"Seven years have passed in the blink of an eye, and your uncle has a lot of gray hair, but I always feel as if he was awake just yesterday."
Gu Jueye looked at the man on the bed.
"We are often surprised by how quickly time has passed when we look back. Everything that has happened seems like it just happened recently. This is actually a sign of aging."
Old Qin chuckled and said, "The older you get, the more memories you have. I still remember your uncle, your mother, and what you all looked like when you were little. I just don't know if I'll ever be able to say another word to your uncle in my lifetime."
The fact that his son became a vegetable was a huge blow to Qin Lao. Although Qin Lao appeared very calm during the past seven years, and even on the day the incident happened, he participated in the investigation of the murderer with great composure, Gu Jueye knew in his heart that his grandfather's profession had made him used to not showing his emotions. In fact, his pain and sorrow were buried in his heart.
"That day will surely come, and I will definitely find a way to cure my uncle."
He will never forget his original intention in choosing cell biology. If his uncle hadn't appeared in time seven years ago, he would be the one lying here.
Old Qin raised his cloudy eyes and looked at Gu Jueye: "Your uncle loves you the most. Now that you're so successful, he must be very proud. By the way, how are things between you and that girl from the Bai family?"
"We are fine."
Old Qin stood up from the bed with his cane, and Gu Jueye reached out to help him.
"Bai is smart and wise. Few girls her age can compare to her. You have good taste. She is the most compatible person of the opposite sex with you in terms of spirit. Seize the opportunity."
Thinking of his own girl, Gu Jueye's lips curled into a faint smile.
"I will."
Old Qin was helped out of the bedroom by Gu Jueye, and slowly walked down the stairs to the tea room on the first floor. He sat down and looked at the dimwitted man fighting cocks on the lawn outside the window.
“Your mother has always been short-sighted and has a hard time seeing things clearly. Fortunately, your grandparents are wise old people and understand what you really want. As for you, you've always had your own ideas, and no one can interfere with them. Settle down on your life's important matters as soon as possible. Your grandparents and I are getting old, and we might pass away one day. We would still have regrets if we didn't see you get married and start a career.”
"Qianmo is still young. I want to wait another two years. Besides, she has her own pursuits, and I don't want her life to be compromised because of me."
Old Qin snorted: "You're always thinking of her best interests. But I'm an experienced man. What men and women need is passion. Once the honeymoon phase is over, you might want to marry her, but she might not want to marry you. There are plenty of young heartthrobs in the entertainment industry. I don't follow that circle, but just look at your cousin. Today she likes this one, calling him 'husband' or 'brother,' and tomorrow she's obsessed with some cute puppy or wolf. What will you do when your little girl becomes obsessed with cute puppies or wolfs?"
Gu Jueye held the yew teacup in his slender hands. In the sunlight, his otherworldly face was as white and translucent as mutton fat jade. His long, thick, curled eyelashes trembled slightly, and his thin lips pursed.
"You have so little confidence in me?"
Old Qin rolled his eyes at Gu Jueye: "Don't think I don't know that Bai girl is your ex-girlfriend from Y country. She can dump you once, and she can dump you a second time."
Gu Jueye's brows furrowed: "You'd better hope I'm alright. If she runs away again, you'll never see your grandson again in this lifetime."
"I'm giving you a warning. When you're free in a couple of days, bring Bai Yatou over, and I'll help you sound her out."
Gu Jueye didn't say anything more.
I chatted with the old man for a while when my phone, which was lying to the side, rang.
Upon seeing the incoming call, Gu Jueye picked up his phone and walked out of the tea room.
"Seventh Master, we have news about the person you are looking for."
