The new year is approaching.

Both Shang Hexing in Baishi and Wen Zhi in Haishi were extremely busy.

It has been half a month since we last parted.

On this day, Wen Zhi was busy preparing to book a flight back to Baishi, but unexpectedly received a video call from Licheng before getting off work.

"Grandpa."

When Wen Zhi called her grandpa, her tone was very natural. She also deliberately found a spot on her desk with the best light to pick up the video.

In the video, the old man looks good.

Compared with the last video, the old man's condition is much better.

However, the last time Wen Zhi and Shang Hexing came back from Licheng not long ago, and the occasional contact they had was on the phone. This was the second time they made a video call, so Wen Zhi was surprised when he saw the video call displayed on the screen just now.

"You haven't gotten off work so late?" The old man in the video said with a distressed face.

Wen Zhi adjusted the angle of his mobile phone and said to the old man in the video: "I just finished a meeting and was getting ready to get off work when your video call came."

The old man smiled: "What a coincidence."

"No." Wen Zhi smiled back.

Since the relationship with the old man has eased, we have had more contact with him.

Whether it's on the phone or via video chat, Wen Zhi is no longer as reserved as before. At this moment, she fixed her mobile phone in one position, and while clearing away the files on the table, she asked: "Grandpa, have you had dinner?"

"Not you yet, you forgot, our time is different." After the old man finished speaking, he motioned to the person holding the mobile phone: "Show her the weather here."

As the camera moved, Wen Zhi also stopped what he was doing and focused on the picture on the screen.

The sun sets very late in Licheng. In summer, it usually gets dark after ten o'clock. In winter, it gets earlier, and it gets dark around eight to nine o'clock. But at this time, night has already fallen in Haishi.

"Look, it's still very bright here."

At the same time, the camera turned back, and the old man's kind face reappeared in the video.

"It's already dark in Haishi, look." Wen Zhi also turned the camera of his phone to let the old man in Licheng take a look at the night in Haishi.

This floor is backed by a pearl. When night falls, the entire bustling commercial CBD is as gorgeous as a plain-wrapped Milky Way.

The old man stared blankly for a while. When the camera turned back and Wen Zhi's face appeared on the screen, the old man asked, "Are you used to being separated from He Xing?"

Wen Zhi pushed aside the things he wanted to organize and concentrated on chatting with the old man: "I'm quite used to it. He comes here often and I come back often. This is not a different place in a different place."

The old man smiled and said: "You are used to it, but I think He Xing is not used to it. He hopes that you will be by his side all the time so that he can feel at ease."

Wen Zhi pressed down the raised corners of his lips: "Grandpa, please stop joking."

The old man emphasized: "I'm not joking, it's the truth. I just chatted with He Xing before I started video chatting with you. I never left your side in nine out of ten sentences."

This time Wen Zhi's lips couldn't be suppressed anymore and immediately rose.

In fact, Grandpa's words were almost exactly the same as Wen Zhi's words from Nian Xun two days ago.

At that time, she just thought it was Nian Xun's joke, and she even felt that Nian Xun's attention was too broad; now that she heard her grandfather say it again, she realized that everyone could see that Shang Hexing was clingy!
The old man was also very happy. When he was happy enough, he started to get down to business: "Little girl, let me tell you, I won't come back during the Chinese New Year."

Leng Buding heard the old man say he wouldn't come back during the New Year, and the smile on Wen Zhi's face suddenly faded: "Ah? Why don't you come back? Does grandpa have other plans?"

She hurriedly took the phone from the holder, and with her face zooming in on the screen: "I agreed with Shang Hexing that we will pick you up together."

"Don't come to pick me up." The old man waved his hand from the other side of the video: "I will be back before the fifteenth." Wen Zhi suddenly thought of something.

Before she could speak, she heard the old man in the video say: "This year, I will spend the New Year with your grandma."

Wen Zhi suddenly understood.

When he mentioned the deceased old lady, the old lady's expression darkened for a moment, and the brightness in his eyes also faded visibly.

The old man murmured: "It has been many years since I spent the New Year with her."

Wen Zhi comforted her softly: "Grandma will be very happy if you stay there."

The old man regained his composure, and then he mentioned something: "In addition, I am invited to the Spring Festival Gala every year. If I can't go this year, why don't you and He Xing go on my behalf?"

Wen Zhi was stunned and subconsciously asked, "Is it okay if I... go?"

"Why not!"

The old man immediately made a serious face and said in a serious tone: "You are the prospective grandson-in-law that I, Han Qianjiang, have personally recognized. The fifteenth day of the first lunar month will be your wedding to He Xing. By then, the outside world will know about you. You will go with He Xing in a dignified manner. .”

Wen Zhi felt warm in his heart and agreed: "Okay."

Hearing her consent, the old man was also happy, with a smile on his face: "Then it's settled. You can work peacefully in Haishi. You don't have to worry about these tedious things before and after the wedding. There are plenty of people to take care of it."

Wen Zhi was moved.

Although the old man was in Licheng and was not involved in everything, seeing that her wedding to Shang Hexing was approaching, the old man was still very concerned and explained everything in detail.

"The other thing is..." The old man paused for a moment. When he looked at the video again, he apologized: "The scale of your wedding with He Xing cannot be too big. I'm afraid I will wrong you."

Wen Zhi knew this.

She quickly said: "I understand everything."

The old man sighed: "I've wronged you."

"I won't be wronged. Even if there is no special reason, I will prefer a wedding with only relatives and friends. It is more beautiful if it is plain." These are Wen Zhi's inner thoughts.

Shang Hexing has a special status, so naturally he cannot hold a grand wedding. A wedding that is too extravagant and high-profile would be detrimental to his status.

In this regard, Shang Hexing also expressed his guilt to Wen Zhi many times and could not give her a grand wedding.

But Wen Zhi never cared about the size or grandness of the wedding.

If it's too much, it'll be a loss. For her, an ordinary and simple wedding is the best.

The old man knew Wen Zhi's thoughts and began to blame himself again: "If I had agreed to you two being together earlier, maybe it would have been more lively."

Wen Zhi curled his lips and smiled.

After the video call ended, Wen Zhi saw the WeChat message from Shang Hexing. He had booked a flight to Haishi and had already set off.

Wen Zhi held the phone and smiled silly, thinking that there was indeed a connection between them. Just when she was about to book a flight to Baishi, he came.

I saw the Spring Festival.

In previous years, every Spring Festival Gala, the old man would be invited to watch the event live at the guest of honor seat, accompanied by several descendants of the Han family.

This year's Spring Festival Gala, only Wen Zhi and Shang Hexing went together.

CCTV cameras repeatedly panned the audience seats and the guest of honor seats.
