Li Yanchen didn't speak; instead, he went straight upstairs to his grandfather's study.
The call had come from his grandfather.
Since he was back, placating his grandfather should suffice, after which he could leave.
Before coming, Aunt Su had mentioned... the little girl would be back soon, to celebrate his birthday.
He didn't want her to wait too long.
In the study, Old Master Li, looking fatigued, sat at his desk, writing in bold characters.
When the door was knocked, he said indifferently, "Come in."
Knowing that it was the boy who had returned, Old Master Li didn't even lift his head, continuing to write his characters.
Li Yanchen, very patiently, waited for him to finish writing the character "endure" before he spoke, "Grandfather's brushwork isn't what it used to be."
Old Master Li gave him a disgruntled look and retorted, "Don't all people age? The older you get, the less strength you have!"
