Hidden Assassin - Chapter4

"It's raining in the Qingming Festival, and the pedestrians on the road are sad …" In the sound of reading, the girl stood up the textbook to cover her face. She lay on the table lazily and looked at the gray sky outside the window.

Tomorrow was the Qingming Festival. Although it was a happy thing that she didn't have to go to school during the holiday, she still had to sweep her grandpa's grave. She couldn't go for an outing with Xiaohua in her class.

Speaking of her grandpa, the girl didn't have any impression of him. It seemed that her grandpa had passed away when her mother was very young.

Speaking of feelings, she didn't have any. She even had some hatred for her grandpa in her heart. If it weren't for that irresponsible person, her grandmother wouldn't have lived so hard.

"Bang", a piece of chalk flew over and interrupted the girl's thoughts. She looked up and saw the old virgin with glasses on the podium. Her face was gloomier than the sky outside the window. The girl hurriedly picked up the textbook and read aloud, "When I ask where the restaurant is, the shepherd boy points to the Apricot Blossom Village …"

Sitting at the table after school, the girl still had a lingering fear when she thought of the thrilling experience in the afternoon class.

"What's wrong?

Taotao, do you have something on your mind? "Her grandmother asked with a smile.

Of course, the girl wouldn't mention the embarrassing things in the class in front of her grandmother. She hurriedly changed the topic, "Haha, nothing. Haha, by the way, grandma, my mother's nickname is Taotao, right?"

"Well, yes … Tomorrow is the Qingming Festival again." Her grandmother said lightly, and then she fell into silence …

As if she knew that she said something wrong, the girl hurriedly giggled and picked up the rice bowl to cover her face. She peeped at her grandmother's face secretly.

Her grandmother was old. Her hair was very white, but there were not many wrinkles on her face. She could vaguely see her beauty in the past.

In recent years, her grandmother's legs were inconvenient. Only Taotao and her mother swept her grandpa's grave.

Thinking of the ordinary face in the picture of her grandpa's gravestone, Taotao felt that her grandmother didn't match him at all. They were like a princess and a young man.

Her grandmother always appeared to be strong in front of others.

Every time she mentioned her grandpa, she just smiled faintly and said nothing.

But Taotao knew that her grandmother often went to the balcony to sit on the rocking chair for a long time in the dead of night.

Thinking of this, Taotao's grandmother seemed to notice the awkward silence. She couldn't help laughing, "The fish is fresh today. Taotao, eat more!"

When he woke up in the morning, the sky was as gloomy as yesterday, as if it was pressing down on his heart.

The young girl yawned as she walked out of the room. She discovered that her grandmother was already sitting on the rocking chair on the balcony. She had already fallen asleep and was in a deep sleep.

She quietly covered her grandmother with a blanket and looked at the smile on her grandmother's face as she slept.

The young girl suddenly had a very strange feeling. Could it be that her grandmother had always felt happiness?

When she went out with her mother, it was already drizzling outside.

It was raining heavily during Qingming Festival. It seemed that Grandpa wasn't that annoying after all …
