Grandpa Du nodded.
"Xiangyi," Du Jiaojiao smiled at Chu Xiangyi, "where are you planning to go?"
Chu Xiangyi replied, "It's the fifteenth today, I'm planning to go to the temple to offer incense."
Du Jiaojiao nodded, "I'll have the driver take you." Understanding Chu Xiangyi's deep devotion, Du Jiaojiao held great respect for her.
Moreover, Chu Xiangyi was always someone who saw the bigger picture.
Chu Xiangyi declined, "No need, I think walking there feels more sincere. Sister, I'll head over first."
"Hmm."
After Chu Xiangyi left, Du Jiaojiao caught up with Grandpa Du's pace, "Xiangyi likes you so much, do you really have the heart to leave her hanging for a lifetime?"
Chu Xiangyi married Grandpa Du when she was eighteen, and it has been more than a decade now.
Throughout these years, she hasn't even caught his glimpse.
"It was her own choice, and nobody forced her." With that said, Grandpa Du continued, "Besides, the Du family hasn't confined her. She's free to leave whenever she wishes."
"But she likes you."
"It's just unrequited love."
Unrequited love is a poison enough to be lethal.
Once afflicted with this poison, one is like a person locked in an iron cage, tortured and tormented.
Yet, the key is clearly in sight, still, they are unwilling to unlock the cage and walk out.
Instead, they choose to be deeply mired in it.
The deeper they sink.
Du Jiaojiao sighed, "If you were willing to give her half of the affection you have for Zhou Zixian, Xiangyi wouldn't be like this now!"
Du Jiaojiao actually felt quite sorry for Chu Xiangyi, a fine young lady, beautiful too, who inexplicably made up her mind to come over and become a concubine, and moreover, to a man who didn't even glance her way.
Isn't that just asking for misery?
A slight smile tugged at Grandpa Du's lips as he stepped forward.
"Where are you going?"
"Back to my room."
Du Jiaojiao said with no response, "Going to chant scriptures again?"
Grandpa Du didn't reply to her.
He called over his assistant upon reaching the study room.
"Bring me some breakfast."
The assistant looked at Grandpa Du in surprise.
As far as he knew, Grandpa Du never ate breakfast, and moreover, it was almost eleven o'clock...
Can breakfast still be bought at this time?
Grandpa Du continued, "I want a cup of soy milk, a ci fan bao with fried dough sticks, and a spring roll. Yes, I only want the breakfast from Wu's on East City Road."
"Okay," the assistant nodded.
Grandpa Du picked up his Buddha beads and added, "From now on, bring me the same breakfast every day at eight o'clock sharp."
The assistant was taken aback once more.
Is the boss changing his ways?
Starting to eat breakfast now.
As he finished, Grandpa Du said, "There's no need to involve others in this."
"Understood." Meaning not to make it widely known; in other people's eyes, Grandpa Du would still be the Grandpa Du who doesn't eat breakfast.
Grandpa Du nodded and then instructed, "Also, tell Li Xiu to come over."
"Okay."
Li Xiu was a young man in his early twenties, full of vigor.
He arrived promptly, "Sir, did you call for me?"
Grandpa Du nodded and handed over a camera, "Can this be fixed?"
Li Xiu took the camera, tinkered with it for a while, and then said, "It's not a big issue, I can fix it."
Grandpa Du then asked, "The memory card used for storing photos and videos in the camera hasn't suffered any damage, has it?"
"No, don't worry," Li Xiu reassured.
Grandpa Du slightly nodded and continued, "The videos and photos in this camera are very precious, so be very careful when you fix it."
"Yes," Li Xiu nodded.
"Is there a way to make a copy of the same memory card?" Grandpa Du went on to ask.
After thinking for a moment, Li Xiu replied, "Yes, it's just quite troublesome and might take some time."
"Time is not an issue."
Because they were returning by train, they ended up delayed by two days on the road.
The train was nowhere near as comfortable as a plane, and Zhao Yu complained, "Oh my gosh! I am never taking a train again!"
It was too uncomfortable!
Ni Yang said with a smile, "Some cities don't have airports; you'll still have to take the train."
"But the train is too slow! My butt hurts!" Zhao Yu grumbled.
Ni Yang continued, "Trains will become faster and faster in the future!"
"Really?" Zhao Yu asked.
"Yes," Ni Yang nodded.
In the future, there will be EMUs and high-speed trains that can rival the speed of airplanes.
After returning to Beijing, Ni Yang resumed her busy work schedule.
While working, she thought about finding a school for Zhao Yu, to start from the first year of high school and sit for the college entrance examination three years later.
Although Zhao Yu was already nineteen years old, this place was not like the future.
