As soon as Shen Qi finished speaking, Elder Lin finally had an expression other than indifference.
He looked at Shen Qi meaningfully.
Shen Qi was no longer the Shen Qi of before.
"Grandfather is hiding here not because this place is quiet enough, but because this place can let grandfather quietly reminisce about the past, right?" Shen Qi smiled and said, "Although memories are important, at the moment, it is even more crucial. That's because we don't even know how much longer we'll have to wait. "
Elder Lin didn't say anything.
Ella seemed to understand Shen Qi's intentions. The reason Elder Lin was willing to stay here was actually to give way to pride.
In the past, he was a hero that could shake the world. However, after he retired, everything went wrong and his life suffered a series of setbacks. This caused him to feel a sense of disappointment.
Later on, he lived here, and the so-called leaders, on the surface, were actually just trying to embellish their own achievements.
It was not because they respected his past contributions and admired his charisma.
That was why Elder Lin became more and more aloof, ignoring everyone and staying in a small room to live by himself from memories.
What an old man needed was not care, but respect.
On the other hand, those in charge of taking care of him found it difficult to show him respect.
After all, he was an old man.
Ella also followed and said, "Yes, Uncle. Although the environment is good here, the medical conditions are relatively worse. You can still recover. "
Old Lin waved his hands and still refused. However, his eyes softened a lot.
He opened his mouth and said, "I understand what you mean. Girl, you're good. You know how to respect the old. But I'm really old, and it's time to see my old woman. My loved ones have already left, there is no meaning for me to be here alone. "If you're old, then you're old. No matter how good the treatment is, it won't hold anything back. Don't force yourself to ask for it."
It was rare for Elder Lin to say something so long, so he was slightly out of breath after finishing his sentence.
Shen Qi immediately passed the cup over.
Elder Lin's body really couldn't take it anymore. No wonder Ella said that she was afraid that if she delayed it for a while longer, she wouldn't be able to see him again.
Elder Lin couldn't even drink that much.
The reason why he still looked so good was because he was holding on!
Seeing the old man change, Shen Qi felt really sad.
Old Lin rested for a long time before he finally said, "Alright, you've all seen my actual situation. I don't want to go anywhere. If it really comes to that final moment, I will bury the mountain here for a long time. "There's nothing bad about it here. Burying it here can be considered guarding this area."
Shen Qi put down her cup and turned to look at Ella.
Ella nodded.
The old man was very stubborn, not leaving the slightest leeway.
Seeing that Elder Lin was really tired, Shen Qi and Ella could only leave.
After leaving Elder Lin's room, Shen Qi, supported by Ella, slowly descended the steps and walked into the courtyard of the nursing home. Looking at the seniors in the courtyard, she could not help but say with emotion, "People really become old eventually.
Ella was after all, fifty years old, so her mental state was naturally different from Shen Qi's. Even if her current appearance was still as beautiful as a young girl, her attitude wasn't as pure as a young girl.
"Since he insists, let's not force him." Ella said, "I can understand his feelings. If it were me, I would probably make the same choice. "
"Aunty." Shen Qi turned her head to look at Ella. "Then, if Grandpa Lin has any other wishes, we will help you accomplish it."
Ella nodded. "Okay."
Just as he was speaking, the dean came over with an envelope in his hand. "Please wait a moment. This is what Elder Lin told me to pass on to you. "
Shen Qi and Ella looked at each other and took the letter from the Principal.
The dean apologized, "I'm sorry, Elder Lin has such a temper. He said that after you left, you would not come back, and even if you came back, he would not see you! I'm really sorry. Please take care of me. "
Shen Qi shook her head slightly, indicating that she did not mind.
Ella opened the envelope, which contained several yellowed photographs.
From the looks of it, he should be around forty to fifty years old.
The picture showed a three or four year old child, smiling brilliantly.
Ella and Shen Qi looked at each other, both of them looking at the Principal in confusion.
The Headmaster waved his hand and said, "I don't know either. Even if Elder Lin were to pass this envelope to you, without saying anything, I wouldn't dare to ask. "
Shen Qi kept the photo and said: "Thank you, we understand."
After leaving the nursing home, everyone else was waiting outside the main entrance.
Seeing Ella and Shen Qi coming out, they all went up to welcome them.
Shen Qi shook her head and Ella explained, "He still doesn't want to leave here. But he gave me an envelope with some old photographs in it. I don't know what they mean. "
Shen Lu reached out his hand: "Aunt, let me see."
Ella handed the envelope to Shen Lu, who took a look at it and passed it to Chong Ming. "Can you find out who it is?"
Chong Ming looked at the photo, then gave it to He Yi Ning.
He Yi Ning frowned, and said: "For such a long time, finding a picture is indeed difficult. However, it wasn't as if there was no way to investigate. Why don't we do it this way? I'll do it domestically, abroad, you'll be responsible for investigating Chong Ming. "
Chong Ming nodded: "Okay."
"Let's go back first." Brother Mo held the child and said to everyone: "Since this is the will of the old man, let's not force it."
The others nodded in agreement.
Xiaochun came over at this time and whispered a few words into He Yi Ning's ears.
Hearing that, He Yi Ning laughed and said: "Let them be."
Xiaochun nodded and quietly left.
Shen Qi looked at He Yi Ning doubtfully.
He Yi Ning explained to Shen Qi and the others: "Xiaochun reported about Fourth Brother and Shi Yi Jin. It's been pretty lively over there lately. The Mei Family was not reconciled with this, nor was the young miss of the Mei Family. He was always looking for opportunities to provoke them, but that position was too low, Fourth Brother and Shi Yi Jin did not care at all. So, we don't have to worry about that. "
Shen Qi also laughed, "That's right, let the Mei Family stir up some trouble. "There won't be any flowers anyways."
"Let's go, we'll rest in the city." Ella said, "Xiao Qi has a big belly. If he stands for a long time, he'll be very tired."
Right after Ella's words, He Yi Ning quickly supported his wife and walked out.
Not long after they left, Elder Lin Xu, who was in his room, finally opened the curtain that he had not opened for a long time, and muttered to the sunlight outside: "This is all I can help you with. It all depended on the will of heaven! I don't have much time left. If I were to say that I still have an unfulfilled wish before I die, this wish of mine would probably be yours. Whether they can find you will depend on the will of heaven! "
