48 MORE THAN ENOUGH PART 4 (1/2)
Xue Lin froze. 'What's with this cheeky line?' She looked at him expressionlessly. ”Grandpa, aren't you being overdramatic?”
Su Fengfei shook his head slowly. ”No, lass, thank you for marrying that child. Please be with him for the rest of your life. Xiao Chen is a good kid. He'll take good care of you.”
Xue Lin nodded. ”I think so too. He said that he would cook for me.”
”…” Su Fengfei was speechless. 'Grandson, did you bribe her with your cooking skill? I suddenly feel pity for you.'
Xue Lin glanced at the fishing rod. ”You haven't caught a single fish.”
Su Fengfei noticed it too. He said, ”Ah! It's because we were talking. Fishes became alert.” Seeing that he couldn't catch fish today, he put the fishing rod down next to him.
Xue Lin commented, ”Even fishes are smarter these days.”
Su Fengfei looked further away. ”Yeah… this place is the last memory of Xiao Chen and me having fun together. Did he tell you that we dug this pond together?” He sounded distant.
Xue Lin looked surprised. ”You did that! It must have been a hard job.”
Su Fengfei nodded. ”Yes, we did. Xiao Chen was a teenager. It was before he left with Xiao Guiren. He asked me for a pond. He wanted us to dig it together. It took us seven days to make it this big. Then we bought some fish and let them grow here. We caught fish together. After that, he left and he never asked anything from me. I'm being hated.”
Xue Lin thought that he was hopeless. She said, ”If he didn't ask you, you could have asked him if he wanted something. He must have thought that he became a burden to you and that's why you kicked him out.”
Su Fengfei quickly looked at her and said, ”Hold it, lass! I never said that I kicked him out.” He tried to defend himself.
Xue Lin shrugged. ”You did say that to me but you didn't tell him that either. It could be, he thought that you thought him as a burden.”
He was shocked. ”That couldn't be!”
She lightly said, ”I'm just saying. But we won't know what he is thinking unless you tell him how you feel.”
Su Fengfei gave it a serious thought. ”I have to talk to him then.”
Xue Lin encouraged him, ”That's a brave step! I'm already proud of you, grandpa. But something is bugging me.”
He frowned and asked, ”What is?”
