In the courtyard, the boy stood at his original spot and looked at Lu Sheng obediently.
The sparse yellow leaves rolled on the ground with the wind, and a few leaves rolled to the boy's feet.
He lowered his head and kicked them twice before continuing to look at Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng smiled at him and asked, "You must be Ah Tai?"
Ah Tai's expression paused. He did not expect Lu Sheng to know him.
"Who are you?" he asked warily.
He had seen many people, but Lu Sheng was a complete stranger to him.
He was certain that he had not seen this person before.
"I'm your father's friend's… child."
Lu Sheng pushed open the gate and entered.
Ah Tai frowned and took a step back. "My father has passed away for many years."
"I know."
Lu Sheng scanned her surroundings and asked in a low voice, "They've all gone out to the wedding banquet. Why didn't you follow them?"
"Aunt doesn't allow me to go."
