Huo Yao could tell that the old lady had something on her mind after receiving He Xiaoman's call, so she did not probe further. Instead, she said, "I have plans. Have a good rest. I'll bring this to Brother Yulin."
The old lady nodded softly. She watched as Huo Yao left the kitchen with a cup in her hand. Then she lowered her head and walked out slowly.
Min Yu stood up when he saw the old lady coming out of the living room. He was about to bid her goodnight and head upstairs when he noticed that her eyes were a little red. She did not seem to be in a good mood.
He helped her sit down on the couch and asked her. "What's wrong?"
The old lady sighed. She looked at Min Yu and shook her head. "Nothing."
Min Yu could tell that something was bothering her, so he said, "Yaoyao went upstairs. You can tell me if you need anything."
"It's nothing." The old lady forced a smile onto her face. After some time, she suddenly held Min Yu's hand. "Min Yu, I can tell that Yaoyao trusts you a lot. If I'm not around, please take care of her." Min Yu nodded.
Min Yu's hand froze, but he did not pull it out. He comforted her. "Grandma, you will live to a ripe old age."
The old lady shook her head and patted the back of Min Yu's hand before letting go of him. "Oh yes. Min Yu, hang on. I have something for you."
With that, the old lady stood up and walked into her bedroom.
Before long, she came back with a box. She sat down and handed it to Min Yu. "Give this to Yaoyao for me when you get home."
Min Yu took the box and glanced at it before he raised his head. "Why don't you give it to her yourself?"
"If I gave it to her, she wouldn't want it," said the old lady sadly. Daxia Chinese Network
Min Yu knew Huo Yao was right, so he nodded. "Okay. I'll give it to her when I get home."
"En, good boy, thank you." The old lady seemed relieved as her eyes landed on the box. After a while, she said, "This is her 18th birthday present. Let her keep it with her all the time. Think of it as... a way to keep her safe."
Min Yu glanced at the old lady. Although it was a little superstitious to hear the phrase 'keep her safe' in this day and age, the old lady probably just wanted the little girl to be safe.
Min Yu nodded and said, "Don't worry. I will remind her."
The old lady acknowledged softly. She glanced at the clock on the wall and did not continue chatting with Min Yu. "It's getting late. Go back to your room and get some sleep."
"Okay. Grandma, you should rest early too. Don't think too much." Min Yu nodded.
The old lady smiled and waved at him.
Soon, Min Yu went upstairs with the box. However, as soon as he turned a corner, he saw a certain someone leaning against the wall lazily. He didn't know how long she had been standing there.
Min Yu paused before he continued up the stairs. He calmly placed the box behind him. "You haven't gone back to your room to rest yet?"
Huo Yao raised her brow. She stretched out her hand and beckoned at him. "Give it to me."
"You heard everything?" Min Yu looked at her and didn't seem surprised.
Huo Yao nodded lazily.
