"If it's selfish, I hope you don't leave." the old man replied seriously.

The answer surprised Joe. "Why?" she asked.

"Because I promised your grandpa that I would take good care of you for him, and you are also the one I watched when I grew up. Naturally, my feelings for you are deeper than that of girl Yu. At the beginning, I was good to her because I took her as you, so if I had to choose one, I would choose you to stay."

Joe's heart was sour when she heard it. She felt like a villain who lived in the belly of a gentleman. She always thought that her style in those two years had disappointed the old man, but in the old man's heart, she still regarded her as the girl Qiao who he watched grow up.

She took a deep breath, alleviated the mood of crying, and burst into the most brilliant radian of joy.

"Thank you for choosing me. I thought you would choose her. She is much more sensible and clever than me, so I'm really glad you can choose me. Although your choice can't change the fact that I'm about to leave, I'm still very happy."

Joe smiled and told the cruel truth that was heavy and sad for her.

The old man couldn't laugh any more. His eyes looked at Qiao Yu sadly, and the atmosphere became deep and sad for a moment.

"She will know that you are so sad for me. When she comes back, she should be sad and angry with you." Joe smiled and teased the old man to try to adjust the atmosphere.

The old man sighed when he heard the speech, "the girl is kind-hearted. She will understand."

"Well, she is really kind-hearted. In fact, I can come back with her help. Without her, I can't chat with you calmly here, so Grandpa, don't worry. I was joking with you just now. She won't be angry with you and ignore you when she comes back."

"She is kind-hearted, and so are you." the old man reached out and touched Joe's head like a child's head.

The gentle appeasement made Qiao Yun think of old Joe. Her nose was sour and nodded, "well, I'm kind-hearted, or how can I be so beautiful? I don't all say that I'm born from my heart. Naturally, I'm kind-hearted."

"But Grandpa, I hope you don't let Grandma Zhan know about it. Anyway, I'll leave soon. Please cover for me these days. She'll come back after these days. Let her go home then, and I won't go."

The old man: "you fight grandma, she is a knife mouth tofu heart. Although she was angry with you on the surface in the past two years, she still cares about you in her heart. Don't be angry with her."

"I'm not angry with grandma Zhan. Grandma Zhan is in poor health now. Don't let her know about this kind of thing, which will block her heart. If she knows, she will feel sorry for me like grandpa you. Forget it."

"Well, listen to you. When will you leave?"

Joe shook his head. "I don't know this very well. I just know about it. Grandpa, don't worry about it. I hope you don't know anything more than seeing me off."

"Alas, you child..."

"Grandpa, since you're here, why don't we play chess? She always deliberately loses to you, and I won't let you go." Qiao Zhen simply changed the topic. She didn't like to hold on to sad things.

"Well, come and play chess. Don't look down on Grandpa, you girl. My chess skill has been improving all the time! It doesn't necessarily mean I can't beat you."

"Then I'll have someone prepare chess equipment!"

"If you are still a patient, don't toss about. I'll go and come back soon." the old man pressed Joe down.

Joe nodded his head and watched the old man leave the ward.

When the old man came out of the ward, his face was very heavy. He first asked Zhan Nanting to send chess tools. After making arrangements, he motioned Zhan Nanting to go with him.

They went to the smoking room.

The old man has quit smoking for many years. Zhan Nanting doesn't smoke recently. They just sit there.

"I know everything about girl Qiao and girl Yi. Although I don't know what strange news there is here, I don't want you to ask more. I just want to say a few words. Listen if you like, and don't think I didn't say it." the old man said solemnly.

Zhan Nanting nodded at the speech and listened quietly.

The old man doesn't ink either.

"I know what your boy likes is girl Yu. Girl Yu is very good. My old man is also a hundred satisfied with her. Your grandmother likes her too. You know that."

"I also know that when you promised to marry girl Qiao, it was a delaying measure. You never planned to marry her, nor did you cultivate feelings with her. You just took her as a responsibility and a task. When the time is ripe, you will find a way to dissolve the engagement."

The old man gave Zhan Nanting a meaningful look and continued:

"I've also experienced it at your age. I can guess what you think and plan now. I can understand it. Just, girl Qiao, she will leave soon. Let her have a happy life for the rest of her life. Don't always face her."

Zhan Nanting was listening with a straight face. He didn't nod or shake his head.

The old man said reluctantly, "I know you have only one girl in your heart. Then you take girl Qiao as your sister. Didn't you hold her many times when she was a child? Just treat her as the child, be gentle and take care of her, and be a grandpa. Please."

"Grandpa didn't take good care of the girl Qiao for old Joe. I don't know how to tell old Joe when I go down. You should think it's for the sake of my old man. Can you feel better?"

It was the first time that old man Zhan sincerely asked Zhan Nanting to do this. In the past, he just had something to ask Zhan Nanting to do, which was also called by a smelly boy.

It can be seen that the old man really hopes that Joe can have a happy life in the next short time.

This made Zhan Nanting, who wanted to refuse, unable to simply say what he refused.

The old man is already a white haired old man. There may be only one thing left in his life that can make him put down his posture and ask for help.

"Well, if you come back later and get angry with me about this, I'll explain it to her for you, and I'll tell her I forced you." the old man added when he saw Zhan Nanting didn't nod.

Zhan Nanting: "she's not unreasonable. You don't have to explain to her."

"Then you promised?" the old man's eyes lit up.

"I will respect her wishes and help her fulfill her last wishes."

Old man Zhan frowned and said, "can't you just say yes? You have to be so straightforward. Don't say this in front of girl Qiao. It's hard for you to listen to your last wish or not!"

"I see."

"Later, I'll play a game of chess with girl Qiao and go first. She's probably embarrassed to be here. She has to accompany me, the old man. Then she'll be taken care of by you. You have to take good care of her. Don't let her go to the hospital. There aren't many days in total..."

The old man raised his hand, wiped his eyes, got up and walked out.

At this time, the chess set had also been sent, which was taken from the dean's office.

Qiao Zhen played a game of chess with the old man. She lost. The old man left the ward with a smile and left Zhan Nanting with her.

Qiao Zhen cleaned up the pieces on the chessboard one by one, with a leisurely posture.

"Grandpa has gone, so don't act. I know what grandpa must have said to you just now, but your acting skills are so bad that you can't act well for me. Hurry up." Joe said as he cleaned up.

Zhan Nanting sat down opposite Qiao.

"You play a game of chess with me. You win. I'll listen to you for the next few days. If I win, you'll listen to me. How about it?"

"Hiss, you want to win me too? I'm a go master, okay?"

"Dare not?"

"Ha! I dare not? Come on! Bet as you say!"
