Chapter 40: Farewell to Grandpa He

  "Is that it?" After getting off the car, Blue Shadow felt strange. This place looked weird in every way, not like a residential area, but more like a beautiful forest park. The villas inside seemed like medieval European manors.

  An'an took a deep breath and gazed out at the distant forest, she remembered clearly that the last time she came here was during the summer vacation of her first year.

  At that time, she was in a state of confusion and ignorance, had no concept of why Zhuang He was different from everyone else, only thought his home was exceptionally beautiful.

  It wasn't until after she got to know Zhuang He that she went to his house many times, but the summer vacation of her first year was the last time. It wasn't because she suddenly understood the distance between her and Zhuang He, nor was it because of his busy and serious father, but because of his noble and cold mother.

  "Yes, but there's still a way to go, we have to walk past it, taxis are not allowed to come in here." Xia An'an smiled and explained to her.

  Zhuang He and Xia Anan were very close, while Lan Ying was the best same-sex friend Xia Anan had made since junior high school. Zhuang He became acquainted with Lan Ying also because of Xia Anan, so Lan Ying never knew what Zhuang He's family situation was like.

  Arrived at the entrance of the manor, it was a large gate, built with grandeur, on the arched gate made of white jade stone, flying dragons and dancing phoenixes were carved, with the four big characters "Nancheng Manor" written above.

  "Long time no see! How have you been?" Manager He suddenly popped his shiny head out of the window, grinning from ear to ear like a chrysanthemum, greeting Xia An'an.

  Xia An'an took a look and it was still Old Man He, her heart immediately bloomed with a flower, she jumped forward to touch Old Man He's bald head, laughing and saying: "Old Man He is great! You're still so young!"?? My Knight Spirit 40

  "Slap!" He Ye slapped away Xia Anan's small hand, feigning anger and saying, "You little scamp, how old are you now? Still so unruly?"

  Xia An'an smiled and dodged, "If I'm a little rascal, then you're an old rascal."

  "Alright, alright, I know you're a sharp-tongued little girl. Are you here to see Zhuang and that young man?" asked He Grandfather, glancing at the uneasy Blue Shadow behind her.

  "Ah, okay! Zhuang Xiaohua is sick, let's go!" Xiang Anan pulled Lan Ying forward, "She is Lan Ying, our classmate, come and see Zhuang Xiaohua together."

  "Alright, alright," Old He smiled and stroked his white beard that reached down to his chest, urging, "Hurry up and go, that young fellow seemed to be in a terrible mood when he came back yesterday."

  "Grandpa goodbye." Xia An'an pulled Lan Ying and waved at Grandpa He.

  "Goodbye, Grandpa." Blue Shadow hastily said with tension.

  "Goodbye, bye-bye." Grandpa He was still as kind and gentle as ever.

  Arriving at the entrance of the Zhuang and He family's courtyard, Xia An'an let out a faint sigh in her heart, already accustomed to everything before her eyes. However, Lan Ying was different, having just been tense to the point of being unbearable, now she was completely immersed in shock, just like when she first arrived at the Zhuang and He family that year, full of surprise.

  She pressed the doorbell and it was Li Shu who answered the video call. Seeing that it was Xia Anan, she had a look of relief on her face, "Ah! You finally came, you little girl."

  Xia An'an smiled awkwardly and said, "Mrs. Li, you'd better hurry up and open the door."

  "Alright!" Li's wife was still her usual straightforward and refreshing self.
