Chapter 151 Better than anyone else.

When I came out of the old house, I unexpectedly ran into an old lady with a cane standing by the wall, looking over here, squinting her eyes and asking, "Who is it? Who opened the door of Old Shen's house?"

Shen Zhiyi recognized her almost instantly and was quite surprised, "Grandma Zhao?"

She took a few steps closer, and the familiar voice made the other party recognize her. Grandma Zhao raised the cane in her hand tremblingly, trying to see her clearly, "Zhi Yi?"

She watched Shen Zhiyi grow up and had helped Shen Zhiyi many times. When Shen Zhiyi left a few years ago, she had been taken to the city by her son to live in her old age. She didn't know why she came back again.

"It's me," Shen Zhiyi held her hand, "I came back to take a look."

"Good, glad you're back." Grandma Zhao was very happy to see her and asked about her recent situation. Her eyesight was not good and she mistook Pei Yu standing behind her for someone else. "Huo Heng also came back with you? I haven't seen him for many years. I can't recognize him."

Shen Zhiyi was stunned for a moment, and when she saw that she was looking in Pei Yu's direction, she knew that she had mistaken the person, "It's not Huo Heng, grandma, Huo Heng didn't come back."

"Not Huo Heng?"

Grandma Zhao was a little surprised. Shen Zhiyi and Huo Heng had a good relationship since childhood. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were inseparable. She felt sorry for Shen Zhiyi at that time and often took the child in. Huo Heng's parents were not good people either. The two children shared the same suffering and depended on each other. They even left together. Therefore, when she saw the man behind Shen Zhiyi, she subconsciously recognized him as Huo Heng.

With the help of Shen Zhiyi, she walked forward a few steps, squinting her eyes to carefully look at the person in front of her. After a while, she nodded, "It's definitely not Huo Heng. That guy is not that tall. I was mistaken. When people get old, their eyesight doesn't work well anymore."

She patted the back of Shen Zhiyi's hand and asked gently, "Are you still in touch with Huo Heng?"

"No more," Shen Zhiyi shook her head. There was no need to tell the old man about those complicated things. She only vaguely said, "He has been living abroad recently."

"You went abroad?" Grandma Zhao nodded. "You are quite promising. It's just that you two used to have such a good relationship, but now you don't keep in touch. It's a pity."

Shen Zhiyi chatted with her for a while. Grandma Zhao was old, and what she was most worried about were the life events of her younger generations. She thought that now that the two children were grown up, Shen Zhiyi and Huo Heng would have been together a long time ago, but she didn't expect that they had already separated. She felt quite regretful, "Huo Heng was really good to you, it's a pity to miss him. Don't you have any feelings for him at all?"

In fact, she had never mentioned it to anyone else. When the two children went out to study together, Huo Heng had promised her that he would take good care of Shen Zhiyi and was willing to take care of her for the rest of her life.

They were all teenagers at that time, and the meaning of such words was very clear, so it’s no wonder that Grandma Zhao asked this persistently.

Shen Zhiyi was helpless, "Grandma, I've brought the right person home, why are you still mentioning Huo Heng?"

Grandma Zhao was stunned for a moment, and it took her a while to react. She looked at the blurry figure not far away and asked, "He is it?"

"Well," Shen Zhiyi said softly, "I chose it myself, it's better than anyone else's."

Grandma Zhao turned her head and looked at her, "Better than Huo Heng treats you?"

Shen Zhiyi smiled and nodded, "Yeah, he's the best."

"If you say so," Grandma Zhao smiled kindly, "then I think it's good too."

She watched Shen Zhiyi grow up and knew how much suffering the girl had endured in her childhood and how many times she had been beaten unconscious by her father. There were times when the girl might not have survived if neighbors like her had not taken the child to the hospital in time.

It was precisely because she knew how much Shen Zhiyi had suffered that Grandma Zhao always wanted her to find a reliable person. Huo Heng was good because he knew her inside out. However, since she said there was another person who could treat her just as well, there was nothing special about Huo Heng. "I heard that you donated money to the elementary school in our town a few years ago," Grandma Zhao said with a little complaint in her tone, "You know how to contribute to your hometown, but Huo Heng doesn't. I heard that he became a big star, but why doesn't he go back to see where he grew up?"

As she spoke, she sighed, "When he was in junior high school, he wrote an essay saying that when he grew up and made money, he would help build roads in his hometown. The teachers all praised him, and we old people were also pleased to hear that. But after the child grew up, he probably forgot about it a long time ago."

It had been so long since we last met, and Grandma Zhao had a lot to say, but in the end, all she wanted to say was, "Live well and take good care of yourself."

It is said that after all hardship comes happiness, the days of hardship are completely over.

"Okay," Shen Zhiyi hugged her, "Grandma, I'll come see you in two days."

Grandma Zhao insisted on sending them to the village entrance. Before leaving, she held Shen Zhiyi's hand and suddenly said, "I think your partner looks familiar."

Her eyesight was not good, and she tried hard for a long time before she could barely see Pei Yu's outline. She always felt that he was familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere.

"Really?" Shen Zhiyi didn't pay much attention. "Maybe he has seen someone who looks like him."

Grandma Zhao didn't know if this was the case, so she nodded and asked, "What's his name?"

"Pei Yu."

Pei Yu answered this question. He reminded her calmly, "Grandma, don't make a mistake next time."

On the way back, Pei Yu remained silent. Shen Zhiyi looked at his expression and wanted to laugh, "Are you unhappy?"

"No," Pei Yu denied, shook her hand, and said seriously, "I'm considering whether to change my name. Just call me Huo Heng."

"Hey," Shen Zhiyi was both angry and amused by his nonsense, "What nonsense are you talking about."

"I'm not talking nonsense," Pei Yu said slowly without changing his expression, "This way, even if someone finds me wrong again, I can still deceive myself."

"Okay," Shen Zhiyi couldn't get him to stop her, so she had to soften her voice and coax him, "Don't make such a joke. Grandma made a mistake because her eyesight is not good and she can't see clearly. She also thought that my relationship with Huo Heng is as good as before, so she made a mistake for you."

She looked up. "I've already explained it to her."

Pei Yu looked like he was not easy to appease, and asked calmly, "How do you explain it?"

Shen Zhiyi paused for a few seconds pretending to be mysterious, then hooked his finger at him, and Pei Yu bent down to cooperate.

"I said," she whispered in Pei Yu's ear, "the one I chose is the best. Even Huo Heng can't compare to it."

Pei Yu lowered his eyes slightly, and a slight ripple appeared in his originally calm eyes. His smile became more and more intense. "The best?"

"Yes," Shen Zhiyi nodded heavily and repeated it again as if to emphasize, "The best."

The best Pei Yu.
