Hai Xiaotang invited Tao Yi to dine at the restaurant.
She held a bottle of wine and asked him, “Brother Tao, would you like a drink?”
“No, I still need to drive.”
“Alright, then eat plenty. I won’t be joining you as I have class in the afternoon.” Hai Xiaotang said with a smile.
Tao Yi nodded at her, “Go ahead, when do you get off school today? I’ll come to pick you up.”
Hai Xiaotang looked confused, “Pick me up for what?”
Tao Yi smiled faintly, “I want to buy a gift for a little girl who is about your age, but I don’t know what girls like. Can you help me pick something when the time comes?”
Hai Xiaotang readily agreed, “Sure, no problem. I will finish class around four thirty. You can wait for me at the main gate of C University.”
“Okay.”
“Then, I have to go.” Hai Xiaotang was in a hurry, and she left immediately.
Tao Yi watched her back, a faint smile on his face throughout.
As soon as Hai Xiaotang was gone, Tao Yi quickly finished his meal and went to chat with Hai Zhiyuan.
The old man chatted with him about many topics, all related to the military.
The old man was very supportive and happy about Tao Yi being transferred to work in C City.
“Since your grandfather has passed away, there’s no one at home. It’s good to be here, I can take care of you as a grandfather, plus, the opportunities for development in C city are broader.”
Tao Yi smiled faintly, “Coming here is only temporary. I will only stay for a year or two. After it’s finished, it depends on whether I can apply to stay here.”
“With such an outstanding talent like you, I can help say a word or two, there should be no problem staying here.” The old man didn’t mind pulling some strings for him, because Tao Yi is indeed very outstanding.
Every military medal he had was earned with his life.
Tao Yi laughed happily, “Thank you, grandpa.”
“Thank me for what. As I said, I will be your grandfather from now on, you can think of me as your second grandfather!”
Tao Yi laughed, “Grandpa, I indeed want to regard you as my real grandfather, but I’m afraid you wouldn’t agree.”
The old man didn’t understand his hidden meaning and said happily, “How could I not agree! To have a grandson like you, I would be laughing even in my dreams! If you don’t mind, think of me as your real grandpa from now on.”
Tao Yi laughed again, “I don’t mind. But grandpa, I haven’t finished speaking. I want to become a part of your family, genuinely. However, I want to do so by becoming your grandson-in-law.”
“Cough, cough…” The old man, who was drinking tea, was suddenly choked.
He looked at Tao Yi in surprise, “What did you say?”
Today is a single week’s Friday.
Hai Xiaotang had an afternoon class, which she shared with several other classes.
In the massive auditorium, she sat at the front, on the side, listening attentively to the teacher’s lecture.
Suddenly, her phone received a text message from Tao Yi.
[Xiaotang, I’m here. Are you about to finish class?]
Hai Xiaotang laughed, she quickly texted him back, [Brother Tao, you came too early, I still have about ten minutes before class ends, you’ll have to wait.]
Tao Yi texted her back immediately, [No problem, I’ll look around your school. Which classroom are you in, I’ll come to find you.]
[It’s hard to find, I’ll go to the school gate to find you after I finish class.]
[Okay.]
Hai Xiaotang put away her phone and began to look forward to the end of the class.
Finally, the bell rang signalling the end of class.
