"Jing Yucheng, how did you manage to go for forty-nine days without eating or drinking?"

"Jing Yucheng, you haven't been home for so long. How did you explain things to Grandpa Jing?"

"And since you haven't been to the company for so long, won't the company sideline you?"

"Jing Yucheng, if you lose your job, I think I can support you. I'm making quite a bit of money now!"

"Jing Yucheng, just who is that old man here?"

"How can it be so amazing?!"

……

Ling Yue asked a series of questions in one breath, and Jing Yucheng listened silently without much reaction. Seeing that she was about to continue asking questions, he turned around, poured her a glass of warm water, and handed it to her.

Ling Yue naturally took the water glass and drank it all in one go. After talking so much, she was indeed a little thirsty.

Jing Yucheng took the water glass and wiped the water stains from the corner of Ling Yue's lips.

Which one does the baby want to hear first?

Ling Yue didn't immediately understand. Did this mean he could answer all her questions?

Thinking about it carefully, it really stumped her...

No, they've only just woken up. It's not very considerate to ask them so many questions so directly.

"It's not necessary to answer right now, Jing Yucheng. Don't you have more important things to do?"

"Why don't you go take care of your own things first, and we can talk again when you have time?"

Jing Yucheng smiled gently; this girl was still so adorable.

"Oh, is that so? Why don't you come home with me to see Grandpa?"

Ling Yue thought this was a great idea!

She hadn't visited Grandpa Jing in a long time.

So the two of them went back to the Jing family's old house together, considering that Jing Yucheng was just recovering from a serious illness.

Ling Yue drove, chattering away the whole way, telling Jing Yucheng about what happened in the Ghost World during his slumber, including the romance between Red Hair and Seventeen.

Jing Yucheng listened quietly, occasionally responding to her.

"Xiaoyue, are we dating now?"

Ling Yue slammed on the brakes, drawing a curse from the car behind her. She stuck out her tongue sheepishly before continuing to drive forward.

But I could clearly feel my heart beating faster.

"Yes, I guess so..."

Jing Yucheng laughed after hearing this, then let out a long sigh of relief. It felt so good to be acknowledged by her.

When the car arrived at the Jing residence, Ling Yue noticed that several black cars were parked in front of the gate.

She looked at Jing Yucheng, somewhat confused, and asked, "What's going on?"

Why does it feel like the mafia is coming to my door? Ling Yue kept thinking about how many people she could flirt with with her Bagua Tai Chi.

Jing Yucheng remained calm as always, naturally taking Ling Yue's small hand and walking into the house.

Before even reaching the lobby, bursts of hearty laughter could be heard.

It was born to Jingyang.

You can tell from his voice that the old man is full of energy, and it's a good thing that he can laugh so happily.

After Jing Yucheng led Ling Yue into the hall, he saw that the room was almost full of people. At a glance, there were about twenty or thirty people in matching black suits.

Jingyang Sheng spotted the two of them at a glance. The old man, who had just been chatting and laughing, suddenly stood up from the main seat.

"Ah Cheng is back!"

"Xiaoyue is back too!"

"Why didn't you tell us in advance so that your family could pick you up?"

Ling Yue understood immediately. It seemed that Grandpa Jing didn't know about Jing Yucheng's sleep. She was really curious about what reason he had given the old man to believe him after being away for so long.

"these are?"

Jingyang Sheng then introduced them, "Come, come, Acheng, Xiaoyue, this is my former platoon leader, Qin Jianguo, known as Master Qin, quickly call him Grandpa Qin."

Jing Yucheng politely addressed him as Grandpa Qin, and Ling Yue echoed his greeting.

After exchanging greetings, Ling Yue noticed that this person was clearly much younger than Grandpa Jing. Why was he being referred to as the old platoon leader?

He was leaning on a cane, which was very strange. There was a large totem on the cane, but it was impossible to tell what it was. It felt eerie, but you couldn't see any ghost attached to it.

The top of the cane is a fox head, exquisitely carved. If you look closely, you can even see the fox smiling at you.

Ling Yue quickly shook her head, rubbed her eyes, and upon closer inspection, realized it was just an ordinary fox head.

Jing Yucheng tightened his grip on Ling Yue's hand.

"Let's not just sit here, everyone. Let's move to the living room. The chef is already preparing the food. Let's eat and chat."

"Yang Sheng is still so enthusiastic."

As Qin Jianguo spoke, he patted Jing Yangsheng on the shoulder, which was clearly like an older brother talking to a younger brother.

Guided by Jing Yangsheng, the group slowly walked towards the reception room of the villa.

At this moment, Ling Yue noticed that there was a man following behind Qin Jianguo. His clothes were obviously more elegant than theirs, and he was holding a white handkerchief to cover his mouth and nose.

Perhaps noticing Ling Yue's gaze, he also looked at her. Their eyes met, and the man took off his white handkerchief, revealing a face that was almost perfect.

Like a mannequin straight out of a comic book, with a hint of frailty, to use a popular term these days, it would probably be yandere?

Then, he smiled at Ling Yue, as if they had known each other before.

When Jing Yucheng looked at the man expressionlessly, he immediately reverted to his previous state, covering his mouth and nose with the white handkerchief again, and followed Qin Jianguo out.

Ling Yue felt a strange sense of familiarity with this person; perhaps Jing Yucheng knew him too?

"Jing Yucheng, who is that person?"

Do you know him?

It seemed that Jing Yucheng already knew who she was asking about without Ling Yue needing to describe who she was referring to.

"do not know."

For some reason, these three words don't sound very gentle.

Since she didn't know him, Ling Yue didn't care much. She just followed Jing Yucheng and would quietly eat her meal later.

The group took their seats, and as the chef brought out dish after dish, Jingyang Sheng introduced each one.

As he spoke, he reminisced about their life in the army. It was clear that Jingyang Sheng knew Qin Jianguo very well, as most of the dishes on the table were Qin Jianguo's favorites.

"So many years have passed, it's rare that Yang Sheng still remembers what I like to eat."

The two raised their glasses and began to drink.

Ling Yue listened to their conversation quietly the whole time, her mouth never stopping, while Jing Yucheng kept putting food on her plate.

During this time, every time Ling Yue unconsciously looked up, she could feel the man sitting opposite her staring at her. His gaze was like that of a wild beast staring at its prey, making her very uncomfortable. He was such a strange person.

Moreover, Qin Jianguo never introduced this man to anyone.

Good heavens, Ling Yue didn't even dare to look up now. Just as her heart was pounding, she felt a warm sensation in her palm. It turned out that Jing Yucheng had taken her hand under the table and leaned his body towards her.

Speaking softly, in a voice only the two of them could hear, she said, "Don't be afraid, just enjoy your meal."

Jing Yucheng always gave her a strong sense of security, which improved Ling Yue's mood considerably. So she picked up a dish for him and gave him a sweet smile.

Just then, the yandere man opposite them stood up and said to everyone, "Excuse me, I'll have to go for a moment."

He then disappeared from everyone's sight without looking at anyone again.

Only then did Qin Jianguo speak with a hint of apology: "I'm really sorry, my son is used to being carefree, I hope you can all forgive him."

Jingyang Sheng hurriedly replied with a smile, "Not at all, I love Xiao Huai's carefree nature the most; it's rare to find someone so pure."

After hearing this, Ling Yue couldn't help but mentally complain about Jing Yangsheng. When did this old man become so obsequious?

This is truly the first time I've ever seen this.

Upon hearing this, Qin Jianguo actually laughed, "There's nothing I can do about it. I had a son late in life, and he's my only son!"

Oh wow, it seems he really is a yandere young master.

It's good that she's gone; Ling Yue can finally eat comfortably.

During the visit, Qin Jianguo asked Jing Yucheng about his recent situation, and his attitude was even more gentle than when he spoke to Jing Yangsheng. Jing Yucheng answered all his questions politely.

The atmosphere gradually became much more harmonious.

Just then, a voice suddenly cried out, "Help! Someone, come quick!"

"Call an ambulance immediately! Someone has committed suicide!"
