The old man turned sour again when he saw the ice cream, but he still said awkwardly, “I don’t like eating this. You’re the one who gave it to me.”
“Yes.” Sheng Yang didn’t expose him.
Although this old man was difficult to please, he was much cuter than her so-called grandparents at home.
As the old man ate the ice cream, he squinted at Sheng Yang and muttered, “Why aren’t you eating? Don’t girls your age usually like to eat this? Are you afraid of getting fat?”
“No.” Sheng Yang flipped through the book without looking up. “It’s easy to get stupid if you eat too many sweet things.”
The old man said nothing.
Although he felt that he was a big shot and was well-educated, he still insisted on eating it mouthful by mouthful.
After eating, he was about to buy another one himself. Sheng Yang saw through his intentions and stopped him. “You can’t have too many cold things. One is already the limit.”
The old man was appalled. She had seen right through him. ‘What a formidable fellow.’
“If you eat another one, you’ll fall to the ground immediately. You’ll be hospitalized with a fever and won’t recover for at least ten days.” Sheng Yang continued to explain.
“…” Fine. He wasn’t going to eat any more. Fine.
The old man flicked his sleeves and walked forward with his hands behind his back. The corners of his mouth curled up, and his white beard twitched.
This young lady was already very humane. If his dozen family doctors were around, they would probably surround him and not let him eat a single ice cream cone.

In the mall, Sheng Yang frowned slightly as she looked at the old man who was playing happily in the arcade. He missed nine out of ten balls, but he ignored the gazes of the young people around him. He was an excited and energetic old man. He was completely different from the person who had asked her for directions in the morning.
“Yeah! Not bad. I got in a few today.” The old man stopped Sheng Yang. “Buy me some more game coins. I want to play with the claw machine. Let me tell you, I’m an old hand at this.”
“Okay.” Sheng Yang raised her hand and threw a ball that the old man hadn’t thrown with one hand.
It went in.
There were gasps all around.
The old man said nothing.
‘Good God, she seems to be obedient to me, but she undermines me behind my back.’
Staring at Sheng Yang’s back, the old man narrowed his eyes into crescents. He remembered his grandson.
They were really the same kind of people.

In the atrium, Sheng Yue walked forward with a heavy heart. Things had not been going well for her. After she broke off her engagement with Han Bainian, she nearly had to repeat the year. Fortunately, she was a little smart, so she managed to stay in school in the end.
However, Huaxia University was not like other schools. There were too many smart people here. If she did not put in a lot of effort, it would be difficult for her to maintain what she had, let alone achieve bigger things.
Her family was in ruins, and she had not been able to find a good marriage partner. Her studies were not going well either. She was really indignant.
Such a coincidence happened today as well. She came to the mall to relax. She did not expect to meet her…
It was Sheng Yang and an old man she didn’t know.
In the past, she would have scoffed and looked down on people around Sheng Yang.
The other party was wearing an ordinary Chinese tunic suit that was typical of older people. His walking posture was also very ordinary.
However, after encountering Sheng Yang, Sheng Yue had learned her lesson. In addition, she saw that Sheng Yang was obedient to the old man. She bought him ice cream and game coins.
When had Sheng Yang ever been so obedient? She even had no respect for their grandparents!
Sheng Yue rolled her eyes and suddenly understood.
