Chapter 822: Chapter 822: He Was Just Overthinking Everything "Let’s go, Aunt will see you off." However, before leaving the living room, Kang Li still checked if the three little girls had properly buttoned their coats. At the courtyard gate. "Goodbye, Aunt Kang!" The three sisters, Wen Yue, waved to Kang Li. "Goodbye!" Kang Li maintained a smile all the way, she also waved back, watching Wen Yue and her sisters enter their own courtyard before withdrawing her gaze. "You took leave from the factory, right?" Pulling aside the cotton curtain and walking into the living room, Kang Li casually asked Mo Yan. "Yes." Mo Yan nodded lightly, tidying up his textbooks and notes, ready to go home. "What’s the rush?! Wait until after dinner to leave." In winter, it gets dark early, and a heavy snow had just fallen in the last couple of days. Near dusk, as temperatures dropped, the snowmelt on the ground would freeze over, so Kang Li understood why Mo Yan wanted to hurry home so early. But thinking about the young man facing the cold wind all the way back, where the house would be cold and the stove empty, she couldn’t help but feel a bit sorry, so she planned to keep him for dinner before leaving. Seeing through Kang Li’s thoughts, Mo Yan smiled: "It’s alright, I lit the heater at home about half a month ago, the house isn’t cold at all, cooking and such is very convenient, Sister Kang Li, you don’t need to worry about me." "You kid, your Sister Kang Li wants you to stay and have dinner before going back, just listen to her. Alright, sit down and study a bit longer with Yangyang and them, Auntie and your Sister Kang Li will go to the kitchen to make dinner for us." Cai Xiufen casually put the knitted wool vest she was working on onto the sofa, got up, went into the room to put on her cotton coat, and then left the living room. "Mo Yan, listen to my mom, sit down, continue reading, it won’t be late to go back after dinner. It’s still not even four o’clock, it won’t delay your return." Kang Guoan got up and pulled Mo Yan back to his chair, smiling: "This college entrance exam is very important for us, a bit more reviewing can only help." "You’re right." Mo Yan nodded in agreement. His reason for wanting to go home now was partly due to concerns about riding his bike late on the road, and partly because he didn’t want to add another mouth to Kang Li’s burden. Every weekend for the past two months, he came over for study sessions, had lunch here, and almost three out of five times stayed for dinner as well. Frankly, although he occasionally brought ingredients, it didn’t feel quite right to keep accepting hospitality this way. Putting it simply, he felt he was imposing too much! However, at this moment, Mo Yan understood very clearly that it was all his own overthinking. She genuinely treated him like a younger brother, and her family agreed, otherwise, they wouldn’t be so familiar with him, treating him like one of their own! Thinking this, Mo Yan couldn’t help but feel a bit embarrassed, realizing he shouldn’t overthink it. If he truly felt uncomfortable, he could repay her generously when he was capable in the future. About forty minutes later, Kang Li called Kang Yiyang to serve dinner, and seeing Song Xuan slinging a military green canvas bag, ready to go home, Kang Li immediately glared: "Sit obediently in the living room and wait to eat, no running around. Aunt will call grandma to come over." Saying this, Kang Li pulled the young man back into the living room and then dialed a number. Upon hearing Mrs. Qi’s voice, Kang Li kept it simple, directly inviting Mrs. Qi over for dinner, clearly stating that Song Xuan had already been retained. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Qi resolutely declined to come. "Godmother~" Kang Li pleaded coquettishly. "Li Bao, it won’t work this time, godmother has already started making porridge, and doesn’t want to brave the cold wind coming to your house for dinner. But since Xuan Xuan has been kept, let him eat and then come home, consider it a nod to you."
