Chapter 272 He Treats You Differently
His smile was bright and sunny, and he didn't seem to be suffering from any mental illness at all. He looked a bit rude and unruly.
"Alas, a big thing happened to that child when he was three years old. He went out with his mother and older brother. The child was naughty and ran into the street. A fast car came towards him and his mother was hit and killed while trying to save him. Zisong cried and asked Zixu to return his mother to him. From that day on, Zixu locked himself in the room and refused to eat or drink. The three-year-old child did not cry for his mother, but just curled up in the corner of the bed in a daze."
Old Master Zhou didn't wait for Li Sihui to ask. He looked into her bright eyes and slowly talked about the past.
My daughter-in-law seems to have such a pair of bright and clear eyes. She always smiles gently and has a good relationship with her family.
He sighed and continued, "It was originally an accident. Zixu felt that he had harmed his mother. His father refused to forgive Zixu and taught him a very harsh lesson. When my daughter-in-law was buried, Zixu fainted. After waking up, he became what he is now. He uses a smile to hide the pain in his heart and deliberately acts like a slacker. Girl, grandpa hopes that you can help him untie the knot in his heart and be truly happy."
Old Master Zhou told Li Sihui everything. He had been holding these words in his heart for twenty years. His son didn't want to go home because he didn't want to see Zixu. Zisong always had a stern face towards him, saying that he was disappointed in Zixu, but wasn't he also disappointed in him for making him lose his mother?
Li Sihui listened quietly. The scene that flashed in her mind was asking Zhou Zixu to kill a rabbit. He seemed to be very afraid of blood. Then he smoked and looked at the night sky. His expression was so lonely. She thought he was scared because of killing the rabbit.
"Grandpa, when Zixu's mother died, did she bleed a lot?"
She suddenly asked, if that was the case, wouldn’t it be too cruel for her to ask Zhou Zixu to kill the rabbit?
"Yes, the ground was covered with blood. Zixu sat stupidly in a pool of blood. From that day on, he was afraid of seeing blood."
Old Master Zhou sighed. Others might not know how outstanding his grandson is, but he is the one who knows it best.
In the army, he seemed to be just muddling through, but in every drill and assessment, his performance was always among the best, and he would win merit in every military exercise, so he was promoted to battalion commander at a young age.
Grandpa knew that he had worked hard behind the scenes, and the real him was behind the smiling mask.
"Grandpa, why are you telling me this?"
Li Sihui was silent for a few seconds, then picked up the teacup and drank it all.
When she looked at the old man, she asked the doubts in her heart. Her grandfather's words made her realize that she was too cold to Zhou Zixu in the past and never said anything nice to him.
"Because he treats you differently. He said that he wants to change himself for a girl. Grandpa thinks he is talking about you. Girl, Grandpa hopes you will promise me that you won't be in a hurry to reject Zixu. Give him some time. He will give you a surprise."
The old man looked at Li Sihui with wise eyes. It can be said that he had put a lot of effort into his grandson.
He didn't want his grandson to torture himself like before. He just watched the world as a game, but he had never fallen in love with any girl.
He was very relieved that the girl in front of him had the ability to change him.
"Grandpa, he and I are not as close as you think. We are friends."
Li Sihui swallowed her saliva, feeling that the burden her grandfather had given her was too heavy and she could hardly bear it.
"Girl, believe in grandpa, Zixu treats you differently."
Old Master Zhou smiled. Zixu now goes out early and comes back late, not giving up any time for training, just to give this girl a surprise, right?
