Old Mrs. Shen was delighted. Freedom shined in her eyes as she turned to Yu Lili and said, “Isn’t Grandma awesome?”
Yu Lili pursed her lips and nodded her head. “Very awesome!”
Old Mrs. Shen became even more delighted and started laughing out loud as she ran over to Shen Zhilie.
Shen Zhilie’s heart was beating in his throat as he saw his grandmother running toward him. He shouted, “Grandma, please slow down! Don’t get yourself killed!”
Old Mrs. Shen got upset when she heard that and retorted, “What’s that supposed to mean?”
Shen Zhilie’s had no choice but to swallow his grievances as he recomposed his himself and apologized to his grandmother. “Grandma, I was wrong.”
Old Mrs. Shen reached out and held him by the ear and asked, “What did you do wrong?”
“Everything…” Shen Zhilie decided to play a wuss, especially after witnessing the small smile that escaped Yu Lili’s lips, and howled in pain. “Owww, it hurts… It hurts… It hurts…”
The number of onlookers around them increased. Shen Zhilie covered his face in embarrassment. They were in front of an audience.
“Grandma, let’s go. I’ll take you somewhere else.” In order to help Shen Zhilie out of his ordeal, Yu Lili took Old Mrs. Shen’s hand and led her away from the crowd.
Old Mrs. Shen was elated when she heard how Yu Lili had addressed her. With a nod of her head, she held onto Yu Lili’s arm and followed her.
In the blink of an eye, a few hours passed. Although Old Mrs. Shen was healthy and energetic, she was, after all, advanced in years.
At around 7 or 8 p.m., Shen Zhilie forcibly begged Old Mrs. Shen to return to the hotel. Naturally, the old lady was unwilling to. But, she was nevertheless convinced by Yu Lili in the end.
Yu Lili took Shen Zhilie and the old lady to the hotel, a famous five-star hotel in Kingstown. Shen Zhilie had reserved a two-bedroom suite.
Just when Shen Zhilie asked his grandmother to take a shower, the old lady suddenly became afraid that Yu Lili would change her mind. She clung tightly to her arm. Looking at Yu Lili with pleading eyes, she said, “Lili, you promised to stay with me tonight!”
Yu Lili smiled indulgently and replied, “Yes, and I won’t go back on my word.”
Only then was Old Mrs. Shen willing to release her and go into the shower.
Unfortunately, Yu Lili hadn’t brought a change of clothes. She had no choice but to use the hotel’s bathrobe temporarily.
When Yu Lili emerged from the bathroom after her shower, she found the old lady seated on the bed playing a popular online game on the tablet computer. It was a simple game but challenging when it came to the crunch–much like Tetris.
Yu Lili went over to take a look. Old Mrs. Shen held the tablet computer out to her and said, “Come, let’s play together!”
Yu Lili giggled and pushed the old lady’s outstretched hand back to where it had been. She looked at Old Mrs. Shen. After considering her words, she said, “Actually, Grandma, I’ve been meaning to ask you something since the start. Could you please give me an honest answer?”
“What is it?” Old Mrs. Shen blinked her eyes at Yu Lili and proceeded to look back down at her game.
That gesture made the old lady so lovable in Yu Lili’s eyes. She asked, “Why do you like me so much? I haven’t exactly been the friendliest person to you…”
“You saved me.” Old Mrs. Shen answered without any hesitation. She looked at Yu Lili conspiratorially and said, “Truth to be told, I can see a person’s lot in life.”
“Do you mean luck?” Yu Lili asked.
Old Mrs. Shen grinned at Yu Lili. Without a change in beat, she said, “No, I’m referring to destiny.”
