Professor Zhuang's family lived in an old neighborhood near Z University. Compared to the surrounding newly built upscale residential buildings, the neighborhood seemed a bit dated, but its advantage was its proximity to the school, just a fifteen-minute walk away.
When the door opened, it was Mrs. Zhuang who greeted them, immediately showing a delighted expression, "You've arrived! Your teacher was just talking about you, come on in."
"Hello, Mrs. Zhuang," said Sheng Ting and Mu Sui as they handed over the fruits they had bought at the neighborhood entrance.
"Inviting you for a meal, and you still bring things? Next time, don't do this again," Mrs. Zhuang said politely as she took the fruits.
"Understood, Mrs. Zhuang!" Mu Sui responded loudly, while Sheng Ting simply nodded discreetly.
As for next time, they still had to bring something, as it wouldn't be proper to show up empty-handed.
