663: The Baby's Efforts

The Baby's Efforts

However, that did not seem to be the case. After all, the estrangement between the old man and her father had not changed much even after ten years.2

The most her father seemed willing to do was to bring her to see the old man more often, unlike before, when it seemed like they would never meet again.

Su Jiu replied, "I know. I'll go over to see him this weekend and have dinner with him."

The driver smiled. "Alright, I'll tell the Old Master about this when I get back to the Su family mansion. He'll definitely be overjoyed. Sigh! He's old now. I just hope that with his children and grandchildren by his side, the house will be much livelier. Otherwise, his later years will be too miserable."

Su Jiu understood what he meant. The driver just wanted her to visit the Old Master more often. She smiled and said, "I know, I will go back to visit Grandpa. Don't worry."

As Su Jiu spoke, she turned her head to look at the scenery outside. Since school had just ended, many people were walking on the streets. A lot of students in school uniforms were chatting and laughing in groups. The atmosphere felt especially youthful.

It was good to be young.

As Su Jiu sighed, she caught something out of the corner of her eye. Thinking that she must have seen wrongly, she turned back to look.

The driver quickly reminded her, "Miss, don't poke your head out!"

Su Jiu knew that she should not, but she seemed to have seen a familiar figure in the crowd!

That figure was tall and handsome. He stood out among so many people that she recognized him at a glance…

The little villain!

Su Jiu really wondered if her eyes were playing tricks on her or if she was hallucinating because she really missed him. She quickly rubbed her eyes and when she looked at the crowd again, that figure had already disappeared.

Could it be that… I was really seeing things?

After the little villain had gone to university two years ago, they had initially been in contact and would often chat online.

However, Rong Si had gradually pulled back, growing distant. When she asked him what was wrong or if anything had happened, he only said that he was busy.

Su Jiu had thought about it and felt that it made sense. Someone as smart as Rong Si would definitely be the favorite of those professors and teachers. They might even bring him to do research projects or something. He had to be busy. Furthermore, she was also studying hard to catch up with him, and to get into the top university like him. Over time, there were simply fewer opportunities to talk to him.

Slowly, they went from contacting each other every day to once every three days, once a week, then every two weeks, a month…

In the end, they would only contact each other once in a very long time.

Besides, he never came back, except on her birthday last year. That day, he had visited and given her a birthday present, a teddy bear doll he made himself.

He hadn't even returned for the new year.

She called him and asked him why. Rong Si answered that he was too busy studying and was still working part-time. This, she could understand.

That was right. With his personality, the little villain would definitely think of ways to earn money in his free time. He was an extremely hardworking child.

Su Jiu took out her phone and dialed Rong Si's number from her contacts.

When Rong Si heard his phone ring, he had already reached the entrance of Su Jiu's school.

The students came out one after another. He stood behind a banyan tree by the road and wanted to see Su Jiu among them, but he was worried that she would find him.

He had not told her about his return yet. More accurately, he did not have the courage to tell her.
