Chapter 1550: Chapter 1551: Mom’s Calling You Home for Dinner
"Yes, yes, yes, I will definitely convey it!"
Saying this, the young master quickly stood up, lowered his head, and hurried away.
"Wait!"
"Is there... anything else?" The young master turned his head and looked at you with a somewhat stiff expression.
"The bodyguard you hit just now broke his nose. While treating them, give an extra fifty thousand for medical expenses."
"I will definitely do so!"
The young master was afraid that you had other requests, so he quickly dashed into the alley with his bodyguards and left in a hurry.
"Humph!"
You sneered and continued walking.
When you arrived at the nursing home, your grandpa was playing chess with an old man, surrounded by a few old pals watching intently.
You didn’t disturb them and instead went into the main hall, where you found Yan Zisu sitting on a small stool, trimming the nails of an elderly lady with gray hair.
"Oh, Mu Yun is here." When the old lady saw you, she smiled immediately, revealing a bare upper gum with only two teeth.
You grew up playing at the nursing home and are very familiar with the elderly here. They all watched you grow up, and you could say they are all your elders.
The work in the nursing home is quite leisurely, and the most Yan Zisu does is comb the elderly’s hair, trim their nails, and leave other professional tasks to the caregivers. Therefore, in the extra time, Yan Zisu is usually sitting in the corner of the hall reading a book.
It’s quite unbelievable to say, but among the women you’ve met so far, there are four geniuses, and Yan Zisu is obviously the fourth.
Privately, you have discussed and tested with Yan Zisu. Merely through self-study and aimless reading, Yan Zisu has now reached graduate level. She learns a variety of things, with the most prominent being math and physics. Yan Zisu could have taken the college entrance exams directly in her third year of junior high, but due to family circumstances at the time, she couldn’t. Besides, she could acquire much specialized knowledge through self-study.
In her two years of high school, Yan Zisu mostly winged it, often self-studying with books borrowed from the city library, and she’s still doing so now.
You have always been unenthusiastic about studying. Of course, if your master hadn’t had strict academic requirements, you wouldn’t have been forced to learn all sorts of random knowledge. Although some of this knowledge might be useful from time to time, you really dislike the feeling of burying your head in books.
"Woof."
Looking down, you find Little Hei enthusiastically wagging its tail, happily rubbing against your pant leg.
"Little Hei, why are you here too?" You picked up Little Hei with both hands, holding its body with your left hand while fiddling with its wet nose with your right hand.
"Woof!"
Little Hei barked, clearly feeling a bit unhappy.
"It doesn’t want you to touch its nose; it feels uncomfortable." Yan Zisu had already finished up with the old lady’s nails by then and stood up, walked over, and took Little Hei from you.
"Hee hee, every time I see this little guy, I can’t help but want to tease it." Even though Yan Zisu took Little Hei aside, you still reached out a finger and poked Little Hei on its forehead, watching it eagerly twist its little body, laughing happily.
"Argh mm!"
As a result, Little Hei suddenly opened its mouth, with teeth not yet fully grown, and took your finger inside. It didn’t bite but held on firmly, grinding your finger with its soft teeth.
"Little Hei!" Seeing you get bitten, Yan Zisu quickly picked up Little Hei.
"Woof." Little Hei wagged its tail at Yan Zisu and offered its mouth.
"No more mischief in the future, or I’ll ignore you!"
Seeing that Yan Zisu was indeed upset, Little Hei whimpered, lowered its head, and its little dog eyes showed guilt and remorse.
"Hmm, not bad, you can teach the young." Saying this, you patted Little Hei’s head and said with a smile, "It’s okay, you didn’t hurt me when you bit just now."
You took Little Hei from Yan Zisu’s hands and said, "Come have lunch at my place at noon; my mom specially asked me to invite you."
Hearing this, Yan Zisu was slightly stunned, then slowly nodded and agreed, "Okay."
"Mu Yun, you rascal, get out here!"
At this moment, your grandpa’s thick voice came from outside the main hall.
"Alright, coming!" You left with Little Hei, and although Yan Zisu wanted to call you back, she gave up and just blushed slightly.
Your mom is a senior year head teacher, so Yan Zisu naturally knows her. They have had some contact in the past, but usually at school, she is the teacher, and Yan Zisu is the student. That’s all there is to it; now that she’s going to your house, your mom is your mom, the so-called "mother-in-law" as soon as the term surfaced in her mind, Yan Zisu’s face turned even redder.
Unlike those girls nowadays who hug today and break up tomorrow, Yan Zisu is very dedicated to her feelings, a trait she inherited from her mother Tau Yan’s excellent genes. Once she decides something, she will never change, even unto death.
Although you haven’t formally said that sentence to her yet, Yan Zisu can feel your heart. She knows she will be bound to you for life, never to part.
"Master, what’s up?"
You ran to your grandpa with Little Hei, only to find Li Qiyi smilingly standing behind your grandpa, gently massaging his back with her delicate hands.
"Sis, why are you here?"
"I missed Grandpa, so I came, of course. Why, is it okay for you to come and not for me?"
"That’s not it, I was just asking."
"Woof."
Little Hei saw Li Qiyi and wagged its tail happily.
"What a cute little dog, Little Yun, where did you pick it up from."
"Little Hei, come, come, Grandpa has jerky for you." Saying this, your grandpa took out a whole pack of jerky from his pocket. As soon as the seal was opened, the aroma of beef filled the air, Little Hei barked several times, wagging its tail even more vigorously.
You put Little Hei on the ground, and it quickly ran to your grandpa and enthusiastically rubbed against your grandpa’s pant leg.
"Come, take it slow and enjoy."
Your grandpa has loved dogs since he was young, especially black dogs. You remember your mom once said that when she was little, your grandpa raised a large dog, which was also black, naturally named Little Hei. Even after it grew into a big dog, its name never changed.
That dog stayed by your grandpa’s side for twelve years and accompanied your mom through a happy and beautiful childhood. When it passed away, your mom cried for a day, and your grandpa was down for several days. Ever since, he never raised a dog again and seldom mentioned it.
There are also some elderly people raising dogs and cats at the nursing home, and your mom once suggested getting a dog for your grandpa, but he refused. Having specifically bought a big pack of beef jerky for Little Hei today is the first time in decades.
"Master, Zisu and I are going home for lunch today, do you want to come?"
