THE garden of the Bai family's villa was currently decorated by colorful lanterns.There was a long table filled with delicious dishes.From here, one could clearly see the moon perfectly.Eating while viewing the moon, it's the perfect place for a Mid-Autumn Festival dinner.

Luo Yan looked around.He wondered when they put up all these lanterns.He spent all afternoon with his grandfather that he had no idea when they started preparing for this dinner.

They were already at the middle of dinner.His grandfather was sitting at the head of the table.Luo Yan was sitting on his right while Bai Ye was sitting on his left.These positions should belong to Bai Chen and Luo Wei Tian.But because of his grandfather's condition, these two seats were given to them.

"Hua-er, Ah Chen, you should eat more," Bai Zhen said, putting dumplings on each of the two's plate."This way, the two of you would grow even bigger."

"Then Grandpa should also eat more," Luo Yan said, also adding a dish on his grandfather's plate.

Earlier, he found out that despite their grandfather mistaking them for the younger versions of his children, he didn't mind if they called him 'grandpa'.Luo Yan thought that it would affect him being called that.Because it would destroy the illusion of them being his children.But it didn't.

Maybe, subconsciously, his grandfather still knew that they were not his children so it didn't affect him.Luo Yan also noticed that despite seemingly being unable to recognize everyone here, his grandfather could still act normal around them.Treating everyone like guest.Well, aside from Luo Yan and Bai Ye, that is.

It must be hard for the people living in the Bai household, especially for his uncle – Bai Chen.Unable to be recognized by his own father, that must be truly painful.It's no wonder that Luo Yan would see him showing a sad expression from time to time.

Luo Yan heard that there were times when his grandfather was lucid, with all his memory intact.But that was very few and far between.His condition deteriorated even more these past two years.To the point where he needed to be put into a wheelchair, with a nurse constantly monitoring him.

It was truly a tough and heartbreaking situation.

"I will eat anything that Hua-er gives," his grandfather said.

In which Luo Yan only smiled.

Bai Zhen then turned to Bai Ye."Of course, I will also eat anything Ah Chen gives."

"What if I give Grandpa something that taste bad?" Bai Ye asked innocently.

Their grandfather laughed and gently rubbed Bai Ye's head."I will still eat it because it was given by my Ah Chen."

Bai Ye blushed but he still grinned at their grandfather."Don't worry, Grandpa.All the food here is cooked by Mom.So everything is delicious."

While the three of them were having conversation, the rest of the people on the table were also having their own.

"It's been awhile since I saw Dad laugh so carefree," Sun Xiulan commented, looking at the three with a soft gaze."Maybe it would be better to let Xiao Yan stay here," she added in a joking manner while glancing at Luo Wei Tian.

Luo Wei Tian picked up his tea cup and drank before coolly replying, "Impossible."

Sun Xiulan chuckled."You still can't take a joke."

She truly wondered how this rigid guy ever managed to make Mei Hua fall in love with him.Anyway, she would never dream of taking Luo Yan.Even if his presence here would mean happiness for her father-in-law.

When that child fell into coma seven years ago, the doctors said that it's almost impossible for him to wake up again.But Luo Wei Tian refused to believe that.Of course, they also didn't want to believe that there was no hope.

But when days turned into months and months turned into years, even she felt that it's no use.That it's better to let Luo Yan rest than let his body continued to be in that state.Neither dead nor alive.

Luo Wei Tian and the other two kids – Luo Ren and Luo Jin persevered in their beliefs.Never refusing to lose hope.And look, it paid off.If they gave up, Luo Yan wouldn't be sitting with them now.

She glanced again at the rigid man her best friend married.Maybe that's the reason Mei Hua chose to be with him despite all the odds against them back then.Because once he loved a person, he would never ever give up on them.

"Has Xiao Yan already adapted to his new school?" Bai Chen asked.

"He has. His homeroom teacher constantly praises him," Luo Wei Tian answered, pride evident in his voice.

"Wait- are you in contact with Xiao Yan's homeroom teacher?" Sun Xiulan asked unbelievingly when he heard what he said.

"It's not me.It's my assistant," Luo Wei Tian calmly answered.

Wasn't that basically the same thing? – Sun Xiulan's expression clearly said.

Bai Ze who was secretly listening to the conversation of the three couldn't help but chuckle.It seemed like this uncle of his was truly more than just a tad bit overprotective.

Meanwhile, the two Luo brothers sitting on the opposite side were also having their own conversation.

"Brother, do you think Yan is truly alright now?" Luo Jin asked, glancing at Luo Yan who was smiling at their grandfather.

Earlier, even though he tried to hide it, he knew that Luo Yan cried.It's probably not only Luo Jin who noticed that.But because Luo Yan was trying so hard to hide it, they also tried their best to act like they didn't notice.

But because of that, Luo Jin became even more worried.Although Luo Yan cried a couple of times before this, he knew by now that those were just fake tears.He was just simply acting to get what he wanted.Which, by all means, was truly effective.

But if he had to hide just so he could cry, then that meant that the tears he shed were true.Something that never happened since he woke up from coma.Which only made it even more worrying.

By his youngest brother's question, Luo Ren also glanced at Luo Yan's direction.Just like Luo Jin, he was also worried about their brother.He never thought that Luo Yan would be this affected by their grandfather's condition.But that just showed how kind he was.

When Luo Ren saw the smile on Luo Yan's face, he calmly picked a mooncake and said, "Don't worry, Yan Yan is fine now."

Yes, from that smile, he could tell that whatever it was that's weighing on Luo Yan had finally been lifted.A small smile crossed his lips.

"Yes, he's alright now," he repeated.

On the other hand, Luo Yan who was happily eating mooncake just felt his phone vibrating.He took it out and saw that he received a message from WeChat.He opened it and the first thing that appeared was a rabbit sticker holding a red lantern.

[luckycloud]: Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, Yan Yan.

When Luo Yan saw that it was from Shen Ji Yun, he didn't even notice the smile that crossed his lips.
