Chapter 732: Just Keep Me Safe
Seeing this, Huo Yao knew that she might have something on her mind after answering He Xiaoman's call, so he didn't say much. He just said, "I have plans. You should go to bed early. I'll take this to my third brother."
The old lady nodded lightly, and after watching Huo Yao walk out of the kitchen with the cup, she lowered her shoulders, lowered her head, and slowly walked out.
In the living room, Min Yu stood up when he saw the old lady coming out, ready to say good night to her and go upstairs, but he saw that her eyes were a little red and she obviously didn't seem to be in a good mood.
He helped the man sit on the sofa and asked, "What's wrong?"
The old lady sighed, then looked at Min Yu, shook her head and said, "Nothing."
Min Yu saw that she was worried, so he said, "Yaoyao has gone back upstairs. You can tell me what's going on."
"It's nothing." The old lady forced a smile. After a long while, she suddenly held Min Yu's hand and said, "Xiao Min, I can see that Yaoyao trusts you very much. If I'm not around anymore, I'll trouble you to take care of her."
Min Yu was slightly startled, but he did not pull his hand away, and consoled her: "Grandma, you will live a long life."
The old lady shook her head, patted the back of Min Yu's hand, and let him go. "By the way, Xiao Min, wait a moment. I have something for you."
Having said that, the old lady stood up and went to her bedroom.
After a while, she came out with a box, sat down again, and handed the box to Min Yu, "When you go back, please pass this thing to Yaoyao for me."
Min Yu took the box, took a look at it, and then raised his head, "Why don't you give it to her in person?"
"If I give it to her, she will definitely not want it." The old lady said sadly.
Min Yu thought about someone's personality, and this was not wrong. He nodded, "Okay, I'll give it to her when I get back."
"Well, good child, thank you." The old lady seemed to be relieved. Her eyes fell on the box. After a while, she said, "This is a gift for her eighteenth birthday. Let her wear it all the time, just as a gift to keep her safe."
Min Yu glanced at the old lady. Although hearing the words "keep her safe" in this era might sound a bit superstitious, the old lady probably wanted the little girl to be safe, which is why she said that.
Nodding, Min Yu said, "Don't worry, I will tell her."
The old lady hummed softly after hearing what he said. She glanced at the clock on the wall and didn't talk to Min Yu any more. "It's getting late. Go back to your room and go to bed."
"Okay, then grandma, you should also go to bed early and don't think too much." Min Yu nodded.
The old lady smiled and waved at him.
Soon, Min Yu went upstairs with the box, but just after he turned a corner, he saw someone standing lazily against the wall, and he didn't know how long he had been standing there.
Min Yu paused for a moment, then continued to walk upstairs, and calmly put the box in his hand behind him, "Haven't you returned to your room to rest yet?"
Huo Yao raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand, and beckoned at him, "Give me the thing."
"Did you hear everything?" Min Yu looked at her, not seeming too surprised.
Huo Yao hummed lazily.
The living room and the staircase were not far from each other, and the house was not soundproof. Plus, her hearing was only slightly better than that of normal people, and the two of them didn't speak in low voices, so it was difficult for her not to hear.
Good night~
