Fearing that the old man might harm her, Rong Qing quickly went into the living room. "Grandpa, Niannian is back!"
"What? Niannian is back?!" Old Master Shi was shocked, his eyes widening in panic. "Where is she? Where is she?"
"They're right at the door, they'll be coming in soon," Rong Qing said gently.
Still at the door?
So you haven't come in yet, and you haven't heard his lively voice from earlier?
Old Master Shi's eyes darted around.
The next second, he stiffened up and collapsed onto the sofa, his hands trembling like someone with Parkinson's disease. He cried out in pain, "Ouch, ouch... I can't go on, I can't live anymore... Why hasn't my dear grandson come back to see me yet? If he were here with me, I might live a few more days..."
Rong Qing: "..."
At this moment, Shi Nian had already passed through the entrance hall and slowly walked into the living room.
All eyes turned to Shi Nian.
Old Master Shi kept glancing at Shi Nian.
He desperately wanted to rush over and hug his lost granddaughter, but remembering his weak and vulnerable persona, he could only continue to look at Shi Nian pitifully with trembling hands.
“Niannian… my dear grandson… you’re finally back? Heaven must have taken pity on this old man, allowing me to see my beloved grandson before I die? Cough cough cough… this old man has no regrets in dying…” Old Master Shi said, tears streaming down his face.
Shi Nian blinked her large, clear eyes and looked at the old man lying on the sofa.
After a long while, she sighed and said disappointedly, "I originally thought you really wanted to come back to me, but I didn't expect you to be critically ill and want me to come back to take care of you in your old age and see you off in your final days."
"Sigh, what a disappointment... I think I'd better go back and stay with Grandpa."
After Shi Nian finished speaking, she really intended to turn around and leave.
Upon hearing this, Old Master Shi immediately became anxious.
Fearing that Shi Nian was really going to leave, he immediately sat up from the sofa and quickly jumped in front of her using his uninjured leg to block her.
That agile figure doesn't look like that of a man over seventy at all!
Even when young people get injured, few people have his skill level.
"Niannian, don't go. I didn't bring you back so you could take care of me in my old age. Look at my skills, do I look like I'm about to die?"
Shi Nian hesitated, "What if this is just a final burst of lucidity before death?"
Old Master Shi's lips stiffened.
Oh no, it's all his fault for faking illness; now Nian Nian has misunderstood.
How can I convince Niannian that he didn't come back to her to take care of him in his old age and see him off when he was about to die?
Got it!
Grandpa Shi's eyes suddenly lit up as he came up with a brilliant idea.
Right in front of Shi Nian, he suddenly did a one-legged backflip!
“Niannian, do you see? My body is so strong, do I look like I’m about to die? Even if I had a final burst of energy before death, I wouldn’t look like this!” Old Master Shi said joyfully.
Shi Nian: "..."
Rong Qing chuckled and smoothed things over: "Alright, Niannian, Grandpa was just too worried about you, that's why he pretended to be sick to deceive you, don't be angry."
"Grandpa, stop making a fuss and sit down quickly, so you don't really hurt yourself. Niannian heard everything you said in the living room, and she knows you're not really sick."
Shi Nian didn't really mean to leave.
At Rong Qing's urging, she turned around and walked back to the sofa to sit down.
On the way here, she felt nothing for the Shi family or Old Master Shi.
But upon seeing Grandpa Shi, she felt a sense of warmth and closeness.
Could it be because of blood relations?
