The old lady was amused by her words and turned around to look at her, saying, "He wasn't pursuing me, he was tormenting me."
"After we came down the mountain, he deliberately put things in my bag, and later found an excuse to contact me, asking if I had taken his things."
"Then I arranged to meet him and return his belongings, and he insisted on treating me to a meal."
"As it turned out, he had no money on him and asked me to cover it, promising to treat me back next time."
"At the time, I thought I had encountered a scoundrel!" the old lady chuckled heartily, her eyes filled with loving light, and a hint of unspoken excitement.
"I never expected that later the school would find me, saying that someone was supporting me for free. I didn't have to pay for food, lodging, or anything, and they even gave me a scholarship," the old lady said softly.
As she spoke of the past, a light filled her eyes.
"Was it Grandpa who secretly supported you?" Ji Shunuan asked somewhat surprised.
