Stopping the car, I watched the vehicles coming and going, dodging the cars that passed close by.

I quickly opened the car door. Pei Shi Yu, who was already inside, waited for me to open the door and then asked, "Shall we have dinner together tonight?"

"Sure, it's been a while since we've been together."

"The result of being stubborn."

"You were so harsh with me that day, who doesn't have a temper?"

"There must be a reason for your bad mood."

"I thought you had a change of heart."

"Just making do."

"Don't just make do. We should get married based on love. I said before that I would work hard."

"Working hard isn't just talking, you have to take action."

"Of course, we already have a baby, I won't make you angry."

"Getting angry is a human instinct, not decided by anyone. Being able to control emotions is progress."

"You have to make everything so clear. I don't have a bad temper. Last time, that promise was an expression of love."

"Accepted."

After a period of discord, the atmosphere between us today finally returned to the harmony of the past. I think that once there is a conflict between people, as long as they talk it out, they will accept each other again, including lovers.

"Lao Mei is back, arriving tonight. I've already made plans with him to treat him and his wife to dinner."

"I just happen to want to spar with her..."

"Sparring with alcohol?" Pei Shi Yu smiled and looked at me.

"Yeah, he's a pretty good guy."

"Which of my friends isn't good?"

"I haven't met many of your friends. If President Li counts as one, then there's only him left."

"Friendship isn't about quantity, but quality. Look at the kind of people you surround yourself with."

"There's no one left. There's only Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu is working at my mom's place now."

"What about your friends from prison?"

"Don't mention it. My prison days are over. Sometimes I feel annoyed when I think about it."

"It has nothing to do with me," Pei Shi Yu emphasized again.

"I know, it was all Lin Hai's fault. He's already been punished. I still can't escape the connection with him. The paternity test has already been done. He's 100% his son. He called me this morning and said that my grandfather is sick in the nursing home and asked me to go see him."

"I'll go with you."

"Is that okay?"

"What's not okay? He knows me too."

"I'm just embarrassed for you." I teased her on purpose.

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. There was nothing between Lin Yang and me. The engagement ceremony wasn't completed either. It was just a small interlude."

I was about to speak when Pei Shi Yu asked curiously, "Why is he in a nursing home? Wasn't he quite healthy?"

"He was probably sent there recently. They don't want him to know that Lin Yang is dead. Lin Hai finally did one thing right."

"He'll find out sooner or later."

I didn't continue the topic, but used an analogy, "If it was me who died, I wonder if Lin Hai would do the same!"

"Don't think so negatively. There must be some misunderstanding."

"He said before that I wasn't his son, saying that his wife secretly did a paternity test for us. Now we did one together, and the results are out, but he's not particularly affectionate towards me."

"Do you think your personality is easy for people to get close to?"

"What's wrong with me?" I said a little displeased.

"Your temper is too stubborn. People like that tend to suffer. In comparison, Lin Yang's personality is much gentler."

I didn't say anything. Maybe what Pei Shi Yu saw was just one side of things, or maybe she doesn't understand my childhood experiences yet. That will solidify a person's personality as they get older. If I had received the same care and love as Lin Yang when I was a child, I don't think I would have the personality flaws I have now. Or perhaps Pei Shi Yu can't empathize with me!

Seeing that I didn't speak, she spoke first and asked me, "Are you free this morning? How about we go to the nursing home now?"

"Okay, I guess." I replied faintly.

"Change your tone."

"Okay." I immediately smiled stiffly.

At this time, our car was almost at Pei Shi Yu's company. I immediately turned the car around and drove quickly in the opposite direction towards the nursing home.

From the time we left the hospital, it was already around ten in the morning. The nursing home that Lin Hai sent me wasn't far from here, about ten kilometers away. After the rush hour, the road was quite smooth.

Twenty minutes later, I parked directly in front of the nursing home. Judging from the level of this nursing home, Lin Hai can be considered a filial son. This is a very high-end nursing home. The outside looks comparable to a star-rated hotel, and the environment is also very good.

Pei Shi Yu observed as carefully as I did. I opened the car door for her, and she said softly, "It's nice to live here. It feels like a hotel."

"How about we book a room in advance and live here when we get old?" I joked.

"There's nothing wrong with that. Do we need to register when we go in?"

"Yes, Lin Hai called the director in advance and sent me the number."

After saying that, I called the director. After communicating, about ten minutes later, I saw the gate of the nursing home slowly open, and someone came out and asked, "Are you the grandson of the old Mr. Lin?"

I smiled and went up to him and said, "Yes, my grandfather is not feeling well, so I came to see him."

"I haven't seen you before."

"Yeah, I'm usually too busy." I didn't know how to explain it well.

"Come in, someone will receive you inside."

Pei Shi Yu and I walked into the lobby together. The decoration was really no different from a hotel. Even Pei Shi Yu showed a surprised expression. Maybe it's because people like us rarely come to this kind of place. The progress of the times has made it impossible for us to keep up with the times. As long as you have money, as long as you can afford it, coming here to retire is definitely the best choice. Even people my age are envious.

After I registered, the receptionist led us to the door of the room where my grandfather was. After the door was opened, I saw that there was only one bed inside. Obviously, this was a private room, and it was luxuriously decorated.

I hadn't seen him in a few years, and the old man had aged quickly. His head was full of white hair. He seemed surprised to see me and asked a disappointing question, "Where's Lin Yang?"

I didn't answer his question, but asked him directly, "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"

"Why didn't your dad come?"

"Isn't it the same if I come?"

"You've already broken away from our Lin family, why are you still here to see me?"

"Can I break away? You're not feeling well, I'll take you to the hospital for a check-up."

"I'm not uncomfortable," he said stubbornly.

"Why did you call if you weren't uncomfortable?" My mood was also very bad.

"Who's outside?"

I immediately looked outside. Pei Shi Yu's figure flashed outside. It was obvious that the old man's eyesight was still good, or maybe he was looking for Lin Yang's figure.
