Even though Lin Chuxia agreed readily, Old Sir He was still a bit impatient on the way, continuously asking her why they were going to An City.
Lin Chuxia couldn’t easily tell him, and the old man beca even more irritable.
"You’re dragging to An City for no reason. Don’t you know, I had arranged to play chess with that old geezer today? That shaless old geezer broke the ga yesterday to win against and then shalessly claid his chess skills are better. If I don’t show up today, won’t he say I’m afraid of him? Who knows what that shaless old man will say about ..."
Lin Chuxia thought Old Sir He was becoming more of a child as he aged.
"Our true gold fears no fire. Another day, you can go find him and beat him soundly. The more arrogantly he boasts today, the harder it’ll slap him in the face then. Won’t that be more satisfying?"
Old Sir He thought about it, it seed to make sense.
"Alright then, when we get back, you have Qin Yang play a few rounds with . Chess skills are like kung fu; you have to practice every day, in the coldest winter and hottest sumr, to gain true skills. Even though I’m going out today, I still can’t slack off."
Lin Chuxia held back her laughter and glanced at Qin Yang, "Alright, alright, when we get back, I’ll have Qin Yang play with you."
Clearly thinking Qin Yang’s chess skills were good, he wanted to learn a few tricks but had to say it so uniquely.
When they arrived in An City, they drove straight to Old Sir He’s small courtyard.
They had inford Su Wensong before coming, and when they got to the alley, the group got out of the car and saw the courtyard door was already open.
Probably hearing the car, Su Wensong ca out with a smile on his face.
"Mr. Lin, Old He, Mr. Qin, was the journey smooth?"
Lin Chuxia nodded, "Where is the person you ntioned?"
"In the courtyard," Su Wensong glanced at Old Sir He and then said to Lin Chuxia, "I chatted with him for a while, pretty much eight or nine out of ten."
Old Sir He was still grumbling discontentedly, "What are you two whispering about? We’re ho, yet you’re still standing at the door? Can’t you talk inside? Move, move, if you don’t go in, I will..."
As Old Sir He spoke, he walked into the courtyard and suddenly stopped upon seeing a tall figure there.
Pointing to the person, he turned back to ask Su Wensong and Lin Chuxia, "Who is this person? You’re not planning on selling the courtyard, are you? Even though I gave you this courtyard, you can handle it as you like, but selling ancestral property is wasteful; you mustn’t act recklessly."
Thinking of sothing, he asked again, "Are you short of money? Is it that your herbal dicine planting base needs a lot of money, and you’re tight on cash? If that’s the case, selling this courtyard is not impossible; no one lives here anyway, it’s just sitting idle..."
The young apprentice setting up the herbal dicine planting base to fulfill his wish, he couldn’t help, but he definitely couldn’t be a hindrance.
He thought for a mont and gritted his teeth, "Not only this courtyard, you could even sell the small courtyard you bought for in Yan City, I can live anywhere, didn’t they say there are retirent hos? You can send to a retirent ho, and I won’t have to find people for chess anymore."
Sotis Lin Chuxia really found Old Sir He adorable.
But before she could respond to Old Sir He, the figure in the courtyard had already looked over.
"Dad, it’s . I’m back!"
Just these few simple words, and Old Sir He seed struck by lightning, stunned there for a mont before slowly turning his head.
The man had already walked quickly to Old Sir He and knelt at his feet with a thud, "Dad, I’m back!"
Old Sir He looked down at the now matured face, his hand trembled as he raised it to gently touch the man’s face, choking up as he finally uttered, "San’er, is that you?"
As he spoke, a tear fell onto the man’s forehead.
The man nodded hard, "Dad, it’s , I’m San’er."
Old Sir He could no longer control himself, and he tightly hugged the man’s head, "San’er, where have you been all these years? Why have you only co back now?"
"Dad, I’m sorry, your son has been unfilial..."
Watching the long-lost reunion between father and son, Lin Chuxia rembered the old man’s fate from her past life, and couldn’t hold back her tears.
A large hand fell on her shoulder, and Lin Chuxia, with tearful eyes, looked at Qin Yang, who held her closer.
Lin Chuxia broke into a smile through her tears, wiping them away as she said, "I’m happy, happy for Master."
Hearing Lin Chuxia’s voice, Old Sir He also stopped crying and even felt a bit ashad.
Wiping his tears with his sleeve, he pushed his son away, "You little rascal, didn’t even send a letter for so many years, what did you co back for? Just to see your old man cry? I’m not shedding tears for you; it’s because I feel sorry for myself for worrying about you all these years."
The man stood up with so helplessness, "Yes, Dad, you’re right, I feel sorry for you too."
Old Sir He huffed, "Get out of here, I don’t need you to feel sorry for . All these years you haven’t cared about your old man, soone else has been looking after . You don’t know how filial my apprentice is, worrying about in the winter and sumr, looking after what I eat and drink. Better than you little rascals I raised."
Despite his grumbling, Old Sir He still pulled his son over to introduce him to Lin Chuxia.
"Xiaxia, co, get to know each other. This is your senior brother, my ungrateful son, He JianShe."
Seeing Lin Chuxia clearly, He JianShe couldn’t help but say, "It’s you?"
Lin Chuxia looked at the man in front of her, dressed in a Zhongshan suit, standing tall and straight.
With neat short hair, his face carried the unique firmness and determination of a mature man.
Especially his eyes, deep and dark.
Qin Yang had such eyes too.
Lin Chuxia always believed that people’s eyes couldn’t deceive.
Soone with such deep eyes is generally very upright.
But she’s a bit face-blind, looking for a while and still not realizing where she’s seen this man before.
Yet hearing his tone, it seed like he knew her.
He JianShe also realized that Lin Chuxia didn’t recognize him and chuckled softly to remind her, "Not long ago in Qingyuan County, did you save an injured person?"
Lin Chuxia pointed at him, looking up and down, "Was that person you?"
He JianShe nodded, "It was . I haven’t thanked you yet; I truly owe it to your help that ti."
Despite Old Sir He’s disdain, upon hearing his son was injured, he beca a bit anxious.
"What happened? Where are you hurt? Is it serious? Let take your pulse."
He JianShe reassured his father, "It’s nothing now, not a major injury."
Even as he said this, his hand was pulled over by Old Sir He, who, after checking for a mont, gave him a slightly disdainful glance...
