Delta: Taming wheat in a dream, I, Said
Chapter 88 You Will Not Betray Me, Nor Will You Betray Me
Mai Xiaowen lost both her parents and was raised by her grandparents from a young age; they had a deep bond with each other.
In other words, Mai Xiaowen is the apple of her grandfather's eye.
Although he hoped that Mai Xiaowen would find a good family, when Mai Xiaowen actually brought a boyfriend home, he still subconsciously gave Bai Kang a hard time.
"Old man, what nonsense are you spouting? How dare you talk to Xiao Kang like that?"
Before Bai Kang could react, Grandma frowned, gave Grandpa a flick on the forehead, and then turned to look at Bai Kang with a kind expression.
"Xiao Kang, ignore this old man. That's just how he is. If he gives you a hard time, tell me and I'll beat him up."
Grandpa's stern face immediately fell, and he stared at Bai Kang with resentment.
Bai Kang smiled. He could tell that the two elderly people were very energetic and the atmosphere was great, indicating that they had a good relationship.
"Come, come, don't stand there. Make yourself at home and sit down. You've come at just the right time; the food is ready." Grandma helped Bai Kang sit down.
The latter was somewhat flustered; it was his first time dealing with such a situation, and he felt flattered.
The old man was too enthusiastic, and he couldn't quite handle it.
Then, Grandma went to the kitchen to stir-fry the last dish of Chinese cabbage.
"Grandma, let me help you." Mai Xiaowen followed, leaving Bai Kang and his grandfather staring at each other at the table, an awkward feeling immediately rising within them.
Bai Kang hesitated for a moment, then spoke up: "Grandpa, are you and Grandma both agents?"
The operatives are much healthier than ordinary people. Mai Xiaowen said that her grandparents were over sixty years old, but Bai Kang saw that her grandparents were very healthy and did not look like old people in their sixties at all.
When his grandmother pressed him down into the chair, he could clearly feel that her grip was very strong, even stronger than that of some strong men.
Without a doubt, they are agents.
"Yes, the old lady and I are both agents." Grandpa did not deny it.
"Back in the day, I was known as the Prince of the Secret Dam. I could beat Wu Tao and kick Liu Tao. Everyone was afraid of me. My legend was everywhere. Unfortunately, I later went bankrupt due to a top-secret aerospace project, which is why I had to retire from the world." As he spoke, a trace of nostalgia appeared in Grandpa's eyes.
Bai Kang's lips twitched.
Who asked you that? Did you trigger your passive ability?
The fact that a top-secret aerospace company went bankrupt illustrates one thing.
He wasn't born with the spirit to launch a fierce attack, but he caught the disease of it.
Punching Wu Tao and kicking Liu Tao? A legend?
Bai Kang didn't believe it, but outwardly he still exclaimed in shock, "Grandpa's strength is actually so terrifying?!"
Grandpa enjoyed his shock and appreciated his maturity, so much so that he found Bai Kang much more agreeable.
He casually asked, "Since Wheat chose you, you must be an operator. How many skills have you awakened?"
"Four."
Grandpa wasn't surprised. After all, his granddaughter was so outstanding that not having awakened four skills would be unworthy of her.
Which school did you graduate from?
Bai Kang scratched his head. "I haven't graduated yet."
"Oh, which university are you at now?"
"Um, I'm not a college student yet."
Upon hearing this, Grandpa paused for a moment, then his eyes widened suddenly, staring intently at Bai Kang.
"You're still a high school student?!"
"Um……"
This has left the old man completely bewildered. His granddaughter, a college graduate, has found a high school student as her boyfriend—isn't this like an old cow eating young grass?
His eyes darted around nervously; if word got out, it wouldn't sound good on his reputation.
"What's your name again?"
"Bai Kang".
"Bai Kang, Bai Kang, Bai Kang, Bai..." The old man muttered several times before finally remembering the name. His eyes widened and his mouth gaped open.
"You, you're Bai Kang from Yuncheng Academy?!"
Bai Kang was already famous in Yuncheng, after all, this was the first time he had ever seen the Awakening Sphere emit a blood-red light.
However, Mai Xiaowen's grandparents don't usually go online; they only occasionally hear about it from their neighbors on the street.
So at first, he didn't recognize Bai Kang, but after chatting with him, Grandpa immediately remembered him.
Grandpa stared at Bai Kang's slightly childish face, his eyes flickering. He glanced towards the kitchen before lowering his voice and saying:
"Kid, tell me the truth, you and Xiaomai are imposters, right? You're in Cloud City and I'm in Sleeping Moon City, how could you be a couple?"
Bai Kang was not flustered by this. His identity could not be hidden. Mai Xiaowen had anticipated this situation and had prepared her explanation in advance.
"Grandpa, do you believe in love at first sight?"
"Oh, I believe you."
"Don't believe me? Let me explain. Falling in love at first sight is actually a kind of destiny—"
Bai Kang's words came to an abrupt halt, and he looked at the proud-looking old man in astonishment, "You, you believe that?"
"Believe it or not, back in the day, when I was fiercely attacking the secret dam, I fell in love with Ah Xin at first sight..."
Ah Xin was what my grandfather called my grandmother when they were young.
Although Bai Kang thought the idea of love at first sight was ridiculous, he didn't believe in any of it—whether it was magic or destiny.
He believes that love at first sight is simply lust at first sight.
Otherwise? He had never heard of a story about falling in love at first sight with someone of average appearance.
"Since you're a senior in high school, you must be taking the college entrance exam soon," the old man said slowly. "What are your plans?"
Bai Kang thought for a moment, "I plan to apply to Mianyue University."
"Mianyue University..." The old man nodded gently, "It's a good choice."
"Grandpa, I don't know much about Mianyue University. Could you tell me about it?" Bai Kang asked quickly, his eyes darting around. He knew that ordinary methods wouldn't uncover the secrets of Mianyue University.
The old man in front of me clearly knows some inside information. That makes sense, as the grandfather of the nation's goddess, he must know some secrets that are unknown to others.
The old man smiled and looked at Bai Kang without saying a word, just staring at him.
Bai Kang felt uncomfortable being stared at, as if he were being stripped naked and scrutinized. He shrank back and said, "If you can't say, then forget it."
The old man withdrew his gaze and said slowly, "I signed a confidentiality agreement and can't reveal too much. The only thing I can tell you is that it's a good place."
Bai Kang was somewhat disappointed; it was no different from not saying anything at all.
This Mianyue University is getting more and more mysterious. It feels like a secret organization is saving the world.
"Oh, right," the old man suddenly said, his eyes fixed intently on Bai Kang, his tone unusually serious.
"Bai Kang, right? I don't care whether you and Xiaomai are really a couple or not. Even if it's not true, since Xiaomai chose you, she must have feelings for you."
If I ever find out that you've bullied Xiaomai, no matter where you are or who you are, I will never forgive you.
Bai Kang was stunned. The casual and lazy old man in front of him seemed to have returned to his days as an agent who dominated the Zero Dam. His eyes revealed a murderous intent.
This is a grandfather's doting affection for his granddaughter.
After a moment of silence, Bai Kang said seriously:
"You will not betray me, nor will I betray you."
