Chapter 134: Trip On A Whim
"Grandma, hello, my name is Wen Jin, and I am Ruanruan's girlfriend."
Grandma sized Wen Jin up for a few seconds, with a kind smile on her face, "Aren't you the girl who came to our yard last time?"
"It's me, and I hope you don't mind my bold visit."
"Not at all, not at all! Seeing such a beautiful and talented young lady like you, I am overjoyed. How could I possibly mind?"
Ruan Jinghong was shy, but her Grandma was bright and outgoing. She held Wen Jin's hand and a smile appeared on her face.
"You truly are a good girl. No wonder my granddaughter has been praising you for quite some time."
"Really? What has she been saying about me?"
Wen Jin held her grandmother by the hand, her beautiful eyes were full of radiance, she usually hears her girlfriend's compliments on her when she's wearing the mask and it often tends to be exaggerated. But if the close relatives and elders tell it in person, the meaning is different.
"Grandma!"
At the first moment of being saved, Ruan Jinghong nervously checked her jacket pocket, and luckily, the ring was still there.
Before she had time to ask Wen Jin why she suddenly appeared here, she saw that she and her Grandma were already talking and laughing.
Her own little thoughts were almost "betrayed" by her grandma, so she hurriedly changed the subject.
"You must be hungry after shopping for so long, why don't we go eat something first?"
Grandma also realized that there are people coming and going there, and it really doesn't seem like a place where one can chat, so she smiled and said to Wen Jin.
"Nannan, it's rare for you to come here once. Today, let this old lady be the host. Try the local delicacies of Y City."
The three of them arrived at a local restaurant in Y City. On a weekday, the place was quiet and peaceful. Following the guidance of the waiter, they were led to a private room on the second floor.
Before, Ruan Jinghong was worried that Grandma wouldn't understand Wen Jin, so she made a lot of preparations for her. She repeatedly reminded herself in her heart: when they meet, I must be more proactive, liven up the atmosphere, and leave a good impression on both of them.
But now she found that it seemed that there was no need to liven up the atmosphere.
After a few dishes, Grandma and Wen Jin chatted like a raging fire.
Ruan Jinghong was only responsible for giving one ear.
From their conversation, she learned that during the filming of "Breaking Heaven" Wen Jin had secretly visited Shoukang Nursing Home under the pretext of caring for the elderly. She had given many elderly residents there skincare products as gifts and had also sponsored the replacement of a batch of medical and entertainment equipment for the nursing home.
No wonder when she came to the nursing home this time, she felt that the place looked a little different from last year.
Ruan Jinghong has an exquisite mind, so naturally she wouldn't really think that Wen Jin came here to do so much, it was just a coincidence of showing kindness.
Grandma is her closest relative, and she is always worried that her filial piety is not enough. However, Wen Jin had silently assumed the responsibilities for her that should have been borne by herself at such an early age.
Ruan Jinghong looked at Wen Jin's graceful profile, her eyes were filled with water, and thousands of emotions welled up in her heart.
While chatting with her Grandma, Wen Jin did not forget to pay attention to Ruan Jinghong's movements. Seeing Ruan Jinghong stop her chopsticks, she hurriedly picked up her favorite sweet and sour pork with the serving chopsticks.
"Eat more, this is not on the set, you don't have to think about body management all the time."
Her expression was very natural, no different from when the two of them get along in daily life.
Perhaps for Wen Jin, these things should have been done, and they were nothing more than normal.
After the meal, the two walked with Grandma for a while and sent her back to the nursing home.
Wen Jin came in a hurry this time, and her luggage was still in the car. She didn't even bother to find a temporary place to stay and naturally sought her girlfriend.
Ruan Jinghong was delighted with this development and was about to take her girlfriend to her temporary bedroom to ease their longing for each other. However, her Grandma stopped her.
"Nannan, go back and rest first, Grandma still has something to say to Wen yatou."
Ruan Jinghong: ?
You've talked through the whole meal.
But according to her understanding of her own Grandma, she doesn't have to worry about her girlfriend getting a hard time.
She said half helplessly and half coquettishly: "Then Grandma, you can't speak ill of me, and don't hog Teacher Wen for too long."
"Look at how clingy you are."
Grandma laughed and scolded as she playfully poked Ruan Jinghong's forehead before sending her off.
At this moment, she and Wen Jin were the only two left in the room. She took out a photo album from the suitcase of the cabinet. The cover looked old, but it was well maintained.
"Nannan's appearance when she was a child is saved in it, do you want to take a look?"
Wen Jin was more than happy. She sat beside the old woman, cleverly giving her a shoulder massage while keeping her eyes fixed on the photo album.
The photos in the album probably started when Ruan Jinghong was six years old. At that time, she was small and thin, wearing small clothes made of coarse cloth, but her eyes were piercing, like a little monkey. Still a little monkey.
When she was a child, she was not as quiet and well-behaved as she is now. Nine out of ten photos were of non-stop action, with some chasing chickens, climbing over walls, and playing with dirt. It wasn't until she entered junior high school that she slightly changed her style.
Grandma pointed to these photos and told interesting stories about Ruan Jinghong's childhood one by one.
"Don't look at her being so well-behaved now, her skin was also real leather when she was a child. She used to chase the old hen raised in the house all day long. One day when I came home, I saw a big bump on her head that was pecked by a chicken. I was so distressed at the time that I slaughtered the chicken as an extra meal that day. "
"Every little girl likes to play with dolls. She likes to play with mud. Every time she goes home wrapped in mud. She is sensible though. She washes the dirty clothes by herself, but she is too young to wash them clean. In the end, I would have to redo them."
"Seems like she became calm and well-behaved all of a sudden when she turned eleven. Back then, I was actually quite busy and couldn't always be with her. But she was indeed mischievous, and yet, responsible too." Wen Jin listened quietly to all the stories about Ruan Jinghong, as memories of her childhood and adolescence seemed to flood back with each photo and the old woman's voice.
It can be seen that this old woman really loves her granddaughter very much, and it can also be seen that she has accepted her sincerely, that's why she is willing to entrust her only precious granddaughter to her.
Wen Jin was both gratified and moved. When she watched the old woman flip through the entire photo album, she still felt a little unsatisfied.
"Ruanruan was so cute when she was young, Grandma, do you still have photos of her before she was six years old?"
The old woman sighed and shook her head regretfully, "Before she was six years old, she was with her parents, so there are no photos."
In a simple sentence, the amount of information is a bit large.
Wen Jin thought of what she had learned about Ruan Jinghong's life experience: her parents were not in harmony, divorced and reorganized the family, and they were unwilling to have custody of their daughter.
It is somewhat in line with the current situation.
While feeling sorry for her baby, she was grateful to the old woman who raised her girlfriend, and changed the subject in time.
"These photos are really well taken, Grandma, I want to take a photo with my mobile phone as a souvenir, can I?"
"Of course, it's a pity that there is only this one left, otherwise it should have been given to you."
"I'll just take a copy, thank you grandma."
Wen Jin knew how difficult it was to keep such a photo album under the conditions at the time. The old woman regards Ruan Jinghong as the most cherished relative, although she likes it in her heart, she won't take it away from others.
She took out her mobile phone, adjusted the resolution, and carefully took and stored each photo. The result was not much different from the original version.
It took Wen Jin nearly an hour to take this photo album. When she returned to Ruan Jinghong's room, she saw her little girlfriend leaning on the bedside and playing with her mobile phone, tears in her eyes.
Ruan Jinghong saw Wen Jin coming in, got out of bed and pulled on her slippers to welcome Wen Jin.
"Teacher Wen, you've been there for a long time."
She hasn't seen her girlfriend for a few days, and in this confined space where no one else is around, she has undoubtedly revealed her clinginess.
Wen Jin glanced at the little thing's bare and slick legs under the short nightdress, worried that she would catch a cold, so she wrapped her hands around her slender waist, and hugged her upright on the bed.
Ruan Jinghong sat on the edge of the bed and stared at her calves, her cat eyes blinking non-stop, full of curiosity.
"Teacher Wen, what did Grandma told you just now, did she praise me?"
Wen Jin deliberately teased her, "Mm, she praised you. She praised you for being a little mischievous ghost, getting pecked by hens, and loving being covered in mud."
After Ruan Jinghong heard this, her pretty face wrinkled bitterly, and she tried to defend herself.
"You don't believe that, do you? I've been well-behaved and clever since I was little. I'm nothing like what she described as mischievous."
Wen Jin saw the little thing's "listen to my side" look on her face, and felt that she was so cute, so she stretched out her hand and pulled her onto her lap to hug her.
"Oh, is Ruanruan really so well-behaved since she was a child? I don't believe it. I have to test it myself."
Ruan Jinghong: ?
How can you test that?
In the next second, the kitten was stimulated making her shudder, her face blushing, and she was speechless for a while.
This person really never misses an opportunity.
There was a thick quilt on Ruan Jinghong's back, and the body temperature of a mature woman, under the two-phase pressure, she easily broke out in sweat.
With slender fingers clasping the quilt, the pleasant voice overflowed from her mouth, and all of them turned into humming and moaning.
It took Ruan Jinghong a lot of willpower to regain some sanity.
"Teacher Wen, this is... a nursing home, um~"
"Don't worry, I'll be careful."
Ruan Jinghong woke up the next day with trembling calves.
The marks on her body had been cleaned up in the middle of the night, and even the sheets on the bed were changed in time, so it wasn't obvious that there had been any absurdity.
It turns out that what Wen Jin said "will be careful" refers to cleaning up the battlefield, and she really worked hard.
The two stayed there with their Grandma for another day, but they were driven away together by the Grandma on the grounds of "disturbing the lives of the elderly".
Ruan Jinghong and Wen Jin got on the returning plane.
For the past two days, Ruan Jinghong has to accompany her grandma during the day, and has to be tossed about by her girlfriend at night. Now that she is sitting in the plane, her mind is still dizzy, so Wen Jin takes care of everything.
With a trusted girlfriend by her side, she can sleep soundly even if she is on an unfamiliar plane.
It wasn't until she arrived at the destination that she followed Wen Jin out of the airport in a detour, only to belatedly realize that something was wrong.
"Teacher Wen, this doesn't seem to be the airport of H City, is it? Are we going to transfer now?"
"Not a layover; we are going on…our honeymoon now."
Wen Jin held Ruan Jinghong's soft little hand and faced the autumn wind, looking forward to the bright future with a happy face.
