After Su Li walked to the old lady, she stood stupidly beside the bed, looking at the person sitting on the bed.

He was as obedient as a student who was called to the teacher's office, waiting quietly for the teacher to speak.

The old lady struggled to shift her gaze from the TV to Su Li, then smiled and asked her to sit down: "Why are you standing there like an idiot? Come on, sit down and watch with me."

Seeing the old lady's kind tone, Su Li finally breathed a sigh of relief, swallowed her nervousness, pulled a chair from behind her and sat down.

"Child, let me ask you something. In the TV show, this kid and that kid bit each other's arms to form a love pact, promising to never leave each other and be of one mind. They even got married in front of their ancestors and their parents. Why can't they let go of the hatred in their hearts and choose to end it with the murderer of their father before marrying the girl? Since they have already made a promise with someone, why do they regret it at this moment and go their own way?"

Su Li looked towards the TV.

Su Li knew about the drama and explained with a smile, "The hero carries a family feud behind him. His relatives were framed by his uncle, and overnight, they all left him. His uncle now serves as his father. When his family was wiped out, his only surviving aunt was forced to become crazy and stupid to protect the hero. At the moment when the aunt took her last breath, she reminded the hero that the family feud has not been avenged. He must not forget the hatred he carries and must not let his enemies go unpunished. The hero's love for the heroine is true, but the countless souls of his family members who have died in his wake are also true. If the hero chooses the love of his children over the family hatred, then what is the point of his aunt holding on until the last moment?"

The old lady nodded. "People are always like this. There's no absolute choice. They're all helpless. No matter which protagonist you look at the story from, you'll discover what they're carrying behind them. Perhaps everyone watching this play is from the male protagonist's perspective, thinking that the family hatred he carries is too tragic. But who has ever stood from the female protagonist's perspective? From the moment she appeared, no one was optimistic about her, whether it was the elders in her family or her biological parents, especially her mother... The female protagonist's character is tragic from beginning to end. Even when she and the male protagonist talk about their children's love, they are very sweet, but because of this, she is called the male protagonist's bride, not herself. She already has a good skill, but no one points it out or discovers it. By the time they discover it, it's too late."

Su Li licked her lips and lowered her eyes. "Although this drama ends with a happy ending, it's not as perfect as a happy ending. This happy ending prevents everyone from realizing that the most pitiful person in the whole drama is the heroine. No one understands what the heroine wants in her heart. They all impose their own ideas on her. If we say that the heroine has grown up, it's better to say that she has been forced to grow up. She has experienced a lot of people and things that she shouldn't have to endure at her age. I believe that if it were someone else, they would also become numb. The heroine's final forgiveness, to be more precise, should be called forget it, it doesn't matter. Who would care about her thoughts?"

"Life is like this. Just like you came here this time to learn more about Parkinson's disease, and I was chosen to be the person you observe. Are you also curious about why I have been able to survive so tenaciously until now?"

Su Li was a little surprised. Sister Shuang probably didn't tell anyone about this.

"Don't overthink it. No one told me this; I just guessed it." Grandma smiled kindly. "Don't be nervous, and don't be afraid that I'll reject your request. I've been through a lot, and I have nothing to hide. A long time ago, an elderly man came to me and wanted to ask me something, but I refused because I thought this condition was ridiculous. I'm a teacher and a writer, but my hands are always out of control. I couldn't bear to have the career I love completely ruined by this condition."

Old gentleman?

Su Li pursed her lips.

This old gentleman is most likely Mr. Lu.

"After all these years, I'm no longer sensitive to this disease. Accepting you here is a confirmation that I've let it go."

"The one who just left is."

"It's my... friend." Su Li chuckled: "My friend found a volunteer for me."

"Friends?" A hint of suspicion flashed across the old lady's eyes, and then she put on a funny smile: "Okay, okay, friends are good. It's so hard to make true friends nowadays."

Su Li smiled awkwardly: "Yes."

"You're going to stay here for a month, right?"

"Yes."

"Then you can call me Grandma Yan from now on." Grandma Yan smiled and continued, "Since you want to stay here with me for a month, let's make a small agreement."

"it is good."

Grandma Yan took out a piece of white paper and a pen from the drawer and handed them to Su Li.

In the moment it was handed over, Su Li clearly saw the other party's hand twitching and shaking uncontrollably.

"You can see that I can't write many beautiful characters now." Grandma Yan smiled and said, "I used to have good handwriting and even won awards. I'll find it and show it to you someday."

Su Li was deeply touched and nodded.

"Next I will state some conditions, and you write them down on a piece of paper."

"it is good."

Grandma Yan paused the TV and began to think. "First of all, during your one-month volunteer period here, I don't need you to come super early in the morning. After all, I used to be a teacher, and I understand why children want to sleep in a little longer in the morning. So just sleep until you wake up naturally. If you come too early, I might not wake up either."

As she spoke, Grandma Yan laughed uncontrollably. "Secondly, my children are all abroad, and I have almost no relatives or friends here. I've been alone in the hospital for many years. Honestly, it's been really lonely. I'm so glad you came. I'm also old, and I don't know how many years I have left to live, so thank you very much for choosing me."

Su Li's eyes reddened, and she forced a smile to appease him, "How could that be? Grandma Yan will live a hundred years."

Grandma Yan smiled happily, and smiled gently from the corner of her eyes: "With your words, I can live a few more years."

"Continue with the second one. I've been in this hospital for many years, and all I eat are meals prepared by the nurses hired by my son. I want to eat something different, and you don't need to cook every meal. You can just choose one of the three meals."

"If grandma doesn't mind, I will." Su Li smiled guiltily.

Grandma Yan was slightly surprised: "That shouldn't be worse than what my son makes, right? My son's soup is always black. Every Chinese New Year, when they come home, they make some nourishing and health-preserving soup every day, and the soup is pitch black."

Su Li shook her head: "That won't happen."
