His answer was somewhat interesting, and everyone couldn't help but laugh. Tianlan, straightforward as she was, couldn't contain her laughter and giggled, "Hee hee, haven't you already told us?"
The little boy's face turned red, and he was at a loss for words for quite some time.
At that moment, an elderly voice came from within the door, "Alright, my dear guests, please spare him. Meili, let them in. They are indeed our guests this afternoon."
Only then did Meili open the door to let them in. Although Tianlan was straightforward, she meant no harm and reached out to pat the other's head, but the boy was very alert and stepped back.
He glanced at Tianlan, his face flushed, and without saying much, led everyone into the house.
Soon, a hound ran out from the house, wagging its tail as it circled around the visitors. Tianlan was initially a bit scared, but quickly became familiar with the little fellow.
