Feeling Warm and Sad
Qin Sheng had met Song Ruyu for the first time when he visited the Song Family during the Spring Festival. He had been impressed by her temperament. He had never met a woman like her.
It seemed that the second time Qin Sheng had met Song Ruyu was in this old foreign-style house. That time, Song Ruyu had come to visit the Old Lady. The Old Lady had intended for Song Ruyu and Qin Sheng to meet Qin Sheng, so she had asked Qin Sheng to show Song Ruyu around in Shanghai. Later on, they had met several times, but it had never been like this. Qin Sheng had brought his girlfriend to meet Song Ruyu.
In the living room, Lin Su, who had met the old lady for the first time, became the main character. Zhu Qingwen introduced Wu Yajun to Lin Su. Lin Su greeted her politely. Wu Yajun nodded with a smile, just like the old lady. She had a good first impression of Lin Su, but she had to get to know her better.
However, Zhu Qingwen had told Wu Yajun about Lin Su many times and praised her a lot. Therefore, Wu Yajun felt that if Zhu Qingwen was so satisfied with Lin Su, then Qin Sheng's girlfriend would not be a problem. Now it was up to the old lady.
Lin Su noticed that Qin Sheng had sent Song Ruyu out, but she didn't think much about it. When she saw Song Ruyu just now, she didn't pay much attention to her. She just felt that this woman gave her a special feeling, which was as comfortable and quiet as water.
Outside the old foreign-style house, Qin Sheng and Song Ruyu walked side by side. Song Ruyu didn't walk fast. The sunlight shone on her through the gaps between the leaves. She seemed to be in a trance and mysterious, like a beam of light and shadow.
Qin Sheng broke the silence and said, "I thought you had gone back to Beijing."
Song Ruyu, who had given up on those thoughts and returned to her normal self, appeared to be quite relaxed. When she thought about the journey that only she knew about, she found it a little ridiculous. She shouldn't have done that. Everything was too natural.
"The leader of my unit knew that I was in Shanghai, so he asked me to do something. That's why I was delayed for a few days," Song Ruyu replied in a low voice.
Her tone was very flat, as if it lacked the usual intimacy. It was more like the tone she used when she first met Qin Sheng. Qin Sheng sensed it more or less. He couldn't help but wonder if Song Ruyu really had feelings for him. She suddenly became like this because she knew he had a girlfriend.
Song Ruyu intentionally distanced herself from Qin Sheng, which made him a little uncomfortable. He couldn't just keep silent, which would make the atmosphere more awkward. Therefore, he took the initiative to find a topic. "I've heard many people say that you're very outstanding. You really put us men to shame."
This was a little awkward, which did not seem to be Qin Sheng's style.
Even Song Ruyu was surprised. She turned to Qin Sheng subconsciously and said, "I'm just doing what I should do. Everyone does the same thing."
"You're right." Qin Sheng scratched his head and smiled.
When they were about to reach the door, Song Ruyu said casually, "Go and accompany your girlfriend. It's not good to leave her alone."
Qin Sheng breathed a sigh of relief as he said, "See you when we get back to Beijing."
I'll see you in Beijing. "Song Ruyu nodded and walked out of the house.
Qin Sheng watched Song Ruyu disappear until the door of the foreign-style house was slowly closed. He didn't have many complicated feelings for Song Ruyu. He just admired this woman very much. He had never thought that he would be so familiar with her in the future. Moreover, not everyone could have such an excellent woman that most men looked up to.
Some things were only known to the parties involved. Others were just guessing. However, there were also many things that the parties involved didn't know, which were arranged by others.
Therefore, when these things were put together, they became a strange combination of factors, which made Qin Sheng speechless.
When Qin Sheng returned to the living room, the four women in the living room seemed to be chatting happily. They were laughing and talking, which made Qin Sheng feel relieved. He didn't think about other things, because this was the most precious time. It was rare to see his grandmother so happy.
Qin Sheng did not disturb them. He just sat quietly by their side and listened to their conversation. This was what he had always lacked the most — the warmth of a family. Anyone in such an environment would enjoy it very much.
"I didn't expect you to know each other like this. Maybe this is what you young people call fate," the old lady said, very touched after listening to Lin Su's story of how they met, how they reunited, and all the bits and pieces in between. This should be what love looks like. Lin Su said, "I didn't expect that.
After chatting for so long, Lin Su finally felt less nervous because of the old lady's kindness and the two aunties' concern. She began to treat them as her family and chatted happily with them.
Lin Su felt that Qin Sheng's family was really good. Everyone made her feel especially warm and had never made things difficult for her. They all liked her very much. She had never thought that this would happen. After all, the two families behind Qin Sheng had very strong backgrounds. They were not ordinary families. Lin Su felt that Qin Sheng's family was really good.
Thinking about how Qin Sheng had been treated when he went to the Lin family twice, Lin Su couldn't help feeling a little ashamed. It was totally different.
Lin Su had already handed everything over to Qin Sheng. The rest of her life belonged to Qin Sheng. Hence, she turned around and glanced at Qin Sheng, who was standing beside her Small Aunt. She said sincerely, "Grandma, I've always felt that meeting Qin Sheng was the luckiest thing in my life."
Many girls might not say such words in front of a boy's family. They might not have the courage, or they might be embarrassed, or it might make people think that they are pretentious. However, Lin Su was expressing her feelings, and everyone could feel her sincerity.
Qin Sheng looked at the silly Lin Su and smiled. He wouldn't let her down. They could understand each other's thoughts from their eyes.
Both Zhu Qingwen and Wu Yajun were happy to see that. They could feel the strong love. They loved each other deeply, so they didn't need to think about other things.
The old lady was touched and her eyes turned red. She said subconsciously, "Susu, you are a good girl. If Sheng 'er's mother can see you, she will definitely be very satisfied and happy."
After that, the old lady began to wipe her tears. Every time she thought of her poor eldest daughter, she would feel very sad, because it was one of the three most painful things in life. Losing a daughter in middle age, not to mention such a warm scene today.
Because for any mother, when her son, who was growing up day by day, finally came back with a beautiful girlfriend, and then told her, "Mom, this is my girlfriend, your future daughter-in-law." What a joyous and expectant thing it was.
However, Qin Sheng's mother, who had passed away, couldn't see it.
Therefore, the old lady's words hit everyone in the Zhu Family. No one expected that the old lady would suddenly say such a thing. Zhu Qingwen and Wu Yajun's eyes turned red. They were afraid that the old lady would be too sad, so they walked over to comfort her in a hurry.
Qin Sheng's eyes also turned red. To him, the weight of the word "mother" was too heavy. Every time he thought of his mother, he would feel sad and sad. Moreover, his grandmother had said such a sad sentence. Qin Sheng could not help but think, if his mother could really see Lin Su in heaven, would she be very satisfied? Would she be happy for him? Would she be very happy for him?
Qin Sheng walked over in a hurry, held his grandmother's hand, and said, "Grandma, mother may have seen Lin Su. She must be very satisfied."
The old lady couldn't help crying. She directly hugged Qin Sheng and said, "My silly grandson."
Lin Su didn't know what to do at first. She didn't expect that the warm atmosphere would suddenly become so sad. But then she also felt sad, not only because she thought of Qin Sheng's mother, but also because she thought of her mother. Both she and Qin Sheng were so pitiful.
After the old lady let go of Qin Sheng, she turned around and held Lin Su's hand, saying with tears in her eyes, "Susu, I know you're a good girl and I know you love Sheng 'er very much. I'm old and I don't know when I'll die. The only thing I'm worried about is Sheng' er. Now I give him to you. You must treat him well. You must love him for me, so I can rest assured."
After the old lady said these words, everyone could feel how much she cared about Qin Sheng and how much she couldn't bear to let go of this grandson. It seemed that after she left, no one would care about her grandson. Hence, she was a little worried and afraid. That was why she paid so much attention to him.
This time, the old lady really couldn't persuade her anymore. Be it Zhu Qingwen or Wu Yajun, they didn't know how long it had been since they saw the old lady like this. It seemed that since Qin Sheng came back, the old lady had shed tears several times, but this time was the saddest.
She did not expect that the old lady would suddenly break down and say these words to her with tears streaming down her face. She could feel the weight of these words and could also feel the old lady's recognition and attention to her. Otherwise, why would she hand Qin Sheng over to her?
Zhu Qingwen wiped her tears and said to Lin Su in a hurry, "Susu, just say yes to me."
Wu Yajun also shed tears silently and kept comforting the old lady. "Mom, don't say these words. The children can't stand it. Don't worry. Susu will definitely care about Sheng 'er."
What about Qin Sheng?
Qin Sheng didn't know what to say. He had never thought that today's meeting would be like this. His tears kept flowing and couldn't be dried no matter how hard he tried. Qin Sheng sobbed silently. This was the power of family.
The old lady's words made Qin Sheng feel very sad. If he hadn't left all these years, would he have accompanied his grandmother to grow old? Then she wouldn't be like this today.
It was not until then that Lin Su came to her senses. She said with tears, "Grandma, don't worry. I will definitely treat him well, even better than myself. I will also feel sorry for him, because he is my everything. I won't let you down. I definitely won't."
After Lin Su said that, the old lady finally felt relieved. She held Lin Su in her arms and murmured, "Okay, good girl. I believe you."
The old lady didn't dare to let the old lady go on. Such emotional fluctuations could easily cause problems and overdraft the old lady's broken body. Therefore, they all comforted the old lady, especially Qin Sheng and Lin Su. They said a lot of words to make the old lady feel at ease and comfortable. The old lady finally calmed down.
Everyone let out a long sigh of relief. If something happened to the old lady today because of Lin Su's arrival, it would be really troublesome.
