Substitute unspoken rules

=======================================

At four o'clock in the morning, Xin Shangzhi woke up inexplicably.

He took out his mobile phone and looked at the email and some messages, but there was nothing important.

Xin Shangzhi moved closer to Song Yike and held him tightly in his arms, which made him feel more at ease.

I was in a trance behind, and I didn't sleep for too long.

Xin Shangzhi wanted to get up and smoke a cigarette to relieve boredom, but thinking that Song Yike was allergic to the smell of cigarettes, he held back.

He took out a few candies from the drawer on the bedside table, peeled a random one and put it in his mouth to relieve the bitter taste in his mouth.

When it was just dawn, Xin Shangzhi got up cautiously and went to the yard.

Grandpa Song hadn't gotten up yet.

Xin Shangzhi walked around the yard a few times to calm himself down.

He has always been inexplicably flustered recently, to be precise, since the day he knew Wang Chongyang was missing, he has never been flustered.

As soon as Grandpa Song got up and wanted to go for a walk, he saw Xin Shangzhi leaning on the door frame at the gate of the yard.

He was still wondering why the child got up so early, and wanted to let him go back to sleep.

Young people are under a lot of pressure, so sleep as long as you can.

But Grandpa Song suddenly had an idea, his good grandson is not up yet, why not take this opportunity to check on him.

Grandpa Song approached Xin Shangzhi, not too lightly, but he stood behind Xin Shangzhi for a long time, and Xin Shangzhi didn't notice him there.

Grandpa Song reached out and patted Xin Shangzhi on the back, and Xin Shangzhi turned his head as if suddenly frightened.

After seeing it was Grandpa Song, Xin Shangzhi called out, "Grandpa..."

"Morning...morning, grandpa!"

Grandpa Song saw the thick dark circles under Xin Shangzhi's eyelids and his pale complexion at a glance.

He even began to suspect that the two children had a quarrel last night.

Otherwise, why would he be standing at the door like this.

Grandpa Song was really angry, but he didn't question Xin Shangzhi hastily directly. No matter how they quarreled, it was the two of them quarreling together.

There can only be two people to blame, not just one.

Grandpa Song asked with concern: "What's wrong?"

"Can't sleep? Get up so early!"

Xin Shangzhi smiled with the corners of his mouth pulled, his expression seemed unnatural, and he replied: "No, I just woke up suddenly, come out and look around!"

This is true.

Grandpa Song looked at Xin Shangzhi's feet wearing shoes, and asked with concern, "Is the injury better?"

"Later, ask Ke Ke to get you some more medicine, it will be better and more complete!"

Grandpa Song saw that Xin Shangzhi didn't seem to care much about the injury on his foot. The blister was so big yesterday, and he was running around wearing shoes this morning, which really worried him!

Grandpa Song thought for a while and then ordered:

"Change to a pair of slippers, you're not done yet, you're going to grind and blister later!"

Xin Shangzhi stomped his feet, and replied with a smile: "It's okay, Grandpa!"

"It's almost ready!"

Grandpa Song had no choice but to nod his head:

"Go back and sleep for a while!"

"It's still so early, I'll get up later when I have breakfast."

Xin Shangzhi shook his head and said, "Don't sleep anymore, Grandpa, let me accompany you for a while!"

Grandpa Song coughed and thought it was okay.

He can also take this opportunity to learn more about this child.

Grandpa Song led Xin Shangzhi out of the courtyard and walked towards the small intersection in the back mountain.

The grandfather and grandson walked for a while before Grandpa Song took out a few candies from his pocket and handed them to Xin Shangzhi.

Xin Shangzhi took it by accident, and Grandpa Song patiently explained: "See, you like sweets, so I bought some when I went to town yesterday!"

Xin Shangzhi tightly held the candies wrapped in colorful paper shells, and did not open them to eat.

Grandpa Song said with a smile: "Try it, I think it's delicious!"

Xin Shangzhi nodded and replied, "Okay!" Then he peeled off a candy with a blue colored paper shell and put it in his mouth.

This kind of candy has a unique taste, which is different from the one he just ate. It is sour and sweet, and has a unique fragrance.

Grandpa Song said cheerfully, "It's delicious!"

"This is a kind of handmade candy, and there is a filling inside!"

"When I was young, Coco was my favorite food. He would eat it every time he came back!"

"I will take him to buy. At that time, he was very poor!"

"That child has been sensible since he was a child. He won't tell me if he wants to eat. He will only secretly take a look at it and leave."

"I bought it for him and he only ate one, and the rest will be left to me!"

After hearing what Grandpa Song said, Xin Shangzhi felt his eyes ache, and couldn't help but tighten his grip on the candy in his pocket.

With candy in his mouth, Xin Shangzhi walked side by side with Grandpa Song, and he whispered back, "So cute!"

Grandpa Song was even happier, and he replied: "That's right!"

"This kid has always been like this!"

"A few years ago, I still wanted to pick me up and said that I would take care of me, but ah, I think this will affect him!"

"He is so busy every day, I went to make trouble for him. Although this kid doesn't care, we old people still care!"

"He couldn't take good care of him when he was young, so naturally I can't trouble him when I'm old!"

"Besides, I think the countryside is so good, it's suitable for maintaining my health. I'm not used to living in a big city, even for a day or two."

"It's uncomfortable to stay for a few more days. When the time comes, if I still run to the hospital every day, then this child will be exhausted by me!"

"Oh, I don't listen to what I say, and I don't listen when I tell him not to be too tired, and he often comes back to help me with work!"

"Sometimes it's really distressing, but there's nothing I can do!"

Xin Shangzhi sniffed, and replied: "Ke Ke, he really wants to take good care of you! Me too, we will come back to accompany Grandpa more often in the future!"

Grandpa Song didn't expect Xin Shangzhi to say that. It seems that he doesn't need to tell him anything. The two children really want to be together.

Just by looking at the contact between the two parties in the past two days, you can tell that there are still big diamond rings in the hands of the two of them.

Grandpa Song felt happy for him when he thought that his good grandson could meet someone he liked and wanted to spend his whole life with.

But he still sighed slightly, and said to Xin Shangzhi, "From now on, take care of him!"

"I'm afraid no one will really care about him after I leave!"

Xin Shangzhi felt his nose sore, and he said seriously: "No, grandpa wants to live a long life and stay with us for a long, long time!"

Grandpa Song smiled and replied, "Man, I can't tell!"

"I'm an old bone. I just hope that when the day comes, you can spend more time with him. Everyone will have such a day, but I'm afraid he will be sad!"

Xin Shangzhi felt that he couldn't say anything, so he could only silently listen to Grandpa Song talking about the past!

"Leave it to you, I'm at ease!"

"This child has liked you for a long time. After so many years, he finally came to you!"

"Grandpa doesn't say much, I just hope that you will be happy, healthy, safe and happy in the future."

"This child suffered a lot when he was a child, and I failed to take good care of him. Instead, he had to bear hundreds of thousands of medical fees at the age of 17!"

"If it wasn't for me, he should have been able to find you earlier!"

"Oh, it's all my fault, it's become your burden!"

Xin Shangzhi rubbed his sore and swollen eyes, and said:

"No, grandpa, you are an elder, you are a family member, a relative, not a burden!"

"You have to believe, Ke Ke loves you very much, how can you be our burden! You are his spiritual support, we all want you to be healthy and happy!"

Grandpa Song nodded, and also took out a candy to eat.

Xin Shangzhi suddenly stood in front of Grandpa Song, and said seriously and sincerely, "Don't worry, Grandpa, I will take good care of him."

"Don't worry!"

"I also hope that you can safely hand over Cocoa to me!"

"I use my everything, my life to guarantee that I am willing to take care of him for the rest of my life."

Grandpa Song smiled and repeated: "That's good! That's good!"

"Good boy, you must be good!"
