Pushing open the door of the ward, Cheng Lao had already woken up, and when he saw Liu Fei, Cheng Lao's eyes, who had been haggard and blank, suddenly brightened, and his spirit also became stronger.

"Xiaofei, here, sit."

"Hmm." Liu Fei nodded, sat on a metal stool that Chen Chen had brought for him, and faced Cheng Lao.

"Show me your work." Cheng Lao glanced at the paper packaging box in Liu Fei's hand.

"Hmm."

Liu Fei opened the box and put the wood carving in Cheng Lao's hands.

"Yes, Xiao Fei is the most talented wood carver I have seen in recent years, and I believe that if you can develop in this area, it is only a matter of time before you surpass Rodin."

Cheng Lao praised it, a pair of withered hands gently stroked on the wood carving of the "eagle spreading its wings", the wood carving of the eagle spreading its wings is not symmetrical, it looks like a work made of hand, but between the smart knife techniques, it maintains the basic norms, and strives to be elegant and solemn, this kind of casual and solemn generosity not only shows the dynamics of the eagle wanting to fly, but also shows the domineering spirit of the king of the birds, and has reached the realm of "doing what you want without exceeding the rules".

Looking at Cheng Lao's hopeful eyes, Liu Fei didn't answer, if he hadn't seen the battle between the embroidery needle - 111 and the black fighting mecha, Liu Fei would at least consider whether to use wood carving as a means of making a living, but now, this possibility is zero.

Now, mecha is Liu Fei's dream, and entering Zall Mecha University is Liu Fei's only goal.

"Hey!" Looking at Liu Fei, who was unmoved, Cheng Lao sighed, he is a person who has been through the wind and frost for a long time, and he can see through the world, so he naturally has seen that Liu Fei is determined, and he will never be tempted by the outside world to shake his decision, so he will not force it.

There was a long silence in the room.

Liu Fei wanted to say a few words of comfort, but for a while, he was short of words and couldn't find suitable words to comfort this important figure in the carving industry.

"Xiaofei, do you know why the salary I give you has never been high?" Cheng Lao broke the silence and said slowly.

"It's already high." Liu Fei shook his head, he didn't think that the remuneration he received for his labor was not proportional, on the contrary, he thought that the salary that Cheng Lao gave him was far beyond his imagination.

"No, it's not high, but very low, the price of each of your works is enough to cover all the expenses of your four years of college, in order not to let you develop the mentality of impetuousness and oversight, therefore, I have always only paid you one-tenth of the salary you deserve, and now, Cheng's wood carving is also closing, and the ancestral industry of hundreds of years of history will also be lost in my hands......"

Cheng Lao's face was gloomy, maybe he was a little tired, and he paused when he said this, as if he was reminiscing about the past.

"Over the years, I have also had some savings, and I will pay you the salary you deserve later......"

"No!" Li Fei shook his head and decisively refused.

"You listen to me first, Xiaofei, although your talent in wood carving is extremely high, but I know that you are not here, and I don't expect you to continue the career of the Cheng family, hehe, this is not a career, Cheng's wood carving has a history of hundreds of years, although it is a little famous, but there has never been a master-level person, this career, don't do it...... Ahem...... Ahem......"

"Grandpa, let's rest first." Chenchen hurriedly walked to the head of the bed and gently patted Cheng Lao's back.

The old man coughed violently, his face bloody.

"It's okay, it's okay, hehe, if you don't say it now, you won't have a chance to say it in the future, it's okay, you sit down first."

Cheng Lao waved his hand and motioned for Chenchen to sit down, but Chenchen couldn't stand up to his grandfather, so he had to sit on the edge of the bed.

"Liu Fei, time is running out, except for Chenchen, there is nothing that can't be let go, Chenchen's parents died since he was a child, he didn't get his father's love and mother's love, he looks soft and weak on the outside, but in fact, his personality is persistent and strong, I really can't rest assured......" The old man looked at Chenchen with a look of love and reluctance.

"Grandpa......" Chenchen grabbed the old man's hand, tears rolled in his eyes, and his hands tightly held the old man's thin palm.

"Xiaofei, I hope you can help me take care of Chenchen."

The old man's eyes were fixed on Liu Fei, and Chenchen, who was heartbroken, suddenly lowered his head, blushing with a blush, like a red cloud hanging over his face, spreading all the way to his white neck, she couldn't imagine that her grandfather would say it directly, and in front of her.

"I ......" Liu Fei was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and said, "I want to study." ”

"Hehe, I know you want to study, and I'm not asking you to marry Chenchen......"

"Grandpa!" Chen Chen shook his grandfather's arm in disgust, his eyes didn't dare to look at Liu Fei, and he couldn't wait to find a crack to hide.

"Hehe, don't shake it, grandpa still has a lot to say...... cough cough cough ......" The old man smiled kindly, withdrew his hand, and gently stroked Chenchen's head, the color of love overflowing.

"Liu Fei, can you promise me one thing?" Cheng Lao suddenly said with a serious face.

"You speak first." Liu Fei's meaning is obvious, if he can do it, he will do it.

"Help me watch Chenchen and protect Chenchen!"

"Yes." Liu Fei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, what he was most afraid of was that Cheng Lao would let him marry Chenchen and continue to run the small wood carving shop, as for protecting Chenchen, it would be much simpler, this was completely acceptable, this was no problem for Liu Fei.

Ginger is still old and spicy, a seemingly simple promise immediately killed Liu Fei, for an old and cunning person like Cheng Lao, he naturally knows that people like Liu Fei admit death and will not easily promise anything, but as long as he agrees, he will definitely do it!

If the soldering iron head hadn't died, Liu Fei would naturally not have been fooled, compared to the treacherous and cunning Cheng Lao, Liu Fei was too jerky.

A hint of cunning flashed between Cheng Lao's eyes, Liu Fei naturally didn't expect that this promise meant responsibility, and this promise made Liu Fei's magnificent career more colorful.

"Okay, I'm done, I'm tired, you should go home early and rest." Cheng Lao seemed to be really tired, closed his eyes slightly, and gently waved his sailor at Liu Fei.

"Hmm."

"I'll send you."

"No, you don't."

Liu Fei strode towards the door, Chenchen didn't say much, followed behind Liu Fei step by step, Liu Fei didn't bother to stop, after months of dating, he knew a little about Chenchen's character, Chenchen belonged to the kind of girl who didn't talk much and had a strong personality, and her willpower was quite firm.

Every time Liu Fei went to the wood carving shop, Chenchen would pour him a cup of fragrant tea, Liu Fei was not interested in tea, at the beginning, Liu Fei didn't look at it, and ignored it directly; However, although Chenchen did not speak, he would always stand beside Liu Fei, holding tea in both hands; In the end, Liu Fei failed, at least, after drinking tea, there would not be a woman standing by his side all the time, which made Liu Fei very unaccustomed; In the end, Liu Fei chose to drink tea, so every time he went to Cheng's wood carving shop, after entering the door, Liu Fei would swallow a cup of fragrant tea......

"Give me the card and I'll transfer it to you." Walking out of the room, Chenchen said softly behind Liu Fei's back.

"No, you don't."

"Give it to me."

"No, you don't." Liu Fei shook his head, his expression was very firm.

"That'...... What about your tuition? Chenchen hesitated for a moment and asked.

"I'll figure it out myself." Liu Fei strode out.

"Wait a minute." Chenchen lowered his head, and his voice was inaudible.

"Huh?"

Liu Fei turned his head and looked at Chenchen with a face like sunset, he didn't understand the physiological structure of women, why was he always red-faced? It seems that I have time to read a book and understand how the physiological structure of women is different from that of men.

"Just now...... Just now...... You don't have to take what you promised Grandpa just now......"

"Why?"

"I ...... I don't need your protection, I'll take care of myself. Chenchen was desperately stirring the corners of her clothes with both hands, the other party was an elm pimple, and sometimes, she had to explain a little.

"Oh...... That's good, I'm leaving. ”

“…… Oh......"

Looking at the back that disappeared into the speed elevator, Chenchen suddenly regretted it, why was he so stupid? Why don't you want him to protect himself?

"What's wrong?" Cheng Lao opened his eyes, watched the depressed Chenchen walk in, and asked lovingly.

"It's fine." Chenchen lowered his head and sat down and shook his head.

"You say you don't need his protection anymore?" Cheng Lao said with a smile.

"Ah...... Grandfather...... How do you know? Chenchen looked up at his grandfather in surprise.

"Hehe, you grew up with me, don't you know what you think grandpa?" Cheng Lao looked at Chenchen with a loving face.

"Grandpa......" Chenchen pounced on Cheng Lao's body, buried his face in Cheng Lao's arms, and sobbed gently.

"Did he say, 'That's good.'" Cheng Lao asked.

"Hmm."

"Do you regret that he didn't have to protect you?"

“…… Well. "Chenchen's voice is like the buzzing of mosquitoes.

"It's okay, people like Liu Fei won't promise easily, as long as they promise, they will do it, but you must remember, don't let Liu Fei protect you easily, you can see Liu Fei's knife technique, the murderous spirit is extremely heavy, if you have something, I'm afraid that he will kill someone, so you have to protect yourself, don't let Liu Fei make a move easily, understand?"

"Will Liu Fei kill for me?" Chenchen raised his head with a look of disbelief.

"Why not?" Cheng Lao asked with a smile.

He ...... He...... No...... Not ......"

"Does he not like you?" Cheng Lao chuckled.

"Grandpa......" Chen Chen coquettishly covered Cheng Lao's mouth with his hand, with a disregarded expression.

"Liu Fei is now bent on realizing his dreams, so he will naturally ignore the affairs of men and women, how can you be sure that he doesn't like you? Although grandpa can't tell whether Liu Fei likes you or not, grandpa can be sure that Liu Fei doesn't hate you. ”

"Why?"

"According to Liu Fei's character, if he hates a person, he will never drink the tea that person poured for him, he is not a person who has learned to accommodate, you know, he prefers to drink water."

"Ah...... Does he like to drink water? Grandpa, why didn't you tell me earlier? Chen Chen looked at Cheng Lao with a surprised expression.

"Hehe, let him drink water is for you to accommodate him, let him drink tea is for him to accommodate you, you say, is grandpa willing to let him accommodate you or let you accommodate him?"

"But...... But ......" Chenchen had an uneasy expression on her face, she had never thought that Liu Fei didn't like tea.

"But what? Hehe, grandpa likes to drink tea doesn't mean that Liu Fei also likes to drink tea, drink tea just drink tea, Liu Fei has no opinion, doesn't he drink every time? It's a pity that it's a waste of good tea, and grandpa can't even drink good tea......"

"Grandpa......" Chenchen blushed with shame.

"Chenchen, you have to remember that the relationship between men and women can be cultivated, grandpa and your grandma have only known each other for three days and got married, and they are not happy for a lifetime, when your grandma left, she also said, in the next life, you must marry me, hehe...... Your father and mother are not free to love, at that time they did not like each other, your mother even threatened to commit suicide not to marry your father, and finally after getting married, the relationship between the two was so good that they were inseparable, in that disaster, the two husbands and wives did not abandon each other, although they did not live together, but they died together, among the relics there is a letter written by your mother to your father, saying, 'Husband, I marry you, it is my blessing, I love you!' ’……”

"Grandpa...... I...... How do I do that? Chen Chen asked softly.

"You don't need to do anything deliberately, you can do whatever you want in your heart, don't be afraid, don't retreat! Be courageous, be determined! In the competition with other women, you are already at the front of the starting line, but he promised grandpa to protect you! ”

"Thank you, grandpa."

"Silly boy, of course grandpa hopes you are good, grandpa goes, don't be sad, grandpa is eighty-seven, but he just lived to the average age, it is a good death, there is nothing to be sad about, and Cheng's wood carving has nothing to be nostalgic for...... Oops, terrible......"

"What's wrong, grandpa?"

"Grandpa forgot something important."

"What's the matter?"

"Two years later, there will be a charity event at Finidas, where there will be a charity sale, and the organizer has invited me, and I hope Liu Fei can bring my work to participate."

"I can go instead."

"He is more suitable than you, you let Liu Fei come over tomorrow."

"Okay, grandpa, you should rest early."

"Well, hopefully I'll be able to see the sun tomorrow morning." Thinking of the charity bazaar two years later, a trace of regret flashed on Cheng Lao's face.
