”Oh, is there such a thing? Is he a friend of your childhood? or does it look very similar to your childhood friend? ” The old woman explained.

Cao Jia shook her head. ”I am sure that you are not talking about these two possibilities. The feeling he gives me is unclear. It is a call from his heart, a resonance from Bloody Night.”

”Is there such a strange thing? Do you have a picture of him? Show it to me. ” Old man asked in confusion.

Hearing this, Cao Jia stood up from the old woman's embrace and left the living room for the bedroom. After a while, she came out with a photo. She walked to the old man's side and handed it to him with both hands. ”Well, here's his picture.”

The old man took the photo his granddaughter handed him. The girl in the photo was tall and straight, with a perfect face and a suffocating smile, her beauty comparable to his granddaughter's, perhaps even superior to her own. If his granddaughter was beautiful enough to topple a kingdom, then the girl in the picture was very beautiful, and the boy in the picture was about the same age as the girl, though young, but very handsome, and a man of beauty. If one looked carefully, they would see the faint sadness and sadness behind his smile. Looking at the two people in the photo, the old man's heart trembled. His brows deeply furrowed, and the hand holding the photo also tightened. However, all of this happened in a very short period of time. The old man quickly suppressed the excitement in his heart. Even Cao Jia, who was standing at the side, did not notice anything unusual about her grandfather. When his mood had calmed down, the old man let out a long sigh and slowly said, ”I didn't expect people to be this beautiful. It seems they are a couple, no wonder you know them.”

”Yeah, when I first saw them, I was shocked by their beauty as well. However, the more I looked, the more I felt that I must have known this boy for many years. It even gave me a very intimate feeling, as if they were family.”

”Nonsense.” When the old man heard Cao Jia's last sentence, he could not help but scold angrily. Clearly, he was excited by Cao Jia's words.

Cao Jia looked at her grandfather who was always amiable and amiable. How could he suddenly be so angry? She was puzzled. Did she say something wrong that made her grandfather angry? Or did his grandfather get angry because he knew about this boy? For a moment, she really didn't understand what was going on.

Seeing her granddaughter being angrily rebuked, the old woman who did not speak stopped talking and glared at her husband who had accompanied her for so many years. She said unhappily, ”Old man, what are you doing? Why are you bullying my girl? She's about to cry.” After the old woman scolded him, she gently held her granddaughter's flawless hands and said kindly, ”Ignore your old foggy grandfather. I think he must have had a stroke just now. If there's anything, grandmother will decide it for you.”

Cursing himself for being too fierce towards his child, he felt extremely remorseful. He was just about to apologize when he saw his granddaughter hesitating to say something, so he helplessly said, ”Girl, grandpa was wrong just now. Actually, grandpa was doing this for your own good. I was trying to ask who in the world didn't want his child to be good, but grandpa's way of expressing himself was wrong. Please forgive me grandpa.”

Cao Jia continued, ”Grandfather, I'm not blaming you. I know you and grandmother both love me, and I'm not angry with you.”

Only then did Grandpa start laughing.

Seeing this, Cao Jia tentatively asked, ”Grandfather, do you know about Zhang Song? the boy in the picture? ”

The old man wanted to cover it up, but Cao Jia saw through it, so she said, ”Is his name Zhang Song? I didn't know his name until today, and besides, I was half buried and he was just a kid, so how would I know him? ”Child, you're thinking too much.”

Hearing her grandfather's explanation, Cao Jia thought about it and felt that it made sense. Grandfather's age difference with Zhang Song's was so great, how could her grandfather know Zhang Song? It seemed that she had misunderstood her grandfather. Thus, he sincerely apologized, ”Grandfather, I'm sorry. I misunderstood you just now.”

After accepting Cao Jia's apology, the old man secretly hinted to his wife that it was almost New Year so they quickly went home to reunite with their parents and arranged for their driver to send off their only beloved daughter.

After Cao Jia left, the old lady asked, ”Old man, did you find something to tell me?”

The old man let out a long sigh and said, ”Ah, yes.”

The old woman had never seen her wife sigh like this, so she guessed, ”It has to do with the child in the photo?”

The old man nodded. ”You're the only one who knows me. Not bad, it's exactly this person.”

The old woman was even more confused, her face full of curiosity as she asked, ”Then who is he? Since you know about it, why didn't you tell the little girl just now? ”
