Chapter 38 Heavy Blows
Even if others didn't know who Grandma Huo was, Lin Pinyan couldn't help but know her. Therefore, even if someone said such things, Lin Pinyan could only automatically convert them into good advice.
She clenched her fists and tried to make her smile more natural and friendly. After adjusting her mood, she said, "You are so kind, old lady. It is my honor to lead you. If you are interested in coming to Ocean University again, please let me know and I will show you the way again."
Lin Pinyan wanted to create another opportunity for herself to meet Grandma Huo again, but the shrewd Grandma Huo could not help but see her intention, and she disliked this stepsister of the Lin family with ulterior motives even more.
"No need. Aren't you a student of Ocean University? Don't you have to study regularly?" Grandma Huo's face once again regained its previous cold and distant expression because of Lin Yilan's departure, especially when facing a little girl like Lin Pinyan.
These words meant to accuse her of neglecting her studies. Lin Pinyan came to her senses and the smile on her face became stiff again. She had to let go of the hand that was trying to hold the old lady's arm.
After thinking for a while, he replied, "I usually have a heavy workload, but you are different, old lady. As long as you come, I will put my studies aside to accompany you."
"You're so polite. We're not even related, so there's no need for you to go to such lengths. Besides, if I want to explore the campus of Ocean University, I can ask my granddaughter-in-law to accompany me. You should just focus on your studies so that you can be as outstanding as your sister in the future."
The shrewd Grandma Huo was so cautious that not a single word could escape her. Every word she said turned into a knife, cutting Lin Pinyan's body again and again. Lin Pinyan secretly cursed Grandma Huo in her heart, calling her a vicious old woman.
Since she had already said that, and Grandma Huo wouldn't change her mind if she stayed any longer, Lin Pinyan finally had some perspective: "Then I won't disturb Grandma Huo and my sister from having dinner together. I'll leave first."
After saying that, Lin Pinyan waited for Grandma Huo to nod, and then left.
Grandma Huo had seen a lot, so she naturally wouldn't be upset by such a small thing. After waiting for a while, Lin Yilan came over with her small backpack. The two of them went to have dinner together and didn't mention it for the time being.
Lin Pinyan was frustrated by Grandma Huo and was in a bad mood when she suddenly remembered that she had not finished the half-finished work. She took a shortcut to the water dispenser and stood there for a long time, waiting for no one to be around and secretly poured something into it.
After Lin Pinyan did all this, he sneaked out of the playground with a very evil smile on his face, but Lin Yilan did not see all this.
Turning her attention back to Lin Yilan, after she got her things, seeing that it was still early for lunch, she took the initiative to take the old lady for a walk around the campus of Ocean University.
Although there is nothing remarkable on the campus of Ocean University of China, it has good sanitation and is clean everywhere. The people coming and going are all young people, which makes Grandma Huo feel younger.
"Grandma, are you feeling tired after walking for such a long time?" Lin Yilan supported Grandma Huo's hand, slightly worried about the old lady's energy, and asked with her head slightly lowered.
Grandma Huo waved her hand nonchalantly, her smile bright in the sunlight. "That's nothing. Back when I participated in the marathon, you hadn't even seen it before."
This involves Lin Yilan's blind spot in knowledge: "Is marathon a sport?"
Grandma Huo laughed out loud when she asked this question. Looking at the undisguised curiosity on Lin Yilan's face, Grandma Huo felt that such a frank child was so rare. She was completely different from the girl who had led her before.
Grandma Huo was in a good mood and explained to Lin Yilan what kind of sport marathon is. She also mentioned that she had good athletic ability when she was young.
Lin Yilan had never seen such a large-scale sports event, so she honestly praised and envied Grandma Huo's experience, and said that if there was such a sport next time, she would definitely participate.
After hearing this, Grandma Huo felt better.
But when she saw a statue while walking, the old lady felt that it looked familiar: "Granddaughter-in-law, did we see this just now?"
After Grandma Huo's reminder, Lin Yilan realized that she seemed to have seen the marble statue just now.
"Grandma, we seem to be going in circles."
Going in circles means getting lost. After Lin Yilan thought about it, it seemed that they were indeed lost in Ocean University.
Lin Yilan felt very embarrassed and apologized to Grandma Huo with a blushing face: "I'm so sorry, Grandma. I've only been at Haida University for a short time and I'm not very familiar with it. I even led you lost."
"It's okay, granddaughter-in-law. I always had your Uncle Huo by my side. I haven't experienced what it's like to be lost in over a decade. I experienced it again today. It was truly worth it!"
God knows what kind of thought process Grandma Huo has, that she would think getting lost is a very fun thing. Lin Yilan is a simple-minded person, and when she heard Grandma Huo say it was okay, her guilt was relieved a lot.
"Since grandma thinks it's okay, why don't we take a different route and wander around for a bit?"
"good!"
So the two of them wandered around aimlessly again, and when they came back to the marble sculpture, both of them looked unhappy.
"Why are we back here again?"
"Granddaughter-in-law, it's not that I'm unhappy, but my legs and feet seem to be a little sore from walking. Let's ask someone to find a way out quickly. Grandma is a little hungry."
Grandma Huo is also a very honest person. She directly expressed her feelings and demands at the moment.
Lin Yilan wiped the non-existent sweat from her forehead, feeling a little guilty for making the old man run with her for so many laps.
I was just about to ask someone for directions when someone immediately showed up to me.
"Hello, Teacher Lin. I just saw you walking around in the cafeteria for several times. Are you lost?" The person who spoke was Jia Hanchao, who was resting in the cafeteria after exercising.
The young man has a good appearance, but his muscles are a little bit prominent. He has a very sunny smile.
"To be honest, it's true. My grandma and I got lost and have been wandering around here." Lin Yilan supported Grandma Huo and answered honestly.
"The campus of Ocean University is a bit winding, so let me lead the way for you. Thank you Teacher Lin for taking care of us during this period." Jia Hanchao is not only sunny in appearance, but also in personality. Thinking about being taken care of by Teacher Lin, he wants to help whenever he can.
