Xi Lin didn't say that he didn't object to finding a girlfriend at the time because he knew that once he said some words, they would have different meanings.
He found that he seemed to like Wen Shu a little, but did he really plan to marry Wen Shu?
Would she also want to marry him?
His mind was in a mess, and pictures of when he met her kept flashing through his mind, and he was surprised that he seemed to remember every moment clearly.
He even remembered the way her butterfly bones trembled when she was frightened.
She is so delicate.
He couldn't help but the words came up again in his mind. If she married someone who didn't know his importance, she would not be bullied to death.
She married someone else...
Being bullied by others...
Can he accept her marrying someone else? He looked at the ceiling and thought.
The light in the study was still on. Mr. Xi waited until 9:50. He thought his grandson would not come, but there was a knock on the door suddenly.
Xi Lin still went to the study to find the old man.
Because he knew the answer, he seemed unable to accept that she would marry someone else.
He didn't know how much he liked her now, it might even be very shallow, but he understood that he didn't want her to marry anyone else, nor did he want her to be around someone else, nor could he accept that she would be bullied by others.
The two chatted in the study for half an hour before coming out. Xi Lao went back to his room first, and Xi Lin left after about five minutes.
No one knows what the two talked about.
Early the next morning, Xi Lin went out at 7 a.m. and went to work as usual. When he went out, Grandma Xi was sitting at the dining table eating breakfast. Grandpa Xi was sitting next to her, and the old god was reading the newspaper.
She usually gets up very early, but last night she couldn't fall asleep for no reason, so she didn't get up in the morning.
Grandpa Xi raised his eyes from above his glasses and saw that she was not well rested, and said, "Why didn't you sleep well yesterday?" When he returned to the room yesterday, Grandma Xi had already fallen asleep, so she shouldn't be out of energy.
Grandma Xi sighed and said, "When I think about how such a great grandson doesn't know how to serve cabbage, I feel very sad."
Grandpa Xi answered: "Why doesn't your grandson know? He knows a lot."
Grandma Xi slowly turned her head to look at him. Grandpa Xi also suddenly remembered that he was only reading the newspaper in the morning and forgot to tell Grandma Xi. He cleared his throat and said, "Yesterday, Mr. Lin went to the study to find me."
Grandma Xi still looked at him and said in a calm voice: "Then why didn't you tell me earlier."
Mr. Xi: "I forgot."
Grandma Xi... Grandma Xi was not in a high mood when she washed up in the morning, because her husband was very calm and didn't say anything. She thought it was her grandson who didn't respond.
Grandma Xi smiled, but Grandpa Xi felt pain in his arm because Grandma Xi pinched his arm.
Finally, Grandpa Xi told Grandma Xi everything.
Xi Lin went to the study room yesterday and the first thing she said was: "Grandpa, I want to marry Wen Shu."
After Grandma Xi finished eating, Grandpa Xi called Mr. Wen. The two chatted for a while, and then Grandpa Xi took Grandma Xi out and went straight to Wen's house.
When Wen Shu got up, it was already past 8 o'clock. She washed up as usual, wore a simple home nightgown and went out of the room, ready to go downstairs for breakfast. She was halfway up the stairs when she heard someone else's voice below.
There was no one on the sofa facing the stairs. She stopped where she was and listened carefully. When she heard Mother Wen's voice and another old man's voice, she decisively turned around and went back to the room, changed into clothes that could show people, and went back to the room. Come down again.
Mother Wen actually heard her footsteps before, heard her going upstairs again, and guessed that she had gone up to change clothes.
She changed into a white skirt with a square collar and a waist. There was a white rope crossing each collarbone, and there was a white butterfly on one collarbone. The whole person looked smart and beautiful.
The special medicine Mr. Wen at least gave her was applied on her wrist last night. It has almost disappeared, and it is hard to tell if you don't look carefully.
She quickly went downstairs again, walked to the sofa in the living room, and greeted Mother Wen in a soft voice: "Mom, good morning."
Then she looked at the old man who had been looking at her with a smile, but didn't recognize her for a moment.
Mother Wen has already answered: "Shu Shu, come here quickly. This is your Grandma Xi. We were neighbors when we were children. You loved going to her house to play, do you remember?"
Wen Shu looked very familiar to the old man. They moved away when she was twelve or thirteen years old. She had an impression, but she hadn't seen him for many years. She didn't immediately recognize who it was. At this time, she heard After hearing Mother Wen's introduction, she quickly remembered, isn't this Xi Lin's grandmother?
She immediately spoke and greeted with a sweet smile: "Hello, Grandma Xi."
Grandma Xi has been observing the little girl since she came down from Wenshu. After the two families moved one after another, there was not so much contact.
She had seen the little girl's photos in Wen's mother's circle of friends before, what activities she had participated in at school, and what awards she had won. She just felt that the little girl was growing up slowly, and her facial features were gradually opening up and becoming more and more outstanding. I'm afraid she will be more beautiful than Wen's mother when she grows up.
Mother Wen was a famous beauty in the capital back then, and the little girl inherited all the advantages of Father Wen and Mother Wen.
Now when I saw the little girl in person, she really had bright eyes, white teeth and graceful teeth. She was so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes away.
She immediately smiled and said: "Shu Shu has grown up so much, time flies so fast, almost ten years have passed in the blink of an eye."
As she spoke, she extended her hand to Wen Shu. Wen Shu saw her extending her hand and took two steps forward to catch the old man's extended hand.
The old man took the little girl's hand, took off a jade bracelet from his own wrist, and put it on Wen Shu's wrist along the hands held by the two of them. Wen Shu, who moved so quickly, had no time to react, and his wrist had already sunk slightly.
I saw a turquoise bracelet on her fair and slender wrist. The jade bracelet looked delicate and transparent, and it was not ordinary at first glance.
She was startled, and immediately reached out to take it off, and at the same time said: "Grandma Xi, this is too valuable, I can't accept it."
Mother Wen was also startled. Originally, the old man and his wife from the Xi family suddenly came over in the morning. Mr. Wen obviously knew about it in advance and warmly welcomed them in. She had some ideas in mind, but as soon as Mr. Xi came, she just followed Mr. Wen went to the study to play chess, and Mrs. Xi sat here and just talked to her about common things, nothing else.
Now that Wen Shu was given such a valuable thing as soon as she saw him, she had to think more.
Grandma Xi had already reached out to hold Wen Shu's hand that was about to take off the jade bracelet, and said, "No need to take it off, this is a meeting gift from me. You don't need to be polite to me."
After saying that, she raised her head and glanced at Mother Wen. Mother Wen also happened to be looking at Mrs. Xi. The two looked at each other for two seconds. Mother Wen already knew that she was right. She only paused for a few seconds and said: "Shu Shu , take it."
