He Jitong hung up the phone and returned to his room.

This is the basement of Chi Yan’s house, which has been converted into a game room and audio-visual room.

This is the most comfortable place to stay in Chi Yan's home.

At least it's not that spooky.

He walked over, nudged the man lying on the sofa playing games, and asked him, "Are you really not going?"

Chi Yan beat the opponent's character to the last layer of blood without even raising his head: "She didn't call me, so you can go with her yourself."

"That's right," He Jitong stroked his chin and climbed up the pole, "He added me on WeChat first, and then added you 'by the way'. It's because I'm more handsome than you, there's really nothing I can do about it."

Chi Yan curled his lips, too lazy to argue with him: "Behave yourself tomorrow. You are not yet an adult, don't be so showy all the time."

"Nonsense, can I really be that beastly? Besides, her grandmother will be there tomorrow."

Chi Yan finally turned around and looked at him after hearing this: "Gu Jianian's grandmother is going too?"

"Yes, that's why I asked you to accompany me. The old man has bad legs and feet, and I'm afraid I can't take care of him by myself while taking care of the child and the old man."

"Anyway, you made an exception and went out when you accompanied Sister Jianian to the hospital. If there's a first time, there's a second time," He Jitong muttered, "... I still want to find time to play King of Fighters."

Chi Yan was quiet for a while, then threw the other controller to him: "If you win this one, I'll go."

He Jitong: “…”

"Why don't you just refuse directly? Why do you humiliate others at the same time?"

He didn't win a single hand that night.

"Don't talk nonsense, just tell me whether you are coming or not?"

"… Come."

He Jitong sat down angrily and fought with him.

Two minutes later, he looked at his hands in disbelief and said in ecstasy: "I actually won? Have I improved or have you regressed?"

Chi Yan threw the controller aside, stood up and stretched, but his face did not show the regret that a loser should have: "In this case, I will reluctantly accompany you tomorrow."

He Jitong was immersed in the joy of victory, but when he came to his senses, he felt something was wrong.

Chi Yan obviously changed his mind after hearing that Gu Jianian's grandmother was also going.

He Jitong's smile immediately fell. "... You didn't lose to me on purpose, did you?"

He said, his head spinning rapidly.

Why does Chi Yan take such good care of Gu Jianian’s grandmother

Chi Yan has no blood relationship with his grandfather.

Grandpa Chi was single all his life and only adopted Chi Yan's father when he was middle-aged.

It is said that he had an unforgettable first love when he was young, so he never got married. And last time, Gu Jianian said that her grandmother and Chi Yan's grandfather were old acquaintances.

After connecting several clues, He Jitong felt as if he had discovered a shocking piece of gossip. He immediately covered his mouth and asked excitedly, "Could it be that Jianian's grandmother is your grandfather's unforgettable first love?"

Chi Yan: “…”

His cousin was not a good student since childhood, but he is better than anyone else when it comes to gossip.

Seeing that Chi Yan did not refute, He Jitong confirmed his guess: "Is it so exciting? No wonder you are so good to sister Jianian, letting her read books at home and even going out to accompany her to the hospital for the first time."
