Not far away, a little boy peeking over the wall huffed angrily.
"All go away! All go away!" he shouted furiously, "I don't care anyway!"
"..."
At the door, the other residents who had come to bid farewell exchanged glances helplessly, unable to suppress their soft laughter.
"Go quickly, young man."
The gardener waved his hand, "If you keep dawdling, the old folks will really get angry."
Huai Shi nodded respectfully to say goodbye.
Holding the girl's hand, he turned and left.
The journey was smooth and unimpeded, without any further unexpected occurrences.
Yet Huai Shi noticed the trembling fingers of the girl beside him.
He lowered his head and asked, "Are you reluctant to leave, Anna?"
"Mom and Dad said I can't stay here anymore." Anna looked back at the smiles of blessings behind her, lowered her head, uneasy, "I'm just a little scared... the outside world, a world without Mom, Dad, and Grandpa Vitali, is very frightening."
