In fact, when Old Lady Yu left the house today, although Old Man Xiao did not voice any objection, he secretly followed her from a distance to ensure the safety of the woman he had protected all his life.

It was exactly then, or more precisely, before Kang Li emerged from the courtyard, that Old Man Xiao, watching from afar, nearly stepped out from behind a utility pole dozens of meters away when he sensed something off about Old Lady Yu.
And the moment Kang Li appeared, basking in the dim glow of the streetlight by the road, Old Man Xiao's expression involuntarily slipped into a daze upon seeing her.
"That so? Then may I invite you to spend this New Year's Eve at my place? If you have a phone at home, I could also call Grandpa Xiao over, Grandma Yu, what do you say?" "Child, wouldn't that be inappropriate? Including today, we've only met twice. How could I rashly disturb your home, and on New Year's Eve at that..." Old Lady Yu said this, but in her heart, she actually wanted to see Kang Li's home. Yet, for a stranger like her to visit a young girl's hon New Year's Eve was truly against convention.
"Grandma Yu, have you forgotten what you just said? You mentioned that this is a new society now, and sometimes it's okay not to follow old customs strictly, without inviting any criticism.
Besides, there are only a few of us at home; my partner is busy at work and probably won't make it back for the family dinner. If you could go to my place, to spend this New Year's Eve with me, my three little ones, and my younger brother, I believe my partner would be delighted to find out. After all, since he can't chimself, having another person at hto accompanywould undoubtedly make things much livelier." Old Lady Yu was visibly tempted, “Wouldn't I be troubling you?" Kang Li firmly shook her head, "Not at all. Please be at ease and cto my house with me!" "Well then, I will disturb you for a while at your home," Old Lady Yu nodded.

She felt a stir in her heart, paused, and called out to the man, “Grandpa Xiao! You're Grandpa Xiao, aren't you?" Hearing Kang Li's voice, Old Man Xiao froze for a moment, then turned to leave, but at that instant, Old Lady Yu followed Kang Li's gaze and, feeling a pang in her heart, said to Old Man Xiao not far away, "Since you've followedthis far, why not just cover!" This Old Man Xiao, he was of such an age and still was overprotective, treating her like a child! "I... I didn't mean to follow you, I... I just couldn't stop worrying..."
Old Man Xiao always listened to Old h Lady Yu. As soon as she spoke up, his departing footsteps halted immediately, and he turned and walked straight over. "Hello, Grandpa Xiao, my nis Kang Li."
After a simple introduction, Kang Li said to Old Man Xiao, "Con) join Grandma Yu and go to my place for the New Year's Eve." Old Man Xiao did not respond right away; he looked at Old Lady Yu.
"Listen to the child. Let's go sit for a while and get acquainted with the place."
