After walking a distance, Tong Huaer stood under the tree and said, "Call a car to pick it up. I want to go back."
She was obviously not in high spirits. Zong Beili frowned, looked at the intersection in front of her and said, "The noodle restaurant you used to like very much, do you want to eat something before you leave?"
Tong Huaer was stunned and shook his head, "Forget it. We'd better not disturb them."
Everyone has their own life trajectory, as long as they know that others are living well.
Tong Huaer looked at the city, sighed, leaned on Zong Beili's shoulder and said in a sullen voice, "Zong Beili, do you think we'll be separated soon?"
Grandma's illness was almost over. They couldn't stay here forever, and she was about to return to Dongfang's house.
In fact, if it weren't for her, she and Situ Wei would have left by the time the chamber of commerce ended.
Fortunately, she and Zong Beili were not separated like grandma and Teacher Duosuo. Although they were far apart in the future, they still had the chance to meet.
A complex emotion flashed through zongbei's sharp eyes and he reached out to hold her. His deep voice whispered in her ear, "I won't let you wait long."
"Oh, are you going to see me?"
Tong Huaer asked.
"... Zongbei held her tightly and said nothing.
Tong Huaer sighed and said to himself, "Well, you can only visit me now." I hope grandma won't stop them from meeting.
"Coo, coo, coo..."
There was a rumble in her stomach.
Tong Huaer's body froze. Zong Beili looked down at her with amusement and said nothing. He took her and walked to the side of the street. He was too lazy to call for someone to pick her up. He stopped a taxi and stuffed her into the car.
Along the way, the taxi driver might have recognized Zong Beili, but he wasn't sure it was him, so he kept looking behind.
Zong Beili's face was getting uglier and uglier. Fortunately, before he could explode, the taxi stopped at the entrance of the villa. Tong Huaer quickly pulled him out of the car.
"Poof!"
Tong Huaer couldn't help laughing when the taxi drove away.
"Very funny?" Zong Beili looked at her with raised eyebrows.
"That's funny. You didn't see the driver's eyes... Haha, his eyes were like x-rays..." Tong Huaer said with a chuckle.
Zong Beili snorted, "It's not because of you. Otherwise, who would ride in his broken car?"
"Okay, okay, it's all because of me." Tong Huaer took his arm and smiled, "Then you won't be angry. Let's go in and eat. I'm starving."
"You deserve to starve to death!" Zong Beili snorted coldly. Despite what he said, he still carried her inside.
On the upper floor of the villa, the curtains behind one of the windows moved slightly and soon calmed down.
The next day.
After breakfast, Tong Huaer was invited to Dongfang Furen's room by the maid.
"Huaer, get ready. We'll be home in three days." Dongfang Furen was lying on the bed, looking much better than yesterday.
"So soon?" Tong Huaer was a little surprised.
She guessed that it might be time to leave, but she didn't expect it to be so soon.
"I know you can't bear to part with Zong Beili, but little girl, have you forgotten what I told you before?" Mr. Dongfang said.
Tong Huaer was taken aback and shook his head, "I know that the Dongfangjia is the most important thing. I haven't forgotten what you taught me. It's just... Grandma, you and Teacher Duosuo..."
"We have already passed." Dongfang Furen looked at her and smiled, "Huaer, I should thank you. I owed him a word before, but now I've told him; from now on, we don't owe each other anymore."
We don't owe each other anymore...
Tong Huaer looked at Dongfang Furen with complicated eyes. If things were as easy as grandma said, why would she fall ill because of Teacher Duosuo?
"Okay, I'll go get ready." Tong Huaer said.
"Okay." Dongfang Furen nodded.
Tong Huaer got up and walked outside. When she closed the door, she looked inside. Grandma leaned against the bed, picked up the book and looked at it carefully.
I didn't expect that the relationship between Teacher Duosuo and grandma would end here. What would it be like in the future?
Duosuo continued to live in Tianshui or go back to his gallery, while grandma lived in the mountains, either ignoring the past or savoring it in her memories.
But did they really have no regrets about that unfinished film?
"Be careful and wash it clean. She's a troublesome person. She won't eat it after leaving sand in it for a while..."
Duosuo's nagging voice suddenly came from downstairs.
Tong Huaer stopped and looked down the stairs. Duosuo was standing at the kitchen door, directing the maid to clean the seafood. She looked like she wanted to go up on her own.
"Little disciple, you're down. Is she resting?"
Duosuo blinked and saw her standing upstairs, walking towards her.
Tong Huaer regained his senses, nodded, and walked downstairs, asking curiously, "What are you doing? Let them cook for grandma? Very careful."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Duosuo immediately denied it and blushed, "That... That's because... It was sent by my eldest disciple. It's very expensive, you know. I'm afraid of wasting it."
"Come on, I've never seen you break your contract before, and oh, why don't you call Zong Beili a' punk' today and call him a big disciple?"
Tong Huaer bluntly exposed Duosuo.
"...
Duosuo was speechless and stuttered for a long time without saying a word.
"I'm not teasing you anymore." Tong Huaer sighed, put away his playful smile and looked at him seriously, "Grandma and I are leaving. What are your plans for the future?"
"... Duosuo looked up at him.
Tong Huaer's heart skipped a beat. He looked at dorso as if he didn't know about it at all!
"Grandma... Didn't she tell you?" Tong Huaer looked at Duosuo with complicated eyes.
Duosuo seemed to have come back to his senses after a while. He smiled and said, "Are you leaving? Okay, then let's go."
He seemed to have suffered a great blow and walked unsteadily to the sofa to sit down.
Tong Huaer really didn't expect grandma not to tell dorso about this. She looked at dorso and walked over. She said softly, "Teacher Duosuo, you... Do you want to..."
"She hasn't changed at all! It will always be like this. It will always be like this!" Duosuo suddenly interrupted her angrily.
In the past, he was ruthlessly abandoned once; now, history is going to repeat itself.
Tong Huaer couldn't bear it, "Teacher, don't do this. Maybe grandma just wanted to tell you in a few days."
