Chu Chengrui spoke with utmost solemnity, almost enunciating each word distinctly, each one resounding and powerful.
After he finished speaking, he released Chu Shiyao's wrist, and his face, lined with the wrinkles of age, once again broke into an incredibly doting smile.
"Grandpa..." Chu Shiyao gazed at Chu Chengrui in a daze, a warm current spreading through her heart, and the word "Grandpa" almost slipped out.
"Alright, I know, I'm not a child. I know what I'm doing."
Chu Shiyao never did call out "Grandpa." After biting her lip hard, she mumbled indifferently, turned, and took a step away.
But when she had completely turned around, she sniffed a little and tilted her head slightly.
