Capítulo 101: Grumpy Grandpa

When Shen Xi saw the old man's happy look, she did not know why, but she also felt happy. "Sure, you can call me Xixi," she said happily.

Lu De wrung his hands awkwardly as he eyed Shen Xi. Tentatively, he asked, "Can you call me Grandpa?"

Shen Xi was instantly stunned. It was not because the old man's request was excessive, but because when the old man in front of her made this request, the pleading, hope, and uneasiness in his eyes... It caused a deep, inexplicable sadness to well up from within.

The old man must have missed his granddaughter dearly.

A smile bloomed on Shen Xi's face, and she called Lu De sweetly, "Grandpa!"

Being called 'Grandpa' made Lu De's heart burst with joy. His empty, lonely heart, bereft of something he could not put into words, filled with laughter and light, the missing piece of a puzzle that had gnawed on him for more than ten years. Lu De's eyes swam, tinged in red.
