Before long, a paper kite floated into the courtyard from outside, landing in front of the old man.

He gently opened his eyes and saw a child nervously watching from outside the courtyard.

The old man did not get up, just closed his eyes again, not intending to say anything.

The child standing at the door hesitated for a long time, then gently knocked on the door and asked in a soft voice, "Can I come in to pick something up?"
