When a snail falls in love | Liskook

Chapter 67

During autumn, the sky in Beijing was magnificently clear and blue, and the sun was dry yet warm. It was a pleasant time of the year that everyone looked forward to.

There were already a few cars waiting on the tarmac when Jungkook and Lisa landed—one from his home, another from his grandfather's, and a third which Jimin and a few of his childhood friends stood by.

Upon seeing this, Lisa glanced at Jungkook as he had always been very low profile, yet here he was today with a huge entourage; clearly it was intentional.

Jungkook wore a black windbreaker that she had bought for him, it had neat cutting and a clean design which matched his tall and slender physique, successfully bringing out the attractive and cool side of him. As if suddenly picking up on Lisa's thoughts, he silently gripped her hand tighter and walked towards everyone with a faint smile on his lips.

Jimin and the others greeted Jungkook with hugs, and when they saw Lisa, they purposely bowed to her respectfully. "Sister-in-law, you're here, your wonderful presence has graced all of us", "Don't leave anymore since you're here, we've missed you so much."

Lisa was not falling for their smooth talk and just smiled shyly while Jungkook hugged her waist and knocked on the hood of Jimin's car. "We'll be going to my grandfather's house first, we'll meet you after two days."

"Alright. Sister-in-law, make a list of what you'd like to eat and do, we'll go to hell and back for you without hesitation, we'll even pluck the stars in the sky for you..."

Lisa could not help but laugh as Jungkook did the same too. "It's not for you to pluck stars for her, let's go."

Their car sped through the highway and soon arrived at his grandfather's house.

They walked through a large courtyard located right in the middle of the city; it was shaded with Chinese parasol trees and the long walkway stretched out impressively in front of them. Jungkook carried the presents while holding Lisa's hand as they walked straight in, and since the security guards and nursemaids had been here for many years, they smiled when they saw him. "Jungkook, you're back? This is your girlfriend, right?"

Jungkook smiled and nodded, let Lisa greet them accordingly, then asked. "Where's grandfather?"

"Sir has gone to sunbath in the backyard after he woke up from his afternoon nap, he has been waiting for you for a long time."

Lisa followed Jungkook into the backyard, where they saw an old man sitting on a chair under the trees, with the sunlight enveloping his whole body. He was wearing an extremely plain-looking blue shirt with loose cotton pants and looked calm and kind.

Jungkook walked over then bowed and said gently, "Grandfather, I brought Lisa back to meet you."

The old man was elated upon seeing him. "It's good that you're back." He then turned slowly to look at Lisa.

Lisa looked back at him as well. The old man was in his eighties, but he had a body as tall and as well-built as Jungkook's. She could see some similar features between him and Jungkook on his wrinkle-covered face. A cunning thought appeared in Lisa's head as she thought to herself, 'If Jungkook looks like that when he turns old, then he still won't be half bad.'

Jungkook turned to look at Lisa. "Call him grandfather."

Lisa said, "Nice to meet you, grandfather."

His grandfather nodded gently, then he asked Lisa about her age, studies and family background. When he heard that her father was a professor, he said to Jungkook, "A family of scholars, later on ask your eldest brother to go to Lin City and pay a visit in place of me. After all, we must not forget our manners." Jungkook had nothing to worry after seeing his grandfather behave in such a way as he nodded continuously with a smile; Lisa's mood was similarly lifted up too.
