When he got home, Su Yuli suddenly let out a low cry.
Lin Suiyan looked over and asked, âWhatâs wrong?â
Su Yuli said, âXiao Yuan just said that he had been in a relationship with Mu Lang.â
It was also that his reaction time was slow, and it was only now that he reacted.
âWhen did it happen?â Su Yuli frowned and muttered, âHow could I not know. â
However, he remembered that Mu Lang was very promiscuous. He had all kinds of flings in college, and his bed mates changed one after another. But they were just friends with benefits1, and he would get tired of them in a few days.
The original book didnât say that he had a boyfriend/girlfriend.
Su Yuli asked Lin Suiyan: âDid you know about this?â
Lin Suiyan shook his head: âI didnât know.â
Su Yuli frowned. âItâs good to keep it a secret.â He began to wonder when Ding Yuan had dated Mu Lang. Was it during that trip to the hot spring?
Su Yuli shook his head. At that time, Ding Yuan had a cold face. He didnât look like he was in love at all, but like there was some bitterness.
He thought again of Grandma Dingâs attitude towards Mu Lang. Grandma Dingâs temper had always been very good, but she was very disgusted with Mu Lang. What had that scum man Mu done?
Su Yuli followed Lin Suiyan upstairs. The consequence from thinking too much was that he didnât notice Lin Suiyan stopping in front of him, and he suddenly bumped into Lin Suiyan.
Su Yuli hurriedly said: âDid it hurt? Iâm sorry, I-â
âItâs okay.â Lin Suiyan hooked his arm, led him into the room, and closed the door smoothly.
âItâs getting late.â Lin Suiyan gave Su Yuli a push on the shoulder. âYou have class tomorrow. Think about it later.â
Su Yuli glanced at the time. It was two oâclock in the morning. He exclaimed: âItâs so late, Iâm going to wash.â
Su Yuli pulled out his clothes and held them in his arms, and. Before entering the bathroom, he asked Lin Suiyan if he wanted to join him.
Lin Suiyan said: âI wonât do it today. Otherwise you wonât be able to get up tomorrow and youâll be late.â
Su Yuli blinked and quickly understood the meaning of Lin Suiyanâs words. His cheeks suddenly turned red, and he hurriedly explained: âI-I didnât want to do that, I just wanted to wash up early and rest early. You donât have to go to work tomorrow.â
Seeing Su Yuliâs blushing and nervous look, Lin Suiyan chuckled softly: âGo wash up.â
Su Yuli snorted, and after entering the bathroom, he began to reflect on whether he was really too clingy.
After a while, he whispered, âI donât need it every day.â
ââ*â
Ding Yuan was ill, so Su Yuli found an opportunity to visit Grandma Ding.
Su Yuli peeled the apple and said, âXiao Yuanâs school has an activity right now. He canât leave these two days so let me accompany you.â
Grandma Ding looks a little better than a few days ago. She smiled and said: âThen Iâll trouble you.â
âNo trouble.â Su Yuli cut the apple into slices and put them on a plate. Then got a toothpick to insert in them and handed one to Grandma Ding, âYou eat.â
Grandma Ding took it and stabbed a piece and handed it to Su Yuli.
âThank you, grandma.â
Grandma Ding smiled, holding a plate in her old and thin hands. She looked at Su Yuli and said lovingly, âXiao Yuan has you as a good friend. After I leave, I can rest assured.â
Su Yuli, after chewing for a while, raised his eyes: âGrandma, what are you talking about? Donât talk nonsense, you will definitely live a long life.â
Grandma Ding laughed: I know my body. Xiao Yuan has had a hard life and hasnât had many friends all these years. Grandma, thanks you for being friends with him.â
âThereâs nothing to thank me for.â Su Yuli said, âI hit it off with Xiao Yuan, and Iâm happy to be friends with him.â
Ding Grandma nodded, her smile suddenly faded, and she became serious and sad: âXiao Jin, grandma wants to ask you one thing, I hope you can promise grandma.â
Su Yuli hurriedly said: âGrandma Ding, please donât say that. I will do whatever you want me to do.â
Grandma Ding said: âI wanted to watch Xiao Yuan find someone he likes and watch him get married, but now it seems impossible.â Grandma Dingâs voice was full of regret and reluctance. âAfter I leave, I hope you can take care of Xiao Yuan until he finds his other half, okay?â
Grandma Dingâs words sounded like a last wish. How could Su Yuli refuse? He opened his mouth, but his nose felt sore. He couldnât say a word, so he could only nod his head.
Grandma Ding seemed to smile a little, âThank you.â
After Grandma Ding said that, the ward became quiet.
The topic of death was too heavy.
After a while, Su Yuli ate the remaining half of the apple on the toothpick, took a deep breath and cheered up. He caught a glimpse of Grandma Dingâs mobile phone beside her pillow and changed the subject. âGrandma Ding, what have you been busy with these days? If you feel bored, Iâll give you the next book listening software, Kunqu Opera, Huangmei Opera, Beijing Opera and so on. â
He thought that an old woman her age couldnât read and that she wouldnât like to watch TV dramas. So just listen to some music. He knows that many old people like opera.
Grandma Ding shook her head, âNo need.â She picked up the phone and turned to look for her glasses. Su Yuli quickly handed over the reading glasses on the table.
Grandma Ding put on her glasses and said, âAs I get older, I always think of the past.â She skillfully clicked on the photo album on her mobile phone and found a photo for Su Yuli to see.
It was a family portrait.
