“Yes, two very amiable elderly.”

Mu Tangchuan recalled for a moment and could roughly recall the appearance of the two elderly.

Zhuang Shurong nodded, “Yes, my hometown was in the countryside before. When Grandfather was young, he was also considered to have grown up in the countryside. Later on, he joined the army. Grandfather is a person who never forgets his roots. Every year during the spring festival, if he could find the time, he would definitely return to the countryside to pay respects to his ancestors. After he and Grandmother retired, he went straight back to the countryside. He said that the air in the countryside was good and the atmosphere was harmonious, so…”

“It’s rare for Grandfather to have such a mentality.”

.

“Yeah, my parents are too busy this year, so they won’t go back. I’m also worried about Grandfather and Grandmother, so I have to go back for a few days.”

Zhuang Shurong sighed softly. “I really hope that time can go slower. Don’t let Grandfather’s hair turn white too quickly. Every time I see him, I always feel that he’s much older than the last time.”

“Who can withstand the baptism and scrutiny of time? Just accompany them well.”

Mu Tangchuan sighed. His grandparents had been very good to him before. It was just that his grandparents had left a little earlier, so he did not even have the chance to show filial piety.

“Mmm, so, in the next few days, I need to prepare well and bring some new year gifts to Grandfather and Grandmother.”

“I’ll accompany you for a walk when you’re on vacation. Do you want to drive back alone?”

“My father arranged for a chauffeur and bodyguard for me. He said that the road isn’t too peaceful now, so it’s better to be careful,” Zhuang Shurong replied.

“Yes, it’s better to be careful.”

…

When they left the library, it was already 10.30 p.m.

The night sky was beautiful today, and the night wind was not very strong. Although there was no bright moon, the sky was full of twinkling stars. With a large string of street lights, it looked very beautiful.

Zhuang Shurong held a document bag in her arms, and Mu Tangchuan walked beside her. One of his hands was around her thin shoulders, and the other was holding his briefcase. Zhuang Shurong was wearing his jacket on her shoulders.

The two of them walked slowly and quietly on the sidewalk. When they passed by the intersection, they heard someone selling candied haws. Zhuang Shurong said on a whim that she wanted to eat it, so Mu Tangchuan immediately bought her a bunch of strawberry candied haws.

Zhuang Shurong ate with relish as she passed it to Mu Tangchuan’s mouth. “You can have one too. The taste is not bad.”

Mu Tangchuan stopped walking and turned his gaze to look at her. She was looking up at him with her beautiful eyes filled with anticipation. That faint smile filled with joy actually made him feel a little better for some reason.

Without thinking, he immediately bent down and a warm breath filled the air. Zhuang Shurong did not have time to react before she was captured by him.

The lingering softness was stranded in her mouth for a moment. When she came back to her senses, he had already retreated. His eyes were filled with a deep look as he looked at her and said happily, “The taste is pretty good.”

“You…”

Zhuang Shurong was instantly teased by him until her entire face was hot. She thought that her face must be very red now!

“What’s wrong with me?”

Mu Tangchuan saw the shyness on her face and teased her in a good mood.

“You’re not allowed to ambush me like this in the future. How many times have you done it this time?”

“If I ask you if it’s okay, you might refuse. It’s better not to ask. You’re underestimating my male pride.”

“Screw your male pride! What are you talking about?”

Zhuang Shurong glared at him, lowered her head, took a bite of the strawberry, and walked forward.

Mu Tangchuan was in a good mood as he looked at her back. He chuckled softly, coughed a few times, and followed her.

…

Time passed very quickly, especially on such a busy day. Time passed by, day by day.

The end of the year was holiday time. Zhuang Shurong and Mu Tangchuan had also prepared gifts.

Zhuang Shurong rushed back to her hometown the day before New Year’s Eve. Her hometown was a few hundred miles away from City Z, and it would take eight to nine hours to drive. The road was not very good at that time, and it was very tiring to travel by car, she was worried that her body would not be able to take it, so Zhuang Shurong chose to set off early in the morning.

The night before she set off, Mu Tangchuan came over and gave Zhuang Shurong a lot of things.

Because they were going to visit the new year and pay respects to the ancestors, Mu Tangchuan could not make it in time to go back with Zhuang Shurong, so he had to come early to send her off.

Zhuang Shurong planned to return on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, so the two of them would not be seeing each other for more than a week.

In the beginning, Zhuang Shurong did not think much of it. In any case, the relationship between them might not be deep. Although they got along very well and were very harmonious, but now…

At that time, it was not very convenient to talk on the phone in the countryside. Zhuang Shurong remembered that there was one phone in the entire village, which was at the cooperative. Moreover, their home was a distance away. It would be difficult for them to contact each other.

When the car was on the road, Zhuang Shurong felt uncomfortable from the jolt and vomited a few times. At that time, she felt a little uncomfortable. Mu Tangchuan had prepared car sickness medicine for her and forgot to bring it with him. Now that she felt uncomfortable, she suddenly wanted to talk to him, but…

Of course, Mu Tangchuan was not used to Zhuang Shurong’s sudden departure.

Usually, the two of them would stay up very late. He was somewhat used to her staying by his side.

Now that she was suddenly absent from his side, he felt that something was missing in his heart.

Su Zhengxun was busy accompanying the pregnant Xie Jiajia. She was expected to give birth in early summer. At this moment, he was practically inseparable from Xie Jiajia. It was not because Su Zhengxun, the father-to-be, had such a high awareness, but Xie Jiajia was coquettishly clinging to Su Zhengxun, he could not leave at all. He had long been accustomed to Xie Jiajia’s character.

They heard that Zhou Zhenjun had been busy getting along with the girls that his family had introduced to him. He did not know if there was good news.

Anyway, the buddies had not contacted each other for a long time. Needless to say, Gu Ting, that guy, was a typical case of neglecting his friends when he gets a girl. He was currently having a hot relationship with a model and did not have the time to pay attention to the buddies.

Mu Tangchuan was also a little bored tonight. He made a series of calls, and everyone was busy with their own things.

Thinking about it, it made sense. Tomorrow was New Year’s Eve. Everyone was busy, but he was very free.

He had rejected all the invitations to the banquet, and he did not have to worry about the New Year at home. Wang Hui and Mu Yinan would arrange everything very well, so he was happy to be free.

After some thought, Mu Tangchuan gave up on the idea of asking them out. After taking a bath, he picked up a glass of red wine and watched TV while drinking.

However, just as he sat down on the sofa, the phone beside him suddenly rang.

He was stunned for a moment. He thought that Zhou Zhenjun and the others had changed their minds at the last minute, so he reached out to pick up the phone

“Hello? Zhenjun?”

A low voice was heard.

However, there was silence on the other end. There was no sound for a long time…
