Chapter 8 – This is QingLan
The moment Shen QingLan met with Fu HengYi again, that was amazing.
He walked in from the door, dressed in ash gray casual s.h.i.+rt, looking tall and stunning, as the sun light hit him on his back. Making his whole body seemed layered in the golden light
His own attractiveness already very high, with this kind of setting made him even more stunning, and making Shen QingLan"s eyes with flashed with other emotion for the first time.
Fu HengYi walked into the living room, his eyes straightly met with Shen QingLan"s gaze.
Shen QingLan hurriedly looked away, it was like a kid who got caught when peeping, it made her slightly uncomfortable, even the tip of her ears that was covered by her long hair became a little red.
“Grandpa, I"m back. Grandpa Shen, long time no see.” Fu HengYi warmly greeted them. Although he spent many years in the army, but his temper wasn"t as stiff like those stereotype soldiers, if he didn"t wear his uniform, he would be the son of the family that was as gentle as a jade.
Grandpa Fu saw that his grandson had returned, and waved his hand across the board, the chess pieces that were lining up neatly on the board instantly disrupted. “No more, no more.”
Grandpa Shen grudgingly shot a glance at him. “You old man, you are such a cheater. Every time you started to lose, you always shamelessly refused to acknowledge it.”
Grandpa Fu"s face had been trained to be thick-skinned in this kind of situation. “Who is cheating, didn"t you see my grandson is already back home, that"s because it"s lunch time now.”
After saying it he ignored old man Shen, and pointed at Shen QingLan, while his face was beaming with joy. “HengYi, this is your Grandpa Shen"s granddaughter, QingLan, when you were a child you had played together, do you remember?”
Shen QingLan was speechless at Grandpa Fu"s introduction.
While Fu HengYi just smiled and nodded his head. Then he stretched out his hand to Shen QingLan. “Fu HengYi, nice to meet you.”
Shen QingLan looked at the big hand in front of her, she reached out hers and shook it. His hand was very big and very rough, because it was covered with calluses, it didn"t bother her, but only made her slightly itching.
“Shen QingLan.” Simple, just the three words, no other things.
They had seen each other just 2 days ago, but at this moment the two of them chose to forget it.
Grandpa Fu seemed to be displeased with the stiffness between the two of them. “QingLan girl isn"t one of your soldier. So why are you so serious about. And you guys only 10 years apart, why are you being so cold to each other. When you were a child you already hug her, and told me that she was the most beautiful little sister that you had ever seen.”
After he said it, all the four other people went stiff.
Fu HengYi looked at his grandfather as his face filled with helplessness, and Shen QingLan"s ears were slowly redden.
Grandpa Fu could ignore Fu HengYi"s gaze right now, this smelly boy could finally take a vacation at home, if this moment didn"t use it good to let them cultivated their feelings, he would never see his future great-grandson.
“Your little sister here, QingLan, was reserved, so she don"t have many friends in the city, you also very rarely can take a break, and haven"t seen each other for almost 10 years. Now that you have time, take QingLan out, there is many delicious and fun things in the city, so have fun.” Grandpa Fu raised his idea.
Grandpa Shen who still hadn"t uttered any words, now finally aware of the fishy situation, this old fellow was actually having an ulterior motive, ahh. He only thought this fellow asked him to come to the Fu Family"s house just to see him, but he actually took a fancy on his granddaughter.
As Grandpa Shen was thinking this, his face became green, he looked at Grandpa Fu"s eyes to lash out what he was thinking. But he chose not to do it because there was presence of the younger generation, so it would be bad if he flared up, and chose to hold his anger inside his mind.
“Lan"er, It"s already late, we should go.” Grandpa Shen didn"t want to stay here any longer, if they did his pure granddaughter could be eaten by this two black belly wolves.
In Grandpa Shen"s eyes, no matter how stubborn Grandpa Fu was, or how kind and gentle Fu HengYi was, both were still black belly.
“Don"t leave, ahh. It still lunch time, just wait after the meal if you want to go back, and i"ll have Fu HengYi to walk you back after that.” Grandpa Fu tried to make them stay, if it was only Grandpa Shen who wanted to go back he wouldn"t care about it. But if QingLan also went back, how would his grandson could cultivate his feelings with her?
But Grandpa Shen was already aware of Grandpa Fu"s intention, as if he could allow him to take a chance of it. He pulled Shen QingLan"s hand to leave right away.
“Smelly boy, why are you still not going to send off your Grandpa Shen.” Looking at the departing back of Grandpa Shen and QingLan, Grandpa Fu still rooted in his place and felt resentful for being so impatient.
At first Fu HengYi didn"t understand his grandfather"s intention, until now. But after seeing Grandpa Shen"s expression, he was afraid that it was not only him who also had sensed it.
“Grandpa.” Fu HengYi reluctantly called out.
Grandpa Fu let out a snort. “Grandpa, what grandpa. Why you still didn"t send them off.”
“Grandpa, she"s only 21 this year. And I, your grandson, was already 31, aren"t you afraid others might say that your grandson is an old cow that was eating a young gra.s.s*?”
(*idiom: for a man who dating woman who"s much younger than he is.)
Grandpa Fu wasn"t really afraid of what others might say, he even said proudly. “My grandson can eat young gra.s.s all he want, naturally he get the ability to do it. If one also have the ability to do it why not.”
“And what"s wrong with 21 years-old, 21 is also a full-grown adult, if it wasn"t because you still haven"t married nor have a child, would I be this worried? Stop saying nonsense, quickly send off your Grandpa Shen.” Grandpa Fu"s tiger eyes glared at Fu HengYi.
Fu HengYi could do nothing, so he didn"t have any other choice but to move his feet.
Luckily, the house courtyard area was big enough, both houses of Fu Family and Shen Family wasn"t that far apart, but Grandpa Shen was already old, so his pace wasn"t really fast. So Fu HengYi quickly caught up with them.
“Grandpa Shen.” Fu HengYi called out as he caught up with them. “My grandpa had such a temper, please don"t take it to heart.”
Grandpa Shen was dissatisfied with Old Man Fu"s antic, that tried to matchmaking their grandchildren. But he had known Fu HengYi since his childhood, so he knew what kind of personality very clear, and he also couldn"t stay mad at his old comrade. Now after Fu HengYi said it this way, the anger in his heart started to dissipate.
“After so many years known him, I"m very clear of that old man"s temper. It"s ok now, it"s not that important. You go back first.”
“I"ll send you home first.”
Grandpa Shen waved his hand. “No need. It"s only a few steps more. What can one be done in this courtyard.”
Nevertheless, Fu HengYi still walked them home.
“My Grandpa"s words, don"t take them to heart.” Before he was leaving, Fu HengYi whispered in Shen QingLan"s ear.
His beautiful low-pitch male tone penetrated her eardrum, it was as if a cello. Shen QingLan shook his dazzling charm a little, suddenly she remembered some saying that Yu XiaoXuan had said before. “Listening to a charming voice could possibly lead to pregnancy.”
Shen QingLan looked at the departing back of the imposing tall and masculine man, one type that maybe couldn"t be found much. For a moment there was a slight emotion in those serene eyes.
Hearing that Fu HengYi had walked Grandpa Shen home, Shen XiTong hurriedly came out without even had time to tidy her self up. But to her disappointment, she couldn"t even see the person who she had been longing and yearning for.
Shen XiTong gazed at the empty s.p.a.ce, her eyes covered with disappointment. It had been three years since the last time she saw him
