"Grandpa, I bought the things you wanted."
Not long after their conversation, while watching Qiu Xi diligently work, Ding Yibai's voice came from the doorway.
Shen Yan was stunned upon hearing the voice.
"You're back, so you're back! Why are you shouting!"
Ding Yujing was still fixated on his swapped wine and had been finding fault with his grandson for a while.
Ding Yibai: "..."
Forget it! The old man wasn't young anymore...
"Brother Yibai, long time no see!"
Seeing that the two had finished talking, those who had been smilingly watching the fun greeted the newcomer as soon as he entered.
Ever since they went to Shen Yan's place together, they had become friends and shed their previous awkwardness.
"Why are you guys here without telling me? I'll bring some food from outside for you."
"We don't have food at home! Why would we need you to bring it!"
"All day long, if you have time, go read your literature. So that Old Qin doesn't always nag me!"
"..."
"Grandpa! You're so petty, that's not good!"
"Look at you, you're not young anymore..."
"Why do you still play such dirty tricks!"
Ding Yibai was exhausted!
He had his pride, alright!
It was this old man who couldn't stand it, so he went to Old Qin to badmouth him, saying he was idle all day and needed to be kept busy...
Then his resentful mentor, for some reason, found a pile of work for him. Lately, he had been so busy he couldn't stop, and all he wanted to do was sleep when he got back to his dorm!
Having such a grandfather, he was truly blessed for three lifetimes...
"You mind your own business!"
"I'm your grandfather! I can't I tell you off!"
"..."
"You can... say whatever you want..."
He had already given up.
Only his grandmother could manage this old man!
At worst, he would go and complain to Grandma later!
Let this old man sleep in the small living room for a few more days!
Ding Yujing: You truly are my good grandson!
Ding Yibai: Love-hate relationship~
"Teacher Ding, I'm done. Shall we continue?"
Just then, Qiu Xi had finished writing down what she had been discussing, and the rest were her own questions.
"Coming!"
This little girl is still so cute~
Saying this, Ding Yujing glared at his grandson and then turned to walk towards Qiu Xi's table.
"???"
Am I not the biological one?
"Hahahaha~"
"Brother Yibai, your family status seems a bit low~"
"Yeah, Teacher Ding looks angry!"
"..."
To be embarrassed in front of a few spectators... this feeling was too...
Ding Yibai wanted to say something but stopped. Looking at the junior female students, he finally closed his mouth, which was ready to retort.
"Let's not talk about that old man. We can just chat casually."
"Okay~"
"Brother Yibai, sit down. I think Xi's notebook will take a while."
Song Daiyao gestured towards the notebook in Qiu Xi's hand and beckoned him to sit.
She wanted to chat about gossip for a while longer~
"Mm."
Ding Yibai nodded and leaned back on the nearby sofa.
"Brother Yibai, I heard Teacher Ding say earlier, is graduate school really that busy?"
She hadn't missed what Teacher Ding had been muttering about just now.
Since there was nothing else to talk about, she decided to gossip a bit.
When it came to this, Ding Yibai had plenty to say.
"It is indeed quite busy, with endless experiments, endless data, and constantly reading endless literature..."
"Ah?"
Upon hearing Ding Yibai's words, Song Daiyao was stunned.
Was this going to be her future life?
"That's just one aspect. You can also meet more forward-thinking friends, and perhaps find a very interesting mentor. Every day will be fulfilling."
"Mm..."
For some reason, Song Daiyao had already understood.
It was definitely tiring!
Following the senior's words, it sounded more like a positive and optimistic attitude towards life.
Living so well!
"But you still have time. It's better to live your current life well than to worry about these things."
After speaking, Ding Yibai added a concluding remark.
In his opinion, thinking too much about different stages was not good.
Like him, back in college, his grandfather watched him, and he wouldn't think about these things.
"Mm."
"But Brother Yibai, you're so busy, when will you find a girlfriend?"
"I heard Teacher Ding and Grandma Ge talking, they're planning to urge you!"
"Cough cough!"
"Cough cough cough!"
"..."
Admittedly, the explosiveness of this statement was astonishing!
Song Daiyao's words startled all three who were chatting.
Liang Yunfei was purely scared and covered her mouth, staring fixedly at Song Daiyao.
This girl!
She really dared to say anything!
As for Shen Yan, she was scared, but also faintly curious.
So, she was now not only staring at Song Daiyao but also occasionally glancing at Ding Yibai.
As for Ding Yibai, he was dumbfounded!
Could such words be spoken casually!
His grandfather, his grandmother!
Didn't he have any dignity?
Ding Yibai, who had been single for over twenty years, was at a loss for words.
"Daiyao..."
Liang Yunfei was about to stop the silly girl, lest she blurt out anything else.
However, she was still a step too late...
"Brother Yibai, looking at you like this, are you still a bachelor from the womb?"
After speaking, she stroked her chin and looked him up and down, "That shouldn't be the case..."
"Cough cough cough!"
When it was spoken, Liang Yunfei and Shen Yan hadn't recovered, so they couldn't speak.
On the other hand, Ding Yibai was preparing to disappear.
"Alright!"
"You girl, you're not old, but you think of so many things."
"What, I don't have one, can you conjure one up for me?"
After being repeatedly questioned to the point of speechlessness, Ding Yibai had thrown all caution to the wind.
Everyone knew the situation clearly, and pretending further was meaningless.
So, it was better to be shameless together; happiness was the most important thing.
He didn't believe that such words...
"Yes, I can~"
"???"
"!!!"
What kind of child has such a good friend!
