He then went to Grandma He's bedside and briefly explained what had just happened.

No wonder Aze saw the news on his phone early in the morning and got up to go out.

Grandma He's expression was complicated.

The young girl paid for her own medical expenses, but her family went bankrupt...

Grandma He stretched out her kind hand and beckoned to Bai Yisha: "Child, come here to Grandma."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yisha glanced at the sleeping Wu Hu, then looked at He Zhizhou, and turned to walk towards Grandma He.

He Zhizhou pulled over a chair and let her sit down next to Grandma He.

Grandma He looked at Bai Yisha with a kind and gentle expression, tears welling in her eyes: "Good child..."

As she spoke, she reached out and took Bai Yisha's hand, placing it in the palm of one of her own hands, and then covered the back of Bai Yisha's hand with her other hand, patting it gently.

"Grandma, you two chat first. I was in such a rush that I didn't even have breakfast. I think it's almost noon now, so I'll go buy something to eat."

Seeing this, He Zhizhou glanced at the time and remembered that the two bowls of noodles he had just cooked at home had not been touched. He guessed that Bai Yisha must be starving.

It's almost noon now, let's go buy some food first.

The hospital cafeteria is not far from the wards.

"Okay, Aze, be careful." Grandma He turned to look at her eldest grandson with loving eyes.

Her appearance reminded Bai Yisha of her grandmother.

But she paused and asked, "Grandma He, what did you just call him?"

Grandma He really looks like her grandmother, even though they're not blood relatives.

Because of this relationship, Bai Yisha was almost completely unguarded with Grandma He and was also more affectionate towards her.

“Aze is his nickname. When he was little, he finally clicked his tongue and started to smack his lips, so I gave him the nickname Aze.”

Aze?

It sounds strangely nice.

She wanted to call him that too.

"Oh, I see. Grandma, you call me Sasha." Bai Yisha smiled slyly, tilted her head, and noticed that there was another grandmother lying in the next bed, but she had a caregiver by her side.

A thought began to stir in her mind.

He Zhizhou works quite hard. He takes care of his grandmother in the morning, then works to earn money to pay off debts, and comes back to take care of his grandmother in the evening.

He'll probably find it hard to break through his defenses and spend the money she gave him...

"Alright, Sasha." Grandma He stared at Bai Yisha for a long time, her eyes slightly red. "Forgive me for not being able to get down and kowtow to you..."

Bai Yisha: "......"

"Grandma, please don't! Aze has already bowed to me..."

Grandma He was taken aback, her expression slightly confused: "You...you've already paid your respects?"

Bai Yisha didn't notice anything amiss and continued, "Yes, I said I'm very rich. Even without the Bai family, I'm still very rich. You really don't need to do this."

It's one thing for He Zhizhou to be like this, but he also wants Grandma He to kowtow to him?

Is she tired of living?

Grandma He clearly didn't believe it.

"The Bai family has gone bankrupt, and you and your nephew have nowhere to stay. Why don't you stay with us for now..."

Knowing that Grandma He didn't believe her, Bai Yisha didn't argue. She sighed and changed the subject: "Okay, Grandma, can you tell me Aze's story?"

Bai Yisha was becoming increasingly curious about He Zhizhou.

When talking about her eldest grandson, Grandma He became much more lively and talked on and on.

The conversation reveals that Grandma He is a very loving old lady with a warm and approachable personality. Once she starts talking, she can't stop.

There's still no door open.

Bai Yisha also chatted with Grandma He about herself, letting Grandma He know a little about her. During the conversation, she secretly showed Grandma He part of her balance, which reassured Grandma He that she had money to eat.

As they talked, the topic turned to He Zhizhou's background, and her eyes visibly dimmed.

“Aze is a pitiful child, and I am also useless, having given birth to a son who is worse than a dog.”

"Grandma, don't say that..."

When He Zhizhou was one year old, his father had an affair. His mother was heartbroken and ran away to a foreign country, where she later married.

His father remarried his mistress, had two children with her, and broke off all ties with Grandma He.

He Zhizhou was raised by Grandma He since he was a child.

"I endured the hard times until Aze graduated, and just when things were finally getting better, I fell ill." As she said this, Grandma He's face was already covered in tears.

Bai Yisha couldn't bear it, so she took a tissue from the side and wiped Grandma He's tears.

Although hemp rope tends to break at its thinnest points, it might not necessarily break if it encounters someone as resilient as her.

Grandma He wiped away her tears, chuckled softly, and choked back a sob: "I've made a fool of myself in front of you, how embarrassing."

"What's so shameful about that? Humans have emotions, it's human nature. If you don't have joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, you're not human, you're a machine."

For example, the system.

Bai Yisha silently added a sentence in her heart.

[Host, I think I hear you chirping "I'm not human."]

Bai Yisha: [Then you're definitely not human. Do you dare say you're human? Or are you a thing? Or not a thing?]

【...】

The host seems to have gotten a little smarter?

Grandma He chuckled at Bai Yisha's words and couldn't help but reach out and pat Bai Yisha's head.

This child is so cute.

She's good-looking, just a bit too thin.

"Aze is really amazing. I heard he's trained in Sanda (Chinese kickboxing) and has a wide range of life skills. He's outstanding."

Bai Yisha squinted, feeling the warmth of Grandma He's hand.

Upon hearing this, Grandma He felt another pang of heartache in her eyes.

She said slowly, "When Aze was in school, he was bullied, but he didn't tell me. He went to a Sanda gym on his own and became a punching bag. Later, he was taken in as a disciple by the gym owner and practiced Sanda for five years. After that, no one dared to bully him anymore. What a silly kid."

"He has all sorts of skills, but it's because he has to take care of me, this old woman."

Bai Yisha was taken aback, not expecting there to be such a story behind it.

"Click."

The door to the ward opened, and He Zhizhou carried two large transparent bags containing several lunch boxes.

"What are you talking about?"

After he came in, he placed the lunchbox on the small table, skillfully pulled out the table where Grandma He was eating, and neatly arranged the food. Then he went to check on Wu Hu and reached out to feel his temperature.

When Grandma He saw He Zhizhou return, she quickly wiped her eyes and smiled, "Aze is back. He's chatting with Shasha. Grandma likes Shasha very much."

“I love Grandma too!” Bai Yisha smiled sweetly: “I used to have a grandma too. Whenever my stepmother hit me, she was the one who protected me. Grandma He, you are just like my grandma.”

"Wow, Aze, you bought so much delicious food!"

He Zhizhou paused in his hand that was touching Wu Hu's face, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

Aze?

He glanced at Bai Yisha, whose eyes looked like those of a starving ghost reincarnated.

They must be starving.

For some reason, he slightly curled the corners of his mouth.
