Chapter 947 - Yuan Zhous Gift (2/2)

That was the charm the granny had obtained from praying at Mount Qingcheng.

When the granny saw Yuan Zhou wearing the charm, a smile immediately covered her face. But she was still unwilling to accept the pennant.

“Boss Yuan, you can’t give this to me. This is a glory you have won yourself,” said the granny solemnly.

“Yes, this is a glory. Therefore, I hope you can hold it for me for a year. Next year when I win another award, you can return it to me. With this, I can extend the good luck until next year,” said Yuan Zhou seriously.

When Yuan Zhou kept repeating about honor, next year, and continuation of good luck, the granny started hesitating.

After all, from what Yuan Zhou told her, his victory had been a close one. It was definitely better if he could maintain his good luck until next year.

When Yuan Zhou saw the granny in contemplation, he heaved a sigh of relief. After all, he was already out of words to say and was merely blabbering random things he could think of. If this continued, he wouldn’t know what to say anymore.

That’s right. From the moment Yuan Zhou received the good luck charm, he had been planning to do this.

Yuan Zhou was aware of how hard it was to climb Mount Qingcheng. Even someone like him would pant when climbing it, not to mention the granny who wasn’t in as good a shape anymore. Yet, she was willing to go pray for something as vague as good luck for his sake.

She did that even though they were unrelated and merely because her life had improved after she started setting up a stall in front of his restaurant.

Thus, Yuan Zhou believed that the glory should belong to the granny.

“This award will still be given next year?” asked the granny in hesitation.

“Yes,” Yuan Zhou nodded. “The event will be held every year.”

“Then I’ll keep it for you. The organizers won’t have any issues, right?” the granny asked.

“Of course not. This pennant is merely a symbolic item. I still have the certificate for it, and the certificate alone is sufficient,” said Yuan Zhou. This time, he wasn’t lying.

After thinking in silence for a bit, the granny finally nodded.

“Fine, I’ll keep it for you. Next year, I will go pray for another good luck charm,” said the granny.

“It’s fine. See, I still have this good luck charm on me. If you keep praying, Buddha will think we are greedy. This is enough,” said Yuan Zhou.

“True,” the granny nodded pensively.

“Definitely. So you have to take care of this pennant. The good luck will extend until next year even without your prayers. Just you watch as I win another pennant,” said Yuan Zhou.

“Ok, I’ll listen to you,” said the granny.

“You can call me Little Yuan, granny,” Yuan Zhou suddenly said.

“Oh, sure. Little Yuan,” said the granny, a smile blooming across her face, the wrinkles on her face rolling out.

“Um,” Yuan Zhou nodded.

After a while, Yuan Zhou spoke, “I’ll be leaving. Dinnertime is almost here.”

“Sure. That can’t be delayed. Be careful on your way back,” said the granny the moment she heard about dinnertime.

“Um, see you,” Yuan Zhou nodded and turned.

“Walk slowly, Little Yuan,” said the granny behind him.

“Goodbye,” Yuan Zhou waved his hand and started rushing away. After all, dinnertime was really approaching soon.

This was a place where the two alleys crossed. Therefore, Yuan Zhou did not need to retake the same route he came from. He only needed to take a turn at the alley in front as the distance wasn’t that great.

When turning, from the corner of his eye, Yuan Zhou could see the granny carefully hugging the case while looking at him.

Due to his sharp senses, Yuan Zhou could even sense the joy and warmth in the granny’s eyes, the same joy and warmth when an elderly person looked at the young of their own family…
