Chapter 159: Chapter 159 The Warmest in the World

She wanted to ask, Grandma, why are you so good to me? She also wanted to say, Grandma, please don’t treat me so well. But she couldn’t bring herself to ask, nor could she say it.

"Grandma, when did you get discharged?" she finally asked this question.

"Yesterday! If I didn’t get out, I’d have been bored to death!" Grandma Xu laughed and then sighed, "Grandma, ah, when you get old, you’re no use! I was almost completely better, but the hospital’s air-conditioning was too cold, and I got sick again, so they kept me a few more days. I even fainted the evening before you left on your business trip! Sister Qian had to call Gugu back, exhausted him, too. He was worried and stayed up several nights, lost so much weight."

The day before her business trip, wasn’t that the night she watched the stars with Hao Ren? It’s a part of her past she didn’t want to recall.

Grandma sighed, "Ah, when you get old, you just become a burden to young people."

"How could that be? Grandma! Everyone says having an elderly at home is like having a treasure! You’re a treasure indeed!" No matter what, Grandma was extremely important in Su Ronggui’s heart, just like her mom was to her.

Grandma laughed, "You, girl, you sure know how to talk, making Grandma happy! As long as you’re not annoyed by Grandma’s nagging, it’s good."

Tu Hengsha smiled, not saying that there would be no future opportunities to hear grandma "nag" anymore.

All the way, Grandma, in a gentle voice, asked how she was doing outside, if she was used to the food, whether the work was tiring, which spared her awkwardness. She just had to answer Grandma’s questions carefully, without worrying about the person in the driver’s seat, who focused on driving and remained silent.

The further they went, the deeper the twilight, yet the streetlights shone brighter.

Such is the way of the world.

The darker the night, the brighter the light; the deeper the love, the more restless the heart.

The car drove into the east entrance of Hongliu Road, gradually slowed down, and finally stopped at the gate of Hongliu Primary School.

"Here we are," Grandma said with a smile.

"Grandma, I’ll get off now, thank you and goodbye." She opened the door herself to get out, and the person in the driver’s seat also got out. She kept her head down, without looking, and went to open the front passenger door, where her equipment was placed.

As soon as she pulled it open, she heard him say, "I’ll take the equipment to the newspaper office tomorrow."

His phone was also beside it, and at that moment, the screen lit up. A message flashed across the screen, "Su Ronggui, I miss you."

Like a heavy rain, it poured from head to toe, soaking her completely.

She picked up the equipment, said blandly, "No, thank you," then turned to Grandma, who also got out of the car, with a smile, "Grandma, I’m going home, goodbye."

Goodbye, Grandma. I guess I am not fortunate enough to continue enjoying your love, letting you down.

She didn’t look back, and under the dim streetlights, she quickly walked into the school.

The lighter her footsteps, the heavier her heart became.

In fact, she somewhat envied Su Rongxing, envied her freedom to do whatever she wanted, envied her unrestrained expressions whenever she missed him. Were there ever moments when she wanted to tell her Xiao Xu, "I miss you"? Yet she never once said it out loud, never dared to say it.

Those words, perhaps they never needed to be said? She was grateful she hadn’t uttered a single word, at least keeping her last shred of dignity, less embarrassed.

"Tu Hengsha!" he called her from behind.

She didn’t turn around, nor did she answer.

"Girl!" Grandma also called her.

Why did Grandma still call her?

She could only turn back, still smiling, waved to Grandma, "Grandma, go back, I’m quite alright!" After speaking, her smile froze. Without her being asked if she was alright, a "quite alright" felt superfluous.

She hurriedly dashed home.

When she reached downstairs, she saw the light on in the window at home, her mom standing in the corridor looking down, a small black silhouette against the light.

Her heart warmed instantly, and she shouted, "Mom! Mom! I’m back!"

The greatest warmth of the human world: a light when it’s dark, someone when returning home. Didn’t she have that too?

Shu Hui laughed seeing her, though they talked every day, she still worried about her illness. Only when she was home, lively under her nose, could she rest assured.

"Do you have work tomorrow too?" watching her daughter, who pounded the stairs noisily all the way up, Shu Hui smiled and asked, taking over the equipment she was carrying.

"Yes! Mom, what’s good for dinner? I’m starving!" Tu Hengsha laughed, hugging Shu Hui as she had before she left.

"There’s plenty! Plenty!" Shu Hui also laughed joyfully, thinking how this little girl was the best angel heaven gave her, yet her guilt towards her daughter lingered. When the little one was young, her own poor health made her child suffer. Once she recovered, she wished to erase all the pain, overwhelmed with endless love and pampering for her daughter.

She had a hearty meal of Mom’s lovingly cooked dishes, took a hot bath, clung to her mom acting spoiled all night, only then exhausting herself to bed, obediently went to sleep.

Before sleeping, she checked the alarm clock and found a message on her phone, "Just back from a business trip, rest early. I won’t disturb you, see you tomorrow."

From, Mr. Su.

Tomorrow, she would certainly meet Mr. Su.

Yet thinking of meeting those two people with the surname Su made her heart heavy, no longer having the carefree feeling of going to work as before.

Little Sha, this isn’t good at all!

She repeated this phrase from the night, all the way until she reached Chenjiang the next day.

Outside the editorial platform entrance, she heard continuous "Wow!" exclamations and Su Rongxing’s triumphant laughter inside.

"Gorgeous, right? Gorgeous?" Su Rongxing was asking.

Tu Hengsha entered, and Su Rongxing immediately spotted her, lifting her wrist even higher. A new watch, perhaps, sparkling with diamonds on the dial, clearly valuable.

"Su Ronggui gave it to me! Mid-Autumn Festival gift!" Su Rongxing swung her wrist in front of every woman in the office.

"The Mid-Autumn Festival isn’t here yet, and he’s already giving it to you?" someone asked.

"Yes! There will be more gifts on Mid-Autumn Day! This... is just an aperitif!" Su Rongxing, without hiding the pride in her eyes, glanced at Tu Hengsha.

"If the aperitif is so expensive, what will the main gift be like?"

"I don’t know! But, I don’t care whether the gift is expensive or not. It’s the thought that counts, isn’t it? Even if he gave me a blade of grass, I’d be delighted."

"True! Su Rongxing, I’m really envious you have such a brother! My brother just hits me!"

Su Rongxing lifted her chin even more proudly.

"Where’s Su Ronggui? He hasn’t come yet today?" someone looked around.

"Oh, he went out for a meeting today, left early this morning, went with Chen Qi," Su Rongxing gave another glance at Tu Hengsha.
