Grandma held Ji Buwang with one hand and Mu Jingzhe with the other. After nagging them for a long time, she mentioned Ji Buwangs maternal grandfather.

I cant be the only one to see her. Your Grandpa has to see her too. Hell like her as well. Oh right, wheres your Grandpa? Why is he never around She shouted for her eldest son and asked him to look for his father. She said that Buwang had returned with his wife-to-be, but as she spoke, her mind gained clarity.

Thats not right. Buwang, how can you get married? When I heard them say that you wanted to get married, I thought that it was fake news. Arent you still a small child? Your parents

Grandma paused as she spoke. Your parents are dead. I remember now. Your parents are dead and I will die soon too.

Perhaps because she had suddenly remembered all this, Grandma fainted after saying that. Ji Buwang felt very upset when he saw her like this.

However, his uncle skillfully covered her with a blanket. Its fine. The doctor said that falling asleep is good for her health and that she doesnt get too agitated that way. This happens when she occasionally thinks of your mother or your maternal grandfather.

By the time she wakes up, shes forgotten again. Shes been like this for the past six months. She rarely has a clear mind. Let her bask in the sun and get some fresh air. The doctor said that this is good for her health.

Although basking in the sun was good for her health, they didnt let her do this in the end because the weather was too stuffy and hot.

His Eldest Uncle felt very helpless. In the past, it wasnt so hot here. It wasnt this bad. I dont know why it started getting hot two days ago. Its stuffy as well. This heat is abnormal. Were just looking forward to it raining soon.

The New Year had just passed, but it was already very stuffy and hot, making one feel vexed.

It will.

Ji Buwang and Mu Jingzhe kept Grandma company. Seeing his white-haired maternal grandmother like this made them feel quite upset.

He was even a little worried. He was a few years older than Jingzhe. Perhaps he would be the one to leave Jingzhe first in the future.

But if he left, would Jingzhe feel as terrible as his maternal grandmother felt now? The person left behind was actually in great agony, so if possible, Ji Buwang hoped that he would be the person to leave second.

But wouldnt this mean that Jingzhes lifespan would have to be much shorter?

Ji Buwang was conflicted. While no one was paying attention, he secretly held Mu Jingzhes hand and made up his mind. He hoped they would die on the same day, month, and year.

Its rare for you to take the initiative to hold my hand. What are you thinking? Mu Jingzhe was curious.

Im thinking about the future. I dont want you to be a lonely old lady, so Ill have to die on the same day, month, and year as you. Are you willing to do that?

Die on the same day, month, and year as you? Do you think Im your sworn brother? Mu Jingzhe laughed. Even if you die early, I wont be like your maternal grandmother. I will find handsome old men, dance with them, and have lots of fun.

Modern plaza dancing even included the romantic duet dance.

Ji Buwang hadnt expected Mu Jingzhe to answer like this. This one sentence managed to make him explode. Handsome old men? Can anyone be more handsome than me? Even when Im old, Ill still be the most handsome man. After having a taste of a handsome old man like me, how could you possibly fall for other men?

When Mu Jingzhe heard him call himself a handsome old man, she started to laugh uncontrollably. Ji Buwang laughed as well.

Because it was so stuffy and hot, her hands started sweating after a while. However, Ji Buwang didnt let go. Upon seeing Mu Jingzhe fan herself again, he also fanned her with his hand. Ill make a fan for you when we get back.

You know how to make one?

I do. Its just a fan, right? Isnt that simple? Ill make one for you to fan yourself later, Ji Buwang promised.

The two of them sat beside Grandma and chatted with her as they waited for the sun to set.

They all knew that, given Grandmas age and health, this might be their last time with her.

The sun soon set and there was no longer any light, but it was still stuffy and hot. Grandma didnt wake up either. Eldest Uncle pushed her back to let her sleep some more and asked Ji Buwang and Mu Jingzhe to go eat.

After the meal, they were covered in sweat. Grandma had woken up by then as well. Eldest Aunt skillfully fed her mother-in-law while Ji Buwang and Mu Jingzhe watched from the side.

Grandma actually finished an entire bowl of rice. Eldest Aunt clicked her tongue in wonder. Looks like Grandma is really happy. She doesnt usually eat so much.

Grandma, you have to eat just as much in the future, Ji Buwang said.

Grandma woke up again after hearing Ji Buwangs words. I wont be able to eat again. This is my last meal. Thats why I ate so much.

Upon hearing these inauspicious words, Ji Buwang was just about to retort when Grandma reached out and held his hand tightly. What a coincidence that youre here too, Buwang. I can rest assured now. Ive been waiting for you.

Ji Buwang was glad that he had come. Ill come see you again when I have time.

However, Grandma didnt seem to hear him. She only looked at the empty roof and said, They kept urging me to leave, but I didnt listen. I had to wait for you. Its good that youre here. Lets go together. If Grandma brings you along, you wont be afraid.

Mom, where are you taking Buwang? Can we come? Eldest Aunt, who was listening from the side, couldnt help but tease her.

Its not time for you guys yet. It will just be me and Buwang. Buwang, hold my hand and dont let go. Dont be afraid Grandma held Ji Buwangs hand and didnt let go. When she saw Mu Jingzhe, she suddenly said, Poor child What are you going to do in the future Dont marry Buwang. Youll cry Youll cry

Grandmas words were baffling and strange. For some reason, Mu Jingzhe felt a little uncomfortable under her gaze.

Eldest Aunt knew that Mu Jingzhe and Ji Buwang were getting married, so these words werent auspicious. She quickly stood up and said, Shes just saying that brides cry when they get married. She didnt mean anything else by it. Shes so muddle-headed that she didnt finish her sentence. Let her rest. Her mind isnt completely clear.

Actually, Grandmas mind was clear. It even felt like her mind was the clearest at that moment. Otherwise, her eyes wouldnt be so bright.

Grandma grabbed Ji Buwangs hand very tightly. It took a lot of effort for Eldest Aunt to pull Ji Buwangs hand out of Grandmas grasp. Ignoring her struggle, she pushed Ji Buwang and Mu Jingzhe out. Lets go. Lets go out.

When Grandma saw that Ji Buwang was about to leave, she got anxious. She even shouted that she wanted to leave with him, but her attention was quickly diverted and Ji Buwang and Mu Jingzhe were pulled outside.

Dont mind your grandmothers words. Shes like this all the time. She is not very clear-headed.

His Eldest Uncle explained, After you go with me to offer incense to Grandpa tomorrow morning, you should go back. Grandma has seen you two, so its fine. Preparing for your wedding is more important.

After saying that, Eldest Uncle realized that he didnt sound very nice and quickly explained, Im not chasing you guys away. Its Its because the wedding is more important.

I know. Ji Buwang smiled.. We originally planned to go back tomorrow anyway.
