On a rainy night, the school beauty knocked on my door and asked for shelter

Chapter 195
Sensible and insightful!

As evening approached, Su Yuqing rubbed her stomach and followed Chen Mo back to her grandparents' house.

Anyone who didn't know better would think she was pregnant because of that action.

"What's wrong with Yuqing?

" Grandma asked curiously, looking at Su Yuqing's actions.

"I ate too many snacks, I'm too full," Chen Mo said with a smile.

"You brat, don't you know how to control yourself?

What are we going to do for dinner?

" Grandma glared at Chen Mo.

"It's alright, you guys always eat late anyway, so let's eat a little later.

We can also make some rice porridge to help you cleanse your system," Chen Mo said with a smile.

"Okay, but aren't you worried about making Su Yuqing sick?

She can't overeat next time," Grandma said with concern.

Su Yuqing nodded shyly, feeling a little embarrassed.

The main reason is that everything Chen Mo chose was really delicious, making it hard to resist.

Shortly after the two returned, Grandpa also returned home.

Seeing the two playing games in front of the TV, he smiled and asked, "How was your shopping today?

""I had a wonderful time shopping.

""Chen Mo treated me to lots of delicious food," Su Yuqing replied with a smile.

"When Momo was little, he loved to wander around the food stalls near the stage.

But I didn't give him much money back then, so the snacks he could buy were limited.

He could never get enough of them and would always crave them.

" Grandpa recalled Chen Mo's childhood with a happy smile on his face.

Raising an obedient and sensible child is a very happy thing.

It's something that brings joy to our memories.

They thought that Chen Mo's parents had abandoned him, and that the child would cry and make a fuss.

But he was surprisingly sensible.

She even said she would take care of her grandparents instead of her parents.

The two elders were deeply moved at the time.

And Chen Mo kept his word.

When he sees his grandparents are tired, he will immediately go over to help them by massaging their backs and shoulders, doing his best to help them relax.

However, my grandparents were actually worried about it before.

It's gratifying to see a child who is sensible, but the more sensible a child is, the deeper their thoughts and feelings tend to be hidden.

Because a child is still a child, when he is too sensible, it means that he has hidden part of his true nature in front of others.

Sometimes, if this situation worsens, it's not a good thing.

Therefore, sometimes, it is a blessing for adults that children are sensible, and it is also a blessing for children that adults are insightful.

It was precisely because his grandparents had a broader perspective and did not treat Chen Mo as a perfect puppet who only needed to listen to them that Chen Mo was able to grow up healthily.

They would encourage Chen Mo to let his true nature shine through.

Take him out to play and have fun.

Without these two insightful adults, perhaps the sensible child would not be able to achieve healthy physical and mental development.

Just like when he was a child watching Chen Mo play games, even though Grandpa didn't really understand these things and wasn't very interested in games.

But I will try my best to stay by your side and watch.

He would always pretend to be engrossed, listening as Chen Mo explained the game's techniques and content to him while playing.

Be a good listener.

Chen Mo no longer needs a listener to give him a sense of fulfillment.

But his grandfather still habitually stays nearby.

Time always seems to fly by for children, but it moves slowly in the hearts of the elderly.

Even though Chen Mo is now a grown man, and even though he has brought his girlfriend home.

But in his grandfather's eyes, in his hallucinations, he still looked like he did when he was a child.

The time spent together as a family is always simple and peaceful.

An hour later, Chen Mo took Su Yuqing out for another walk.

After they finished digesting, they returned home.

Grandma has already cooked dinner.

There was still a lot of food left over from lunch, so we just cooked some soup for dinner.

The whole family enjoyed the meal very much.

After dinner, it was already 7 p.

m.

At this time, there was one last late-night bus.

After considering it for a moment, Chen Mo decided that if he could catch the last bus home, he would take the night bus; if he couldn't, he would stay at his grandparents' house.

After saying goodbye to their grandparents, the two went to the old bus station near the park and waited quietly.

Near the park, at the old bus station, only a single streetlamp stands, its dim light covered with a thin layer of dust, casting a weak glow on a small patch of uneven cement ground.

At this moment, the sky had completely changed from a light blue-gray to a deep black-gray.

The daytime hustle and bustle has completely subsided, and the unique tranquility of the old town descends quietly in the evening breeze.

The station was quiet; apart from them, there were no other people waiting for the train.

Occasionally, a cyclist's figure would pass by under the shadow of the roadside trees, the bells ringing crisply and leaving behind shimmering light and shadow.

Further away, a few clear barks of dogs and the indistinct voices of people returning home could be heard, sounding particularly clear in the quiet night, carrying a strong sense of everyday life, yet distant and not noisy.

A cool evening breeze swept by, ruffling Su Yuqing's soft bangs and the hem of her light skirt, and bringing a sense of comfort to her cheeks, which were slightly warm from eating.

"It's getting a bit chilly.

" Su Yuqing subconsciously hugged her arms.

"Yeah, it's evening after all.

" Chen Mo replied, naturally taking off his slightly oversized casual jacket and draping it over Su Yuqing's shoulders.

His body heat and the faint scent of laundry detergent still lingered on the coat, instantly blocking out the cool evening breeze and bringing a sense of being enveloped in warmth.

Su Yuqing was slightly taken aback, then a familiar warmth welled up in her heart.

She did not refuse, but gently grabbed the collar of her coat and wrapped herself up tighter.

She looked up at Chen Mo, who was bathed in the glow of the streetlights.

The dim, yellow light softly outlined his profile, revealing a high nose bridge and deep-set eyes—a serene profile unlike anything seen during the day.

Feeling her gaze, Chen Mo turned his head and smiled slightly at her.

The light from the streetlamp cast a soft starlight shadow on his eyes, causing Su Yuqing's heart to skip a beat for no apparent reason.

Her face flushed slightly, and she quickly lowered her head, pretending to look at the light and shadow on the ground.

Her fingertips inadvertently touched a square, hard object in her coat pocket, and she instinctively touched it.

It was those brand-new pink banknotes that Grandpa had given Chen Mo—they hadn't been completely spent, and the few remaining red banknotes lay there quietly, like a warm reminder of every bit of care and affection she had received that afternoon.

I recall when my grandmother was still alive, I would hold her hand and walk under the starlight after watching a play.

I could feel that simple warmth so clearly in another family's elderly person.

The two stood side by side under the lamp, without saying much.

The night was quiet all around, with only the whisper of the wind.
