Expect The Unexpected
Things we really want to avoid tend to find us eventually. Even though Song Xin'ai was clear about this, she still didn't expect to run into Elder Xiang so soon. If possible, she didn't want to face him.
For a moment, she couldn't decide whether to run or stay.
"It's so good to see you here, Professor Song," said Grandfather Xiang. And he wasn't being sarcastic at all. She couldn't tell what mood he was in to see her here because all she saw was kindness on his face.
That's odd.
Once upon a time, he was so majestic and intimidating that she dared not even look into his eyes. But now, he looked like a kind old man? What a surprise.
But thinking about what he had gone through in his life, it wasn't all that surprising too. He had gone through so many phases of life. Losing all his family when he was young, losing his ability to walk, and being unable to defend his country, he even had to lose his own wife.
