Fellow Daoist, your script is really good.

Just as Su Li turned to go out to brew the medicine, the girl gently pinched the hem of Su Li's clothes.

"Senior brother, can you tell Sisi the truth...?"

......

......

We only need forty more monthly passes to reach 1000, which should be pretty much a breeze~~~~

Thank you all for your support! Mwah!

Chapter 278 It's Sisi again...

"Senior brother, can you tell Sisi the truth...?"

Qin Sisi gently tugged at Su Li's sleeve.

Su Li turned around and saw the girl's beautiful, shimmering eyes.

Su Li remained silent for a moment, still not speaking.

"Senior Brother Su, I'm begging you..."

The girl's small hands trembled slightly, and her eyes were already slightly red.

"Senior Brother Su..."

Qin Sisi called out softly again and stood up to kneel down in front of Su Li.

"Junior Sister Qin, there's no need for that."

Realizing what had happened, Su Li quickly helped the girl up, her expression complex.

After much deliberation, Su Li sighed helplessly.

This matter cannot be kept secret for long; Junior Sister Qin will eventually find out.

Moreover, Junior Sister Qin really needs to know.

"Miss Qin..."

Actually, my grandma...

possible......

He probably only has three or four days left to live...

Su Li spoke very softly, but Qin Sisi still heard him.

When Qin Sisi heard Su Li's words, the girl's mind went blank; she couldn't believe it was true...

A silence fell over the room, and Su Li dared not look into the girl's eyes.

Finally, Su Li felt the girl's small hand, which had been tightly gripping the hem of his clothes, loosen slightly and fall to her side...

Su Li looked up at Qin Sisi.

At this moment, the girl sat sideways on the edge of her grandmother's bed, her eyes fixed on her grandmother.

From the girl's reddened eyes, glistening tears slowly slid down, dripping onto the back of her hand and scattering into tiny, broken droplets.

"Why are there only a few days left...? Is there really... no way...?"

The girl's voice trembled with a heartbreaking intensity, making one want to hold her tightly in their arms.

Su Li shook his head: "The old man's life force was already extremely weak, you could say he was exhausted and his life force was almost gone."

The reason I said before that he would not live more than six months was based on the most ideal scenario.

Actually, the elderly person's condition was more serious than I thought.

Grandma's life force had long since waned to a mere spark, but her unwavering belief has sustained her until now.

And now, it's all over...

In these three or four days, the old man's time may come sooner than expected.

Maybe tomorrow...

so......"

Su Li did not continue speaking.

But the girl also understood what Senior Brother Su was trying to say...

Seeing the silent, petrified girl, Su Li said nothing more and left the room.

Just as Su Li closed the door, she heard faint sobs coming from inside the room.

"Ugh......"

Su Li sighed softly and set up a stove in the courtyard to start brewing medicine.

Su Li wanted to comfort Qin Sisi.

However, Su Li knew even better that letting Junior Sister Qin have some peace and quiet would be much better for her now.

After an incense stick had burned for a while, the door creaked open, and Qin Sisi walked out of the room and came to Su Li's side.

The girl's fair cheeks still bore faint tear stains, like daffodils washed by rain.

"Senior brother has also worked hard all night, Sisi, why don't you help him prepare the medicine..."

Qin Sisi tried to speak softly in a calm tone.

"Ah."

Su Li nodded and did not refuse.

Being able to do something for her grandmother in her final moments would make the young girl feel a little better.

After instructing the girl on the heat and time for decocting the medicine, Su Li returned to her room to "rest."

Inside the room, Su Li looked through the window at the girl's lonely yet resilient figure in the courtyard.

Su Li was naturally not in a good mood either.

After the medicine was decocted, the girl carried it into the room.

After feeding her grandmother the medicine, the girl took the medicine bowl to the kitchen to wash it.

Then the girl began to clean the courtyard and wash and hang the clothes.

As noon approached, the kitchen stove was lit, and the girl tied on an apron and began to cook.

Despite her deep sadness, the girl still managed to keep everything in the house in an orderly manner.

Su Li was exhausted from expending so much energy.

Looking at the girl in the kitchen, Su Li felt a little sleepy and closed her eyes slightly.

Su Li didn't know how much time had passed.

Anyway, Su Li felt her feet sink into warm water, and her soles were being slid by soft, silky hands.

When Su Li opened her eyes, she saw Qin Sisi squatting down, washing her feet.

When Qin Sisi finished washing and drying Su Li and was about to get up with the basin of water, Su Li subconsciously closed her eyes.

Su Li didn't know why she closed her eyes...

Immediately afterwards, Su Li heard the sound of the door closing, and Su Li opened her eyes.

A moment later, the door opened again, and Su Li quickly closed her eyes again.

This time, Qin Sisi used a different basin and filled it with clean hot water.

The girl wrung out the towel and wiped Su Li's face.

After washing her face, Su Li felt her body floating in the air.

Su Li opened her eyes a crack and realized that she was being carried in a "princess carry" by the girl...

Su Li was carried to the bed by Qin Sisi, who covered her with a blanket before the girl left the room.

Two incense sticks later, Qin Sisi gently woke Su Li up for lunch.

The moon has also woken up.

The family of three was having lunch in the courtyard.

Although the dining table is usually quiet, today it was unusually quiet.

As always, Qin Sisi would only pick up her chopsticks and wash the dishes after Su Li and Yue'er had finished eating.

In the afternoon, the girl, with nothing to do, sat in the courtyard, staring blankly at the sky.

The afternoon sunlight outlined the girl's almost perfectly proportioned figure, and her flawless face was far more beautiful than the summer sky.

Perhaps, only when no one is around can the girl so "unrestrainedly" raise her head...

Around three or four o'clock in the afternoon, faint noises came from Grandma's room.

Like a frightened little rabbit, the girl quickly went into her grandmother's room.

Su Li naturally followed her inside.

Grandma looks to be in good health.

But in reality, Su Li knew that this was nothing more than a final burst of energy before death...

Grandma doesn't have much time left...

In fact, the old man knew that he was nearing the end of his life.

When one's time is near, even an ordinary person in the mortal world will have a vague sense of their impending death...

"My youngest son...Young Master Su..."

Upon seeing his granddaughter and Su Li, the old man sat up with a smile. Although the wrinkles on his face showed signs of age, they also conveyed a very kind expression.

"What would Grandma like to eat...?"

Qin Sisi squatted down in front of her grandmother and helped her put on her coat, afraid that her grandmother would catch a cold.

"Have some porridge."

Grandma smiled and patted her granddaughter's head.

"Sisi, go do it..."

Qin Sisi forced back her tears and made a move to get up.

However, before the girl could stand up, her grandmother grabbed her hand.

Grandma shook her head: "I'll do it this time, I'll do it..."

"It's Sisi who's coming..." the girl said, forcing back tears.

"It's nothing."

Grandma patted the girl's hand.

"Doesn't my little one love Grandma's egg drop porridge the most? Let Grandma make it this time..."

Chapter 279 What do you think, young master?

Qin Sisi helped her grandmother into the kitchen.

Grandma was making egg drop porridge, and Qin Sisi was helping her with the preparations.

As for Su Li...

Su Li, being the ultimate kitchen culprit, was well aware of her limitations and decided not to cause any more trouble.

"Young Master Su, Miss Yue'er, please try my cooking... If it doesn't taste good, please forgive me."

A pot of egg drop porridge was ready, and the old man sat on a stool in the yard, happily watching Su Li and the others.

Although the old man always wore a smile and showed no sign of sadness, Su Li felt even more bitter.

Only Yue'er, unaware of the truth and believing that the old lady was definitely alright, continued to happily drink her porridge.

The old lady's egg drop porridge was a simple dish, neither particularly good nor bad, but it was warming and comforting, the kind that warms you right to the heart.
