She ran away from him and was not to be offended by her sickly brother.

Unexpectedly, Huo Xibai said, "Who said I haven't been there?"

"Ok?"

Meng Xia looked up in surprise, but heard the man slowly speak, "That year you ran away from the Huo family and took a car to City A overnight. I was always following you."

Huo Xibai's voice was low and deep, and his dark and deep eyes stared at her quietly, revealing a touch of indescribable tenderness.

"Ah, it's you..."

Meng Xia also suddenly remembered that incident. At that time, she felt that someone was following her. It turned out that it was not an illusion.

"Well, it's me."

Huo Xicheng hugged her tightly, and Meng Xia felt mixed emotions in her heart. It turned out that at that time, she and Huo Xibai had such a relationship...

Just as he was feeling sad, Meng Anan suddenly rushed over, first hugged Meng Xia, and then glared at Huo Xibai with a fierce look on his face, "What are you doing!? What little secrets are you telling me behind my back!?"

The sad atmosphere was suddenly diluted by the little guy. Meng Xia couldn't help but reached out and touched his little head, "There is no secret, you will find out when you get home."

Meng Anan didn't believe it. She hugged Meng Xia tightly and stared at Huo Xibai warily.

-

I originally wanted to entrust the old man to the care of my aunt, but the old man still came with me——

Meng Xia knew that the reason why grandma was good at Chinese was because she once had a Chinese lover——

At that time, the domestic situation was turbulent. The man was sent abroad by his family, but because of his embarrassing identity, he was not welcomed abroad until he met his grandma——

One is a talented and ambitious young man, and the other is a young girl with similar interests. The two unexpectedly fall in love.

But things didn't go as planned and the civil unrest ended. The man's parents asked him to go home and said that their family had arranged a marriage for him. If the man didn't want to, the family threatened him with death.

In the end, the man went back. Before leaving, he promised that he would go back and cancel the engagement and come back to be with his grandma.

So grandma kept waiting for him for three years, but she didn't wait for him to come back, only waited for a letter——

The talented man in the past, when it came time to say goodbye, he only left a few simple and clear words——

【Everyone be well. 】

Grandma burned the letter, did not reply, and did not go to find him. She just kept the "drama and ink" work they had written and kept those memories until now.

Meng Xia asked her if she still liked that man, or whether she still hated that man.

Grandma said that at her age, love and hate don't matter anymore. Having it for a short time is enough.

Meng Xia asked her again if she regretted it? Do you regret letting him go? Do you regret not going to him?

Grandma said she had no regrets. Even if she had to do it again, she would still make the same choice.

"If that's the case, then why do you suddenly want to be where he is now? Didn't you never think of looking for him back then?"

"..."

The old man was silent for a while, then looked at the fallen leaves in the yard and said, "Probably... because he's afraid of regretting it."

"I don't know how long it will take me. I don't want to be at home all the time for the remaining days, and I don't know what to do, so I just go and have a look."

"I didn't go there to see him. I just wanted to see the things he once described to me. Those beautiful mountains and rivers were the promises we made."

"I have been looking forward to it for a long time. Even though he can no longer accompany me to see it, I still want to see it in person to satisfy myself who once had expectations."

"..."

Meng Xia seemed to understand a little bit, just like she tried her best to be good to Meng Anan and wanted to take care of her former self.

She squeezed the old man's hand and said, "Okay, I'll take you back, and we'll accompany you to see those beautiful mountains and rivers."

The old man curled his lips and said, "Okay."
