Xu Huaian gently put his arm around Shi Qingqian's shoulders and said softly, "Qianqian, don't be sad. We can visit grandpa often in the future."

Shi Qingqian leaned in Xu Huaian's arms and nodded, "Well, Grandpa must be very lonely having been alone for so many years."

The two stood for a while, then walked side by side towards home.

On the way, Shi Qingqian suddenly remembered something and said to Xu Huaian, "Huaian, you said that grandpa has been looking for dad for so many years. Could it be that dad encountered some special situation and there has been no news?"

"From what Grandpa said, my father-in-law must have accepted a confidentiality mission, so we can't find out where he went. In this case, we can only wait until the day he completes the mission."

Xu Huaian did not say that besides waiting for him to complete the mission, it is also possible to wait for the news of his sacrifice, but the greater possibility is that he died silently in some deserted corner under an assumed name.

And his family will never see the day he returns.

Shi Qingqian and Xu Huaian were on their way home.

Shi Qingqian's thoughts drifted far away. Imagining the various situations her father might face, her mood became increasingly heavy and her brows furrowed slightly.

She always felt that the Shi Yuan here was her old Shi, and he must have come here too, so that they, father and daughter, could be reunited.

Xu Huaian sensed her worry and gently held her hand, trying to comfort her: "Qianqian, don't think too much. Your father-in-law is so capable, he will be fine."

"But what if he really encounters danger?" Shi Qingqian stopped, turned and looked at Xu Huaian, with worry flashing in his eyes.

Xu Huaian took a deep breath and looked at Shi Qingqian with a firm gaze: "Qianqian, no matter what happens, we must believe in him and take good care of ourselves and our families. Now, what we need to do is live every day well and wait for his return."

Shi Qingqian nodded. Although she was still uneasy, she was encouraged by Xu Huaian's words.

She took Xu Huaian's hand again and continued walking towards home.

After returning home, Shi Qingqian sat by the window, looking at the starry sky outside, silently praying for her father's safe return.

She has saved a lot of money now, and she is thinking that this time she will not rely on her parents for support, but will take care of them in their old age.

Xu Huaian hugged her gently from behind and whispered, "Qianqian, let's wait for Daddy to come back together."

Shi Qingqian closed her eyes and leaned in Xu Huaian's arms.

……

The next day, Shi Qingqian got up early and prepared to go to the guesthouse to visit her grandfather.

However, when she arrived at the guesthouse, she was told shocking news - her grandfather suddenly fell ill in the middle of the night and is now receiving treatment in the military hospital.

Shi Qingqian's heart sank suddenly. She hurriedly asked about her grandfather's condition. The guard told her that her grandfather's condition was somewhat serious, but fortunately he was sent to the hospital in time and his condition has stabilized now.

Hearing this, Shi Qingqian breathed a sigh of relief, but the worry in her heart was still hard to calm down.

She rushed to the hospital immediately, extremely anxious all the way.

When I arrived at my grandfather's ward, I saw Zhao Min sitting by the bed with a frown on his face, obviously worried.

"Uncle, how is grandpa?" Shi Qingqian asked anxiously.

Zhao Min looked up and saw Shi Qingqian. A hint of relief flashed across his eyes, but he quickly regained his serious expression. "Qianqian, although godfather's condition has stabilized, he still needs further observation and treatment. The doctor said that he is old and his physical functions have declined. This illness is also due to overwork and stress."

"But I think it's because Godfather finally found you, and the tension that had been building between him and me finally relaxed, which is why he suddenly fell ill."

After hearing this, Shi Qingqian felt even more guilty.

She walked to the bedside, held her grandfather's hand, and said softly, "Grandpa, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I made you worry."

Although Shi Dawei was seriously ill, he was still conscious.

He opened his eyes slightly and saw Shi Qingqian. A gentle light flashed in his eyes: "Child, it's not your fault. It's Grandpa who didn't take good care of himself."

Shi Qingqian's eyes moistened. She held back her tears and said to her grandfather, "Grandpa, you must take good care of yourself. I will always be by your side."

Zhao Min also walked forward and patted Shi Qingqian on the shoulder: "Qianqian, don't blame yourself too much. The most important thing for us now is that godfather recovers as soon as possible. I will contact the best doctor to treat godfather. You must also believe that he will get better."

Shi Qingqian nodded, she knew that now was not the time to be sad.

Seeing that Shi Dawei's mouth was a little chapped, Shi Qingqian suddenly had an idea and decided to try the spiritual spring water.

The last time she drank the spiritual spring water, she felt much more relaxed. Maybe it can also nourish her body.

"Grandpa, you must be thirsty. I'll go get some water," Shi Qingqian picked up the thermos.

When she went to get hot water, she quietly added the spiritual spring water into it, but she didn't add too much, so her spiritual spring water was not clean and transparent.

If you put too much, it will turn yellow when you pour it out and you will definitely be suspected.

Shi Qingqian returned to the ward with the water mixed with spiritual spring water, gently helped Grandpa up, let him lean against the head of the bed, then handed the cup to Grandpa's mouth and said gently: "Grandpa, drink some water."

After taking a few sips of water, Shi Dawei nodded gently and said, "Child, this water feels a little different. It feels very comfortable to drink."

Shi Qingqian's heart tightened, and she said nervously, "Maybe it's the fresh water that was just collected, so it's fresher."

Zhao Min didn't notice anything unusual, but said with concern: "Godfather, if you feel better, drink more. You need to replenish water now."

After a while, Shi Qingqian found that her grandfather's complexion seemed to be better than before. She was secretly surprised and thought that the spiritual spring water might really have worked.

In the next few days, Shi Qingqian would secretly add a little spiritual spring water to the water her grandfather drank every day.

Shi Dawei's condition gradually improved, and the doctors were a little surprised. According to normal recovery speed, it would not be so fast.

Shi Dawei himself also felt that his body was getting stronger and stronger. He smiled and said to Shi Qingqian, "Qianqian, Grandpa feels that he is almost well now. It is all thanks to you taking care of him."

Shi Qingqian smiled and said, "Grandpa, your recovery is the most important thing."

It turns out that the granddaughter is the grandfather’s sweet little cotton-padded jacket.

At this time, Zhao Min walked in with some documents in his hand: "Godfather, these are some documents that need your review, but you are not fully recovered yet, it is not too late to review them after you recover."

Shi Dawei waved his hand and said, "Show it to me. I'm almost well now. If there's something serious, I can't delay it."

Zhao Min smiled helplessly and handed the document to Shi Dawei.

Shi Dawei looked at the document for a while and his expression became serious.

Shi Qingqian asked worriedly, "Grandpa, is there something important?"

Shi Dawei glanced at her reluctantly: "It's okay."
