Reborn at Boot Camp: General, Don't Mess Around! - Chapter 3110

3110 Love
When the old man said this, his face was filled with guilt.

In his entire life, the person he felt the most guilty toward was his eldest granddaughter whom he just acknowledged. He never knew of her existence and let her suffer at such a young age. The person he felt the most guilty toward was her…

He sighed softly. Ye Jian, who had been standing outside for a while, couldn’t help but bite her lower lip.

As she sighed, she heard her grandpa’s deep guilt and self-blame.

How could she blame Grandpa?

There was a reason for all of this. He didn’t forget her on purpose. There was really no need for him to feel guilty, let alone blame himself. Now, she had returned to the Fu family. She had her grandpa’s love and her father’s love. It was enough to make up for the past.

She had already entered for a while. At first, she wanted to give her grandpa a surprise, but she stopped in her tracks when she heard the old man say these things. Unexpectedly, she heard the thoughts that the old man had buried deep within him. He had never revealed these thoughts to anyone else.

Ye Jian’s breathing was a little chaotic. She planned to gather her emotions before entering. After a soft sigh, she heard the old man say, “In order to make her happy for a longer time, I have to live well. I have to live for a longer time. Even 100 years isn’t enough. I should live to 110 years.”

Ye Jian, who was outside, burst into tears.

As Butler Fu carefully fed the old man millet porridge, he asked with a smile, “Why only 110 years old? Why not 120 years old?”

“The time is just right. If I live to be 111 years, my eldest granddaughter will have already gotten married and have her own child. Her focus will be on her family, children, and work. I can’t let her be distracted by my old self. That’d be time for me to leave.”

Hearing this, Butler Fu’s eyes turned red.

He understood what the old man meant.

At that time, the missus would have found something to rely on. She would have a lover, a child, and another large family to accompany her. She would be surrounded by familial love and concern. Even if the old man left at that time, the missus wouldn’t be so sad anymore.

“You’ve been thinking about other people all your life. When will you think about yourself?” Butler Fu said softly. The voice of the man from the northeast choked a little.

The old man was still smiling calmly. “Thinking for other people is life. Thinking for yourself is life too. I like living for other people.”

He was calm, casual, forthright, and selfless. He had the qualities of an old scientist. He didn’t ask for anything in return. He didn’t ask for gratitude. He just wanted a clear conscience.

Butler Fu didn’t know what to say anymore. He let out a long sigh and said, “You…”

There was no longer the sound of chatting in the bedroom. Ye Jian didn’t go in immediately. She wiped her tears and left quietly. She didn’t raise her voice until she was in the living room.

When the old man in the bedroom heard this, he immediately said, “Oh, she’s finally here. Quick, quick, Little Fu, ask my eldest granddaughter to come over. Also, ask her if she’s had breakfast. Give her a bowl of millet porridge to nourish her stomach so that she won’t serve me empty-handed.”

He was as happy as a child.

When he saw Ye Jian, the old man smiled. There were many more wrinkles at the corners of his eyes. “Child, you must be tired from your training. If you have time off, you should rest well. Don’t run around.”

“That won’t do. I normally can’t accompany you, so I have to come over to accompany you during the holidays!” Ye Jian took the small bowl on the bedside table and skillfully fed the old man millet porridge. She also asked the old man how he was doing.
