Kidnap a superstar for a romance

Chapter 369: The 365th Day of Being a Boss (Past)

【2024｜08｜31 revised】

Of course Xu Yisong was not aware of these.

She walked to the door of the study and knocked gently.

"Come in." A familiar voice came from inside. Xu Yisong turned the door handle and poked his head in first, asking with a smile, "Are you not finished talking yet?"

"Song Song?" Mr. Xu turned to look at the head poking in from the door with some surprise, "You're here so early?"

Xu Yisong tapped his wrist speechlessly: "Dad, do you want to check the time? How long have you been talking? You even forgot the time."

If Xu Yisong had returned according to the original schedule, he would have been almost an hour later than planned today.

Mr. Xu looked at the time and realized that the originally scheduled time had long passed. He slapped his forehead helplessly and said, "I forgot everything when I started talking about things."

Grandpa also stood up at this time: "Anyway, we have talked enough, let's go downstairs, it's almost time for dinner."

"Dad, Songsong and I..." Mr. Xu glanced at Xu Yisong and it was obvious that he wanted to say something to Xu Yisong alone.

But Grandpa ignored him and walked directly to Xu Yisong, took the fruit plate from her hand and handed it to his son standing behind him. Then he led her out of the study without looking back: "Let's go. The child just came back. Can't we wait until she has had enough rest before we talk?"

Having said that, Grandpa did not give Mr. Xu a chance to speak. Looking at the grandfather and grandson who had already walked out the door, Mr. Xu stood there, looking at the fruit in his hand and sighed.

When Xu Yisong left, she glanced at her father quietly, then whispered to her grandfather: "Grandpa, you don't have to be like this. I won't quarrel with him."

Grandpa just smiled and said, "I didn't say you two would quarrel, and you know your dad never looks at the time when he talks about things. Aren't you going to have dinner?"

This reason was quite convincing, and Xu Yisong couldn't find any reason to refute it. But she always felt that her grandfather was hiding something from her.

Although she was curious, Xu Yisong did not ask. If her grandfather deliberately hid it from her, she would not be able to get the answer no matter how hard she asked. She would know it sooner or later when the time came.

When they reached the corner of the stairs, Grandpa suddenly stopped, and Xu Yisong stopped as well.

I followed my grandfather's gaze and realized that he was looking at my grandmother and Quan Zhilong who were sitting in the living room downstairs.

"It seems that your grandma likes him very much." Grandpa turned around and said to Xu Yisong.

He has never had any contact with Quan Zhilong, and has never even taken the initiative to ask Xu Yisong anything about Quan Zhilong, but that doesn't mean he knows nothing.

To be honest, he knows more about Kwon Ji-ryong than his grandmother, who often talks to Xu Yisong.

From the moment his grandfather stopped to look at Quan Zhilong, Xu Yisong became subconsciously nervous.

Of all her family members, she actually cares most about her grandfather's opinion, because she knows that as long as she likes it, no one else will have any objection. But her grandfather is different. In her heart, her grandfather is a very authoritative person, and his opinion will affect her to a great extent.

Now it seems that Grandpa is also satisfied with Quan Zhilong.

Xu Yisong's changes did not escape his grandfather's eyes. He just reached out and rubbed Xu Yisong's head like he did when he was a child: "As long as our Songsong is happy."

He didn't care about the other person's identity or family background. As long as Xu Yisong was happy, he naturally wouldn't have any objections.

Compared to the gentleness and enthusiasm of Xu Yisong's grandfather's family, which comes from a family of doctors, the people of the Xu family have some innate indifference that belongs to businessmen.

But at the same time, the Xu family members protect their own shortcomings, and their protection is completely unreasonable.

When facing outsiders, they only put their own interests first, and they will take advantage of others in their conversations. However, when facing their family members, they will give their emotions without reservation.

The premise is that they treat you as family.

So compared to the care and concern that grandpa and his family show to Quan Zhilong, the Xu family seems much more restrained, gentle yet distant.

In their eyes, Quan Zhilong is still in the observation stage.

It's just because Xu Yisong likes him that they also like him, that's all.

But compared to outsiders, this is already a very warm treatment.

In addition to the differences in language and living habits, Kwon Ji-yong always feels nervous at the Xu family. It would be better for him to be at ease meeting his grandfather and his family in Korea.

While eating, she noticed that Quan Zhilong was nervous, so she quietly reached out her hand under the table and squeezed him, then gave him a soothing smile when he looked at her.

Although it was just a simple action, the tension in Quan Zhilong's heart was instantly eliminated the moment it met Xu Yisong's sight.

Xu Yisong picked up a piece of food for Quan Zhilong with chopsticks and leaned over and whispered, "Don't worry about them, we'll go to rest after dinner."

If she was just having dinner with her grandparents, the atmosphere wouldn't be so tense. But today, it wasn't just her grandparents at the table, there was also her dad, Xu Ren'an, and his mom.

Actually, I can’t say I was nervous, it was just too quiet. There were a lot of people sitting at the table but we didn’t feel like a family.

Xu Yisong didn't like this atmosphere either, but it wasn't anyone's fault, so he couldn't say anything.

And compared to her, I'm afraid Xu Ren'an and the others would be more embarrassed. It's just that no one can see it on their faces.

Xu Yisong saw that everyone had almost finished eating, so he pulled Quan Zhilong and said, "Grandpa and grandma, I'm done eating and I'm going to rest first."

"Go ahead. You've been on the plane for several hours today. Take a good rest. You don't have to get up too early tomorrow." Grandma spoke first. She smiled and gave some more instructions before waving her hand to let the two leave.

After getting his grandmother's approval, Xu Yisong nodded to the others and then pulled Quan Zhilong upstairs.

After they walked away, Xu Yisong whispered to Quan Zhilong, "Are you full? If not, we can quietly talk to Aunt Chen to make some midnight snacks later. We can't eat them in the house."

"Is it okay?" Quan Zhilong looked behind him.

Xu Yisong walked forward and said, "Of course." She often did this when she didn't want to have dinner with her father.

However, although Quan Zhilong did not eat much, he was not hungry either.

The two returned to Xu Yisong's room. Xu Yisong lay down on the sofa next to him, then leaned on the armrest of the sofa and looked at Quan Zhilong and asked, "How do you feel? Is it completely different from the last time you saw grandpa and the others?"

The moment the door closed and they were left alone, Quan Zhilong relaxed completely: "It's definitely different." It was okay when he was chatting with grandma, but he felt inexplicably depressed when eating.

He didn't know whether Xu Yisong had been living like this all these years, but he didn't like this kind of atmosphere very much, and he couldn't imagine that such a family could raise a child like Xu Yisong.

It feels like a herbivore has mixed in with a group of carnivores.

Although Xu Yisong has lived in China for more time, he always feels that Xu Yisong's personality is more like that of the Li family.

But if you think about it carefully, it's not entirely true. For example, the strength and stubbornness in Xu Yisong's character are very similar to the grandfather he saw, but Xu Yisong looks more gentle and harmless on the surface.

After all, if Xu Yisong was really a gentle herbivore, he wouldn't go alone to check such dangerous things.

Quan Zhilong sat down next to Xu Yisong and observed the layout of the room. He found that this bedroom looked more like a little girl's room. Many things were still childish and were not something that Xu Yisong would like now.

Xu Yisong poked the tumbler on the small table next to him and answered Quan Zhilong's doubts: "I rarely came back after high school, so many things are still left behind."

At that time, her relationship with her father deteriorated, so she simply chose to live in the school dormitory. During holidays, she would go directly to her grandparents' house and rarely come back here. Later, she went abroad to study and came back even less often.

Even though she seldom came back, the things in the room hadn't changed at all, not even their positions.

Quan Zhilong's eyes fell on the photo frames on the desk not far away. He stood up and walked over, and found that they were all photos of Xu Yisong, so he looked at them with great interest.

Unlike the photos he saw at Xu Yisong’s grandmother’s place, these photos showed a bigger Xu Yisong with a ponytail, wearing a school uniform, looking youthful and energetic.

It was Xu Yisong during his student days.

"You haven't changed much over the years, you're so cute." Kwon Ji-yong held the photo frame and gestured to Xu Yisong who was lying on the sofa. He found that compared to the photo, Xu Yisong's facial features had grown a little and his face had less baby fat.

Recalling the touch of Xu Yisong's face, Quan Zhilong felt a little regretful that he didn't meet her earlier. He always felt that she was so cute when she was a student, with a round face that looked good to touch.

Xu Yisong came over and put one hand on Quan Zhilong's shoulder. He took the photo frame with the other hand, looked at it and said, "If you knew me at that time, you might not say such words."

"?"

"I was not a good kid back then." It can be said that Xu Yisong's rebellious period in both of his lives was spent in those few years.

Although Xu Yisong never got into trouble and his grades were top notch throughout his school years, apart from these he was just a typical problem teenager.

Xu Yisong sat up, looked around, and then took out a photo album from the cabinet. In it were some photos of Xu Yisong and her friends taken at that time. They were completely different from the good girl displayed on the table outside.

Quan Zhilong looked at Xu Yisong, who looked very different, and asked with a smile, "Bad girl?"

Xu Yisong raised his eyebrows when he heard this but did not refute. He then told him some things about his student days.

In fact, Xu Yisong just looked like a bad boy at that time, but she would not bully others. On the contrary, she helped many bullied students.

"There was a genius student in our class before. He had excellent grades and was almost always the top student in the grade. But he was very thin and his family was not well off. For a while, he was often stopped by hooligans outside the school and asked for money." I actually told the teacher at the time, but unfortunately the school could only control the situation within the school. They still bullied the student outside the school.

Xu Yisong and a few good friends in the class couldn't stand it, so they went over to fight with the gang on the weekend. Because the fight was so fierce, the parents were called in. It was also the first time that Xu Yisong's parents were called in.

It was her father who went to the police station to rescue her. He didn't say anything to her in front of her, but he scolded her when he got back.

But it wasn't because she started the fight. Her father just thought her method was too stupid. There were obviously better ways to deal with it, but she chose the most troublesome one. Most importantly, it was very dangerous and even got herself injured.

This method is indeed stupid, but it is the most direct and most satisfying one for them. Moreover, for students who are in the rebellious period of youth, they certainly prefer this hot-blooded stupid method to thinking.

Quan Zhilong frowned as he listened to it. Although he didn't see it with his own eyes, he could feel the danger just by listening to Xu Yisong's description.

He never thought that his seemingly well-behaved girlfriend would actually be the kind of person who would lead fights when she was a student, but on second thought, it was not strange.

Although Xu Yisong looks small and has a harmless face, if you think carefully about what she has done, you will find that she is extremely courageous.

This was the case with the previous illegitimate incident, and it was also the case when a person investigated those matters later.

He usually looks more obedient than anyone else, but when he gets into trouble, he does it quietly and in a big way. At this moment, G-Dragon suddenly felt a little sympathy for Xu Yisong's father.

"You are really fearless." There is a shallow scar on Xu Yisong's arm. When he asked, Xu Yisong told him that it was left by an accidental injury when she was a child. Only now did he realize that it was caused by this kind of "carelessness".

At his age, he just looked disobedient, but Xu Yisong was actually a real scoundrel.

"I'm much better behaved now." Xu Yisong said as he put the photo album back.

Hearing this, Quan Zhilong just looked at her and said quietly, "I'm afraid she's not much better, is she?"

Meeting Quan Zhilong's gaze, Xu Yisong also remembered what he had been doing recently and the fact that he had just broken up with Quan Zhilong. He was a little embarrassed and whispered to himself to defend himself: "That's the only thing."

"It'd be better if this is the only thing you have done." Quan Zhilong felt upset when he thought of this. He hugged Xu Yisong from behind, buried his head in her shoulder and whispered: "Next time, even if you want to do something dangerous, you must tell me as soon as possible." It would not be okay even if he told him afterwards.

He really didn't dare to agree to Xu Yisong's request to let her talk about it later. He was really afraid that by then it would be too late for him to know.

When Xu Yisong was suddenly hugged, he felt a dull pain in his heart when he heard Quan Zhilong's words.

She really scared him last time.

She placed her hand on the back of Quan Zhilong's hand on her shoulder and promised: "I understand, and this matter will be over soon."

Ava's injury made Xu Yisong realize that he couldn't delay it any longer. In fact, there was a way to solve it quickly, which was to cheat the system.

It’s just that there will be some price to pay for crossing the line.

However, this is just a plan for now, and she wants to continue after the new year.

At least let everyone have a complete New Year celebration.

Quan Zhilong did not move, but held Xu Yisong's hand with his backhand and tightened it slightly. He was really a little afraid that Xu Yisong would suddenly get into trouble like Ava.

He didn't know what Xu Yisong meant when she said that it would be over soon, but he believed her and he could only believe her.

Xu Yisong turned around, hugged Quan Zhilong and said, "Let me tell you a story about my childhood."

Xu Yisong had revealed his stories to Quan Zhilong in bits and pieces before, but this was the first time he took the initiative to talk to him about his past.

People's memories are always changing. As we age, our memories become more and more blurred, but there are always some deep memories that will remain in our minds forever.

And these memories are often painful and always deeper than happy ones.

The same is true of Xu Yisong's memory.
