Chapter 772: Chapter 772: Here I Come Again, Shamelessly as the Old Man I Am

He Nan took a deep breath, released her, and stood up, "I’m leaving first, you must be tired after strolling all afternoon, go back to your room and take a break!"

After saying this, he walked straight out; he was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he wouldn’t be able to control himself.

Shen Mianmian’s cheeks were flushed red; actually, she had also guessed why Brother He left. Brother He truly cared about her, so he would rather suffer himself than make any excessive demands.

In fact, Shen Mianmian was not opposed to the idea of being together before marriage, but some things happened naturally with feelings, and she didn’t want to do anything deliberately.

Shen Mianmian adjusted her emotions, got up, and went back to her room, where she slept the whole afternoon.

The next day, He Nan brought breakfast as he did the previous day and left after finishing it.

At noon, Shen Mianmian cooked some food suitable for the old man. The food was almost ready, but she hadn’t seen anyone come by, so she guessed that the old man probably wouldn’t come.

However, after cooking, she still set out three pairs of chopsticks and specially waited a bit longer, guessing that the old man’s house must be quite far from here and it probably took some time to get here.

Yang Xiaoxi’s stomach growled with hunger, "Mianmian, that old man probably won’t come, right?"

Shen Mianmian shook her head, "I don’t know, let’s wait a little longer! If he doesn’t come, we’ll leave a portion of the food for him. We cooked so much, we can’t finish it all anyway, and it’d be there if he does come and wants to eat."

Outside the door, the old man, hearing this, couldn’t help but smile; this young girl was indeed very kind-hearted.

"Hmm," Xiaoxi nodded her head, feeling bored sitting there, she suddenly had an idea, "The old man might have lost his way, not remembering where we live. Shall I go to the intersection to have a look?"

As she spoke, she stood up.

Just then, there was a ’thump thump’ at the door, and both of their eyes lit up when they saw the old man standing at the entrance.

"Young girl, this old man here is shamelessly paying another visit."

"Old man, please come in," Shen Mianmian said with a smile as she helped him in, "We’ve already cooked the meal, just waiting for you."

Yang Xiaoxi also chimed in, "I thought you had gotten lost."

"I hesitated for a long time at home, pondering whether to come over or not. Then my stomach started rumbling with hunger, and I couldn’t resist coming," the old man laughed.

"Old man, you don’t need to worry about anything here; just eat, and feel at home. I’ve never seen my own grandfather since I was young, and I feel quite close to you. You can just treat me like your granddaughter," Shen Mianmian said, handing him a pair of chopsticks with a smile.

The old man was even more delighted to hear this.

Their meal was filled with laughter, and after they finished, the old man didn’t stay long. He stood up, intending to leave. Shen Mianmian brought out prepared items from the house to give to him, insisting on sending him back because she was afraid it would be inconvenient for him to carry them.

The old man insisted there was no need for her to send him; he could carry the items himself. However, Shen Mianmian felt that as a young person, even she found the things heavy, let alone an old man of his age.

Having no choice, the old man couldn’t resist her insistence and had to agree.

He led them to a less developed part of Beijing. Realizing he couldn’t keep up the act any longer, he found an excuse, "Young girl, my grandson must not know about me begging for food. Otherwise, he’d definitely get angry with this old man again. Thank you both so much for your help, and it’s fine if you leave me here."
