Chapter 30: Chapter 30

Her calling out ‘Grandpa Lin’ seemed to surprise him, drawing his gaze towards her.

In the moment her eyes met his, Shi Yao abruptly paused in the middle of entering the room.

It was fortunate that Grandpa Lin had heard Shi Yao’s voice as well and said in the next moment, “Yaoyao is here? Come over…”

Shi Yao quickly turned her gaze away from Lin Jiage to shoot a sweet smile towards Grandpa Lin. She carried over the tonics she had specially bought from the supermarket earlier that morning to his bedside.

…

“Yaoyao, have you had breakfast yet? If not, I’ll get Auntie Sun to call home and prepare something for you.”

“Yaoyao, how are you doing in school lately? Are there any students or teachers bullying you? If there are, feel free to tell me. I donate quite a sum to your school each year, and I have a close relationship with your principal as well…”

“Yaoyao, is the food in your school not delicious? You seem to look thinner than you were at the Spring Festival. This won’t do. It looks like I’ll have to buy out a stall in your school canteen. Tell me which restaurant’s food you prefer, and I’ll talk with their head chef to have him work at your school…”

Lin Jiage, who was sitting on the sofa by the window, couldn’t help but frown at hearing his grandfather’s endless words.

When he received news that his grandfather had fainted last night, he immediately rushed straight to the hospital, neglecting to even change out of his slippers.

He stood by his grandfather’s bed for the entire night, unable to sleep at all.

His grandfather had woken up shortly before Shi Yao arrived, and after feeling worried for the entire night, Lin Jiage quickly called for the doctor.

It was only when the doctor said that his grandfather’s condition had stabilized that he was finally able to put down the heavy stone in his heart.

After recalling that his grandfather hadn’t eaten a thing, Lin Jiage asked him what he’d like to eat. However, before his grandfather could reply, she suddenly entered. After which, it was as if he didn’t exist at all—his grandfather ignored him entirely and focused all his attention on expressing his concern for her instead.

The doctor had instructed him to prepare some food for his grandfather after he woke up.

Seeing that his grandfather didn’t intend to reply to his question, Lin Jiage asked once again, “Grandfather, what would you like to eat?”

“Yaoyao, remember to visit me when you have time. It will be hard for you to take care of yourself living alone in the school dormitory, so you should visit our home more often so that we can fatten you up.”

Lin Jiage’s frown deepened.

Staring at his grandfather who was completely ignoring him, he raised his voice and asked once more, “Grandfather, the doctor said that you have to eat something. Tell me if there’s anything you’d like, and I’ll get someone at home to send it over—”

“Anything.” This time, before Lin Jiage could finish his sentence, Grandpa Lin interrupted his grandson unhappily, his tone sounding displeased.

After which, without even sparing a glance for his grandson, Grandpa Lin continued to speak to Shi Yao. Compared to the tone he’d taken with Lin Jiage just a moment ago, his voice became doting and kind once more, “Yaoyao, if there’s anything that you want, you must make sure to tell me. I’ll have Auntie Sun buy it for you…”

Just who is your real grandchild? Why don’t you ask me what I want and have Auntie Sun buy it for me?

As this thought flashed through Lin Jiage’s mind, Grandpa Lin suddenly remembered something and turned to his grandson, “Hey, when you make the call to Auntie Sun, tell her to prepare some Coconut Sago. Yaoyao likes that a lot…”

After issuing this instruction to Lin Jiage, Grandpa Lin quickly turned his attention back to Shi Yao, “Yaoyao…”

Hey?

Yaoyao?

Did he not have a name? Must his grandfather express his favoritism so blatantly?

Furthermore, just when his grandfather was finally willing to speak to him, it ended up being for her sake?

Lin Jiage couldn’t stand looking at this duo anymore, so he simply turned away to look out the window.
