After school, Jun Hao wanted to slip away secretly, but was caught by the two people who had been staring at him.
“No, can I not go?”
The thought of Xu Heng being nearby scared him.
Although he had never done anything to let Xu Heng down, he was afraid of ghosts!
“No!” Lu Sheng snorted coldly. “If you don’t go, I’ll get that female ghost to come back and find you.”
Jun Hao widened his eyes in disbelief. “No way?”
Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow and asked with a smile, “Tell me, are you going or not?”
“Okay, I’ll go, alright?” Jun Hao pouted, his expression aggrieved.
“Sheng Sheng, where are you going?”
Zeng Zijuan carried her bag and ran over. She smiled at the three of them and asked.
Lu Sheng smiled and said, “We’re going to a friend’s house to sit for a while.”
“Friend? Which friend?” Zeng Zijuan asked curiously. “Do I know him?”
Jun Hao said, “Xu Heng. Do you know him?”
“Xu… Xu Heng?!”
Zeng Zijuan was stunned. “Isn’t he no longer around?”
Chu Sihan coughed lightly. Jun Hao understood and hurriedly explained, “Even if he’s not around, we’re still friends. After such a thing happened, we should visit Uncle and Auntie.”
“That’s true!”
Zeng Zijuan nodded. “Then, go ahead. My father said that my mother and grandma are coming over to visit me today. I have to go back first.”
Lu Sheng nodded. “Okay, go back first.”
Zeng Zijuan nodded and waved at the three of them before leaving.
In the end, Lu Zhou, who acted as the driver who came to fetch them, first went to the market to buy some gifts before driving to Xu Heng’s house under Jun Hao’s instructions.
“We’re here. That’s the house.”
Jun Hao pointed at a small house not far away.
As the road in front was too narrow, they could not continue driving. Lu Zhou could only stop the car outside and let them carry their things in.
“Uncle, aren’t you coming with us?” Jun Hao saw that Lu Zhou had no intention of getting off and hurriedly asked.
Lu Zhou smiled and nodded. “I’m not going. Go ahead.”
Lu Sheng said, “Then wait for us here.”
Chu Sihan carried a box of drinks on his right shoulder and a box of fruits on his left.
Jun Hao carried a carton of milk and a box of biscuits.
Lu Sheng carried two bags of meat. One contained twenty pounds of beef and the other contained twenty pounds of pork belly.
When the three of them reached Xu Heng’s house, they realized that two elders and a four-year-old boy were sitting in the courtyard.
The elders were Xu Heng’s grandparents. Jun Hao said that the child should be Xu Heng’s sister’s child.
“Who are you looking for?”
When the two elders saw them coming, they hurriedly stood up and asked.
The three of them did not know what to say. After all, they could not mention Xu Heng in front of the two elders.
“We are…”
Jun Hao’s pleading gaze landed on Chu Sihan and Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng and Chu Sihan did not know how to answer.
The two elders seemed to have guessed something. Their expressions changed slightly and they sighed softly. “Come in and sit.”
The three of them nodded awkwardly and hurried in.
Grandpa Xu found three stools and let the three of them sit.
“You came over after hearing about Ah Heng, right?” Grandma Xu sighed and asked.
The three of them nodded at the same time. Jun Hao said, “We’re Xu Heng’s friends. We’ve always wanted to come and visit you, but we were afraid that you would be sad, so we resisted the urge to come over.”
“Sigh—”
Grandma Xu sighed again and wiped her tears. “You’re so thoughtful. If Ah Heng knows that you’re here, he’ll definitely be very happy.”
