MUCH EASIER THAN I THOUGHT

AFTER his uncle followed his grandfather to the study, Shen Ji Yun was left with his grandmother. At first they were surrounded by other madams of the family, but after a while, they all left.

Probably because they're not uncomfortable with him around. Or, it's probably more accurate to say that they're not comfortable mocking him with his grandmother by his side. So, in the end, he and his grandmother were left alone. Which he very much preferred, to be honest.

"What have you been up to lately, Xiao Yun?" his grandmother asked with a smile.

"There's really nothing much," Shen Ji Yun said. "Ah, I'm preparing something with my friends," he added as an afterthought, referring to the training he's doing with the rest of team Yunyue.

Hearing her grandson talked about his friends, Wu Meixiu felt relieved. With everything that had happened to this child, she was always worried that Xiao Yun would never try to open his heart to other people.
