When her grandfather called her, Shi Niange was still sleeping in Lishui Villa.
Although her biological clock had already been fixed and she would definitely wake up at five or six o’clock, it was still a rare weekend. Furthermore, it was a rare Sunday that she could take a whole day off. After waking up and seeing that Qin Siting still did not reply, she closed her eyes and continued sleeping.
However, she was woken up by her grandfather’s call.
Ever since she jumped grades to Year Three, her grandfather knew that she was under a lot of pressure in her studies, so he rarely asked her to go to the laboratory to help. During the winter break, she went there twice, but there was nothing in the laboratory for her to interfere with, so she went to take a look and came back.
Grandfather asked her to go over today.
She quickly got up to take a shower. When she was about to leave, she took out her phone to see that Qin Siting had yet to reply.
She didn’t know if he didn’t see it or if he saw it at night, but he was busy and forgot to reply.
Logically speaking, it was more likely that he had forgotten to reply.
Shi Niange had lunch with her grandfather in the afternoon. Afterward, her grandfather asked her to draw a few pictures in the laboratory. He stood by the side and watched her draw as he asked, “Did your parents ask you to learn business finance again?”
“No. They also know that I’ve been following you since I was young. There are many things that they can’t control. After a long time, they give up.” Shi Niange did not even raise her head. She seriously drew the picture and answered at the same time.
“Then go to the medical school directly after the college entrance examination. I’ve already informed the school leaders.”
“En, en.”
“Have you been living alone recently?”
“Yes.”
“What about the two people who usually follow you?”
“Uncle Qin and Auntie Xiang often accompany me, but most of the time, I’m alone. It’s good to be alone.”
“You are just a young lady and usually come home so late after school. No matter if you take a taxi home or not, it’s not safe for you to be alone. No, I have to go back with you to see the place you’re staying at.”
Shi Niange did not have any objections. She nodded and continued with her work.
After working in the laboratory for an entire day, the evening finally ended. She then remembered to look at her phone. When she took it out, she saw that Qin Siting had replied to her in the afternoon.
[At home.]
Because her phone was in the cabinet outside the laboratory in the afternoon, she did not hear or reply. After more than ten minutes, he sent another message: [What’s the matter?]
Shi Niange’s mood had been strangely gloomy for the whole day because he did not reply. Even if she missed the time to reply to the message, when she saw that he had replied, she instantly felt her heart open up.
Grandfather Mo was waiting to go home with her. She didn’t have much time to look at her phone, so she hurriedly replied: [I’m fine. I missed you.]
After replying, she did not feel that there was anything wrong. She went to her grandfather.
Grandfather Mo drove the car while she guided the way. When they arrived at Lishui Villa, Grandfather Mo walked a few rounds outside and carefully confirmed the security facilities nearby. Earlier, when he came in, he stopped for a while at the security room in front of the main door. After taking a good look at the people inside, he drove inside.
Shi Niange was his big baby. He had brought her up since she was young. No matter who was in trouble, nothing could happen to her.
She had always known that Grandfather Mo doted on her. Now that she saw Grandfather Mo’s internal and external examination, she felt a little helpless. At the same time, her heart felt warm. It was really good. In the future, after she went to the Medical University, she could see Grandfather more often. He was a guest professor there.
When she finally entered the house and was changing her shoes, Shi Niange suddenly thought of something and shouted from behind, “Wait, Old Yang! Don’t move first. Wait for me to bring you slippers!”
Her grandfather’s surname was Yang. Everyone addressed him respectfully as Doctor Yang or Professor Yang. Shi Niange either called him Grandfather or Old Yang. Now that she suddenly shouted, her grandfather was stunned. He turned back to look at her. “Is that so?”
Shi Niange pointed at the pair sitting by the side. “That, wear the one my father wore when he came. Or there’s a new one in the cabinet! Don’t step on the one on the right!”
Grandfather Mo was baffled by her, but he still listened to her. He wore the left one and turned back to ask her, “What’s wrong with the right one?”
“Nothing. Just wear the left one.” After Shi Niange finished speaking, she changed her shoes. Then, she did not have the time to put on her slippers. She rushed forward and picked up the pair of slippers Qin Siting had worn the previous few times. She placed it properly in the shoe cabinet and placed it on the top. Then, she took out a pair of other slippers for herself to wear.
“What’s wrong with you? I didn’t see so many rules when I went to the Shi family. You’re living alone, but you have so many problems.” Grandfather rolled his eyes at her. “You’re always so flustered.”
Shi Niange only smiled and did not dare to speak.
“Grandfather, you seem to have lost weight. Have you been busy with the laboratory?” Shi Niange changed into a comfortable set of home clothes and came out. Seeing that her grandfather had already gone to prepare dinner, she stood outside the kitchen and asked him.
“Have I lost weight? I haven’t felt much,” Grandfather said as he sized up the small kitchen in her villa. He then turned back to ask her, “Do you usually make food yourself?”
“I do it occasionally. I know some simple ones, but they’re not especially delicious. Auntie Xiang comes over often. I’ve been relying on her for too long. I’m used to it.”
Grampy nodded. “You still say I’m thin. I see that you’ve been quite thin recently. Don’t think that just because you’re a girl, you don’t have to work out. Your villa isn’t small either. Just spare two rooms to store some gym equipment. It’s good for you to strengthen your body and increase your immunity. You have to know that the world isn’t clean. Everywhere is filled with germs.”
Shi Niange chuckled and did not refute his words. “En, I understand. I’ve been too busy with revision recently. I’ll do it after the college entrance examination.”
“You are patronizing me. Your temper is really the same as your mother’s. When she was young, I often urged her. In the end, after entering the business world with your father, she has been busy. Right now, she seems to be in high spirits every day. In fact, her health is not good at all.”
Shi Niange allowed the old man to nag. Anyway, as long as her grandfather was by her side, she was very happy. When her grandfather cut vegetables and meat, his knife skills were really good. After all, he had been a doctor for decades. He had held a scalpel countless times, let alone cutting such a small thing.
She followed him around the kitchen and kept helping.
“Recently, the medical supplementary resources valued by the higher-ups in the country are about to produce results. After it ends, I can rest for at least two months. Do you have any places you wish to go? Grandfather will accompany you.”
When her grandfather called her, Shi Niange was still sleeping in Lishui Villa.
