Chapter 107: First Time Being Apart (3)  

Li Qingcang sat beside Grandmother. He knew what she wanted to say and also understood what she was thinking.

“Grandmother, don’t worry. I’ll treat Tianxin like my younger sister, and I’ll definitely take good care of her. Tianxin is a good girl. You don’t have to worry about her. What you have to do now is take care of yourself and stay healthy...”

Grandmother looked at Li Qingcang, her eyes filled with affection.

She happily told Li Qingcang about the embarrassing things that Ye Tianxin had done in the past. Li Qingcang listened to every incident she recounted with great interest.

He couldn’t help but conjure up images of Ye Tianxin in his mind. She was really very cute!

“Grandmother, don’t tell Elder Brother Li about the stupid things I did in the past. It’s so embarrassing!”

Grandmother laughed and said, “What’s so embarrassing about them? Those are your life experiences!”

Ye Tianxin took out a piece of wet tissue and wiped her hands. Then, she sat down next to a table off to the side and massaged her grandmother’s legs.

“Grandmother, I’ve already grown up. Oh, right, Grandmother. I called my teacher yesterday. He said that there’ll be a mock exam at the beginning of the month and asked if I can make it back. I told him that I would be able to. I’ll do well on the exams and make you happy...”

Grandmother smiled widely. She had been very worried about Ye Tianxin’s studies in the past.

Aunty Zhu, especially, would come to chat with her often and tell her about how sensible and obedient Ye Youran was. She also talked about how mischievous Tianxin was and how she kept skipping class. Grandmother was very worried about all this and wondered what would happen to Tianxin if she didn’t do well in school.

But now, her heart ached when she saw how obedient Tianxin was. She would rather her darling granddaughter remain innocent and carefree than grow up so quickly...

“Grandmother, we’ll go back together after you’ve recovered. If the doctor says that you can’t go back, then I’ll hire a nurse to take care of you for a while. When I’m done with the college entrance exams, we’ll come back to the capital together. Then, I’ll join the crew to film the movie, and I’ll bring you with me...”

“No, what would I do at the filming set! When I’m better, I’ll return to the town of Jiameng. The air in the capital isn’t as good as the air in Jiameng. Jiameng is much better. There are green mountains and clear rivers, and even the air smells sweet. You don’t even get to see the sun much in the capital...”

Grandmother didn’t like the capital.

People Grandmother’s age preferred simple little towns.

“All right. We’ll do as you say.”

Ye Tianxin and Li Qingcang sat on either side of Grandmother.

By the window, there was a pot of blooming jasmine flowers, which exuded a faint fragrance.

“Excuse me.” Li Qingcang’s phone rang. He answered it and walked into the room next door.

Li Xingchen saw her younger brother emerge from the room next door. “How’s Grandmother doing?” he asked.

“The doctor said that she’s recovering very well!”

Li Xingchen handed Li Qingcang a box and said, “Here’s the phone you wanted.”

Li Qingcang opened the box and looked at the white-colored phone inside. The phone was the same model as his but in a different color.

“I already put our contact numbers on it. Tell Tianxin that she can give me a call if anything comes up.”

Li Qingcang made a sound of agreement and said, “Then I’ll pass this on to her!”

“I’ll wait for you here. Mom and Dad are waiting for you to come home tonight.”

Li Xingchen’s words made Li Qingcang stop mid-stride. “All right,” he answered.
