Chapter 26.2: God Lu, your tone, how come it sounds so much like a proposal?! (2/2)
The teacher had replied perfunctorily, but the old lady had remembered it. It turned out that the point was to keep a diary for her grandson.
From then on, Grandma Wei, who didn’t know many words, slowly went through the dictionary and kept a journal for Wei Xiao.
Wei Xiao had seen it before when he had graduated from primary school. He’d thought that his grandma no longer kept the diary after that, but now when he opened it up…
It was densely packed with cute handwriting that looked like it had been written by a primary school student.
Grandma had always continued journaling; she had always been writing, jotting down the bits and pieces of Wei Xiao’s life.

Little Xiao went to play in a competition. It turned out that there are competitions for games. Little Xiao is really amazing, he wins every time. Little Xiao is really capable, he’s not afraid of anything!
February 13, 2018.
It’s almost New Year’s Eve. Little Xiao hasn’t come back for a week. Sigh, it’s really like father, like son. They’re the same when they encounter something they like.
February 15, 2018.
What a big lobster! He made money from playing in the competition, Little Xiao is really capable!
February 18, 2018.
That Old Yang next door has a bitter mouth. What’s wrong with e-sports? Our Little Xiao doesn’t only know how to play games, he wants to become the champion!

Little Xiao, grandma misses you, but that’s okay. Children who grow up have to leave home.
February 22, 2018.
Little Xiao, grandma might not be able to accompany you for much longer.
February 23, 2018.
Don’t be like your father. Grandma hopes that you will do what you like, but don’t forget that there isn’t only one thing to pursue in life. Look at the people around you, make more friends, find someone who loves you, and live simply and happily.
February 24, 2018.
Goodbye, Little Xiao.
After flipping to the very end, Wei Xiao clutched the notebook tightly in his arms.
Lu Feng, who’d been standing beside him, pressed him into his chest.
After his vision turned dark, Wei Xiao no longer had any scruples and sobbed desperately.
“It’s my fault.” Wei Xiao spoke in fits and starts, “I didn’t go home much during winter vacation.”
Lu Feng patted him lightly on the back.
Wei Xiao didn’t require him to answer; he just needed to speak all the words that were pressing down on his heart, “My grandma’s life was too bitter. She always left the good things to me and couldn’t bear to eat well or dress well herself. She tried her best to help me with my studies, and I wanted to repay her, I wanted to give her all the money I earned. I wanted her to live a good life, but…”
He was about to get the two million signing fee, but his grandma passed away.
His grandma, who’d been suffering from illness every day, who had refused to go to the hospital because she was reluctant to spend money on herself.
His grandma, who’d been killed by a disease that could’ve been controlled with timely treatment.
He hadn’t known anything, and he hadn’t even been by her side.
He’d hurried home.
And seen his grandma on her deathbed.
His vaguely conscious grandma had just called out his name, then told him… don’t be like your father, don’t be so miserable, Little Xiao, you have to be happy.
Do the things that you like to do, but don’t neglect the unlimited breadth of life due to an obsession.
From beginning to end, the only thing his grandma had left behind for him was an infinite amount of love.
Lu Feng kept him company the whole time.
Wei Xiao cried from 12AM to 2AM. He talked continuously about his childhood, his grandmother, and constantly recalled old memories.
Lu Feng answered in a low voice and was the best listener.
All the burden that was backlogged in Wei Xiao’s heart was all let out that night.
At 3 o’clock in the morning, Wei Xiao could only reminisce about the happy memories with his grandmother.
He had cried and cried and started to laugh, then laughed and laughed and started to cry.
The 19 year old youth had been strong for 19 years.
For the first time, he acted like a child, crying and laughing without restraint.
When the sun began to rise up in the sky, Wei Xiao was bathed in the light of the new sunrise.
When he realized that he’d been acting like a fool all night, Wei Xiao said awkwardly, “Sorry… your clothes…”
F*ck, was he made of water? How could he cry so much? He’d cried so much that Lu Feng’s clothing looked wretched!
Lu Feng poked him on his forehead, “Not crying anymore?”
Wei Xiao: “……”
He should just die from embarrassment and be done with it!
Lu Feng laughed briefly and called out his name gently, “Wei Xiao.”
Wei Xiao felt uneasy all over, “Yes?”
Lu Feng looked into his eyes, “Do you want to come to FTW and become my teammate?”
Wei Xiao: “…………”
It was impossible to refuse.
But…
Wei Xiao tried hard to ease his embarrassment, “God Lu, your tone, how come it sounds so much like a proposal?!”
Juurensha: Because it issssssss
xiin: WX, your mouth… it’s epic
