He turned his wheelchair to the side of the sofa, picked up the remote, and turned on the TV. Even his favorite military channel couldn’t pique his interest.
Gazing absent-mindedly at the screen for a while, he suddenly turned and asked Xiang Yiqing, "After she’s engaged, will she stop coming to see ?"
Watching the old man’s nervous expression, Xiang Yiqing replied with amusent, "In the future, soone will always co to keep you company."
He just couldn’t understand, what’s so endearing about that girl?
From head to toe, from inside to out... she was so flamboyant, what rits did she have?
The old man snorted, "Who knows when that will be, maybe in never years."
He turned his head sulkily, staring intently at the television screen.
At this ti, the military channel was broadcasting a military docuntary, and Xiang Yiqing thought the old man had finally been distracted by the program.
With a sigh of relief, he reached for an apple, peeled it, cut it into small pieces, placed them on a fruit plate, and added a few toothpicks on top, then pushed it towards the old man.
"Grandpa, have so apple."
"I’m not in the mood to eat." The old man waved his hand.
That dejected expression, as if he was heartbroken, frowning, finding no joy in anything.
So, the old man was still thinking...
Xiang Yiqing frowned.
The old man’s voice ca again, "Qingqing, what about that college first love of yours? Does she want to reconcile with you?"
Xiang Yiqing: "..."
How did the old man get onto Qiu Yang again?
The old man looked at him, "That child seed nice to , very quiet, she wouldn’t annoy you, would she?"
Xiang Yiqing looked at the old man, speechless.
Can’t we have a bit more class, not just shove him into any girl’s arms? Besides, he’s a single diamond bachelor now, isn’t he?
He reached for a toothpick, poked a piece of apple, brought it to the old man’s mouth, and said in a fawning tone, "Don’t worry about . I’m only twenty-seven. In today’s society, won my age still unmarried are everywhere, let alone a man. I should focus on my career."
As for his own marriage, he wanted to let things take their natural course.
If he t soone he felt was right, he’d try to beco involved. He believed that if it was ant to be, it would happen.
If that person wasn’t ant for him, no matter what he did intentionally, it would eventually end up going nowhere.
Just like Qiu Yang in the past, and Ji Mingyue who once stirred his heart.
The old man heard Xiang Yiqing’s words and got furious, "At your age, your father was already in fourth grade. Was my career any less successful than yours?"
After saying that, the old man puffed out his chest, with a proud look, as if saying, "I was so successful."
"And you and grandma, you started dating early. In those days, didn’t they hold a struggle session for you?" Xiang Yiqing tried to change the subject.
The old man didn’t buy it, still with a stern face, coldly said, "You young people, keep dawdling. Marry late, have kids late. In the future, when your kid’s in elentary school and you attend a parent eting, people will think a grandpa is attending his grandson’s eting."
Xiang Yiqing: "..."
Couldn’t he not shoot so far, not be so exaggerated?
Children, children, children seed to be the topic of discussion for over a year every ti the grandfather and grandson t.
"If I leave without seeing my great-grandson, I cannot rest in peace."
