Chapter 1296: Chapter 1296: Chasing Wife Over a Thousand Miles - Part 1
"Comrade Chu Liyuan, let’s go!" After confirming the specific location, Chu Liyuan naturally couldn’t sit still anymore.
"You little brat, how do you address me? You don’t even call me Grandpa anymore, do you?"
"I’m just following Granny’s instructions. Didn’t her note say that I should tell Comrade Chu Zhiyuan? Is Grandpa not okay with that?
Otherwise, when we find Granny, I’ll give her your feedback and change this name for you?" Chu Liyuan said teasingly while looking at Chu Zhiyuan.
"There’s no need to change it! I think the title ’Comrade Chu’ sounds quite nice. Let’s not change it!" Grandpa conceded without any struggle.
"Is that so? Well~ alright then!" Chu Liyuan’s mouth curled up secretly, "Let’s go then! Aren’t you eager to see your wife?"
"Let’s go, let’s go~ let’s go right now..." Grandpa instantly perked up, and his walking pace quickened a lot.
Since the place was quite far, they had to drive for a long time, and by the time they reached their destination, it was already noon.
The two didn’t eat dinner last night because of their worries and missed breakfast this morning because they heard news of them and rushed out the door. They didn’t stop all the way, so by now, both their stomachs embarrassingly started to growl.
Unfortunately, as far as the eye could see, there were only plants and mountains. There wasn’t even a place to buy things, let alone see any people around.
"Chu Liyuan, do you have anything to eat in your car?" Chu Zhiyuan asked, patting his stomach.
"Do you see my car looks like it has food?" Chu Liyuan coldly responded.
Chu Zhiyuan touched his stomach, swallowing his disappointment.
"Wait, it seems like..." Chu Liyuan suddenly remembered something and opened the glove compartment in front of the passenger seat. Inside, there was a beautifully packaged candy box.
"What is this? Is it pastries?" Chu Zhiyuan exclaimed delightfully as he took out the small box, "This small, huh?" he commented on the tiny box.
"This is the candy I bought for Jian Jian!" A few days ago, he passed by a candy store and specially bought it for Jian Jian, but hadn’t had the chance to give it yet.
"Candy!" Chu Zhiyuan spoke with a hint of disdain.
"If you disdain it, you don’t have to eat it!" saying that, he was about to take the candy box from Chu Zhiyuan’s hand, but Chu Zhiyuan dodged it.
"I’ll eat! I’ll eat! Under these circumstances, it seems like I don’t have the luxury to be picky." Chu Zhiyuan laughed and opened the outer packaging of the candy box, "Huh? Why are they all orange-flavored?"
"Jian Jian likes it!" He popped one into his mouth, revealing a blissful smile.
Chu Liyuan’s mind flashed back to the first time Jian Jian stuffed a lollipop into his mouth.
"Ah! When you’re hungry, indeed anything tastes like a delicacy!" Chu Zhiyuan’s untimely comment broke Chu Liyuan’s reverie.
Chu Liyuan looked at Grandpa with annoyance, "Let’s start searching!" saying so, he took the lead and walked out.
After walking for who knows how long, they saw nothing but green, starting to feel a bit of visual fatigue.
"Grandpa, let’s take a break!" Chu Liyuan spoke to Chu Zhiyuan.
He was anxious, but he needed to take care of Grandpa’s health. This high level of physical exertion was a bit too much for the ninety-year-old man, even though Grandpa was in good shape.
"I just feel like something’s missing in my heart if I don’t keep searching for Mo Qingqin."
"But..."
"Don’t ’but’ me, I know my body well, I can keep going for a while longer." saying that, he continued walking forward.
Seeing Grandpa’s increasingly weary back, Chu Liyuan frowned, "Comrade Chu, I command you to rest now!" Chu Liyuan said somewhat forcefully.
"Now you’re giving me orders!" Chu Zhiyuan tossed back this phrase without turning around, his steps didn’t stop.
Seeing this, Chu Liyuan was about to step forward to stop him, but then he heard...
