“You young people are always busying yourselves with work.” At the lakeside, Old Lu had reeled in a big fish. “Lixing too. Two days ago, I told him to rest for two days but he didn’t listen and spent the whole day working. Qingqing ah, if you have the time go drag him to rest for two days. When the company wasn’t stable, he gave that as a reason to monitor it at every moment. Now that it has stabilized, he’s still not around.”
Ji Qingqing smiled. “Grandpa, don’t worry, I will.”
“Come, come, come, the fish has been hooked. Tonight Aunt Pei will be making steamed fish for us to eat.”
Aunt Pei got up and looked at the fish. “Ok, let’s see… Oh my, Old Master, this fish is lively. How fresh!” She glanced at the time. “It’s 5 pm. Old Master, I’ll go first to prepare dinner. Also, you should stop fishing. Go rest.”
“Ok. I’ll rest, I’ll rest.”
Ji Qingqing quickly helped Old Lu up.
Meanwhile, Aunt Pei carried the bamboo basket with the fish into the villa.
“Qingqing ah, Grandpa is giving you a mission. Are you able to do it?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJi Qingqing helped Old Lu carry his fishing rod. “What is it?”
“Li Lixing, this kid, his feathers have hardened; now he doesn’t listen to me and I’m unable to convince him. How about this? See if you have any ideas that can bring him outdoors to take a walk.”
“Bring him outside to take a walk?”
TL note: ‘take a walk’ implies the following: have a momentary change of pace/lifestyle/scenery or enjoy the outside which is not related to work by doing leisure activities
“Apart from business trips and surveying the company, Lixing has never traveled to the other provinces for a holiday. But during the previous time you went to film, although it was only for a day, he still made an exception for you. I also have a brief understanding of the company’s situation; in the earlier stages there were some issues but now things have stabilized. So, I was thinking that you might have some ideas to bring him out to relax; he shouldn’t be worried about the company’s matters all the time.”
“He… has never traveled for leisure before?”
“No.” Old Lu sighed. “His parents passed away early. It was me that put too much pressure on him.”
Each time Old Lu spoke about this, he always felt guilty. In his heart, he firmly believed that it was he who caused Lu Lixing to develop into his current solitary self.
“Grandpa, don’t worry. I will.”
“Then Grandpa will leave this task to you.”
Ji Qingqing smiled and nodded.
It was 8 pm and Lu Lixing still hadn’t come back. As Old Lu’s age was up in the years, he couldn’t stay up and retired early to his room to rest. Meanwhile, Ji Qingqing waited for him in their room. Only till it was late at night at around 9 pm did Lu Lixing return home.
The room was brightly lit.
Lu Lixing noticed Ji Qingqing patiently waiting for him and removed his outer coat. “You’re waiting for me?”
“Of course, I’m waiting for you.”
“What is it?”
“I have two things I want to ask you.”
Lu Lixing raised his eyebrows. “Two things?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“First, why did you lie to me?”
Hearing her words, Lu Lixing started to feel a little sheepish but he still put up a composed front. “When did I lie to you?”
“You said that Aunt Pei took care of a dog who is called ‘Baby’, but today, Aunt Pei told me that Si Si is her first dog. How are you going to explain this?”
Lu Lixing answered in surprise, “She didn’t take care of them before? A long time must have passed so I remembered wrongly.”
“But in the filming city, you said with certainty that…”
Lu Lixing didn’t dare to continue this topic with her and interrupted her, “What’s the second thing?”
The first matter wasn’t especially important so she turned her mind to the second one.
Compared to the first matter, the second matter was still more important.
Ji Qingqing’s brow knitted. “As for the second matter… Today brother Qin contacted me. He said that you called him personally and agreed to let me participate in the program?”
Lu Lixing nodded. “That’s right.”
