When Professor Xiao and Professor Fan entered the house, they saw the family of four squeezed onto the sofa and smiled in contentment.
Seeing Professor Xiao and Professor Fan come in, Li Xiu smiled, stood up to make some tea, and brought it over. He glanced at his wife and two children snuggled on the sofa, then walked to the table and sat down with the professors. Handing them their cups, he said softly, "I wasn't home these past few days. Thank you for all your hard work, Professor Xiao, Professor Fan."
"It was no trouble at all. That girl is very sensible. Now that you're back, everything will be fine," Professor Fan said with a smile, shaking his head.
Understanding that the family's recent troubles couldn't be hidden from Professor Fan, Li Xiu nodded with a smile and said, "I'm sorry to have worried you, Professor. It's nothing serious. Please, don't worry."
