Lu Yihan continued to work and suddenly received a call from Su Qianci at about 4 p.m.
Seeing the word “Qianqian” on the screen of the mobile phone, Lu Yihan felt like he was dreaming. He was stunned for a while before he answered the phone. “Qianqian.”
“Yihan, are you free now?”
Lu Yihan glanced at the codes on the computer. He had typed only a few paragraphs, so he nodded and said, “Yes. What’s wrong?”
“Can you come to the hospital? My grandfather wants to see you.”
“What? Your grandpa wants to see me?” Lu Yihan was even more surprised. Since Li Sicheng came back, Old Master Li had never seen Lu Yihan. But he never expected that more than a month later, Old Master Li would want to see him again.
“Yes, my grandfather wants to see you.”
“Okay, which hospital, I’ll be right there.” After that, Lu Yihan picked up the car keys on the table and stood up. Lu Yihan’s partner immediately felt bad and asked, “Where are you going? We have to finish our work quickly!”
“I’m going out in a hurry and I’ll be right back.” Lu Yihan answered and went out.
“What the hell! What are you fucking doing…”
Lu Yihan ignored the cry behind him and drove to Kingstown Military Hospital. After Lu Yihan arrived at the ward where Su Qianci said, he found that Li Sicheng and Su Qianci were both in the room, and several kids were also well-behaved in the ward.
Grandpa Li was half-seated in the ward. When he saw Lu Yihan, he sighed and said, “Yihan, I’ve been waiting for you.”
“Grandpa,” said Lu Yihan. Looking at the old man, Lu Yihan felt a little sad.
The old man seems to be a little older than when I last saw him.
Lu Yihan used to see Old Master Li quite often before, but he didn’t feel much about it. This time, he saw him more than a month later, only then did he realise that Old Master Li was old enough.
“Sicheng, Qianqian, you take the kids out first. I’d like to speak with Yihan alone for a while,” said Grandpa Li.
Li Sicheng took a deep look at Lu Yihan and nodded to him. Then he picked up his daughter and went out without speaking. Lu Yihan stayed with Grandpa Li in the ward for more than an hour before he came out. When Lu Yihan come out, everyone outside the ward looked at him.
Su Qianci looked at Lu Yihan and asked, “What did Grandpa tell you?”.
Lu Yihan smiled, shook his head slowly and said, “That is a secret between us.”
Lu Yihan stepped forward, clapped Li Sicheng on his shoulder and said, “Take good care of Grandpa. I have something to do, see you next time.”
Li Sicheng looked at him with a weird smile that made Lu Yihan feel uncomfortable. Ignoring him, Lu Yihan left directly with his hands in the pockets.
When he returned to the office, he realized that all his colleagues had left.
On his computer was a sticky note that read, “We’ve gone to the venue. Come over only after you’ve finished your work, Rascal!”
Sure. It was just work anyway.
Without any other option, Lu Yihan threw his keys down, and continued to trudge through his coding.
At approximately past seven, his cell phone rang.
It was Luo Zhan.
“Hello?”
“Didn’t we agree to go for an outdoor BBQ? Where is it?” Luo Zhan’s tone was a lot better than it had been in the afternoon. Lu Yihan snorted silently and said, “Call the number that was used in the afternoon. I have no idea either. I’m still in the office.”
“You’re upstairs in the office? I just drove to your building. Come on down.” As Luo Zhan spoke these words, his face began to heat up. He cleared his throat and said, “Don’t get the wrong idea. I just happened to pass by.”
Lu Yihan’s replied, “…wrong idea, your ass! I’m not done with work. Check with Lao Li where you’re supposed to go.”
