[CEO Chapter 34] You must be very cute when you are old

After listening to Madam Yue's emotionless statement, He Sinian was silent for a long time.

Everything was connected, and the doubts that had troubled him for many years finally had an answer.

"Back then in the alley...it was you who saved me."

He picked up Chu Jiao and looked into her

eyes. Chu Jiao blinked, and seeing that she couldn't avoid it, she had to nod.

"I didn't have enough spiritual power at that time, so...that's why you were beaten so badly by those people..."

Chu Jiao attributed all the injuries of He Sinian that year to herself, but she forgot that she was just a little kid at that time.

"You...you..."

He Sinian leaned his head against Chu Jiao's little head, his throat was a little blocked, and the vibration in his heart made him not know what to say at the moment. He just wanted to kiss his little cat and thank her for doing so much for him when he didn't know.

"Meow~" Chu Jiao stretched out her tongue and licked the tip of the man's nose. She didn't think that what she did was worth explaining. Even if He Sinian was not the male protagonist, he picked her up, took care of her, and accompanied her through her childhood. Such feelings were enough for her to do those things.

The feelings between people are always two-way.

Mutual trust, mutual tolerance, mutual care, and mutual redemption.

Anian, I saved you, why didn't you save me?

The warm and affectionate atmosphere between the man and the cat did not last long before it was interrupted by Madam Yue.

"A relationship between a human and a demon will not last forever."

She seemed to be speaking to the two people in front of her, but also to herself.

He Sinian held Chu Jiao in his arms again, but his eyes were looking directly at the woman in black, "What lasts forever is never between people or between demons."

"It's about feelings."

"I love Jiaojiao, no matter she is human or demon."

"In my eyes, she is just her. I love her in any way, including her little temper, her little claws... everything about her can move me."

"When I was young, I firmly believed that she was the salvation given to me by this world, who pulled me out of the abyss."

"She is the only one and belongs to me alone."

"I lost her once, and this time, I will hold her tightly, and no one can separate us."

"You... can't either."

Madam Yue's original contemptuous expression had disappeared, and she asked back with an unclear look in her eyes.

"If she hadn't come to you... or even if you were together now..."

"You would still get married and have children, wouldn't you? After all... demons and humans can't have children..."

He Sinian smiled and shook his head, "It's enough for me to have Jiaojiao."

"I don't care about children."

"Hehe, humans always say one thing and do another." Madam Yue remembered that someone had said this to her. What was the result?

She continued to question.

"Even if she is a demon? Even if she will live much longer than you?"

"Have you ever thought about what it would be like when you are old and she is still young?"

"Will your feelings still be the same?"

In the eyes of the demons, the lifespan of humans is really too short. It is so short that it passes by in the blink of an eye, and it is so short that some feelings cannot be forgotten even after nearly a hundred years.

This time, before He Sinian answered, Chu Jiao spoke first.

"Anian will be just as cute when he's old!"

"And... and I can grow old with him!"

Don't worry about getting old, you'll definitely be cute when you're old.

He Sinian smiled and rubbed Chu Jiao's little head, and continued to answer Madam Yue's questions.

"Old people tend to forget things, but they never forget their longing for you."

"In the last few years of his life, my grandfather didn't recognize anyone, but he still kept mentioning my grandmother's name."

"True feelings will not fade with the passage of time, but will only become more and more unforgettable."

"After my mother gave birth to me, my grandfather named me 'He Sinian'. Sinian means thinking of years. Thinking of my grandmother, years and months."

"What a coincidence... there is also a 'Yue' character in my grandmother's name."

Madam Yue's body froze.

She was stunned, "Your... last name is He? He Sinian?"

Chu Jiao kept repeating "Anian" in her ear, but she never knew the full name. But even if she knew it, she wouldn't care at the time.

"No wonder... No wonder they look so alike..."

Madam Yue suddenly laughed sarcastically again, "You said your grandmother's name is 'Nian Yue'? Haha, what a coincidence. My name is also 'Nian Yue'."

He Sinian finally knew where the familiar feeling when he first met Madam Yue came from.

He stood up and took something out of the room.

"This is a relic left by my grandfather," He Sinian spread out his hand, in which was an antique bronze pocket watch, "Inside... there is a photo of my grandmother."

Pressing the button, a faded photo of two people was placed in the belly of the pocket watch. Although it was black and white and not very clear, it can still be seen that the man in the photo has a facial contour very similar to He Sinian, and if the woman's eyebrows and eyes, if the unique close-fitting curly hair of that era is covered, her appearance is exactly the same as the woman in front of him.

Nian Yue glanced at the photo and frowned, "I have never given birth to a child, nor do I have a grandson as old as you."

"My grandfather has no offspring. My father was adopted by my grandfather's younger brother," He Sinian closed his pocket watch, "So according to blood relationship, I should call my grandfather 'uncle'."

This time, Nian Yue's pretended calm expression finally shattered, "He, he has no offspring!?"

"He, doesn't he have a childhood sweetheart?!"

Nian Yue will never forget that day. She forced herself to escape from the tribe, but when she found the man, she saw him holding a child and standing intimately with a beautiful girl, talking and laughing.

The love and future he promised her all collapsed at that moment.

Nian Yue fled in panic, and from then on, she confined herself to a prison.

"My grandfather went out to fight in the war and didn't come back for many years. His fiancée already had someone else in her heart," He Sinian saw Nian Yue's loss of composure and began to guess, "He broke off the engagement after he came back."

"He told his family that he had someone he liked, but he accidentally lost her. He didn't know where grandma went, but he would always wait for her."

"Just like that... I waited and waited... I waited until my hair turned white and my memory was gone, but I still didn't wait."

He Sinian put the pocket watch into Nian Yue's hand, who was already in tears.

"He never got married in his life, but he let us kids call the person in the photo 'Grandma'."

"He's always waiting for you."
