Chapter 559: The Burden of the Body
"What happened after that?" Chu Ning was a little curious about Yan Shen’s Great-grandma’s story.
"Later on, I grew up. I must have been ten years old, and Great-grandma aged a few more years. With the sands of time, even if Great-Great-grandma was so tough, she was still worn down. I studied in my hometown and lived in school since primary school. Great-grandma would come to see me on weekends. Even though it was only a few kilometers away, it was very tiring for her." Yan Shen described his past memories in great detail.
"I wanted to send her back by car, but Great-grandma refused." Yan Shen smiled feebly. The past seemed to appear before his eyes.
"She told me that either I help her walk back or she’d walk back by herself. Thus, every weekend after that, a young man could be seen walking along the street paved with bluestone slabs, carefully accompanying an old lady with white hair, their figures getting longer and longer."
"So you used to be quite good. Did you change after coming to M City?" Chu Ning felt that when she first met Yan Shen, he was always expressionless. Now, he was much better.
"Not really." Yan Shen shook his head.
"You got older after that, right?" Chu Ning asked.
"Yes. Later, I saw Great-grandma cry." When Yan Shen said this, the expression on his face suddenly turned calmed once more.
He sniffed and took a big gulp of coke.
"When Great-grandma was 94 years old, the house she lived in started leaking. She climbed up the ladder to fix it herself and didn’t trouble anyone. However, she fell from the top and couldn’t move at all. It was all thanks to the neighbors who found out in time."
Chu Ning looked at Yan Shen, whose eyes were slightly red. He was obviously a little sad.
