Chapter 771: Chapter 771 I Thought You Were Lost.

He Nan frowned, "What kind of old man?"

This is not the countryside, and nobody comes to the door to beg for food. Not to mention here, even on the streets of Beijing, it’s hard to find a beggar. Something is fishy.

"Probably in his sixties or seventies, half of his hair has gone white, Beijing accent, kind eyes and a benevolent look, but his posture is particularly upright. He used to be a soldier. His grandson is not very promising, doesn’t come home, and has even spent his pension. The old man had no other choice but to beg for food." Shen Mianmian carefully recalled the old man’s appearance and his situation.

Beijing accent, in his sixties or seventies, former soldier, grandson doesn’t come home...

He Nan caught a few important points, his eyes slightly narrowing, very good, he found his way here so quickly.

Seeing his expression was off, Shen Mianmian’s heart skipped a beat, "Big Brother He, do you think there’s something wrong with this person?"

Big Brother He, with his extensive experience, if he thinks there’s a problem, it means this old man is really not simple.

Actually, she also found it strange. Most people in Beijing are in decent conditions, and the old man shouldn’t be unable to afford meals. If it really came to that, the neighbors would help out too.

Of course, it couldn’t be ruled out that the old man, due to pride, was too embarrassed to let the neighbors know about his predicament.

After all, no matter how good the neighbors are, helping once or twice is possible, but long-term support, akin to caregiving, is definitely not feasible.

Of course, if there wasn’t anything amiss about this man, simply for the fact that he was once a soldier, Shen Mianmian wouldn’t be stingy with some food.

After all, behind her comfortable life was their sacrifice with blood.

"No," He Nan shook his head and said indifferently, "Since you bought it, if he comes again, just give it to him! An old man, ignored by his own grandson, begging all the way here, it’s not easy for him."

These words, coming from his mouth, had a somewhat profound implication.

Shen Mianmian breathed a sigh of relief, "That’s good, I was afraid he might be some bad guy."

He Nan ruffled her hair, "Even if he’s not some bad guy, you should still be vigilant normally. This old man probably poses no threat, but if you encounter others like him, better not to get involved, or tell me directly."

This time, if he hadn’t asked, he would probably not have known that the old man’s hand had already reached out this far.

"Okay," Mianmian nodded and then protested, "Big Brother He, why do you always like to ruffle my hair? At this rate, I’m going to go bald on top, aren’t I?"

"Considering the amount of hair, that shouldn’t happen," He Nan said with a twinkle in his eyes.

"No matter how much hair I have, it can’t stand up to your ruffling!" Mianmian said helplessly. She was genuinely concerned about going bald, "When Grandfather He sees me, if he finds out I have less hair than him, he might get so angry that he cuts ties with you."

He Nan laughed, "It won’t be that serious." He wanted to say more, that as long as the item could be sent out tomorrow, the issue with his grandfather would be resolved.

Mianmian was too clever; he couldn’t say that, otherwise, she would definitely guess something, and then she wouldn’t be able to interact with the old man with the same ease as usual.

"It would be more or less the same issue," she sulked.

Looking at her adorable pout, He Nan’s gaze suddenly intensified, his eyes becoming burning hot. The next moment, his hand reached out and firmly grasped the back of her head as he kissed her.

The ambiance between the two grew increasingly intimate, and the air he exhaled was somewhat scorching.
