Qin Xiu helped the old man sit down and smiled. “Grandpa Fu, you don’t have to introduce me. I’ve known Ye Jian for a few years.
“She was still studying in senior high in the Southern Province back then. When I went to the Southern Province No. 1 Middle School to look for my uncle, it was Ye Jian who led the way for me. As you know, I can’t recognize the way and have a poor sense of direction. I only got better after two years of treatment.”
After he finished speaking, Old Master Fu couldn’t help but laugh. “What a coincidence. The two of you have known each other for many years. Hahaha, Old Qin, come and take a look at my granddaughter. She’s not worse than your granddaughter, right?”
Like a child, he couldn’t help but take out his favorite thing to show off.
His granddaughter…
Old Master Qin thought about it in his heart before saying, “I was already envious of Old Xia for a long time just now. Now, I’m envious of you. Old Fu, you have to tell me properly. I really don’t know what to say now.”
They had been good friends for many years. If there was anything he wanted to ask, there was no need to hide it. He could just ask.
“It’s a long story. You’ll have to listen to it for a while.” Old Master Fu smiled before sighing. At this moment, Uncle Fu came over to ask Ye Jian if she had eaten. Ye Jian shook her head. Before she could say anything, Old Master Fu patted the back of her hand and smiled. “Hurry up and eat. I’ll talk to your Grandpa Qin.”
Then, he turned to Qin Xiu. “Since the two of you know each other, go to the dining hall and chat. There’s no need to accompany us.”
Qin Xiu looked at the dining hall not far away and stood up with a smile. “I’m getting a free meal from Grandpa Fu tonight. I haven’t eaten Uncle Fu’s cooking for a long time. I miss it.”
Old Master Qin laughed. “You didn’t eat your fill at home and came to your Grandpa Fu’s house to beg for food? You’re already an adult. Why are you still acting like you’re in your teens? You keep thinking about your Uncle Fu’s cooking.”
From this, it could be seen that the two families had a good relationship.
“At that time, Little Xiu memorized my family’s mealtime. He came over at mealtime a few times. I didn’t notice it the first one or two times. One day, I unintentionally said to him, ‘How coincidental it is that you always manage to come right at mealtimes.’ In the end, he told me honestly that he remembered my mealtime and specially rushed over when the time was right. I laughed until I choked on my food.”
Ye Jian had just returned home and didn’t know that the two families were close. Now that she saw the old man teasing Qin Xiu, she couldn’t help but look over. The man’s gaze was gentle, and his facial expression was clear. There was no awkwardness from being teased. He pursed his lips and smiled.
As it turned out, young and promising diplomats had such an unknown side in private.
Qin Xiu noticed the gaze that was sizing him up. He didn’t turn and let Ye Jian look at him.
Although he was surprised, he didn’t forget that the girl he liked already had a boyfriend. He just had to be scrupulous and not cause her any trouble or awkwardness.
Ye Jian, at this moment, let go of all her awkwardness. She smiled at Qin Xiu and said, “Let’s eat together. I’m so hungry that my strength is already seeping away.”
Qin Xiu nodded. He didn’t need someone to lead the way. He went to the dining hall by himself. At the same time, he knew where the bowls and chopsticks were placed. He knew where the dishes were placed. He was more familiar with the place than Ye Jian.
Ye Jian was dumbfounded when she saw him laying out the tableware.
This time, she really believed what her grandpa said. As a diplomat, he often came to her house during mealtimes to freeload. He was so familiar with the place that she felt like she was at his home instead!
