We agreed it was just a hug, why did you actually do it?

Grandpa's words stunned everyone at the table.

Su Weile didn't know when she had started to burst into tears.

Su Jun and Su Hui also had tears in their eyes, but their expressions were unusually heavy.

Even Tie Tou stopped talking in surprise, then exclaimed loudly, "Lele, when did you learn to smoke?"

Su Jun hesitated for a moment, then finally spoke up, "Dad, do you know that Su Weile... he... he's really gone too far this time."

Grandpa took another sip of wine and said casually, "Yesterday at noon, Lele fell asleep in my and his grandma's room and mumbled some things in his sleep."

In the past few days, his grandmother and I have actually developed some feelings for each other. After all, feelings are something that can't be hidden.

You must have known all along, Xiaojun? Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a rift between you and Lele since you came back this time. You and your son have never been like this before.

Grandma wiped away her tears, her voice choked with emotion, and said, "Lele, have you... have you thought this through? You have such a long life ahead of you. Choosing this path, Grandma isn't afraid of anything else, but I'm afraid... I'm afraid you'll regret it one day!"

Su Weile's eyes were red, but her voice was so firm, "Grandpa and Grandma, I don't regret it. I really... really love him. I want to be with him for the rest of my life."

With a loud "bang," the Soviet soldier smashed the wine glass on the ground.

"A lifetime? What do two men mean by a lifetime? You're not getting married? You don't want children? You're just going to spend your whole life with one man?"

Tie Tou was completely stunned, and the fish and fish bones in his mouth fell out together.

Su Weile said in a calm voice, "Why not? Love! Forever! Who says these things have to be linked to gender? If it were that simple, how could there be so many unhappy couples in the world?"

Just as the two were about to confront each other, Grandpa coughed softly.

"Xiaojun, I know you might resent me for saying this, after all, I'm an outsider, and Xiaole is the heir to your Su family line."

"Dad, don't say that! You know perfectly well that I consider you and Mom as my own parents."

"I know, I know you are filial."

But I know that your Su family only has Lele as their only son. But can you force someone to agree to something like this?

Are you going to force him to be with a girl he doesn't like? That would ruin two young people's lives.

Su Jun wiped his face in frustration: "Dad, I didn't mean to force him. I just felt that our Lele has never even been in a relationship. He might have been led astray because he has no experience at all. I want to help him get back on the right track."

"But the more you do this, the more biased he becomes. One day he might really regret it and won't even dare to admit it." Grandpa poured himself another glass of wine.

Su Weile noticed with heartache that her grandfather's hands were trembling.

Su Weile knew that Tang Shaowu didn't like him adopting such a subservient attitude towards his family. Tang Shaowu had asked him so sternly, "What did you do wrong that you deserve to kneel down like this?"

In Tang Shaowu's heart, their love was beautiful, not a mistake.

But Su Weile still got up, walked to his maternal grandparents, and knelt down.

Tie Tou was so frightened that he exclaimed "Holy crap!" and then quickly got up and knelt down as well.

Su Weile glanced at him. "Why are you kneeling? I don't love you. Go eat some fish."

Grandma immediately got up and pulled him up, saying, "You don't need to kneel, you don't have to do that, good boy."

Su Weile pursed her lips for a moment, then said:

"Grandpa and Grandma, thank you. I know you can't understand my decision and you must be sad. I didn't want this either. I'm most afraid of making you sad."

But... but I really can't help it, I just love him, and he... he can't live without me... without me, he... really can't do it.

Grandpa and Grandma, I'm very clear-headed. I know what I'm doing. Please believe in us; we will be very happy.

Grandpa sighed and said, "Get up, Xiao Le. Grandma and I don't really have a say in this matter. I hope your father won't blame me."

I just want to tell you that your grandma and I only want you to be happy and not torture yourself like you have these days.

In life, everything is trivial except for life and death.

If you truly care about your grandparents, then you should live a good life and love yourself.

Just like before, still so happy and carefree.

Seeing how you've been these past few days has truly broken our hearts.

People will get sick if they keep doing this, you know?

We are so grateful that you have good health and such an optimistic personality. We've always believed that it's God's compensation for us losing our daughter so early.

Grandpa couldn't continue speaking either. He covered his eyes with one hand, but still used his other hand to beckon Su Weile to get up and not kneel.

Su Jun and Su Hui both turned their heads to the side and silently wiped away their tears.

----------------------------------

Su Weile felt his heart finally lighten. He had indeed intentionally made no attempt to hide his contact with Tang Shaowu in front of his grandparents.

He wanted the two elderly people to be mentally prepared beforehand, so they wouldn't be overwhelmed by the sudden realization.

But he hadn't expected his grandparents to be so sensitive. He also hadn't expected them to agree so easily.

Su Weile knew that, out of his sight, his grandparents must have gone through a very difficult period of adjustment.

They just love themselves too much and can't bear to see themselves suffer like this.

After Su Jun and Su Hui finished their meal, they went to the old couple's room and chatted for a very long time.

Even as night deepened, Su Weile waited on the stone bench outside, texting messages as she waited.

"Da Wuwu, what are you doing? I'm a little happy today."

"What's making you so happy?"

"I won't tell you now, I'll tell you during the video call later. Did you take your medicine? What did you have for dinner tonight?"

"I'm a little sleepy today, so I might go to bed early. If I don't receive your video call, I'll call you back tomorrow morning."

Su Weile frowned.

"Do you have a headache? Haven't you been sleeping well? Why are you sleepy today?"

Da Wuwu: "Weren't you always worried that I wasn't sleeping well? Why are you unhappy that I'm going to bed early?"

Su Weile felt a little uncomfortable. He felt that Tang Shaowu was acting strangely today.

Su Weile made a video call right away. Anyway, everyone knew about their affair, so he didn't care anymore.

However, the call was disconnected after a few rings.

Su Weile, with her fiery temper, suddenly flared up.

"Tang Shaowu, answer the video call!" a message was sent.

Then I called again. A little while later, the call was disconnected.

"Damn it, Tang Shaowu is a bastard."

Su Weile stood up angrily and spun around twice. Undeterred, she made a phone call.

Fortunately, the call was answered quickly. "Tang Shaowu, what do you mean?"

Tang Shaowu's voice was calm, with a faint smile, "Why are you in such a hurry? Going over and over again, don't you give others a chance to prepare?"

"What have you prepared? What are you preparing for this video call? I've seen what you look like before," Su Weile said aggressively.

Tang Shaowu laughed out loud, "It's been so long, do you still remember every single thing I look like?"

Su Weile said somewhat dejectedly, "What do you mean? Have you forgotten? Have you forgotten what I look like? Tang Shaowu, you said you would wait for me, have you forgotten that too?"

I could hear the sadness in his voice. "No, I won't forget. I won't forget what I promised. Don't be angry."

Su Weile, unwilling to give up, took a deep breath and said...

"Hang up the phone and send me a video right now, Tang Shaowu. Don't push me to the point of falling out with you."
