Su Yi pursed her lips and said, "My grandfather is the same! He is not in good health either."
"Um."
"Um what?"
"So we both should fulfill their wishes."
“…” Su Yi’s face was restrained. Although it should be completed, marriage is not a joke. You can’t ignore your own happiness just because of the expectations of your elders. You get married just to find the person you love the most. It’s not that Lan Fuchu is not good. Moreover, their current situation is not even as good as good friends. How can they pretend to be a couple
"Come down quickly, grandpa is waiting for you. Help me deal with tonight first." As if a little tired, Lan Fuchu rubbed his eyebrows with his hand, his face full of fatigue.
Su Yi suddenly couldn't bear to continue.
He hasn't had a single day of real rest since he had the surgery. Every day a lot of people from the company come to visit him and hold meetings. Overall, he is more tired than before when he was at work.
Su Yi then went downstairs to accompany Grandpa Lan and the others, and chatted with them lively at the dinner table.
Grandpa Lan picked up some food for Su Yi and asked lovingly, "Girl, how did you get to know my grandson?"
"We are classmates and met in the first year of high school." Su Yi took a bite of the dish and said with a smile.
"So you've been dating for many years?"
"No, we were just classmates when we were in school. High school was a heavy workload, so there was no time for a relationship. Besides, the school and my husband wouldn't allow it."
"Well, that's right." The old man smiled kindly, "So when did you..."
When did you get together in the second half of the sentence
Su Yi felt the gazes focused on him and said softly, "Uh... it started after I returned home."
"Oh." Grandpa Lan suddenly realized, "He returned to China and met my grandson. They both thought the other was pretty good, so they tried to be together, right?"
"Yeah." She answered obediently. Anyway, this is what a normal relationship is like.
"So your parents are still alive?"
"Yes, yes, but my parents are divorced. I live with my mom and grandpa, and my dad remarried."
Old Master Lan nodded, as if he felt a little sorry for her, and reached out to touch her head, "Poor..."
Judging from these actions, it can be seen that Mr. Lan is very satisfied with her.
Su Yi chatted with him for a while and learned that Grandpa Lan liked playing chess and was an expert at it, so she suggested that Juesen play a game of Go with him. When Grandpa Lan heard that the artificial intelligence she designed could also play chess, he became extremely interested.
"Sister Jing, go prepare the chessboard for the old man." Mrs. Lan ordered.
Sister Jing hurried to prepare.
Su Yi invited Grandpa Lan to sit in the living room. The chessboard was already set up. She called Juesen, "Juesen, start the entertainment mode."
"Yes, Aunt Su." Juesen's eyes flashed, "The entertainment mode has been activated. What would you like to play, Aunt Su?"
"Playing Go with Mr. Lan."
Su Yi gave the order, but Juesen scanned out the information of Grandpa Lan. "Lan Zhongxun, male, 79 years old this year, a heavyweight hero of the founding of the country, awarded the rank of marshal after the founding of the country, now retired, served as the joint commander of GD Province and GX Province, deputy commander and secretary of the Central South Army..."
Su Yigang thought: "..."
Then Mr. Lan laughed out loud, "Interesting, interesting, this artificial intelligence is really interesting."
After hearing this, Su Yi felt relieved. "Okay, Grandpa, the game begins. You are the black piece, so you go first."
"Okay." Grandpa Lan nodded and took the lead in placing a black piece.
The first game lasted a full hour before Mr. Lan narrowly won. He looked at the AI on the other side, sweat soaking half of his clothes. He raised his finger and said, "This AI is good at chess."
"Yes, grandpa, its chess skills are probably at the national level." Afraid that Grandpa Lan would feel burdened, Su Yi explained.
"Okay, it's been a while since I've encountered such a strong opponent. Let's play another game with it."
They had originally agreed to play the next game, but after the second game started, Mr. Lan seemed to be suddenly controlled. All his deployments were seen through by the opponent's artificial intelligence, and he could not defeat it at all, so he was defeated quickly.
Mr. Lan refused to admit defeat and started the third game. However, he lost the third, fourth and fifth games. Beads of sweat covered his forehead and he began to show signs of exhaustion.
Mrs. Lan started to get a little worried, and together with Lan Shichu, she supported the old man. She was not worried about him losing, but about his health.
Mrs. Lan said, "Dad, it's late at night. We have to go back. Let's play chess with Juesen next time when we have time."
"No, I have to play another game with it." Although the old man was defeated repeatedly, he was not discouraged and still felt unsatisfied.
"Hey, grandpa, even if we don't rest, my sister-in-law and brother should also rest." Lan Shichu glanced at Su Yi with a smile and said to Grandpa Lan.
Grandpa Lan then remembered his grandson. He glanced at Su Yi and told her to go upstairs and rest. "Girl, go upstairs and rest. Don't worry about grandpa. Grandpa has to stay up all night with this little robot tonight."
Su Yi: “…”
Little robot? That's a really good name...
"How can that be? Grandpa, you want to stay up all night, have you asked your body if it is willing?" Lan Shichu teased him, "Besides, you are here, who dares to really take a rest? Don't I have to stand here and stay up all night with you? You are not tired, but my legs are so sore..."
Lan Shichu's coquetry was very effective on Grandpa Lan. He thought about it and felt that it made sense. He nodded and stood up with the help of Lan Shichu. "Okay, then, let's go back first. But I will play chess with the little robot next time I come."
"Okay." Lan Shichu agreed with a smile, turned to Su Yi and said, "Then sister-in-law, we will go back first."
"Okay, be careful on the road." Su Yi smiled, followed Mrs. Lan, and sent the three of them out of the Lan residence together.
When he came back, Sister Jing was tidying up the living room. Su Yi walked over and said apologetically, "Sister Jing, I'm sorry for delaying your get off work tonight."
"It's okay. The old man and his wife are coming over, so I have to serve them. You're new here, and you don't know much. But I didn't understand what the old man said just now that you were the young mistress."
When this was mentioned, Su Yi laughed, "This is just a misunderstanding, look at this."
She showed the bracelet on her wrist and the necklace on her neck to Sister Jing, "The old man and the mistress just thought I was your young master's girlfriend, and gave me these two things, saying that I would be their daughter-in-law in the future. Tell me, isn't that funny?"
Sister Jing didn't laugh. She thought about it seriously and said to her, "Xiaoyi, I think this is true. Although the young master is not young anymore, he never fools around with girls. You are the first girl he brought back."
Although she didn't understand why Su Yi moved in as a caregiver, theoretically, the Lan residence could hire as many caregivers as they wanted. Why did they have to let a young girl who couldn't even cook come in as a caregiver? Moreover, she had no nursing experience and could only take care of the short nights.
Sister Jing also felt that this matter was strange no matter how she looked at it, but since the master of the house didn't want to talk about it, she couldn't ask too much.
After Sister Jing went back, Su Yi went into the kitchen to drink a glass of water. All he could think of was this sentence: "Although the young master is not young anymore, he never fools around with girls. You are the first girl he has brought back."
She looked at the bracelet in her hand, then at the Star of Hope around her neck, and suddenly felt a little melancholy.
If the two of them were not pretending but truly loved each other, and received such blessings from their elders, they would surely be very happy.
After going upstairs, Lan Fuchu had already fallen asleep, so Su Yi did not disturb him. He carefully took off the bracelet and necklace and put them in a password box in the luggage, intending to return them to Lan Fuchu when he woke up tomorrow.
At 12 o'clock that night, Su Yi's phone vibrated many times.
She hadn't slept yet, so she picked up her phone and saw more than a dozen text messages of congratulations.
Lu Zhen: [Happy birthday, daughter! ]
Grandpa: [Granddaughter, Grandpa wishes you a happy birthday! ]
Gu Benmo: [Happy birthday to you every year.]
Mu Nanxi: [Enough of the nonsense, happy birthday, my friend! ]
Yan Tong: [Happy birthday.]
Lu Zhan: [Happy birthday! ]
Su Yi smiled and replied to them one by one, thank you. At 0:35 in the morning, Su Yi had replied to all the text messages. She looked at the bed next to her. Lan Fuchu was sleeping soundly. He probably... had forgotten her birthday a long time ago, right
