"Wait a mininute."

Shen Rao's kiss failed to fall as Qi Yan covered his lips. She frowned slightly and didn't look at him, as if she was thinking.

Shen Rao didn't move, just stared at her with deep eyes, his thin lips touching the palm of her hand, feeling hot and itchy.

Seeing that she remained silent, some grievance welled up in his dark eyes. He rubbed his lips against the thin calluses on her palm, squinted his eyes, and spoke slowly.

"...Qi Yan, speak."

Qi Yan raised her eyes, her clear pupils met his, and her eyes flashed.

"I was just thinking about how to give you a sense of security."

"Oh?" Shen Rao raised his eyebrows slightly, "Have you figured it out?"

"No."

Qi Yan shook his head very honestly. Shen Rao found it a little funny, but he couldn't quite laugh.

Qi Yan moved closer to him, and from behind, it looked like they were kissing, but in fact, her hand was between them.

Her sharp eyes locked into his, and every word she spoke was solemn and yet tender.

"I listen to you. I'll do whatever you tell me to do."

"..."

Shen Rao looked at her without changing his expression.

Slowly, slowly, the ears and neck became covered with red, and the whole person looked like a ripe peach.

Shen Raoyan was stunned. He was so embarrassed that his whole body turned red and his brain was about to smoke.

It was indeed smoking. I couldn't remember anything else now. My mind was filled with Qi Yan, Qi Yan...

Qi Yan chased him without any expression and asked, "What do you want me to do?"

Shen Rao: “…”

Shen Rao's face was red, his lips were pursed to reveal a pale pink, and his eyes were sparkling.

He glanced at the majestic Jade Guanyin and felt a rare sense of shame.

He leaned close to her ear and whispered something.

"..."

Qi Yan looked back at his shy face, and with her hand hanging by her side, she scratched the palm of her hand that was still itchy with her thumb.

Before she could say anything, there was a rhythmic knock on the door behind her.

Shen Rao quickly stood up and looked away with a faint blush on his face.

Qin Nongyu, who was standing at the door, withdrew his hand that was half-opening the door and looked between the two of them.

Qi Yan's expression was calm, and there was no sign of anything unusual.

But the grandson she had watched grow up since he was a child was not too easy to understand. She looked at the statue of Guanyin behind them and glared at Shen Rao with a stern face.

"No rules."

It would be fine if you just do it on a normal day, but how dare you do it in front of Buddha!

Shen Rao felt a little guilty, so he lowered his head and said nothing.

If it were normal, he would have been laughing and talking nonsense, but now he is so honest.

Qin Nongyu was a little surprised. This was a rare opportunity. Just as he was about to scold him again, Qi Yan raised his foot to block in front of him and said with a smile.

"I'm sorry, Grandma Shen, I'm not sensible enough."

"...I'm not talking about Miss Qi..."

Qin Nonyu obviously didn't expect Qi Yan to stand up to defend Shen Rao, and for a moment she didn't know how to react.

"Don't talk about him. I asked him to stay here with me."

Qi Yan was still smiling warmly, but her hand behind her back was holding Shen Rao's hand, not too hard, but very tightly.

It was airtight, like holding his heart.

This was used to suppress the heart palpitations, but they only got worse.

Shen Rao looked at her straight back with his droopy black eyes and slowly held her hand.

With every word she spoke, a bone-penetrating warmth seeped from her hands into her heart, gradually spreading to every part of her body.

Shen Rao's look of a young boy in love naturally did not escape Qin Nongyu's eyes.

She looked at Shen Rao, then at Qi Yan who was following her closely, and sighed softly.

"Okay, it's me, an old woman, who is meddling in other people's affairs."

"Don't say that."

Qi Yan stepped forward and held her hand.

Qin Nongyu covered her thin but strong arm, looked at her deeply, and spoke to Shen Rao.

"Shen Rao, you go out first."

"grandmother?"

Shen Rao looked at Qi Yan, feeling very worried.

"go out."

Qin Nongyu's words cannot be disputed.

But Shen Rao still stood there, motionless like a statue.

"You go out first. I want to talk to Grandma Shen."

It was only after Qi Yan spoke that he moved toward the door eagerly, and before closing the door, he gave some instructions.

"I'm outside, call me if you need anything."

"it is good."

He felt relieved only after Qi Yan agreed.

Seeing him like that, Qin Nongyu was quite angry, "Still looking? Can I, your grandma, eat you?"

Shen Rao: “…”

He had no choice but to close the door silently. After a "click", the side hall returned to silence.

Qin Nongyu let go of Qi Yan and walked slowly to the Guanyin seat. Looking at the jade Guanyin that was enough to shock people's hearts, he clasped his hands together, bowed devoutly, and then turned around to look at her.

"Xiaoyan, can I call you that?"

"Yes, you are the elder, please go ahead."

Qi Yan nodded.

Qin Nonyu's tense expression relaxed visibly. She extended her hand towards Qi Yan and smiled kindly.

"Come, Xiaoyan, come to grandma."

Qi Yan was stunned for a moment, but still walked towards her and held her hand.

Qin Nongyu held her hand tightly, which was well maintained but still had fine lines on it. The other hand gently touched her face. This time she did not stop in mid-air, but touched her cheek.

The dry and warm hands of our elders are filled with deep love and compassion.

"Xiaoyan, you really look like your grandma..."

When Qi Yan heard this, he just raised his eyes and was stunned by the scene he saw.

The old woman, who had been tough for half her life, was now in tears, with tears falling like broken beads. She held Qi Yan's face and choked with sobs.

"Xiao Yan, it's Grandma Shen who is useless. It's Grandma Shen who is useless. It's me who is useless. It's me who is useless..."

She cried so hard that she could hardly stand, but she still stubbornly looked at her face with blurry eyes. Tears flowed like a tide, and she seemed to have aged ten years in an instant.

Qi Yan caught her staggering body and remained silent.

Qin Nonyu looked at her face. The familiar features and eyebrows gradually overlapped with the person in her memory. Her eyes became hot and her lips trembled.

“Sister, I’m useless, sister… I almost failed to protect the Shen family. Xiao Rang and his wife died, and even Shen Rao almost… Sister… Sister… I’m useless… I’m useless… I’m so sorry to Brother Shen…”

"..."

Qi Yan slowly hugged her back, and Qin Nongyu leaned on her shoulder, sobbing and crying, as if she wanted to take this opportunity to let out all the grievances and pains of these years at once.

Qi Yan supported her thin and trembling back, looked straight at the compassionate Guanyin, lowered his eyes and spoke softly.

"You've done very well. My grandmother once mentioned you. She praised you and said she was proud of you."

"...Really, really?"

Qin Nonyu raised her head in a daze, her tearful eyes filled with a hint of hope.

Qi Yan gave an affirmative smile: "You are her best old friend. You should know better than me that you are the best in her heart."

"..."

Tears flashed in Qin Nonyu's eyes. She quickly wiped away the hot tears that were about to burst out of her eyes, took a breath, and held back her unsteady sobs.

"I'm sorry for losing my composure, but..."
