Chapter 15 Invitation

After washing the dishes, Yue Fan turned on the TV. Just after the news broadcast ended, she moved a chair and sat in front of the TV to wait for the weather forecast.

She looked at the weather forecast, and suddenly remembered Xue Qi's words, will it rain?The sun came out just right today, Yue Fan was skeptical.

After reading the weather forecast, it was only cloudy tomorrow and did not say that there would be rain. Yue Fan still believed in the weather forecast.

She shook her head and turned off the TV, and was about to ask the old man if he wanted to sleep, so she went to fetch water for the old man to wash.

Granny Yue went back to her bedroom after eating, she was sitting at the table looking at something, her back was facing the door, and she didn't see Yue Fan coming in.

Yue Fan walked behind her, only then saw the old man holding a photo in his hand, the person in the photo was a girl, only about seventeen or eighteen years old, with two big shiny braids and a happy smile on her face. smile.

Yue Fan's heart throbbed, she moved her lips, and after adjusting her state, she called softly, "Grandma?"

The old man was so engrossed that he didn't notice that Yue Fan was coming, she wiped her eyes, flipped through the photo, and looked up at Yue Fan, "What's wrong."

Yue Fan glanced at the photo in her hand and didn't say much, and asked with a smile, "Will you wash? I'll fetch water for you."

The old man asked, "Is the water boiling?"

Yue Fan nodded obediently, "Just wait." After she finished speaking, she went out.

The old man didn't stop him either. In fact, before Yue Fan came back, she did all these things by herself, but after Yue Fan came back, she did everything by herself, so she had no choice but to let her do it.

After the old man washed his face, Yue Fan brought another basin of hot water, still steaming, to wash his feet.

The old man sat on the bed, and Yue Fan put the basin by her feet. She stretched out her hand to test the temperature of the water and found that it was quite hot, but she was afraid that it would be too hot for the old man. She looked up at the old man and said, "Can you try it?" Hot? I’ll add more water if it’s hot.”

The old man smiled and nodded, stretched out his feet to test the temperature of the water lightly, and put his whole foot in it when he felt that he could bear it.

"Okay, okay! That's all."

Yue Fan didn't move, squatting there waiting for her grandma to pour water after washing her feet, she stared at the basin without blinking and didn't know what she was thinking.

The old man looked at the top of Yue Fan's head and touched it lovingly, "What are you thinking?"

Yue Fan recovered his senses and looked at the old man, and smiled embarrassedly, "No. Don't touch my head or prick my hand."

Only then did the old man remember and ask, "Why did you want to cut your hair short?"

Yue Fan paused, "Oh, isn't it almost summer, will it be cooler then?"

Hearing this, the old man gave her a reproachful look, "Hey~ little girls should have big braids, long ones look good, like your mother's braids when she was young..."

The old man was smiling while talking, but suddenly remembered something while talking, she stopped laughing and took a careful look at Yue Fan.

Yue Fan didn't respond, but still had a smile on his face, "It's okay, I'm too old, I won't be like when I was a child."

Having said that, Yue Fan hooked his fingers unconsciously, and his fingertips trembled slightly. She just didn't want grandma to worry.

When her mother first abandoned her, she was less than nine years old. At that time, she was wild and ignorant. She resented and hated her mother. Although she also missed her, it was just that the resentment was so deep that she ignored the miss.

She would throw a tantrum when she heard everything about her mother and yell at her father and grandma.

The little boy next door is naughty, saying that her mother loves money and dislikes her father and doesn't want them.She was like a wild beast at that time, pushing the little boy who was half a head taller than her to the ground and knocking out one of his teeth.

Back then, she was like an undisciplined wolfhound with thorns all over her body. She had fought with all the boys in this area without losing once. Those boys ran away when they saw her.

She is not the strongest, but she is the most ruthless.It’s not about being cruel to others, it’s about being cruel to yourself. It’s as if you’re not afraid of pain when your fists touch your body.

Yue Fan couldn't help shaking his head when he recalled himself back then.

Later, her father also left, and she and her grandmother were left to depend on each other.

At that time, she had nothing but her grandmother, she didn't dare to cause trouble, dared not to contradict others, and restrained her thorns, for fear that even her grandmother would not want her in the end.

Over time, it became milder.

Yue Fan didn't feel that she was forced, she felt that this was a kind of growth, after all, she couldn't take care of her grandma back then.

Seeing that she didn't respond, the old man was relieved, and she sighed softly, "I just pity you."

Yue Fan shook his head at that time, stretched out his hand to hold the old man's hand, and said firmly: "No, I have never felt bitter with you."

The old man looked gently and asked softly, "Do you miss your mother?"

Yue Fan shook his head when he heard the words, "Actually, I can't remember what she looks like."

The old man's eyes were out of focus, and she murmured softly, "Will you see your mother again on the day I leave?"

Yue Fan's eyes widened when he heard the words, she unconsciously clenched the old man's hand, she panted heavily but didn't know what to say.

The old man smiled and shook his head, "The water is getting cold."

Yue Fan hurriedly took a dry towel and handed it to Granny Yue...

Yue Fan waited for the old man to sleep, helped her turn off the light and walked out of the bedroom lightly, rubbing the center of her brows tiredly, she slowly squatted on the ground.

If... grandma is gone, who else in this world loves her and takes care of her?She lacks love, she doesn't want a little love, she wants all the love of others.But... who can give it to her?

Yue Fan couldn't help trembling, she buried her face in her arms, and felt her eyes were moist.

Going to school the next day, half of his head was exposed in the morning sun in the east, Yue Fan thought for a while, it didn't look like a rainy day today.

Yue Fan closed the courtyard door and left without looking back.

After school at noon, Yue Fan stood in the corridor and looked at the bean-sized raindrops outside, with black lines on his face, that girl was more accurate than the weather forecast.

Everyone didn't bring an umbrella, crowded in the corridor, bustling with people, complaining one after another.

Yue Fan was caught in it and sighed, what should we do this time?She had no money in her pocket, and some of her classmates took the car back with money on them.She was afraid that she could only go back in the shower, and she might be completely soaked.

Just as she was thinking, Yue Fan felt someone poke her on the back, she looked back and found that it was Xue Qi, holding a big umbrella in her hand, Yue Fan pulled his face down and turned his head to ignore her.

Seeing that Yue Fan ignored her, Xue Qi cheekily rubbed up behind her and said, "I knew you wouldn't listen to me."

Yue Fan still didn't say a word, she looked at the rain outside and still wanted to dawdle like this, fearing that grandma would be anxious, so she became ruthless, let's go back in the rain!

Seeing that she was about to leave, Xue Qi grabbed her, "Hey, what are you doing!"

"Go home." Yue Fan said coldly.

Xue Qi was not happy at that time, "Don't, I have an umbrella! I'll lend it to you!" As she said that, she was about to stuff the umbrella in Yue Fan's hand.

Yue Fan didn't want to owe her a favor, so he didn't answer after earning, "No need."

Xue Qi knew what she was thinking, "Don't be like this, just pretend that you helped me in the toilet last time, and you sent me home yesterday to help me apply ice. If you say I owe you, I don't want to owe you anything! "

Xue Qi deliberately added the last sentence, for fear that Yue Fan would not agree.

Yue Fan was a little moved. Grandma would feel even more distressed if she got wet all over. She looked back at Xue Qi, "Then how do you go back?"

"I won't go back, I'll eat in the cafeteria. Here." Xue Qi stuffed the umbrella into Yue Fan's hand.

Yue Fan looked down at the umbrella in his hand, and was silent for a while, "Go to my house."

Xue Qi was startled, "Huh?"

Yue Fan raised his head to look at her, and said lightly: "Go to my house for dinner." I really don't want to owe you anything.

Xue Qi's eyes lit up, and she nodded repeatedly, "Okay! Okay!"
