"Xiao Jue you come over." Grandmother smiled to Feng Yulin stretched out her hand.
"Wait a minute. This persimmon is very sweet. You can taste it." He took an all red persimmon into the bathroom to wash, wiped it clean and walked over. He sat with her on the balcony.
"Xiao Jue, what are you doing recently?" She did not take his persimmon, but tightly held his hand, her voice holding some grievance. "You have not come to see me for a long time."
Feng Yulin moved his lips and glanced at Ling Jue on the other end. Finally, he looked at the old woman with a chuckle. "I've been a little busy recently."
"Are you going to school? But it's summer vacation now."
"There's something going on at school. They said that they're giving me a salary so that I can tutor my classmates," Feng Yulin lied casually.
Grandma's face was filled with joy. "Is that so? That's great. Xiao Jue is the best. Study hard..."
The corners of her eyes were a little moist. "Grandma is already seventy years old. She's lived for too long. She knows that she doesn't have much time left..."
Ling Jue closed her eyes and clenched her fists. However, the old woman's voice kept ringing in her ears.
"After grandma leaves, go back to Mingxi village and help me pack my things. Bury me in the back mountain of Mingxi Village. Bury me quietly. Don't let the villagers know about this. They'll think that I'm still alive..."
"Qinglian must hate me to death. It's my fault too. She doesn't want to see me. Don't let her know that I'm dead."
"..."
Ling Jue's heart ached. This was a feeling she had never experienced before.
It was indeed impossible for a person to stay if they wanted to leave.
It was just like her mother in the past. Even though her father had activated his superpower later on, he could not save her anymore.
Ling Jue's throat tightened. She turned her head away and stopped looking at the two people by the window.
Her grandmother took the persimmon from Feng Yulin's hand, peeled it, and took a small bite. She looked at him with a smile. "Xiao Jue, this persimmon is so sweet."
Feng Yulin turned his head to look at Ling Jue. He was not looking at her right now, so he did not know what kind of expression he had on his face.
He frowned. This kid was really pitiful.
Then... His plan...
Feng Yulin chuckled. Was he a soft-hearted person?
Wasn't he always determined not to give up until he achieved his goal?
Now, he was actually going to be soft-hearted because of this kid? Haha.
"Xiao Jue, are you still coming to visit me tomorrow?"
"Yes."
"By the way, is that kid your friend?" Grandma pointed at Ling Jue who was sitting on the sofa and chuckled. "Other than the special guards, he's the one who comes the most. He's even more diligent than my own biological grandson."
"Yes, my friend." Feng Yulin looked at Ling Jue with a smile.
"You have a good friend." Grandma smiled and held his hand. She looked at Ling Jue and said, "He doesn't look like he likes to smile. You have to take care of your friends so that you can have a lot of friends."
Feng Yulin nodded and hid the worry in his heart. He smiled and said, "Have a good meal. I've asked someone to find a cat and bring it to you tomorrow."
"Okay, okay, okay!" The old woman laughed immediately. "I love cats the most. It's as cute as my Xiao Jue when he was young..."
"You guys chat. I'm going out for a while." Ling Jue stood up quickly. She felt that the air here was suffocating.
After leaving the door, she came to the end of the corridor and looked at the sky outside.
A moment later, a person walked out. It was Feng Yulin. He patted his shoulder and handed him a cigarette. "Actually, as a man, you have to go through a lot of things. This thing is very relaxing."
Ling Jue's eyes dimmed. She reached out to take it and Feng Yulin lit it for him. "This is my first time lighting a cigarette for someone."
Ling Jue looked at the lit cigarette with a calm expression.
