"It's the afternoon, when you're playing."

Xu Xizhou's mind was in a mess, he wiped his hair fiercely, found his mobile phone, and called Xu Mei.

"Isn't Grandpa's condition stable some time ago? How could it suddenly—"

"He had to go to the yard to water orchids a few days ago, saying it was your favorite, but it just rained and the yard was a little slippery. He accidentally fell and hit his head... When he was sent to the hospital, He's still saying your name."

Xu Xizhou listened to her words silently, feeling that his heart was like a crumpled piece of paper.

"When is the funeral?"

"In the afternoon of the day after tomorrow, at the city funeral home, I knew you had a game, so I postponed the time by a day."

"Okay, I'll go."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Xizhou looked at the runner-up trophy in his hand, feeling a little dazed for a while. When he left the Lu family before, he promised his grandfather and grandmother that he would definitely bring the trophy back to see them, but before he came home, his grandfather had already left. .

He remembered how his grandparents loved him so much when he was a child. Grandpa was getting old, and he let himself ride on his head and play with him with Transformers.

"I've bought the air ticket for you. Tomorrow's sprint is over, and we will fly directly to Wancheng."

Zhuang Jingchun came over and lightly pressed his shoulder.

"Condolences."

Xu Xizhou lowered his head and did not speak. After a long while, he raised his head, and a layer of shallow tears floated in his black eyes.

"Can you hug me?"

Zhuang Jingchun bent down, opened her arms, and hugged him tightly.

He held him so tightly, as if he was trying to rub Xu Xizhou into his bone marrow.

Xu Xizhou leaned on his shoulder, like a tired traveler who had finally found a place to perch, and closed his eyes gently and reassuringly.

At the end of the sprint, Xu Xizhou and Zhuang Jingchun returned to China together.

Considering his embarrassment, Zhuang Jingchun did not accompany Xu Xizhou to the funeral home, but waited for him in the garden.

Seeing Xu Xizhou appearing at the entrance of the mourning hall, Xu Mei's eyes lit up and she immediately greeted him.

Xu Xizhou was wearing a black suit with black cloth on the back of his hands, and his figure was somewhat reduced. Xu Mei held his hand distressedly and looked him up and down.

"Did you not eat well abroad? Why did you lose so much weight?"

Xu Xizhou smiled helplessly, "Racing drivers need to maintain their weight. My figure is normal."

He briefly chatted with Xu Mei, and then went to pay homage to his grandfather.

Lu Feng was receiving the guests who came to offer condolences. When he turned his head, he saw Xu Xizhou kneeling in front of the tablet.

The guests also noticed his line of sight, followed them, and immediately showed an admiring smile.

"Isn't this the little one from your family? He is really promising. I heard that he won the championship again, and many media at home and abroad have reported it."

Naturally, Lu Feng also saw those reports. At this moment, listening to the compliments from the guests, his expression was somewhat complicated.

"I heard before... He seems to have moved out of your house? Lao Lu, aren't you stupid! Don't leave such an excellent child alone?"

Lu Feng smiled awkwardly.

"There is no such thing. He is playing abroad and can't go home often."

Looking at Xu Xizhou who was politely greeting the guests, Lu Feng really regretted it.

These days, before his death, his father kept talking in his ear, asking him to take Xu Xizhou home, but Xu Mei didn't even wipe away her tears, blaming him for not being so ruthless at the beginning.

He still insisted on his lips, but in his heart he had long wanted to compromise.

Compared with Xu Xizhou, Lu Rong is indeed well-behaved and polite, but the child's personality is too introverted. No matter how good he is, it is only in his studies. He still has a long way to go before taking over the company.

But Xu Xizhou is different. This kid has put away his original arrogance, and now his personality is much calmer, and he has made a big splash on the international circuit, becoming a well-known racing driver in China.

It has to be said that these have greatly satisfied his self-esteem.

If you take this opportunity to bring Xu Xizhou back, it's not impossible...

As soon as Xu Xizhou left the mourning hall, he received a text message from Shu Yue.

The last time we met in London, before he left, he left his phone number for her. These days, Shu Yue would send text messages from time to time to greet him about his life, reminding him to remember to add clothes to keep warm. Although he is concerned, it is controlled within a certain range and will not make him feel uncomfortable.

- Xiaozhou, I heard that your adoptive mother's father passed away, I'm sorry. I'm also in Wancheng these days. If you don't go back to Lu's house, do you want to come and live with your mother?

——No, I promised my adoptive mother that I will live in Lu's house these days and accompany my grandmother.

——Okay, then I will not force it. If you are uncomfortable, you must not hold it in your heart, you must vent it, okay?

Ok, I know.

Xu Xizhou knew that Shu Yue had good intentions. But at this juncture, he could only temporarily leave the unhappiness he had with Lu Feng for a while, and calm down his grandmother.

That night, he stayed at Lu's house. During this period, Lu Rong also came to comfort him, and congratulated him for winning the runner-up in the Baku race.

The next morning, Xu Xizhou went downstairs for breakfast, and was surprised to find that Lu Feng did not go to the company, but sat at the dining table and read the newspaper.

Xu Xizhou guessed that he should not be very happy to see him, so he took two pieces of toast and put them on a plate. He was about to go back to the room to eat, but was stopped by Lu Feng.

Lu Feng closed the newspaper in his hand and coughed.

"Just eat here."

Xu Xizhou wasn't sure what he meant. He hurriedly finished his breakfast and was about to go upstairs when Lu Feng stopped him again.

"Come with me to the study."

Looking at Xu Mei's encouraging and admiring eyes, Xu Xizhou seemed to understand something.

Xu Xizhou and Lu Feng entered the study. Lu Feng stood in front of the window, lit a cigarette, but didn't smoke. With his back to Xu Xizhou, he seemed to be considering the words. After a while, he spoke.
