Shi i watched her figure recede and couldn’t help but sigh, "City folks really know how to have fun."
Because she had promised Shi Lingyan, Shi i didn’t wander off but found a spot with fewer people to wait, and in less than three minutes, she received a phone call.
Unexpectedly, it wasn’t Shi Lingyan on the other end but a call from Grandma Shi.
Seeing the word "Grandma" on the screen, Shi i hesitated, feeling inexplicably nervous. After a pause, she picked up the phone and answered, "Hello?"
"Hey!" Grandma Shi’s voice ca through quickly, and she sounded quite happy. "Senior Sister, where are you now?"
"I’m in... I’m in Imperial City."
Shi i almost blurted out that she was at school but managed to correct herself in ti.
Grandma Shi ’Oh oh’ twice, and then said cheerfully, "Is that so? Where in Imperial City are you? Would it be okay for grandma to co find you for a visit?"
Shi i was startled by this suggestion and quickly responded, "The thing is, Grandma, I’ve been quite busy lately. Are you coming to Imperial City for sothing specific?"
"Oh, there’s nothing much, really. It’s just that I’ve been so bored lately, not knowing where to have fun. Day in and day out, life just repeats itself. Grandpa and I are getting on in years, and we wanted to see our future granddaughter-in-law. Ah, our grandchildren are not filial, avoiding bringing a girlfriend ho despite my urging. So, I thought of looking for you..."
Shi i fell silent for a mont, then said, "Grandma, I’ve talked it over with Ah Ling, and we’ve decided that once I’m done with the busy period, I’ll visit Yan City again to see you. I recently bought so little things here that you might like. I’ve been wondering when Ah Ling will co over so he could bring them to you."
Grandma Shi seed pleased to hear this and said with a chuckle, "Oh dear, putting you to trouble, no need to go to such expense. Grandpa and I lack for nothing, but, well, we hope you guys can settle down soon. Lately, you’ve been busy, and Ah Ling is always saying how busy he is, poor us old folks, sigh..."
Shi i was most scared of elderly folks laying it on thick, and she hurriedly said, "I really have been a bit busy recently, but it should get better after so ti, then I can visit..."
"How long will that be?"
"Maybe... two months?"
"Two months?" Grandma Shi sounded a bit disappointed. "That’s too long!"
"Cough..."
"Ah well, you young people are always so busy. Just rember to take care of your health."
"I know, Grandma."
"We old folks won’t bother you anymore, it’s just... I don’t know when I’ll be able to embrace my golden grandchild!"
"Uh," Shi i thought it over. Grandma Shi and Grandpa Shi were indeed getting older, especially Grandpa Shi, whose health was deteriorating with each passing year. After so thought, she tentatively said, "Next ti, I might talk it over with Ah Ling... about getting married."
"Getting married!" Grandma Shi beca very excited. "That’s wonderful, getting married is great. At Ah Ling’s age, we as grandparents are already one foot in the grave. All we wish for is grandchildren. Now that I know you have marriage on your minds, Grandma is relieved. Alright then, you go on with your business, and I won’t disturb you. I’ll start looking for a good wedding date!"
Before Shi i could say anything further, Grandma Shi hung up the phone.
Shi i: "..."
