Chapter 282: Chapter 282 Grandfather is in Trouble_1

Only after she had fallen asleep did the man with his eyes closed open them. He gazed at her silently, continuously… for a very long time…

…

Dawn arrived.

Hai Xiaotang had not enjoyed such a good sleep in a long time.

She woke up refreshed and opened her eyes, but Dongfang Yu was nowhere to be seen.

Hai Xiaotang washed up and headed downstairs, where she discovered that he was making breakfast. It truly surprised her that he was cooking again — he had cooked dinner for her yesterday and now he was making breakfast.

Hai Xiaotang felt spoilt by his attention.

Upon seeing that she had woken up, Dongfang Yu greeted her with a smile, “I just finished making breakfast. Come eat.”

Hai Xiaotang took a seat and teasingly asked, “Why did you decide to cook? You only just recovered, you should be resting.”

“I’m fine,” said Dongfang Yu as he passed her the sliced bacon. “Have more, you’ve lost weight recently.”

“You should have more too!” Hai Xiaotang handed him some bacon — she couldn’t possibly finish it all.

Dongfang Yu promptly gave it back to her, insistently demanding, “Eat all of this!”

Hai Xiaotang didn’t argue. She simply nodded agreeably, “Okay.”

After a few bites, she noticed he wasn’t eating, only watching her. There was an inexplicable light flickering in his eyes.

Puzzled, Hai Xiaotang asked, “Why aren’t you eating?”

With a soft smile, Dongfang Yu replied, “Watching you eat has me mesmerized.”

Hai Xiaotang felt bashful. She found his sweet words utterly heart-melting.

“Eat quickly. After we eat, we can go back. My grandfather must be worried after not seeing me all night,” she urged him.

Dongfang Yu’s eyes flickered as he nodded, “Okay.”

With a smile, Hai Xiaotang continued eating. After a few more bites, she couldn’t resist asking him, “By the way, how did you save me? What exactly happened? Are someone setting us up?”

Dongfang Yu paused slightly, then spoke in a deep voice, “We can talk after you’re done eating.”

“Oh.” Hai Xiaotang hastily ate. She had hardly eaten anything yesterday and had also only eaten a little last night.

Although she didn’t feel hungry last night, she was feeling extremely hungry now.

So she ate a whole strip of bacon, a fried egg, a slice of whole wheat bread, and also drank a glass of milk.

After finishing her breakfast, Hai Xiaotang felt very satisfied.

However, Dongfang Yu had eaten very little, not even half of what she had.

Concerned, Hai Xiaotang asked, “Why are you eating so little? Are you unwell?”

“No,” Dongfang Yu put down his cutlery, and again fixed his gaze on her.

Hai Xiaotang finally noticed his odd behavior, “What’s wrong? You seem preoccupied.”

Just as Dongfang Yu was about to reply, his cell phone started vibrating.

He took it, saw the caller ID, and was slightly taken aback.

The call was from Hai Lan.

Dongfang Yu was puzzled when he answered the call, but before he could speak, he heard Hai Lan say, “Brother Dongfang, I need to talk to Hai Xiaotang. Can you pass her the phone?”

Dongfang Yu could hear the urgency in Hai Lan’s voice, and a sense of foreboding filled him, “What’s the matter?”

“Something happened to grandpa, she needs to come home immediately!”

Hai Lan’s voice was probably too loud because Hai Xiaotang overheard her.

She abruptly grabbed the phone, blurting out, “Hello, Hai Lan, what did you say? What happened to Grandpa?”

“Just come back first, hurry back!” Without saying anything more, Hai Lan hung up the phone.

“Hello, Hai Lan, hello—.” A sudden fear gripped Hai Xiaotang, “Dongfang Yu, what do we do? Something happened to Grandpa! I have no idea what it is, but I need to go back immediately!”

Dongfang Yu took her hand and led her to the door, “I’ll go with you!”

They quickly got into the car and sped off.
