Yao Beidi sat in her room with her father and mother.
Her mother and she sat on the bed, while her father sat on the sofa nearby.
Her father didn't say anything; he just quietly observed the mother and daughter.
Her mother held Yao Beidi's hand gently, with kindness in her eyes and a warm, soft voice as she spoke cautiously, afraid of hurting Beidi's feelings. She said, "Beidi, your dad and I discussed this thoroughly. How about you and Xiao Ye move back home to live with us? Your dad and I are getting old, and your brother isn't reliable. The house is getting increasingly empty and quiet. Would you come back to keep me company?"
"I can move back, but Xiao Ye won't be coming with me," Beidi responded instantly. "I'll come back to accompany you, Mom."
