Xu Mengfei's answer made the old man write for a while, but it was only a meal, and he continued to write.

"Do you think your parents, including me, will feel comfortable letting you go to Beijing alone? What kind of emotion do you think should be used to judge the relationship between you and that boy? ”

The old man's tone was very calm, without any reproach. And like him, a high-ranking and powerful figure in the province is also one of the few bigwigs in the province who is willing to talk to his seventeen-year-old granddaughter about her feelings, it can be seen that he is definitely not rigid, conservative, or feudal.

"As the daughter of the Xu family, I know what to do and what not to do. I also know what it means to be reserved, self-disciplined, and honest. I'm seventeen years old. I also know how to protect myself. As for the matter between me and Downing...... Grandpa, I don't know what kind of feelings to judge now. If it's love, but it's too immature and immature, I don't know if this relationship will deteriorate and stand the test as we all grow up, broaden our horizons and mature personalities. But I want to take a gamble. ”

Xu Mengfei's crisp and pleasant voice echoed in the study. Although the words are shallow, although the meaning is simple and clear, it is the hearts of people who shake. An old man's heart and a girl's heart.

The old man's pen slammed again, this time leaving droplets of ink on the rice paper that had quickly smeared. This painting is ruined. But the old man had no intention of stopping, and continued to write.

"What if you lose your bet?"

"I don't regret it, but since I gambled. Of course, there will be winners and losers, and while no one can guarantee that the one who will win in the end will be me, no one can be sure that I will be the loser. ”

The old man didn't open his mouth again, just like he didn't hear Xu Mengfei speak, and he didn't feel her persistence and determination.

Until the font is spread all over the rice paper, and the first word is written. I stopped writing. Put the wolf pen on the cloisonné porcelain pen holder. Take two steps back and look at your freshly completed masterpiece that still exudes the scent of ink.

"See how Grandpa's handwriting is?"

Xu Mengfei came from a family of eunuchs and has been trained in all aspects since he was a child. Calligraphy and painting are naturally among them, although they are not profound, but the minimum vision to distinguish between good and bad is still there. He stepped forward, stopped at the front of the whole work, looked at it carefully for a moment, and said: "Wang Xizhi's grass is characterized by the change of gestures and structure, especially focusing on the continuity of the spirit rather than the formal subordination, that is, the so-called 'shape is broken and connected'. Within a point, the difference is in the slightest. And grandpa, your words are already very similar in this artistic conception. All in all, it's a good picture. ”

"Is there no blemish?"

Xu Mengfei blinked his clear eyes and took a closer look at the whole work again, except for the ink dots that accidentally dripped on, the whole work really has no flaws. "Except for that drop of ink, everything else is really good."

"I'm talking about the drop of ink. Feifei, grandpa told you, a person's life is just like this character, small flaws can be there, but they can't affect the entire layout. Because then the blemish becomes a stain, a stain that cannot be washed off for a lifetime. The difference between men and women is that men make mistakes and have many opportunities to correct them. But women can't do it, one wrong step may affect a whole life. And there is no chance of regret. So, do you still want to gamble? ”

Xu Mengfei only understood what his grandfather meant at this time, biting his lip, and looking at the work in front of him that was scrapped because of a drop of ink.

For a while, I fell into a hesitation. The reality can't help but be unambiguous. After all, she was still young, only seventeen years old, and life had not really begun yet. The door to the future has not really opened to her. It's not that she doesn't believe in Downing, it's not that she doesn't believe in herself. However, many things do not end happily because they believe in each other. Tang Ning is not an ordinary person, he once killed someone in front of him. Following him is equivalent to stepping into his life, and he must have the courage and the mind to be prepared to take on a unimaginable situation.

But is she ready for these aspects? What if you can't stand it and regret it?

For Downing, is it just a simple good feeling, or love? She couldn't figure it out now. When I heard the news that the national security agent brought Tang Ning's life in danger, at that moment, she was worse than dead, and the heart-wrenching pain is still unforgettable. She doesn't want to have that experience anymore, she doesn't have that worry anymore. She was really scared.

The old man looked at his granddaughter's delicate and beautiful face, sighed, and said, "Give you an afternoon to think about it and give grandpa an answer before dinner." Whatever the outcome, grandpa has your back. Children, their own way to grasp their own destiny is also in their own hands, the future of good and bad, all lie in your own decision, when confused, you ask your heart. ”

After the old man finished speaking, he walked out of the study and quietly led the door.

The monkey family, Da Zhuang and Shi gathered here early, and rubbed a lunch meal by the way. The things that the three of them were going to bring had already been packed. Because the monkey is the closest to the station, when you walk at night, you don't need to take a taxi, you just walk there, and it doesn't take a few minutes to arrive.

"Da Zhuang, Brother Shi, do you want to call the squad leader? Let's go first and leave her alone, okay? ”

Shi glanced at him, and said disdainfully: "Is it that you have been patronizing with the Zhang family chick for the past two days?" Honestly, which of the upper and lower positions has been breached? ”

"Get out, Master Monkey is not as dirty as you think, our love is pure." The monkey looked sacred.

"Shit! When kissing the little tender mouth of the chick and rubbing the pair of suckling pigeons on someone's chest, do you dare to say that you are not hard? ”

The monkey's face turned red. hurriedly said: "You don't care if I'm hard or not, get out, you'll be sullen." Too lazy to take care of you. ”

"Cut, blushing and thick-necked, at first glance it is a breeding pig. Hehe, monkey, you and Zhang Xiaoniu must not have done a good job. ”

The monkey was too lazy to take care of this stuffiness, so he turned his head and asked what Da Zhuang meant. "Why don't you give the class leader a call. If it's just like that, don't let one go. I always felt that it was not a problem. ”

"The head of the squad has gone to the provincial capital. Gone the night before. If she wants to leave, she will set off directly from the provincial capital. Da Zhuang stared at the program introducing the US Delta Force on the TV, and said casually.

"I'm dizzy, such important news. How did I not know? ”

"In the past two days, you have been busy, but you can't find anyone, where can I notify you to go?"

"Then we're going to leave like this tonight?"

"If you don't go like this, who else do you want to take with you? Zhang's chick? ”
