She didn't eat much for dinner last night, and Aunt Hong was worried that she was starving, so she said, "Wait a minute, I'll pour you a glass of milk before you leave."
"No, I'll drink it when I come back." An Ci said as he ran out, fearing that if he was a step slower, An Zhenxiong would be out.
She ran all the way to the castle where An Zhenxiong lived, and when she approached the garden, she saw An Zhenxiong practicing Tai Chi.
"Grandpa." She called softly.
An Zhenxiong glanced at her, and his intuition told him that the little brat must have something to talk to him about.
He withdrew his hand and performed a set of Tai Chi, sweating a lot. "Is your cold better?"
An Ci nodded and handed him a towel attentively.
An Zhenxiong took the towel and wiped his sweat, then glanced at her and asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
An Ci was too lazy to beat around the bush and said directly, "Grandpa, Shen Mo is gone. Can you help me find his whereabouts?"
It was indeed because of this matter.
An Zhenxiong showed an expected expression, casually placed the towel on the table, then pulled out a chair and sat down.
"Xiao Ci, listen to grandpa. Xiao Mo must have his reasons for leaving without telling you." He said earnestly.
"Grandpa knows you two have a good relationship, but this is his decision, so we should respect it."
She didn't care about any bullshit, she just wanted to know whether he was living well and safe.
An Ci squatted down beside An Zhenxiong, grabbed his arm, and shook it. "Grandpa, you watched him grow up, too. He likes to handle everything on his own. He's cut off contact with everyone, so something big must have happened to him. Could you please help me check his whereabouts? I beg you."
An Zhenxiong remained unmoved and said calmly, "We can discuss other things, but I can't help you with this one."
Looking at the situation, An Ci guessed that Shi Che must have informed him in advance, otherwise her grandfather would not be so heartless.
"Grandpa, I promise to do well in this final exam. Please help me this time." She begged persistently.
Since she was a child, An Zhenxiong has always spoiled her, but he was unexpectedly firm on this matter.
He asked jokingly, "Can you get full marks in every subject?"
An Ci nodded without hesitation.
However, An Zhenxiong remained unmoved. "Even if you can get full marks, I can't help you."
An Ci had no choice but to kneel down with a plop, his knees hitting the ground.
An Zhenxiong was stunned at first, then frowned, "What are you doing? Get up quickly."
An Ci refused to get up, his eyes dim, "Grandpa, he didn't even contact Uncle Che, he must be having a hard time. I just want to do my best to share some of his burden."
He was especially good to her, and she wanted to be good to him too. She thought that he disappeared without a word for her own good, but he never asked her if she needed this kind of kindness.
Rather than this one-sided belief, she prefers to share the hardships with him.
"Xiao Ci, everyone goes through hardships as they grow up. Since Xiao Mo doesn't want you to know his whereabouts, just fulfill his wish. When he wants to show up, he will show up on his own."
After he said this, An Ci knew that this would definitely not work, and his expression became visibly depressed.
She suddenly fell silent. An Zhenxiong patted her shoulder and said gently, "You don't have to go to class today. Go back and have a good rest."
