Chapter 698 Growth (Memories)
Shortly after the summer vacation ended, it was a weekend holiday, and my grandmother passed away.
He was reporting his study progress to his grandfather in the study when Lu Cheng said his grandmother had passed away.
Grandfather didn't let him leave the study, but asked Lu Cheng what her last wish was.
He said in a calm tone.
"The old lady's last wish was to return to Lincheng."
"If she wants to go back to Lincheng, let her go back." The old man had the same cold expression as always.
At that time, he didn't understand why his grandfather's attitude remained cold after his grandmother passed away. He didn't even go to see his deceased grandmother for the last time.
"Go prepare some things, I'm going to Jincheng." The old man then ordered.
"Master, are you going to the Shen family?" Lu Cheng.
"Go and see her."
He suddenly became curious about who his grandfather was talking about, because there was sadness in his eyes when he said this.
This was a side of his grandfather that he had never seen before. It seemed that there was something in his grandfather's heart that made him sad and irreparable.
After the two of them were left alone in the study, the grandfather did not test him on his studies, but spoke to him earnestly and earnestly. Only one sentence remained vividly in his memory.
In the future he must be strong, only by being strong can he protect the things he wants to protect.
During the summer vacation of the following year, she came to the Lu family again. Unlike the last time, this time she brought luggage with her and heard from her grandfather that she would stay at the Lu family for a while.
His first feeling at that time was that his vacation was not peaceful again. Compared with last year, she was taller this year, with less fat on her face, and looked a lot thinner.
When the old man was not at home, Han Shucui secretly took charge and gave orders. Occasionally, when she was in a bad mood, she would scold the two brothers, or involve them in everything.
That day, Lu Jingcheng accidentally fell down the stairs. Seeing him walking down the stairs, Han Shucui pointed the finger at him without hesitation.
"Those without parents have bad consciences." Han Shucui started cursing for no reason as soon as she came out.
He had long been accustomed to it, and he didn't want to say anything, let alone explain.
"Everyone has a father and a mother. Why does my aunt say such harsh words?" She was originally drawing on the table. After hearing this, she stood up and ran to Han Shucui to question her.
Faced with such a young child and under the protection of the old man, Han Shucui was too lazy to pay attention to him.
She continued to push him forward and said, "He wasn't the one who pushed me. You blamed the wrong person. You should apologize!"
"And you, don't you have a mouth?" She pointed at Lu Jingcheng angrily again.
The quarrel outside attracted the old man, and she hurried forward to tell him what had just happened.
Too lazy to explain, he didn't say a word from beginning to end, but his eyes stayed on her all the time because he didn't expect that such a little girl like her would be so competitive.
Because of her words, the old man didn't even ask a single question and just spoke accusatory words to Han Shucui.
Time passed particularly quickly this summer vacation. In a blink of an eye, the summer vacation is about to end and she will leave again.
That noon, he was studying in his room as usual.
Someone knocked on the door, he went to open it, and saw her standing outside the door with a toy in her hand and two pigtails in her hair.
"You two look alike, so it's easy for me to make mistakes. This is the necklace I gave you. Remember to wear it the next time I come, otherwise I won't be able to tell you apart."
"This is my favorite magic necklace. I give it to you. You are the only one who can have it."
"Okay." Only girls like this kind of thing. Originally, he didn't want it, but when she heard that he was the only one who had it, she thought that if he refused, she might be unhappy, so he accepted this special gift.
"Wait until I learn magic to turn my abusive aunt into a nice person, then she won't say bad things anymore."
Although the words were naive, they were engraved in his memory.
As time passed, he continued to learn various things every day, and he grew up a lot and entered adolescence.
During this period, many classmates around him, including Lu Jingchuan, engaged in premature love affairs behind the backs of their teachers and parents.
The school discovered Lu Jingchuan's premature love affair, called his parents in, and gave Lu Jingchuan a severe beating.
After Lu Jingchuan was beaten, he was called to the study again.
"It's normal for you to have a crush on someone at this stage. Now is not the age for you to play around."
"Grandfather, I didn't have a relationship at school."
"I believe you don't have it, and it's better not to have it. If you do, I will definitely be a hundred times stricter with you than Jingchuan."
"I know."
Because Lu Jingchuan fell in love prematurely, the old man arranged for him to study with him in order to stop him from doing this. When he was in school, he specially assigned someone to supervise him.
A female classmate transferred to another school the next day because she passed a letter to him, so the old man called him in for a private talk again.
"Your future wife must be someone who matches your status. As you grow up, you will meet many girls. I don't hope that any of them will be the one you like."
"Do you understand what this means?"
"clear."
That day, Lu Cheng picked him up from school and took him to Lin's house.
He had been looking forward to her coming during the summer vacation of the third year, but she did not go to the Lu family that year. He heard from his grandfather that she had also started school and was busy studying. In the blink of an eye, they had not seen each other for several years. He did not think that he left school that day to see her.
I don’t know what happened in the past few years. She has grown up a little and changed a lot. She is no longer as talkative and cheerful as before.
When she saw him, she acted very scared. Her smile when she left was still in his mind. Her fear suddenly made him feel distressed.
They didn't speak when they met that day.
After returning to the Lu family, I asked the old man, and he replied that she was sick, but he did not elaborate on the specific illness.
The old man asked him to visit her at the Lin family often, and he obeyed.
They went there several times, but she never spoke. She even refused him to get close to her, let alone have a chance to talk.
One sunny afternoon, I went to the Lin family again.
She stayed in her room as usual.
"Do you remember me?" That was the first sentence they exchanged when they met after many years.
In order to let her know his identity, he took the magic necklace she gave him before going to Lin's house.
"It doesn't matter if you don't remember. This is what you gave me before. My name is Lu Jingshen, and you used to call me brother."
She still didn't say anything, just watched.
After that day, when he went to the Lin family again, he was told that they had moved.
"Grandpa, have they moved?" he asked when he got home.
"Moved? When did you go? How come I didn't know about moving?"
"I went there today."
The old man called to inquire and learned that he had gone there for medical treatment.
And so they didn't see each other for a long time.
In the blink of an eye, he graduated from junior high school. When he returned home that day, he found that she had come to his house. She had grown a lot taller, but there were too many changes. She looked unhappy and became taciturn.
At that time, he didn't know what had happened exactly and simply thought that she became like this because she was sick.
