When Mo Yang arrived in the backyard where Old Master and Grandma Mo had their rooms, he saw that the light was still on. The two old folks knew that Mo Yang would be back today, so they had been waiting for him.

The room was furnished with vintage furniture. After so many years, Old Master and Old Madam still preferred these antiques.

When Mo Yang entered, he said, “Great-Grandfather, Great-Grandma!”

The two old folks hurried over when they heard his voice.

“Yang Yang…”

!!

Their voices were very excited.

When Mo Yang saw that the two old people were trying to get up, he hurried over to sit by their bedside, “Great-Grandfather, Great-Grandma, don’t move. I’m back!”

The two old folks held Mo Yang’s hand and refused to let go.

They knew that they did not have much time left. Mo Yang had not been home for two years. At times, they were not sure whether they would see Mo Yang again before they died.

Really, they were afraid that one day they would go to sleep and not wake up.

“Quick, let me see you. Are you thinner? Yang Yang! Were your two years overseas hard on you? I’m sure life overseas was not as comfortable as when you were at home. Your father is so hardhearted. You’re so young, but he insisted on sending you overseas.”

Grandma Mo held Mo Yang’s hand and grumbled.

Mo Yang only smiled and listened to her.

It was true that grandparents were closer than parents.

His father had said that when he was young and had just returned to the Mo family, the two old folks had doted on him, and always paid attention to him.

But now that he was old and Mo Yang had grown up, Grandma Mo treated Mo Yang as her darling. Mo Beihan had lost favor instead!

“How long are you back for this time? Yang Yang! Your great-grandfather and I are old. We don’t know how much longer we can live. Since you’ve completed your studies, you should come home! Let Great-Grandma see more of you, all right?”

Mo Yang’s heart ached. “Great-Grandma, I won’t be leaving anymore. Now that I’ve completed my studies, I’ll be staying in China.”

When the two old folks heard it, their eyes reddened.

They held Mo Yang’s and repeatedly said, “Great! Great! It’s great that you’re not leaving…”

Meanwhile, in the Chu house.

After Mo Yang left, Chu Yi looked at his daughter. “Yue Yue, what’s the matter? Mo Yang is back, but you don’t seem very happy?”

Chu Yue was startled. “No… No, I’m not!”

Chu Yi and Lin Yin exchanged glances. Lin Yin smiled and said, “Yue Yue, we’re your parents. Of course we can tell that something is bothering you.”

“You have been with Mo Yang since you were young. Everyone knows how that boy feels about you. But you were young then, and it was very natural for you to be together. Now he’s returned after a long absence, and meanwhile, you’ve grown up. Do you… have any thoughts? Tell us about them. Perhaps we can help you?”

Chu Yue immediately blushed!

She had not expected her parents to have discerned her thoughts so easily.

Chu Yue kept stabbing her bowl with her chopsticks as she mumbled, “Nothing much! We were friends when we were children, and the two of us playing together is normal. It’s just that we’ve grown up now…”

Chu Yi and Lin Yin were startled to hear that. Both of them put their chopsticks down.

“Yue Yue, don’t you like Mo Yang?”

Lin Yin asked.

Chu Yue lowered her head and studied the rice in her bowl. “I’m… I’m still young! Besides, he might not like me!”

This time it was Chu Yi’s turn to be bewildered. “Anyone can see how Mo Yang feels about you. But you yourself cannot?”

Chu Yue did not speak. She just hung her head.
