Chapter 697: First Meeting (Memory)
Their mother left, and not long after that, their father died of illness, leaving the two brothers as orphans.
The two brothers have been raised by their grandfather since they were young. After losing their parents, their grandfather became their only support.
Gradually, his parents' influence on him became less and less.
I have been an excellent student since childhood. I don’t find learning difficult at all and I enjoy studying every day.
The old man often took the two brothers to various occasions for social events. Their grandfather had many demands on him and was more strict in his teaching.
Three years passed in the blink of an eye with such repetitive days.
That summer vacation, a guest came to the Lu family, a little girl.
The old man asked him to go to the study to talk alone.
"A little sister will be coming soon. She is younger than you. You have to accompany her and protect her during her stay at Lu's house."
"Is it that child?" His grandfather's teachings made him subconsciously think of the baby he had seen once.
"No, but you also have to protect the one who comes today." The old man denied.
When I went downstairs, Lu Chengzheng walked into the house with a cute little girl.
The little girl is carrying a cute backpack, wearing a cute hat and a pretty little skirt.
"Grandpa Lu!" The little girl happily ran all the way from the door into the house and threw herself into the old man's arms.
"Grandpa Lu, long time no see. I missed you so much. Do you miss me?"
"Of course, Grandpa Lu thinks about you every day."
As far as he could remember, he had never seen his grandfather laugh so happily. His former seriousness had long been melted away by the little girl in his arms.
He stood aside and stared at the little girl for a long time. His first impression was that she was so small, with a chubby face. She looked very cute and really needed protection.
"Little Ranran, can you play with your brother?" The old man pointed at Lu Jingshen and said to her.
The little girl looked at him and nodded happily.
"Hello, brother. My name is Xiao Jiaran. What's your name?"
"Lu Jingshen."
"Here you go." She stretched out her little hand and handed over a candy.
He, who has always disliked sweet things, refused without hesitation, "Thank you, I don't like sweets."
The grandfather specifically instructed that he didn't need to do any homework that day and had only one task, which was to accompany the child and play with her. She liked to play in the pool in the yard and learn to fish with a toy fishing tackle. In his opinion, there was nothing fun about it and he felt that this day was the most boring day.
At noon, the sun was shining brightly. She finally stopped playing by the pool and started to pester him to walk around the house. Every time she walked to a place, she always had a lot of questions, as if her head was filled with a hundred thousand questions and she could never finish asking them.
"Brother, is that grandma your grandma?"
"My grandmother."
"What is a grandmother?"
“Grandma is grandma.”
"Why is grandma sitting there alone in a daze? Is she unhappy?"
As far as he could remember, his grandmother had always lived alone in this building and had never left. She was only accompanied by a nanny. She would never join them for family reunions or festivals, and his grandfather had strictly forbidden any of them from approaching the building.
He didn't understand what the grudge was between his grandfather and grandmother, nor did he see them have any verbal communication.
"I'll take you to the front to play."
The little girl shook her head and pointed at the building, indicating that she wanted to go there to play.
“It’s not fun there.”
"Where is the fun?"
"Come on, I'll take you there."
At dinner time, the little girl took the main seat first, while her grandfather, who usually sat at the main seat, sat aside.
The Lu family has extremely strict house rules, even when dining, there are seats of priority.
My grandfather, who always had a serious expression when eating, was particularly kind tonight and spoke softly.
Faced with a table full of sumptuous food, she had no appetite and sat there in a daze.
"Why isn't Xiao Ran Ran eating?"
"Grandpa Lu, I don't eat at night. I drink milk instead."
"So you want to drink milk, then can I ask them to get you some milk?"
"Can I go home after I finish my milk?"
"Okay, after you finish drinking the milk, grandpa will take you home."
Watching the old man coaxing this unknown little girl so patiently.
"Dad, whose little girl is this?" Han Shucui couldn't help but ask.
"The Lin family."
"Which Lin family?"
The old man looked at Han Shucui impatiently and said, "Let's eat."
After hearing what the old man said, Han Shucui didn't say anything else.
The next day, he was doing homework in his room when there was a knock on the door.
She opened the door and held a piece of watermelon in both hands.
"Brother, do you want to eat watermelon?"
"No." He never had an appetite for that.
"Will you play with me?"
"I need to study."
"Little Fatty." Lu Jingchuan's voice came from not far away.
She left with the watermelon and he returned to his room to continue his homework.
"Brother, can we go play together?" The voice sounded a little aggrieved and unhappy.
A childish voice came from the window, where she was leaning against.
I don't know how she climbed up to such a high window.
He suddenly rushed out of the room worriedly.
It turned out that he climbed up by standing on a chair.
"How can you climb through the window? Don't you know it's dangerous?"
"I want you to play with me."
"Don't you have Lu Jingchuan to play with you?"
"He called me a fat girl, and I hated him and didn't like playing with him."
"And Lu Jingcheng."
"His mother won't let me play with him."
"Ok."
"Little Fatty, so you are here." Lu Jingchuan walked over.
"I'm not a fat girl, I have a name, I'm a princess, you can't talk like that, it's rude!"
"There is no such thing as a fat princess."
Suddenly, she burst into tears.
Listening to her crying, he felt a little annoyed and wanted to hit her. If Lu Jingchuan hadn't said that, she wouldn't have cried.
The old man had been giving him physical training, and when they fought, Lu Jingchuan was no match for him at all.
"Thank you for helping me, brother. You are awesome."
He originally had the idea of teaching Lu Jingchuan a lesson because he was annoyed by her crying, but he didn't expect that she thought he was helping him, which made him feel a little guilty.
Lu Jingchuan was beaten away.
"Am I fat?" She tilted her head back with a sad expression.
"No, if Lu Jingchuan says anything nonsense again in the future, tell me and I will beat him up." Because of the guilt he felt just now, he had the patience to talk to her for the first time.
"Yeah." She suddenly laughed happily.
Hearing the crying just now, the old man came out of the house and took the person away.
Throughout the summer vacation, she came to the Lu family every day. Gradually, they became familiar with each other, and his patience increased a little. Every day when she came to the Lu family, the first thing she did was to look for him.
Sometimes when he was doing his homework, she would stay by his side and draw quietly without making any noise.
She was not as naughty as he imagined, and was completely different from Lu Jingchuan when he was a child, which gradually changed his attitude towards her.
Because of her appearance, the Lu family was filled with more laughter and joy, and she often made the old man laugh.
