He looked at the carriage and then turned around, walking towards Grandpa Gu with purpose. As he approached, he bowed his head slightly and folded his hands in front of him.
"Greetings, Master Gu," he said, his tone polite and respectful, a slight smile gracing his lips.
Seeing him bow, the old mer hurriedly grabbed his shoulders, his movements swift and filled with urgency. He then touched Young Master Chu's cheek with a familiar tenderness.
"You child, why are you calling me Master Gu? Call me Grandpa as usual," he implored, his eyes shining with warmth and affection as they met the young master's gaze.
Feeling the warmth of the old mer's hand on his face, Young Master Chu gently placed his hand over Grandpa Gu's, the gesture intimate and filled with reverence.
"No, Master Gu," he replied softly, his voice carrying a gentle resolve.
