“What, here we go again? Grandma is just thinking of you in everything. It has to be something that Grandma thinks is suitable and that suits you before she will introduce it to you.”
Lin Suqing tried her best to persuade him, but Xuan Mingyu simply wouldn't listen.
"Grandma, let's talk about this later. I'm going upstairs to see Grandpa first." After saying that, Xian Mingyu stood up from the sofa and went straight upstairs.
If I keep arguing with Grandma like this, she'll probably nag me all night again.
"Hey, you brat, you rarely come home, and all you do is go find your grandpa..." Lin Suqing had just turned around when Xuan Mingyu had already disappeared.
I knew it; every time I brought up the topic of finding a partner, he would either run away or refuse to agree at all.
At this rate, when will I ever be able to hold my great-grandchild?
Over the past few years, Lin Suqing has tried all sorts of methods and has looked for many outstanding girls. She has coaxed and tricked Xian Mingyu into joining the group of girls, but it has often backfired. Those girls either ran away after being scolded and cried, or Xian Mingyu simply stood them up, always using work as an excuse, and they could not see each other even after waiting for several days.
How could his grandmother not know what he was thinking?
For the past two years, Lin Suqing has been hesitant about whether to tell Xian Mingyu the truth about what happened back then. But every time she gets to the point of speaking, seeing her beloved grandson's unwavering devotion, she still can't bring herself to say it.
She feared that if she spoke out, he would be even more eager to find that woman, or perhaps even more depraved than he had been six years ago.
All they can do is silently hope that one day, someone will appear who can change the status quo and allow Xuan Mingyu to completely let go of Su Yuluo and accept someone else.

When Bai Xiaoruo returned to her school dormitory, Ji Shushu had just arrived.
When Ji Shushu saw the injuries on Bai Xiaoruo's face and arms, she was shocked. How could she have become like this after only two days of not seeing her over the weekend?
"Oh my god, Xiaobai! What did you do this weekend? Who bullied you? Does it still hurt?"
When the other roommates heard Ji Shushu shout loudly, they only glanced at Bai Xiaoruo briefly before turning back to continue doing their own things.
Most of the people in the dormitory are snobs, and they don't associate with Ji Shushu and Bai Xiaoruo. They usually don't even exchange more than five sentences with each other.
Bai Xiaoru shook her head, "It's okay, Shushu, you don't need to be so nervous. I just accidentally tripped and fell."
"Are you stupid? Even if you fell and hurt your arm, how could your face be injured like this? It's obvious you were beaten up. Tell me, who bullied you, and I'll teach them a lesson for you!"
Ji Shushu pulled Bai Xiaoruo to leave the dormitory.
"Hey Shushu, calm down... No one really bullied me. It was just a fall, and it doesn't hurt anymore."
Knowing Ji Shushu's impulsive nature, Bai Xiaoruo dared not tell her the truth.
The unpleasant things are over, so let it go. There's no point in dwelling on them.
"Xiaobai, but you..."
"Okay, I'm really fine. I'll be more careful next time. I'll go put my bag away first, and then we'll go to the art studio together."
Ji Shushu pursed her lips, but ultimately hesitated to speak. Knowing Bai Xiaoruo's personality too well, she refrained from pressing the matter of her injury further.
Looking back on all the years I've known Xiaobai, she has always been so kind. No matter what grievances she suffered or how sad she was, she always silently endured them in her heart.
She's always very stubborn, and once she's made up her mind, no one can persuade her otherwise. As her friend, all we can do is treat it as a genuine accident, and that it's really okay, so we just go along with her.

After class, Bai Xiaoru went to the restroom to wash off the ink she had gotten on her hands from drawing in class. As she walked out of the restroom, she bumped into Xiao Yaran, who was also about to go in.
Bai Xiaoruo only glanced at her and was about to bypass Xiao Yaran and go straight back to the classroom when Xiao Yaran suddenly called her back.
"Xiao Ruo, don't be in such a hurry to leave. Don't you want to see me at all?"
Bai Xiaoruo stopped and turned to look at her: "Is there something you need?"
Xiao Yaran approached Bai Xiaoruo with a smile, "Xiaoruo, aren't we friends? Can't I call you if there's nothing wrong?"
"Xiao Yaran, before last night, I was indeed willing to consider you a friend, but now, I think it's better for someone like me to stay away from you."
Xiao Yaran still looked innocent. "Xiao Ruo, what do you mean by that? Why are you saying that? Do you have some misunderstanding about me? I was really happy that you came to my birthday party last night. I even went to the restroom to look for you, but I couldn't find you anywhere. You left early without even saying goodbye?"
The moment Xiao Yaran grasped Bai Xiaoruo's hand, Bai Xiaoruo hurriedly shook it off and took several steps back, as if afraid that Xiao Yaran would try to repeat the same trick.
She really didn't want to relive last night's nightmare.
After seeing Xiao Ya Ran's true colors, Bai Xiao Ruo constantly reminded herself to be more wary of her. No matter how sweet or innocent Xiao Ya Ran's words sounded, Bai Xiao Ruo saw them as nothing but an illusion.
"Xiao Yaran, this is a school. I advise you not to do anything reckless." After saying that, Bai Xiaoruo turned around and quickly left the restroom.
If she stayed with Xiao Yaran for even a minute or a second longer, she would inevitably think of what happened last night, a nightmare she could never forget.
After Bai Xiaoruo left, Xiao Yaran completely withdrew her smile. It was disgusting that she always greeted that bitch with a smile.
Her hands, hanging by her sides, tightened little by little, clenching into fists. She was unwilling to accept it! Last night was such a pity; she hadn't been able to teach her a lesson properly!
