peacefully in the backyard.
The morning sun bathed the open space in warm, golden light, the grass still glistening with a light layer of dew that sparkled like tiny diamonds underfoot. A gentle breeze carried the fresh scent of earth and blooming flowers, making the air feel crisp and alive.
"Grandpa!" Shen Guoxing called out loudly to PD Xu Cui, waving her small hand enthusiastically through the air.
PD Xu Cui smiled warmly and threw the ball toward her. "Catch!" he said. Shen Guoxing let out a bubbly giggle and caught the ball with a big smile on her face, the sunlight softly illuminating her bright expression even more.
