Chapter 1437: Can't Do Without You

Nan Jiaojiao lay back in a recliner with one hand behind her head, lazily rocking back and forth.

She held her phone high, capturing a half frame of herself, while the scenery behind her was also in view.

“I’m at my own little house, of course I dare to take your call.”

“The persimmon tree next to you is nice,” Bo Yanching’s dark eyes half-lowered, “I stayed in your room during New Year’s, tried it, quite sweet.”

Nan Jiaojiao shrank her neck, thinking about when she ran off with Yeh Hannian during that time, and someone pitifully chased her to her mother’s house and ended up being treated as a guest by her grandfather for over a week, she felt guilty.

She laughed sheepishly, “Right, sweet, wait till the persimmons come again this year, I’ll bring you here.”

Changing the subject, right?

Bo Yanching gritted his teeth, his profile lines distinctly tense, he chuckled lightly through suppressed breath, “Sure.”

“Did you give the clothes I bought for Grandfather to him?”

“Yes, I did.”

Bo Yanching tentatively asked, “How was it, what did Grandfather say?”

“Just like that, Grandfather knew you bought it, his expression changed, even complained your taste is worse than his.”

Bo Yanching’s eyebrows jumped, “Really?”

Nan Jiaojiao took a tea fruit, gently munching on it, hiding the slight curve of her mouth as she noticed he genuinely cared, she slowly explained, “Just kidding, Grandfather wore it, didn’t say it was ugly, but didn’t say he liked it either, yet didn’t take it off until after dinner, later even wore it back to his room.”

Bo Yanching let out a breath, glared at her annoyed, “You’re really cheeky, always teasing me.”

Nan Jiaojiao squinted at him, suddenly leaned closer to the screen, intentionally lowered her voice, “Let me tell you, it won’t be long before Grandfather accepts you, after all, he dotes on me.”

Bo Yanching looked at her gently.

Including the slight pride gradually accumulating on her face, “It’s gotta be me, otherwise you can’t win over Grandfather.”

Who says he can’t.

If he hadn’t won him over, Bo Yanching wouldn’t bear to leave.

The night he went back, Nan Jiaojiao originally wanted to ask, got sidetracked, later didn’t think of it again, he didn’t bring it up either.

She really thought she had a major task, speaking well upon returning, but Bo Yanching had already secured Elder Nan long ago.

He chuckled softly, “Right, you’re amazing, couldn’t do it without you.”

“Right!”

Nan Jiaojiao took a couple bites of tea fruit, then picked up her milk tea to drink, letting out a sigh as she put down the cup.

“Drink less milk tea tonight, what you ate just now isn’t easy to digest, just have a taste.”

“Mind your own business!” Nan Jiaojiao glared, “I’m at my grandfather’s house, you can’t control me!”

A little defiant.

Bo Yanching leisurely reminded, “You’re coming back the day after tomorrow.”

“Oh…” she took another big sip, put down the milk tea, flipped the camera towards the sky, apathetically remarked, “Admire the moon.”

What’s there to admire about the Qingming moon.

After saying it herself, she felt quite silly, changed her tune, “Admire the persimmon tree then.”

Bo Yanching chuckled softly, his laughter rich and mellow.

Nan Jiaojiao’s camera was shaky, she swayed with the recliner, leisurely rocking back and forth.

Bo Yanching went to sit by the window, opened it, and looked at the sky too, counted as looking at the same sky as her.

The call didn’t end, after a while, the camera stopped shaking, slowly lowered.

She must have fallen asleep.

The phone lay flat on her stomach, the camera pointed upwards, the scene showing the branches of the persimmon tree and crabapple blossoms gently swaying in the breeze.

Bo Yanching watched for a while, then ended the call, dialed Uncle Qiu.
