Song Darong: "You're really driving me crazy!"
Fang Jie: "How did I upset you? Our daughter is all grown up. Are you going to stop her from finding a boyfriend or getting married? Even if you are her father, you can't stop her from doing this."
“I don’t care! My daughter is still young, I want her to stay at home for a few more years. If my daughter wants to get married, I will carefully select a boy for her who is the best match for her.”
"Ha, so picky! I think Xiao Zan is perfect. He's good-looking, tall, and most importantly, he's good to our daughter. Our daughter saved him, so he can't live without her for the rest of his life and will treat her well for the rest of his life."
Song Darong acknowledged that Zhou Zan was a rare talent and the most outstanding among these children.
But he still couldn't stand Zhou Zan.
"You think too highly of him. He's not as good as you make him out to be."
"Song Darong, are you deliberately picking a fight?"
This was the first time the two had argued, and it was because of their daughter.
Seeing Fang Jie get angry, Song Darong realized the seriousness of the situation and dared not say anything more.
Back home, Song Darong, for the first time ever, helped with the cooking and tried to make small talk to calm his wife down.
Fang Jie had actually calmed down, but she was deliberately refusing to talk to him.
Song Fanxing boarded the train to the capital.
They only managed to buy one seat ticket, so Zhou Zan let Song Fanxing sit down while he stood by her side.
Zhou Zan's thoughtfulness pleased Song Fanxing.
However, Song Fanxing is not the kind of person who simply enjoys the efforts of others.
Every now and then she would take out a peach, a few plums, a pear, or a handful of chestnuts from her pocket and feed them to Zhou Zan.
Zhou Zan ate with great enjoyment.
It made a bunch of passengers around it drool with envy.
"Young lady, where did you buy these peaches, plums, and pears? They look delicious. I'll buy some when I go back to Lian City."
Song Fanxing: "My family grew them."
"oh……"
If it's grown by someone else, then there's no way to buy it.
Everyone felt regret.
After eating the fruit given to him by Song Fanxing, Zhou Zan was full of energy.
In the middle of the night, Song Fanxing fell asleep leaning against her chair. Her seat was by the aisle, and her head was tilting to one side.
He slept very uncomfortably, occasionally groaning with a furrowed brow.
Zhou Zan stood closer to her, turned her head and rested it against his waist.
With her head no longer wobbling, Song Fanxing slept much more soundly.
In the middle of the night, Song Fanxing woke up and found herself leaning against Zhou Zan's waist.
The boy remained motionless in one position, his gaze calmly fixed ahead.
She was moved by Zhou Zan once again.
This big boy's little gestures always warm people's hearts.
She patted Zhou Zan and whispered, "Zhou Zan, sit down and take a nap. I'm done sleeping."
He was about to stand up as he spoke.
Zhou Zan held her down.
"You sit here, I'm not sleepy."
Song Fanxing was not someone he could restrain. He stood up abruptly and forced her to sit down.
"Sit down when I tell you to, stop talking nonsense."
Zhou Zan stared at her.
"Star, how long will it take me to surpass you?"
The girl he likes is too amazing, he's so passive...
Song Fanxing: "Why did you surpass me? Do you want to hit me?"
"How could that be? I would never lay a hand on you, you can rest assured about that. I just feel that you are too strong, and I always get subdued by you, which is very frustrating."
"I see. Then don't waste your energy. No matter how much you practice, you can't surpass me."
Zhou sighed and gave up readily.
"Okay, I understand."
Song Fanxing smiled, pursing her lips.
After a 30-hour train journey, they finally arrived in the capital.
Zhou Zan took Song Fanxing on a half-hour bus ride.
It was already dark when I got off the bus.
Lights were lit up everywhere.
The capital city is indeed the capital city; it's more bustling at night than other places.
Zhou Zan suddenly took Song Fanxing's hand.
Song Fanxing was startled and quickly shook him off.
"Zhou Zan, are you looking for death?"
Zhou Zan said helplessly, "The alley was too dark and the road was difficult to walk on. I was afraid you would fall, so I wanted to hold your hand and walk with you."
Song Fanxing glanced around and saw what appeared to be a traditional courtyard house.
They were standing at the entrance of an alley.
"You walk in front, and I'll follow behind."
Zhou Zan was not happy because he missed the chance to hold Song Fanxing's hand.
"Okay, stay close. If you're scared, come and hold onto me."
Zhou Zan said, unwilling to give up.
Song Fanxing rolled her eyes.
"Don't worry, I'm very brave."
Zhou Zan led Song Fanxing 500 meters through the alley before arriving at his home.
"I've arrived home."
He raised his hand and knocked on the door.
Zhou Xiongguang and Su Wanzhi were having dinner when they heard a knock on the door.
Su Wanzhi: "Who is it?"
Zhou Xiongguang: "I guess it was Old Wang next door who asked me to practice Tai Chi."
"Go practice in the morning, but don't go late at night. You're getting on in years, what if you fall?"
Zhou Xiongguang stood up and walked towards the door.
"Okay, I'll tell Lao Wang not to come looking for me at night anymore."
Zhou Xiongguang opened the door and saw his grandson whom he hadn't seen in a long time. He excitedly turned around and shouted.
"Old woman, come and see who's back! It's our grandson!"
Zhou Xiongguang hugged Zhou Zan tightly.
He missed his grandson terribly. The Zhou family was small, with only Zhou Zan as their grandson. None of the collateral branches lived in the capital, so they eventually stopped keeping in touch.
The elderly couple and Zhou Zan depended on each other for survival.
After Zhou Zan left, they felt empty inside, as if they had lost their souls.
Zhou Zan also hugged Zhou Xiong Guang tightly.
"grandfather……"
The grandfather and grandson hugged for a while before Zhou Xiongguang noticed a pretty little girl standing next to his grandson.
