Su Qian: "Once upon a time there was a grandmother. When she was seven or eight years old, there was a famine in the village. There was really no food to eat, so her parents abandoned her.

She had no skills or means of survival, and made a living by picking up garbage. She often looked for food in the garbage, and sometimes if she was lucky, she would pick up something that could be sold, and she spent most of her life like this.

One day, on a bleak autumn night, she picked up a little girl. The girl looked like she was just born not long ago. Perhaps because she had been hungry for a long time, she kept crying. She was afraid that the child would not survive, so she took her back.

My mother-in-law never got married and had no home in her life. The garbage dump and the street were her home. But things started to change after she picked up this abandoned baby.

She used the money she earned from selling waste to buy some seeds and began to learn how to grow vegetables. At the beginning, because she knew nothing, she wasted a lot of seedlings and seeds.

People laughed at her, thinking that she wanted to raise an abandoned baby when she couldn't even support herself. But she saved money and raised this little girl.

"She found the girl while looking for trash. My mother-in-law was uneducated and had never been to school. At first, she called the little girl 'Xiaozhao'.

Su Qian smiled and said, "After all, it was an abandoned baby that was found when looking for food near a garbage dump."

She didn't look sad at all. Instead, Lu Huan felt that her face was filled with a happy smile.

"The name Su Qian was randomly chosen by the staff when she took me to register my household registration at the government office. She was illiterate and didn't know what name to give to an abandoned baby. The staff couldn't think of a good name at the moment, and there were people waiting behind her, so he just randomly picked the word 'Qian'."

"The word 'Qian' was an accident, given by someone else. But the word 'Zhao Zhao' was given by my mother-in-law."

In order to make it easier for him to understand, Su Qian explained the matter of registering the household registration as registering the household registration information with the government.

"In our place, boys and girls can go to school for free, but they have to solve the problem of food and accommodation by themselves. When I started school, my mother-in-law followed me to study. She is a very studious person, but she didn't have the conditions to go to school at that time."

"When we were in school, everyone would buy a book called 'Dictionary', which explained the meaning of Chinese characters. She would open it and read it when she had nothing to do. If she didn't know something, she would ask me how to read this word or what that word meant."

"Later, she saw the word 'Zhao' in the dictionary. The pronunciations of the two words are somewhat similar, but the tones are different. She thought 'zhaozhao' didn't sound good, so she started calling me 'Zhaozhao'."

"Su Qian is me, and Su Zhao is also me. No matter which one it is, it's the name she gave me."

As she spoke, she choked up a little, "Lu Huan, you know what? Without her... there would be no me."

Lu Huan hugged her tightly with a distressed look on his face. "Is grandma...still here? Let's bring her over."

Su Qian nestled in his arms, thinking that he couldn't see it anyway, and her tears flowed uncontrollably.

She shook her head. "She's gone."

Lu Huan didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only stroke her back again and again, "She's here, grandma is always here."

Su Qian was stunned for a moment, and he continued, "She has always been by your side, and hopes that you will be happy."

After hearing this, she immediately broke down in tears, tears falling like beads that could not be stopped. Her thin back and shoulders kept shaking, and occasionally she let out a few sobs that she tried hard to cover up.

Her heart and throat suddenly felt sore. Lu Huan, who was always cold and arrogant, couldn't stop his fingers from trembling as he hugged her.

After an unknown amount of time, Su Qian got tired of crying and fell asleep in his arms.

Lu Huan carried her to the bed and lifted the quilt to cover her.

Seeing the traces of tears still on her face, he reached out and wiped her face with his embroidered robe, then sat beside the bed and stared at her face for a long time.

There are unknown emotions hidden in the deep eyes.

……

When Su Qian woke up the next day, she remembered that she had cried in front of Lu Huan. She felt ashamed and embarrassed and didn't know how to face him.

She sat on the bed and felt upset for a long time, until Zitan came knocking on the door, and then she calmed down.

Zitan, "Miss Su, the master asked if you are awake yet. If you are, please come and have breakfast with us."

Su Qian: "Got it, bring me some water so I can wash up."

"Yes."

Su Qian washed up slowly while calming herself down. Zitan stood by and watched her dawdle, without urging her.

After everything was ready, Su Qian pretended nothing had happened and followed Zitan to his room.

Lu Huan was reading a military book and did not look up when he heard her come in.

Su Qian looked at the meal prepared on the table. "It's only morning now, and you're already eating such a sumptuous meal?"

Lu Huan turned a page of the book and said calmly, "Yeah."

Su Qian didn't know why he suddenly became so cold. He was clearly patting her shoulders and coaxing her last night, and his tone was gentle, which was not like him at all. After a good night's sleep today, he became indifferent again.

It's like changing faces.

Su Qian sat at the table without picking up her chopsticks, just waiting for him.

He asked her to come and have dinner with him, but he was reading a book here, so she didn't dare to pick up her chopsticks until he did.

Lu Huan raised his eyes slightly, looking at her sitting upright, and couldn't help but feel puzzled, "Why don't you eat?"

Su Qian asked back: "How can I dare to eat when you haven't even started eating?"

The corner of Lu Huan's mouth twitched. He was clearly waiting for her to come for dinner, but she made it sound like he was torturing her, as if he was some ferocious trapped beast that would take advantage of her whenever he was not satisfied.

At this time, Su Qian looked like a hedgehog, with a completely different face from the crying woman last night. It seemed as if she would feel unhappy if she didn't prick him.

He had never seen such an unreasonable woman before. Apart from her, no one dared to cause trouble in front of him and try to anger him.

She always said that she was afraid of her, but how much fear did she show in what she said and what she did?

The originally calm heart suddenly became filled with huge waves, and with a hint of anger, "Why don't you dare to eat? Did I give you less food, or did I starve you more?"

"Su Zhao, are you being so unreasonable in front of Yan Xuanye?"

He didn't know what he had done to make her unhappy that she had to talk to him like that.

Su Qian changed the direction of the situation in time, "How about... let's have dinner."

She instantly stopped her aggressive look. Lu Huan was surprised by her change of expression and sighed, "Forget it. I don't want to argue with you."
