Gu Jingze raised his head and said, "There are many people in the house, so it's sterilized. We're all family, so it's okay if we don't sterilize it. Grandma, don't worry about me. I can do anything."
Grandma said, "It's okay. We're all family. If you're not used to it, you must tell me."
"No, I'm used to it. Grandma, you don't have to worry about it."
Gu Jingze said as he took the bowl and started eating.
Actually, Gu Jingze came so fast that Grandma didn't have time to get new utensils. The bowls and chopsticks were still old. The bowls were a little broken and there were scratches on the sides. She knew that Gu Jingze had never used such bowls in the past.
But Gu Jingze didn't care at all. He continued eating elegantly and was full of praise for the food. He said to Grandma, "Grandma, the food is delicious."
"Ah, as long as you don't mind. How can it be better than the food cooked by a professional chef?"
"No, of course it's better than the food cooked by a professional chef. They're used to it and it tastes the same. It's not as humane as Grandma's."
"Look, Jingze is so good at talking. Grandma is so happy to hear it. Eat more if you like it."
Lin Che smiled and also picked up the bowl to eat. The three of them ate simple dishes here. Lin Che ate very quickly as usual. Grandma watched the two of them eat. The house suddenly became lively, and she felt very happy.
As for Gu Jingze, no matter where he went, he was so elegant. Even though he was holding a worn-out bowl, he didn't look shabby at all. Instead, he looked like a noble prince. With a warm smile on his face, he chewed and swallowed slowly. His slender fingers held the chopsticks, and his movements were slow and steady, which made people feel that there was nothing wrong with his behavior.
After dinner, the sky was already blue. The sun had set and it was getting dark.
Grandma cleared the bowls and chopsticks. Lin Che got up to help. Gu Jingze looked around the room.
Grandma looked at Gu Jingze and smiled. She asked what she wanted to ask, "Well, Jingze, are you here to take Lin Che back?"
Gu Jingze raised his head and looked at Grandma.
Grandma looked at Lin Che. She looked reluctant. From her tone, it was obvious that she wanted Lin Che to stay for a while.
After all, he had come all the way here.
Gu Jingze looked at Lin Che. Seeing that Lin Che had also turned his head, he smiled and said to his grandmother, "Since you're here, stay with me for a few days."
When Grandma heard this, the wrinkles on her face seemed to open up. "Really?"
However, she was still a little worried. She looked at the two of them and said, "Will you feel uncomfortable staying here tonight? Or are you going to stay in a hotel? However, there aren't any good hotels for you to stay in … "
Gu Jingze looked around and said with a smile, "We'll stay here."
Lin Che was stunned and looked at Gu Jingze in surprise.
He wants to live here?
This place was really shabby. He was afraid that even a person with such high standards would not know if he could still sleep here.
Gu Jingze looked at Lin Che and said again, "It's okay, Grandma. I'll stay here with Lin Che. Since I'm here, why should I stay in a hotel?"
Hearing this, Grandma was even happier.
On the other hand, Lin Che immediately said, "But Grandma, this place can't be used, right?"
This was a room where the living room and kitchen were connected, and there was a bedroom inside.
Hearing this, Grandma hurriedly said, "It's okay. You can stay here. There's another room outside. No one has been living in that room for years. It's the room that your mother used to live in when she was still alive."
Hearing this, Lin Che looked at Grandma and said, "Mom used to live in that room?"
"Yes. After your mother grew up, we made a room for her. It used to be a place for cooking, but when she grew older, she wanted to live by herself, so we had to make a room for her."
Lin Che said, "Then, Grandma, let's stay over there."
"No, no," Grandma quickly said. "No one has lived there for many years. It's humid and the room is even smaller than this one."
"It's okay, Grandma. I want to stay over there. I want to stay in the room that Mom used to live in."
Lin Che thought calmly. This was probably the closest she could get to her mother.
Gu Jingze looked at Lin Che and stared at her absent-minded little face. He also raised his head and said, "Grandma, let us stay over there."
Grandma looked back and forth between the two of them. In the end, she nodded calmly and said, "Okay, I'll go over and tidy up the room for you."
In a short while, Grandma had already tidied up the room.
Actually, even though she couldn't help it, she would still tidy up the room. She just needed to lick the bedding and clean up the dust before she could move in.
Lin Che and Gu Jingze went in together.
It was indeed smaller than the other room, but it could still accommodate two people.
Lin Che looked at Gu Jingze and felt that this place was a little condescending for him.
After all, he was such a high and mighty person. He had never suffered like this before.
She couldn't bear to let such a noble person like him stay in such a small room with her.
In her heart, he had always been so perfect. No matter how annoyed she was with him, she still felt that he was the best and the most beautiful one.
Thus, she couldn't bear to let him live a bad life, so she had to force herself.
She said, "Why don't you stay in a hotel? There are hotels here too. I saw one when I passed by. It's probably not as good as the seven-star hotel your family owns, but it's still bigger than this place."
Gu Jingze frowned and turned to stare at Lin Che. "You really don't want me to stay with you that much?"
Gu Jingze's gaze turned cold and he glared at Lin Che. Lin Che quickly said, "No, no. That's not what I meant. I meant that this place is a little dirty and a little small. You … you won't be used to it, right?"
Gu Jingze flipped over and fell on the squeaky bed.
He said, "I'm used to it. Come, come here."
Lin Che looked at him. "But you …"
Gu Jingze leaned against the bed and said, "I'll get used to it after a few days. I'm not so pretentious that I have to stay in a seven-star hotel. It's fine as long as it's clean. If I stay in a hotel, Grandma will think that I'm an outsider. We're all family. It's okay to stay here. Who would want to stay in a hotel when they visit their relatives?
I'll stay here if I can. "Lin Che opened her mouth and couldn't close it for a long time. She looked at Gu Jingze and said," You … Gu Jingze … "
She smiled and looked at him. Once again, she felt that he was really nice and considerate.
Actually, as others had said, with his status, he didn't need to think for others and think from their point of view most of the time. However, he had always been so heartwarming.
Gu Jingze frowned. Seeing that she still didn't come over, he waved his hand and said, "Didn't I tell you to come over?"
Lin Che still stood there and didn't go over.
What was he going to do? What was he going to do?
