Free Web NovelChapter 1644: Chapter 1644: Brother Said, Let’s Blow Up the School
In the evening, the weather wasn’t good.
It was gloomy, and eventually light rain began to fall.
Thin and dense raindrops brushed against people’s faces in the wind, revealing a hazy, smoke-like cemetery.
"Grandpa and grandma are both here." Gu Ziyou, Shen Lingfeng, and Xue Mengmeng stood in front of the two tombstones.
"Although I’ve never met grandma, I’ve heard mom talk about her, and grandpa mentioned her many, many times. Grandma was a very good person. I believe if she were here, she would be very good to me, too." Gu Ziyou placed two bouquets of flowers in front of the two tombstones, "Originally, mom wanted to arrange a joint tomb. But grandpa wouldn’t agree. He was afraid grandma wouldn’t forgive him. He said as long as he was close to her, but not too close, because he was afraid she wouldn’t want to see him. But mom still let them be very close. She thought even if grandma didn’t forgive grandpa, she wouldn’t want to completely break off with him."
If she truly had such a harsh resolve, she wouldn’t have left grandpa’s child behind.
Then mom, she, and her brother, none of them would exist.
Xue Mengmeng didn’t say anything, squatting down to clean the fallen leaves and branches off the two tombstones.
Grandpa Xie took care of her because of Gu Ziyou.
He often took both of them out to play while he was alive.
In his last few years, he spent all his time with his grandchildren.
And that somewhat fulfilled the last little regret of his life.
"I used to be jealous of Nianjing." Gu Ziyou stood before the grave, "I thought since Nianjing shared the same surname as grandpa, grandpa would definitely favor him and not like me anymore. Later, I realized I was overthinking it; grandpa was always very good to me. It’s just a pity that the time I had with grandpa was too short. Grandpa, you always worried about me—what would happen if I was deceived as I grew up or if I was bullied. You can rest easy now."
Shen Lingfeng wrapped an arm around Gu Ziyou, "Grandpa will be at ease, I promise."
Xue Mengmeng stood up and sighed deeply, "Don’t worry, grandpa, I’ll keep an eye on them. But as a reward, grandpa, all you have to do is bless me to find a perfect husband soon."
Gu Ziyou, who had tears in her eyes, burst out laughing, "Mengmeng, weren’t you the one who said you didn’t want to get married?"
Xue Mengmeng shrugged helplessly, "I didn’t really want to at first; I thought I was doing quite well on my own, so why get married? But then seeing you two always being so lovey-dovey without a care, I thought maybe it wouldn’t be so unbearable. Most importantly, if I get married, I won’t be the third wheel anymore, and it won’t be awkward when we hang out together. If you dare to show off your affection, then we’ll see who can show off better, huh!"
On the way back from the cemetery, Xue Mengmeng complained about wanting to sleep and left with the driver.
Gu Ziyou, who had rested well, was full of energy and had the driver stop at their old school.
"Look, do you still recognize it?" As soon as Gu Ziyou got out of the car, she pulled Shen Lingfeng over to take a look, pointing to the building in front, "The gate used to be here. After the renovation, it was moved over there. Do you remember there used to be a big clock on this teaching building? I heard it had been there for many years. But before the school was rebuilt, the clock completely stopped working." freёwebnovel.com
The two of them walked along a small path outside the campus towards the gate.
The sycamore leaves of early autumn fluttered down.
"Actually, the reconstruction began shortly after you left. Do you know why? Because Nianjing said the school was too ugly, and he didn’t want to go there. Dad asked my brother what could make Nianjing willing to attend school. My brother said, just blow up the school and rebuild it."
