Chapter 940 Making Friends
The girl looked somewhat like Qiao Xing, so Grandpa Qin enjoyed chatting with her.
The girl was also very talkative and always made Grandpa Qin very happy.
Qiao Xing thought that Grandpa Qin would be bored alone in the hospital, so she asked Qin Ce to bring her to the hospital early.
She had nothing better to do than stay at the Qin family's house, so she might as well spend more time with Grandpa Qin at the hospital.
"Tang Xi needs to see me about something. I'll come pick you up when I'm done."
When getting out of the car, Qin Ce gave Qiao Xing some instructions.
Qiao Xing nodded, "Okay, you can go ahead and get busy."
After getting out of the car, Qiao Xing waved to Qin Ce and said, "Then I'm leaving."
Qin Ce watched her enter the hospital, but then he saw Qiao Xing take two steps, then suddenly stop and look to her right.
Qin Ce asked her from inside the car, "What's wrong?"
Qiao Xing frowned in confusion, then realized she was overthinking it. She turned to Qin Ce and said, "It's nothing."
For some reason, she felt like someone was watching her these past two days.
But no suspicious person was found; perhaps it was just her imagination.
Qiao Xing didn't take it to heart. She went to Grandpa Qin's ward, and before she even went in, she could hear Grandpa Qin's hearty laughter coming from the ward.
Qiao Xing was a little surprised. Only one day had passed, and Grandpa Qin had already made friends at the hospital?
Unexpectedly, when she entered the ward, Grandpa Qin was playing chess with a girl.
Qiao Xing recognized the girl; she was the caregiver the hospital had arranged for Grandpa Qin.
"Grandpa." Qiao Xing walked into the ward, and Grandpa Qin and the girl looked up at the same time.
"Xingxing, you're here!" Grandpa Qin greeted Qiao Xing. "Come and see how Grandpa's chess game is going!"
When the caregiver saw Qiao Xing, she immediately stood up and nodded somewhat shyly, "Hello, Miss Qiao..."
Qiao Xing saw the chessboard and asked Grandpa Qin, "Grandpa, where did this chessboard come from?"
"Xiaoxiao bought it for me."
"Xiaoxiao?"
Just as Grandpa Qin was about to introduce it, the girl next to him hurriedly explained, "Miss Qiao, I bought this chessboard. Grandpa Qin told me that he loves playing chess, so I thought I'd buy him a chessboard so he won't get bored..."
She spoke cautiously, afraid that Qiao Xing would blame her.
After all, her main job was to take good care of Grandpa Qin; other matters were not within her scope of work.
She was afraid that Qiao Xing would blame her for this.
Grandpa Qin was probably afraid that Qiao Xing would say something about Xiao Xiao, so he spoke up for the little girl, "Xiao Xiao meant well. She even paid for this chessboard herself. Besides, Xiao Xiao can play chess. She played two games with me just now, and I almost lost to her."
Xiao Xiao blushed with embarrassment, "That's because Grandpa Qin was lenient with me."
Qiao Xing had considered that Grandpa Qin might be bored in the hospital, but she never thought of doing anything to help him pass the time.
This girl not only remembered what Grandpa Qin liked, but also put it into practice.
This is already quite remarkable.
At least Qiao Xing and Qin Ce didn't expect this.
Qiao Xing smiled gratefully at the girl, "Thank you for your help. How much is the chessboard? I'll transfer the money to you."
Xiao Xiao immediately waved her hand, "No need, no need! I'm already very lucky to be able to come here to take care of Grandpa Qin. I didn't have much money to begin with, so it's really not necessary."
Even though she said that, Qiao Xing still wanted to transfer the money to her.
After all, we're all just working away from home, and life isn't easy for anyone. Nobody wants to spend that money for no reason.
Qiao Xing had already taken out his phone, ready to transfer money to Xiao Xiao, but she still refused, saying, "I... I have something to do. You guys chat, call me if you need anything."
After saying that, he left without waiting for Qiao Xing to say anything.
Grandpa Qin couldn't help but praise Xiaoxiao, "This girl is really good. She's articulate, hardworking, and has a good personality. She has no temper at all. I just casually mentioned that I like playing chess, and she immediately ran off to buy a chessboard. She can even play chess. What a wonderful girl!"
After praising her, Grandpa Qin added, "And I think she looks a bit like you. When she first entered the ward yesterday, I almost mistook her for you. Seeing her always reminds me of you."
"Like me?" Qiao Xing pointed to himself, somewhat doubting whether Grandpa Qin had made a mistake.
She didn't think the girl looked like her.
"Yes, if you look closely, they don't look quite alike, but there is a resemblance in their eyebrows and eyes, especially when they talk. It's exactly the same as when I first saw you."
Qiao Xing smiled and joked with Grandpa Qin, "Then why don't you consider taking her in as your goddaughter or something?"
"Then forget it," Grandpa Qin said with a smile. "Granddaughter, you're enough for me."
Qiao Xing feigned surprise and said, "When did I become your granddaughter? Aren't I your granddaughter-in-law?"
“To me, a granddaughter-in-law is just like a granddaughter.”
"No way, I didn't agree to be your granddaughter."
Grandpa Qin snorted, "It's not up to you."
Grandpa Qin became exceptionally happy as soon as Qiao Xing arrived.
Qiao Xing played a few games of chess with him.
Qiao Xing's chess skills have improved considerably thanks to Grandpa Qin's guidance.
I almost beat Grandpa Qin in those two games.
Grandpa Qin didn't care about winning or losing at all. He just wanted Qiao Xing to win a couple of rounds to make her happy, so he deliberately let her win.
To everyone's surprise, Qiao Xing objected, "Grandpa, you said that playing chess is like being a person. You can't just give in when you have no other choice. If you can't win, you can't win. You don't have to let me win."
Grandpa Qin laughed heartily, "Good, good, good, you child, after spending so much time with Qin Ce, you've started talking just like him."
"She's my wife, of course she should be the same as me."
Speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrives.
No sooner had Grandpa Qin finished speaking than Qin Ce stood at the door of the ward.
He didn't know when he came back, but judging from what he said, he had probably been there for a while. Qiao Xing and Grandpa Qin were just too focused on playing chess to notice him.
When Grandpa Qin heard his boastful tone, he couldn't help but want to punch her.
"You're so smug now, but when I asked you to marry Qiao Xing, you were absolutely unwilling."
To appease him, Qin Ce lowered his head for once, saying, "Yes, I was young and ignorant back then, and I am still grateful to Grandpa."
Qiao Xing smiled to himself.
When Qin Ce arrived, Grandpa Qin had no intention of letting him off the hook. "Since you're here, play a couple of rounds with me. I'll let Qiao Xing win, but I won't let you win."
"No need to let me win. It's not certain whether you can beat me."
Grandpa Qin laughed and scolded him, "You brat, how dare you talk to your grandpa like that!"
Qiao Xing watched the two play chess from the side.
This wasn't the first time Qin Ce and Grandpa Qin had played chess, but every time she watched them play, she found it incredibly exciting.
Although the two didn't exchange a single word, it was like two masters exchanging blows, and Qiao Xing realized that when she played chess with Grandpa Qin, he was truly letting go of the entire Pacific Ocean.
