"I used to like this restaurant's fish balls a lot." Chi Jiao stuffed two fish balls into her mouth at once. Her cheeks were puffed up like a hamster's as she smiled until her eyes narrowed. "I've liked it since that old granny wasn't considered an old granny yet."
She had been eating it for more than ten years.
Quan Jue looked deeply at her satisfied expression. "Eat more if you like it."
"Brother Quan, we have to go very far to buy fish balls from this restaurant. Why did you go there?" Chi Jiao asked him curiously.
Quan Jue lowered his eyes to hide the strange look in them and said softly, "I ran far away unknowingly during my morning run."
Chi Jiao didn't doubt him.
After breakfast, the two of them checked out of the room. Chi Jiao booked a car in advance to send them up the mountain.
There was a very old house halfway up the mountain. It had been left behind since the Republic of China. As people had always lived inside, it was well-maintained.
The car stopped steadily in front of the old house.
Chi Jiao alighted first, followed by Quan Jue.
"This is where my grandfather and grandmother live," Chi Jiao said to him with a smile.
Quan Jue looked at the simple and gorgeous house in front of him and his thin lips curled up.
It seemed like the delicate girl's childhood environment wasn't bad.
Chi Jiao went forward and knocked on the door.
Soon, the red lacquered door opened from the inside and a head poked out.
"Miss, you're back!" The person who opened the door was an old man. The moment he saw Chi Jiao, an excited expression appeared on his wrinkled face.
"Grandpa Chen." Chi Jiao smiled at the old man in front of her and greeted him obediently.
"First Miss, come in quickly. Old Master and Old Madam have been waiting for you for a long time." After Chen Yi opened the door, he saw Quan Jue standing behind Chi Jiao. The smile on his face froze as he sized him up in confusion.
"This is Quan Jue," Chi Jiao introduced.
Realization dawned on Chen Yi's face as he looked at Quan Jue enthusiastically. "Young Master Quan, quickly come in with Miss."
So, he was Miss's boyfriend. He really looked like a talent and was as likable as First Miss.
When they entered the courtyard, the first thing they saw was an exquisite screen.
An ancient aura that had accumulated over the years rushed towards him.
Quan Jue didn't look around. He followed beside Chi Jiao and followed Chen Yiyi into the depths of the residence.
After passing through the front yard, a cobblestone path, and a small bamboo forest, Chen Yi brought Chi Jiao and Quan Jue to the backyard.
"Old Mister, Young Miss is back." Chen Yiyi said loudly to Ou Zhenglin, who was busy with the flowers and plants.
Ou Zhenglin abruptly stopped what he was doing and turned his head to look at the entrance of the courtyard.
Chi Jiao had already pounced on him with a smile. "Grandpa, I missed you so much."
Ou Zhenglin hurriedly threw down the scissors in his hand and hugged Chi Jiao. He smiled brightly and said, "You're already so old, yet you're still acting coquettishly the moment you see Grandpa."
Quan Jue looked at him.
The old man was wearing a white Tang suit. His hair was white, but he was full of energy. He looked at most seventy years old.
Who would have thought that the old man was almost ninety years old?
"Didn't you say it before? Even if I'm thirty years old, I'm still a child in your eyes, "Chi Jiao said with a grin as she hugged Ou Zhenglin's arm.
"Ahem … There's a guest here. Why aren't you introducing him to me?" Ou Zhenglin's gaze landed on Quan Jue.
