Chapter 2007 - 110: Sounding East and West
Jin Bo, "Why wait for a special day? When two people are together, shouldn’t every day be like Valentine’s Day?"
Yan Xiaoxi, "Really?"
Jin Bo, steering with one hand, "Don’t believe it?"
Yan Xiaoxi softly, "I don’t believe it."
"Then just wait and see."
"Are you home yet?"
"Not yet, just halfway there."
Hearing that they hadn’t arrived yet, Yan Xiaoxi furrowed her brows slightly, "Don’t talk on the phone while driving, be safe."
Jin Bo’s voice became more magnetic, "Don’t worry, I’ll be careful."
"Call me when you arrive."
"Okay."
Yan Xiaoxi hung up the phone, turned her head, and looked at the moon outside the window, feeling a special emotion.
Older men can be so heartwarming.
Thinking of the nine-year age difference between them, it didn’t seem too big. It was alright.
...
Jin Bo returned to his place, took a shower, lay down on the bed, looked at the time, and sent a text, "Good night."
Yan Xiaoxi was still awake and replied, "Good night."

Weekend
Wen Nuan and Qin Shaojin came to visit Shu Ran.
The Huo Family’s Patriarch came along too. He originally wanted to bring Jin Bo, but Jin Bo had a business trip.
So the Patriarch came with Uncle Guan.
The four of them traveled together, arriving at the military district, and first went to the special subjects group.
Seeing Shu Ran and Yan Xiaoxi, Wen Nuan waved early, "Mom."
Upon hearing Wen Nuan’s voice, Shu Ran turned around and saw them.
Yan Xiaoxi also looked over, and upon seeing the Huo Family’s Patriarch, her face flushed instantly.
Could he have come just to see her?
The Patriarch saw Xiaoxi looking over, gently waved his hand, and smiled kindly.
Yan Xiaoxi, "..."
She smiled again, feeling a complex mix of emotions.
The Patriarch and Wen Nuan walked towards them.
Uncle Guan went over to greet the instructor.
The instructor looked at Shu Ran and Yan Xiaoxi, "Alright, since someone is here to visit you, you are excused from the next training session."
Shu Ran, "Okay, thank you, Coach."
Yan Xiaoxi, "Thank you, Coach."
Both of them walked over together.
The Patriarch kept his eyes on Yan Xiaoxi throughout, making her cheeks flush red.
Uncle Guan gently coughed and said softly, "Patriarch, Miss Xiaoxi is getting shy."
The Patriarch gave a loud cough, his expression returning to normal, "Xiaoxi, I came to see Adong’s father. Adong has some things for you that Uncle Guan and I brought over."
Yan Xiaoxi tried to smile naturally and with pride, "Thank you, Grandpa Huo."
The Patriarch, "Just call me Grandpa from now on. There’s no need for Grandpa Huo, it sounds so formal."
Yan Xiaoxi looked at the Patriarch. Does that mean she passed the Patriarch’s approval?
She boldly called out "Grandpa."
The Patriarch was full of joy, "Xiaoxi, is it tough here?"
Yan Xiaoxi, "It’s alright."
The Patriarch looked at Yan Xiaoxi, noticing that the little girl had gotten tanned, "Nobody’s bullying you, right?"
Yan Xiaoxi shook her head, "No."
The Patriarch nodded in satisfaction, "That’s good."
Yan Xiaoxi didn’t know what to say, so she stood there, just smiling.
As a journalist, she was usually articulate, yet at this moment, she suddenly didn’t know what to say.
The Patriarch didn’t know what to say either, but he thought Yan Xiaoxi was truly beautiful, elegant, and appropriate.
Uncle Guan stood there, recalling the first time he met Miss Yan Xiaoxi, back then—
Thank goodness nothing unpleasant happened afterward, or things wouldn’t be so harmonious now.
The Patriarch turned to look at Uncle Guan, "Go, get the things Adong brought from the car and take them to Xiaoxi’s dormitory."
