After dinner, Bai Yalan took the initiative to help clean up, but this time Fu Yunzheng refused to let her do anything.
"Comrade Bai Yalan, don't argue with me about washing the dishes. The host should follow his wishes. Just sit down and rest for a while, and let me do it." Fu Yunzheng said, his dark eyes as clear as spring water, and he was extremely serious.
Bai Yalan did not insist any longer, but just followed suit and said with a smile, "Thank you for your help, Captain Fu."
Fu Yunzheng smiled, quickly cleared the dishes and went to the kitchen to wash them.
Bai Yalan was bored for the moment, so she helped to tidy up the tablecloth and chairs, and then went to make a pot of tea for the two old men.
After finishing this, he sat aside quietly, watching with a smile as the two old men continued to set up the chessboard, rubbing their hands and shouting that they had to decide the winner.
Time passed quickly, and before we knew it, it was afternoon and the sun was gradually setting.
The two old people finally had a great time. Seeing that it was getting late, Mr. Bai stood up and said goodbye with his granddaughter. Fu Yunzheng and his grandson also stood up and walked them out the door.
Mr. Bai waved his hand and said, "Old Master, please stay. No need to see me off. This isn't the first time we've met. Why are you being so polite? It makes me uncomfortable."
Old Master Fu laughed and scolded him: "Hey, you old thing, if it weren't for your granddaughter's face, who would want to give it to you?"
Bai Yalan couldn't help but laugh. She held her grandfather's arm, her slender figure casting a long shadow in the sunlight, appearing particularly gentle. She and Fu Yunzheng looked at each other, and they saw the helplessness and smile in each other's eyes.
After half a day of contact, the distance between them has narrowed a lot. Bai Yalan said with a smile, "Goodbye, Grandpa Fu, goodbye... Captain Fu."
Captain Fu nodded, looked at her and replied with only two words, "Goodbye."
Mr. Bai glared at Mr. Fu, then took his granddaughter and turned away.
Fu Yunzheng looked at the figure who was about to leave, and seemed to want to say something else, but he stopped and took his foot back.
The old man standing nearby took a glimpse of her and smiled even warmer. He suddenly raised his voice, a hint of kindness and teasing in it: "Bai girl, come visit us more often when you have time! As for your grandfather, you don't have to come anymore. I'm old, and I can't stand his nagging anymore."
When Mr. Bai heard this, he was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and turned around angrily: "Hey, you old man, what are you talking about! Who is more talkative? You still want my granddaughter to come over? Humph, I won't let my precious granddaughter into your den of wolves! I see that you are Sima Zhao's intentions. You are just thinking about my granddaughter and want her to be your granddaughter-in-law. I tell you, no way!"
Bai Yalan was simply at a loss for words. She glanced at Fu Yunzheng apologetically and kept pulling at her grandfather, "Sorry, Grandpa, stop arguing. It's getting late. We have to go back quickly." She smiled and said to Grandpa Fu, "Grandpa Fu, see you later."
Before Mr. Fu could reply, he heard Old Man Bai angrily grab his granddaughter and walk away, "What are you meeting?! We won't see each other again. Go, go, go!"
As he spoke, he pulled his granddaughter and walked very fast.
Only Fu Yunzheng and his grandson were left standing there, each with a different expression.
Looking at the slender and beautiful figure gradually disappearing into the distance, Fu Yunzheng couldn't help but feel a little lost.
Suddenly, I heard my grandfather's laughter in my ears, "Don't look, they've already gone far away. Hey, kid, try harder."
Upon hearing this, Fu Yunzheng's face instantly flushed and his ears turned red. He barely controlled his emotions and pretended to be nonchalant. "Grandpa, what are you talking about? I don't understand at all."
Old Master Fu laughed heartily, then slowly turned his head to look at his grandson.
After all, he is an old man, and his gaze is as if it has substance, as if it can see through people's hearts in an instant.
Fu Yunzheng felt a little uncomfortable being stared at and subconsciously moved his feet.
Then the old man continued meaningfully, "Hey, boy, you're still playing dumb with me. From the moment you brought the grandfather and grandson in, I noticed something was wrong with your eyes. Your eyes never left the girl. You might be able to hide your thoughts from others, but not from my old eyes. I saw through it right away."
