Ming Mei thought about it and agreed. Qin Huai was relatively distant from his parents and closest to his grandparents. Now that the two people he was closest to were gone, he was alone and would only feel lonelier and more sorrowful. At times like this, being alone would make him even sadder. Perhaps working could help distract him a bit.
"Since you say so, we'll respect your choice. But your grandpa told me to have Kang Chen take good care of you, so we can't just ignore you. You can work, but don't get so absorbed that you forget everything else. From now on, come to our place for dinner at least three times a week. I've been looking for a girl for you. If I find a suitable one, I'll introduce you."
Qin Huai showed a faint smile, "Sure, I'll listen to you."

After the funeral, all the sadness slowly faded with the passing of time, but the scars left on the heart were difficult to erase forever.
