meow if you are happy

Chapter 78 Destiny to meet thousands of miles

The next day, what surprised Chi Yan was that Qin Mingming and Xu Zihao unexpectedly came to visit his grandfather with large and small bags.

Qin Mingming was not surprised that Xiao Xiu, who had no relatives, came to see Chi Yan to celebrate the New Year.But Xiao Xiu was surprised. She pointed at the two people who came in together and said, "You..."

Qin Mingming spoke first, "It's just a coincidence."

Xu Zihao said: "This is called meeting each other thousands of miles away by fate. Do you think it is so simple to meet by chance~~"

"Ha ha."

Xu Zihao was very friendly when he saw his grandfather, "Grandpa!! Have you missed me?"

Chi Yan whispered: "You didn't just come here on New Year's Day."

Grandpa took off his flower glasses and walked over slowly with his hands behind his back, "I miss you, I miss you. Come on, bring your friends over and try the tea that grandpa brewed."

Xu Zihao raised his eyebrows and glanced at Qin Mingming, "Okay!"

After lunch, the two of them left first, fearing to disturb grandpa's rest.While watching TV, grandpa said to Chi Yan: "You have really good friends. It would be nice to take a break."

As he spoke, he seemed to let out a long sigh of relief.

Chi Yan said: "Grandpa, you will be 82 years old next year. How can you live alone? Why not... move back."

Grandpa stroked Ah Fu and said, "Ah Fu is with me, that's enough."

"Can……"

"Ayan, don't worry. The old neighbors around me are very kind to me and come to talk to me from time to time. This is my home where I have lived for 60 years. I don't want to go anywhere. Even if I die, I have to die here." Peace of mind..."

Chi Yan understands his grandfather's temper. He is gentle and kind on the outside, but he is also a very persistent person in his heart.

He had no choice but to plan in his mind that he would come back every now and then, and the bookstore would not be open for a few days, and he would also take good care of his grandfather.

Chi Yan and Xiao Xiu stayed there until Po Wu day before leaving.

At the door, Chi Yan suddenly stopped and said, "Grandpa, it's cold outside. Please go back."

In the sun, grandpa's white hair was dazzlingly bright.He smiled so hard that his eyes curled up, like crescent moons, and his originally cloudy pupils were dimmed with a faint, gentle light.

He nodded, "Okay. I'll watch you go."

Just as Chi Yan turned around, he turned back and warned: "When you are cooking, you must remember to turn off the fire, don't forget to lock the door, and..."

Grandpa stretched out his hand and gently stroked Chi Yan's soft hair like he did many years ago, "Okay, okay, I remember it all. You have said it many times. You should also eat more, look at how thin you are. Yes, Xiaoxiu, grandpa will entrust him to you."

Xiao Xiu nodded confidently, "Don't worry, grandpa!"

She looked up at Chi Yan and saw that there seemed to be faint tears in his eyes.

"I'm leaving."

"Well, slow down on the road."

Chi Yan turned back three times, until he was far away, and his grandfather was still standing in front of the door, just like he did when he was a child. No matter when he went back, his grandfather would wait for him to come back and ask him, "A Yan, are you hungry? Grandpa?" I’ll prepare something delicious for you.”

It was his warmest home.

Time flies so fast, and in a blink of an eye, the Spring Festival holiday is over.For people like Chi Yan who don't have to work a nine-to-five job, they naturally have no idea about the Spring Festival holiday. The reason why he knew the holiday was over was because he received a call from the editor of the publishing house early in the morning.

"Master Chi Yan, are you having fun during the Spring Festival?" Before Chi Yan could answer, the editor of the publishing house got straight to the point, "It's a new year and a new beginning, do you want to write me a novel?"

"Sir~ Please, for the sake of me calling you on the first day of work, please seriously consider this matter, okay?"

"Seriously, I'm really interested in the story about the detective who was the murderer that you mentioned to me before!"

……

The publishing editor on the other end of the phone kept talking.

"For the time being..."

"Oh, sir, how about this? Let's have a meal together when you have time?" As if he knew what Chi Yan was going to say next, the editor of the publishing house quickly interrupted him and didn't give a damn. His chance to say "no."

After a few perfunctory words, Chi Yan hung up the phone.He looked at the sporadic snowflakes floating outside the window. It's not that he didn't want to write it again, but he... still couldn't do it.

"Chi Yan, Chi Yan~" Xiao Xiu didn't even have time to change his clothes when he opened his eyes, so he ran straight into Chi Yan's arms in his pajamas, "Good morning~"

Chi Yan habitually reached out and touched her head: "You go and wash up first, and I'll make breakfast for you."

Xiao Xiu nodded obediently, and before going to wash up, he suddenly asked: "Are we going to the bookstore today?"

Chi Yan hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: "No, go to the mall."

Xiao Xiu was particularly happy when he heard that he was going to the mall: "Can I go play on my favorite trampoline?"

"Yeah." Chi Yan put on his apron and turned around and went into the kitchen and started busy.

When Xiaoxiu washed and changed her clothes and came out, her favorite porridge with preserved eggs and dried fish was almost ready.As usual, Chi Yan filled the porridge and placed it on the dining table.

"And this, your favorite bread." As soon as Xiao Xiu sat down on the chair, Chi Yan pushed the Xiao Xiu's favorite bread he bought early in the morning in front of her.

Xiao Xiu stretched out his hand and pinched a piece of bread and stuffed it into his mouth. While eating, he mumbled, "It's delicious! Chi Yan~~ You should sit down and have breakfast~"

Chi Yan nodded and sat down next to him.Compared with Xiao Xiu's breakfast, Chi Yan's was much simpler. There was only white porridge in the bowl in front of him.

"The preserved egg and dried fish porridge made by Chi Yan is really delicious~~" Xiao Xiu praised Chi Yan while pushing the bowl in front of him towards Chi Yan, "Chi Yan really doesn't like such delicious food. Are you ready to try it?”

……

Chi Yan waved his hand: "I'm used to drinking white porridge."

After eating, Chi Yan took Xiao Xiu out.It's still a bit cold outside now. Before going out, Chi Yan specially found a scarf to wrap around Xiao Xiu.

"Chi Yan, look~it's so beautiful!" Although the Spring Festival has ended, the New Year atmosphere can still be seen everywhere. Xiaoxiu pulled Chi Yan's clothes with one hand and pointed to the beautifully decorated trees and trees in front of him with one hand. street lights.

"This is beautiful too!" Her eyes moved to the red lantern next to her, "The human New Year is so lively!"

These are all normal scenes for Chi Yan. He used to like this kind of atmosphere, but from a certain moment, this lively and warm atmosphere became incompatible with him.

——Until this year, Xiao Xiu appeared.

"Chi Yan, Chi Yan~ Let's spend the next year together, okay?" Xiao Xiu's eyes were full of expectation.

next year……

Chi Yan looked at the girl in front of him, and was stunned for a moment. At that time, she must have returned to her own country.

He wanted to say something, but nothing came out when he opened his mouth.He couldn't refuse the girl in front of him who was full of expectations, but he was even more afraid that the promise would not be fulfilled and she would be disappointed.
