Chapter 56 - Lu Lixing, a single dog for 30 years, totally fails at understanding double meanings (1)

How did it feel to dig a pit and fall into it?

Listening as Aunty Pei instructed the servants upstairs, Lu Lixing was gaining a thorough understanding of that feeling.

"These are the clothes that Young Master wore last year. Take out some of Young Master's clothing so that half of the space can be used for Young Madam's clothes. Wait! Half of the space isn't enough. It's too little. More space has to be freed up. Yes, move those clothes to another room. Move this desk away too and bring over a dressing table for Young Madam. Never mind, this wall's design isn't suitable. Move this to Young Master's study. This will be a dressing room for Young Madam..."

The banging and clattering lasted for a while.

Elder Lu turned a deaf ear to the sounds upstairs. "Qingqing, is there any food that you particularly like? Or, is there any food that you don't like? Feel free to tell Aunty Pei about your preferences. Treat this home as your own home. Don't mistreat yourself. Also, remember that if Lixing ever bullies you or doesn't treat you well, you should tell grandpa."

"Thank you grandpa, I'll remember."

At this age, Elder Lu didn't have unfulfilled ambitions left. The only things that he felt worried about was the grandson that he had raised. He was almost thirty and had never dated.

He was okay if Lu Lixing didn't get married. He was just worried that if Lu Lixing continued down this solitary life, he would be all alone in his old age like him.

No, he might be even lonelier than him.

But now that Qingqing was here, Lixing's future wouldn't be a lonely life.

Elder Lu was smiling as he added food to Ji Qingqing's bowl. "Thank me for what? If the two of you can have a happy life together, that would be the best way to thank grandpa."

Ji Qingqing ate the food that Elder Lu had added to her bowl. From her peripheral vision, she glanced at the white hair on Elder Lu's temple and thought of the words that Lu Lixing had said to her. She truly felt bad for this old man.

In the novel, Elder Lu had lost his wife and his son when he was middle-aged and lost his grandson in his old age. When Lu Lixing had died in the novel, Elder Lu had moved out of the villa and into an old house to live out the rest of his years in solitary.

Now that Lu Lixing hadn't died and she had become Lu Lixing's wife, she should return the old man's kindness. Since the old man's wish was to see Lu Lixing get married and have children and have a happy family life, then as Lu Lixing's wife, she should show filial piety and fulfill his grandpa's wish. This way, Elder Lu could peacefully spend his last years.

Although the having children part wasn't doable, she could pretend to be a happy couple with Lu Lixing.

Even though Lu Lixing was quite shameless, he showed filial piety to his grandpa. Since he was willing to plead with her to pretend to be a loving couple in front of his grandpa, she would agree to his request on behalf of his filial piety.

Ji Qingqing looked at the frowning Lu Lixing, who seemed troubled with thoughts. She added pork ribs to his bowl and whispered, "Lu... Hubby, what's wrong?"

-- "1 point has been added to your life. You currently have 11 hours to live."

Getting an increase to his remaining life could no longer affect his mood. As soon as Lu Lixing thought about Ji Qingqing's terrible sleeping habits, he had a headache.

He felt deeply worried about how he would be able to sleep in the future.

"It's nothing. Let's eat."
