His voice was a little hoarse, as if he had just been woken up.
Suddenly, Old Mrs. Chu blamed herself: "I'm sorry, I woke you up."
This couldn't really be blamed on the old lady. It was already after twelve o'clock, who would have thought that they were still sleeping.
The old man and the old lady were old and have little sleep, so they woke up at five o'clock in the morning.
The old lady went out for exercise and came back from a walk. After breakfast, she counted the time on her watch at home and waited.
Until nine or ten o'clock, she didn't dare to call Chu Zhaoyang, for fear that the young man would sleep in on the weekend.
Finally waited until 12 o'clock, but unexpectedly, he haven't gotten up yet.
Chu Zhaoyang lowered his voice and called: "Grandma."
The voice was obviously very soft, but as soon as Gu Nian heard these two words, she immediately felt no longer sleepy.
Opening her eyes suddenly, she was about to sit up.
It's just that she was still being held by Chu Zhaoyang. Even one arm could trap her tightly and she couldn't move.
But Gu Nian was completely not sleepy at this moment, so she simply snuggled into Chu Zhaoyang's arms, raised her head and listened intently to Chu Zhaoyang's call.
It's just that the sound insulation effect of the phone was too good, and she couldn't hear a word of what the old lady said there.
She could only look up at Chu Zhaoyang with her little face raised.
Chu Zhaoyang gave her a funny look and wanted to ask her if she was not sleepy now.
But he was worried about the old lady on the other end, so he held back.
"Grandma, what's the matter?" Gu Nian had already woken up, so Chu Zhaoyang asked in a normal voice.
"Hey, nothing." Old Mrs. Chu was quite embarrassed, "I just wanted to ask you, when will you take Gu——"
Old Mrs. Chu couldn't remember Gu Nian's name for a while.
Old Mr. Chu glared at her and shouted in a rough voice: "Gu Nian!"
"Oh, yes, Gu Nian. When will you bring Gu Nian back to see us?" Old Mrs. Chu couldn't wait any longer.
After waiting at home for a week, they still haven't seen any movement from their grandson.
"Didn't you say that you wanted to bring her to see us?" Old Mrs. Chu asked.
Chu Zhaoyang lowered his eyes and looked at Gu Nian softly.
Because of her, he even softened his voice unconsciously: "I just told her yesterday that we decided to go back one day next weekend."
Afraid that Gu Nian would work overtime, so it was difficult to determine the time. Chu Zhaoyang said: "I'm afraid that she will work overtime on the weekend, so it's difficult to determine now. I'll tell you on Friday."
It was confirmed that it will be next week, and Old Mrs. Chu was very satisfied.
She was sorely annoyed by her grandson's gentle voice. It was no exaggeration to say that she had never heard her grandson speak in such a gentle voice.
In the past, the sound was just like ice particles, which could freeze people into ice slivers.
Old Mrs. Chu rolled her eyes, knowing that no one around her could hear her, but she still lowered her voice as if she was guilty and asked, "Is Gu Nian next to you now?"
Chu Zhaoyang lowered his eyes and looked at Gu Nian. Although the corners of his mouth were not curved, the soft smile in his eyebrows was like the warm sun outside the window, making Gu Nian's whole body warm.
It also gave him a handsome face, which looked like he was smiling.
"Yes." Chu Zhaoyang replied.
Before the old lady asked Gu Nian to answer the phone and talk, Chu Zhaoyang said first: "If you have anything you want to say, I will convey it for you. Or you can wait until you meet someone next week to tell her."
Yo, look what he was protecting.
The grandson's paralyzed face appeared in her mind, and the old lady felt as if she saw a lion protecting his territory, grinning at the surrounding beasts, protecting its food fiercely.
The old lady clicked her tongue and said, "Why don't you just let us say a few words? Can I still eat her?"
From Chu Zhaoyang's answer, Gu Nian could guess that they were talking about her now.
She didn't know what the two of them were talking about.
Gu Nian was so nervous that his heart was in his throat.
"Please be considerate, she is too nervous. Yesterday, she kept grabbing me and asking me what you and grandpa like. Now that you want to talk suddenly, it scares her." At this moment, Chu Zhaoyang even had a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Gu Nian was so embarrassed that she buried her face into his chest and rolled around.
If this man said this directly, would the old lady think that she was petty and not generous enough?
"Hey, look how secure you are." Old Mrs. Chu didn't think much about it.
Just seeing how protective his grandson was, she could tell how much he liked her.
For a moment, she felt extremely anxious.
She hope the girl was good and lived up to her grandson's liking.
She was also afraid that the girl was not good enough, but her grandson already liked her so much, and it was rare to like her like this.
If they must break them up, they be a bad person.
She's afraid, the relationship with grandson will be far away.
The old lady sighed silently, she still has to wait a week to see the outcome!
"Okay, remember to bring her next week." The old lady asked again.
After receiving Chu Zhaoyang's assurance, she hung up the phone.
Then, she said to Old Mr. Chu, "Did you hear that? My grandson will bring someone over next week."
Old Mr. Chu sat on the single main seat of the sofa, looking like he didn't care. He snorted and said in a rough voice: "Let them come!"
"Yo, yo, yo." Old Mrs. Chu was very embarrassed and said angrily, "You can even remember the name of that little girl. What are you pretending now! If you want to see your future granddaughter-in-law, just say so. No need to pretend."
"Who wants to see her!" Old Mr. Chu said with a tigerish face and his voice became louder and louder.
Having lived with him for most of her life, how could Old Mrs. Chu still not understand his temper?
Typically speaking, one was not upright and did not admit it, but what he did was exposed.
"Oh, I don't know who got up early in the morning, walked around the living room with hands behind his back, and told me the time every hour, just like the cuckoo in the clock." Old Mrs. Chu pointed to the wall hanging antique old clock.
Of course, the call was definitely not as good as the cuckoo in the clock.
Old Mr. Chu's face turned red, and he didn't know whether he was angry or ashamed.
Being teased by Old Mrs. Chu, he became more and more unwilling to admit it and said harshly: "I haven't met her yet. What do you mean by my future granddaughter-in-law? Don't talk nonsense! If I'm not satisfied, I will not agree!"
Old Mrs. Chu had already seen through his tricks and was too lazy to pay attention to him.
Standing up slowly, she said: "Just be tough! Anyway, I'm telling you, before you get to know Gu Nian, you can't show her this face when she comes! You also said that you haven't seen her yet, so you are in a hurry to deny it. What are you even saying!"
Old Mrs. Chu felt helpless when she saw Old Mr. Chu's stubborn look.
Shaking her head and sighing, she didn't know if he could listen, but she still said: "What if the girl is very good? What is you hurt your grandson's feeling? It's not easy for your grandson to fall in love with a girl after all these years, don't embarrass your grandson."
"Hmph!" Old Mr. Chu snorted with a sullen face.
"If it's not a good one, I won't agree to it, so don't worry." Old Mrs. Chu promised.
Old Mr. Chu's face looked better now.
***
On Chu Zhaoyang's side, after hanging up the phone, Gu Nian had wrapped herself in a quilt so that she couldn't even see his round shoulders.
However, the person was still lying in his arms, so the softness that made Chu Zhaoyang feel uneasy was always close to him.
He couldn't see her, but he could feel her.
This feeling was very novel, Chu Zhaoyang liked it very much.
Both of them woke up and did not sleep again.
But Chu Zhaoyang was lazy and just wanted to hold her like this.
"The old lady wanted me to answer the phone just now?" Gu Nian asked.
"She's just asking if you are around." Chu Zhaoyang said..
So, the old lady had such an intention, but before she had time to bring it up, Chu Zhaoyang rejected it.
Gu Nian was a little worried: "Does the old lady think I'm rude?".
"Grandma will only think that I am protecting you." Chu Zhaoyang replied, not wanting her to be too nervous about this matter.
Don't think too much about things that haven't happened yet until you know the outcome.
Otherwise, the more you think about it, the more nervous you will become.
But Chu Zhaoyang didn't tell lies. He really wasn't worried that the two elders would dislike her.
His girl was so nice, and those who didn't like her have eye problems and could not recognize people well.
And he thought that the eyes of the two elders were pretty good.
"By the way, you haven't told me yet, what does the old lady like?" Because a phone call from the old lady reminded Gu Nian.
Last night... she was tortured by him last night almost fainted in the end.
