I Have a Date with a Thousand-year-old Female Corpse

However, the old man still wore a faint smile as he looked at Yan Zisu and said, "Zisu, since you call me Grandpa, can I call you ’little one’? In my hometown, that’s how we refer to our little granddaughters."

Yan Zisu nodded.

The old man continued, "The reason I’m giving you this bracelet isn’t because of that rascal Mu Yun, but because I feel a natural affinity with you. Today happens to be the anniversary of the first time I met your grandmother. She was as shy as you are, though she wasn’t as tall."

"Grandpa, I really can’t accept such a precious bracelet."

"Let me finish," the old man slightly raised his head, and his face, surrounded by wrinkles, revealed a smile that irresistibly warmed both you and Yan Zisu’s hearts, "Your grandma was ten years younger than me, and she was a university student. The first time we met, I braved my nerves and gave her this bracelet. She flat-out refused to accept it, so I threatened to smash it if she didn’t. In the end, she had no choice but to take it. Hohoho."

"I’m not going to live much longer, and keeping this treasure by my side has always been a source of worry. Giving it to you feels like I’m giving it to someone who resembles my old partner. Little one, think of it as something your grandma left for you. Good things are meant to be passed down." At this moment, the setting sun shone through the window, casting a faint golden glow over the elderly man’s entire body, "You’re still in your senior year; you can’t wear this jade object yet. Keep it safe for me, and when you feel like wearing it, go ahead, alright?"

With that, the old man slowly stood up, appearing unusually tall. He walked gently towards Yan Zisu and placed the jade bracelet lightly in her hand. Seeing Yan Zisu no longer refusing, he smiled.

The old man turned to you and asked, "Little Yunyun, you guys are in your senior year now. You should be home studying hard over the weekend, so why are you out working?"

Upon hearing this, you looked at Yan Zisu and said, "Actually, I’d like to know the answer to that question too, but Zisu won’t tell me, so what can I do? The nursing home has fewer distractions, so she can focus more on studying, which is much better than working in a small restaurant or delivering food."

Yan Zisu heard this but didn’t respond immediately; she appeared a bit hesitant at her spot.
