Lin Changshui wasn't tall, with graying hair. His face, weathered by the years, bore wrinkles that time had etched deeply into his skin.
Watching Lin Xiaoxiao run toward him, Lin Changshui's face broke into an uncontrollable smile as he opened his arms wide and indulgently picked her up.
"Oh my, my sweet granddaughter, Grandpa missed you too."
"Look, what's this?"
Like a magician pulling a trick, Lin Changshui took a piece of candy from his pocket and held it in front of Lin Xiaoxiao.
"Thank you, Grandpa!" Lin Xiaoxiao tore open the candy wrapper, ready to pop it into her mouth.
"Still eating? You'll have no teeth left at this rate." Lin Mo scolded and then quickly added, "Get down now, have you forgotten about Grandpa's bad back?"
Not long ago, Lin Changshui had undergone surgery for a lumbar disc herniation, and the doctor had specifically advised him to minimize physical labor.
"Hmph..." Lin Xiaoxiao snorted, purse-lipped, and complained, "Grandpa, Daddy is picking on me."
