Summer break was almost over, and s.h.i.+ Guang wanted to go visit her aunt and grandma before it ended.
Back when summer break had just started, her grandma had requested for her to visit them. s.h.i.+ Guang knew that her grandma missed her, and she missed her grandma too. However, she had to earn money for her sister’s surgery.
Recently, she could spare some time since there was still a little while before school reopened and the preliminary heats were scheduled.
After purchasing a ticket to get home, she fell asleep that night.
She only opened her Weibo again when she was waiting for her bus the next day.
:
s.h.i.+ Guang sweated.
Who was this? Why was this person scolding her out of the blue?
From the beginning, she had already suspected that this was Lu Yanchen’s account, and at that moment, she even had an urge to give him a call and question him over it. However, she rejected that thought in the next moment.
It might not be Lu Yanchen’s. Furthermore, even if it were, he would definitely not admit it.
Since she was going to board the bus soon, s.h.i.+ Guang decided to just ignore it as she took her luggage and went to queue up.
Her bus ride took around three hours before she returned to her county town. She gave her aunt a call the first thing after she reached.
After hearing that s.h.i.+ Guang had returned, her aunt was astounded. “You’re home? But, we’re all at the provincial city!”
s.h.i.+ Guang was equally taken aback. “What? When did you guys head over? Why did you guys not tell me?”
Her aunt was in quite a spot. “We’ve been here for two days now. Your grandma has a check-up that can’t be done in the county.”
“What? Why? What’s wrong with her? Is there anything serious?” s.h.i.+ Guang was so worried that her entire face went pale and she almost lost her grip on her phone.
So, the reason why her aunt had called her yesterday was because her grandma had fallen ill! Her grandma must have asked her aunt to tell her nothing about it so that she wouldn’t worry!
It must be serious, for her to have to head to the provincial city for the check up, right? Her grandma was getting old, and her body hadn’t really been all that well. Just the previous year, she was diagnosed with issues with her heart. Could it be…?
s.h.i.+ Guang was fl.u.s.tered immediately as she bought a ticket back to the provincial city right away and took yet another three-hour ride back. Along the way, her entire heart was fraught with worries as she rushed to the hospital right after she got off the bus.
Her aunt met her at the hospital’s entrance. When she caught sight of how frightened and pale s.h.i.+ Guang’s face was, she consoled immediately, “Don’t worry! Grandma is fine. It’s just a small routine check-up.”
s.h.i.+ Guang was still not relieved just yet as she hastened her steps, wanting to catch sight of her grandma as soon as possible.
When she caught sight of s.h.i.+ Guang, her grandma was so happy that even all her wrinkles were smiling out. She beckoned over to s.h.i.+ Guang the moment she entered. “My dear granddaughter! You’ve come…!”
s.h.i.+ Guang hugged her grandma tightly right away.
“Why did you say nothing about coming to the provincial city?”
“It’s just a routine check-up. Why should I worry you over it?” As she said that, s.h.i.+ Guang’s grandma pushed her away gently while caressing her cheeks with her wrinkly old hands. “Littly, why have you gotten skinnier…”
s.h.i.+ Guang rubbed her own cheeks. “Skinner? I don’t think so?”
Her grandma replied unhappily, “Look at how sharp your chin is. People who don’t know better might even think that you’ve gone for plastic surgery and taken botox like those internet stars or whatnot.”
Looking at how her grandma was in a rather decent state, s.h.i.+ Guang felt slightly more at ease, and was gradually smiling out before leaning onto her grandma tenderly. “Getting that effect without even having to spend money? Isn’t that quite good?”
“Says who? One looks better with a chubbier face!”
The two of them chatted for a bit before her grandma asked, “Where’s Little Chen? Isn’t he on summer break as well? And he hasn’t returned to visit you?”
s.h.i.+ Guang froze for a moment before shaking her head while smiling, “Nopes, he’s not on break! Look at Mo Jin! She can only return after graduating as well… Haha.”
