"Oh, right. I ran into your father during summer break, at the Xinhua Bookstore." Thinking of that encounter, Tan You suddenly said, "Teacher, you and your father are really alike."
"Both of you are so stern and serious, but you're also both cold on the outside and warm on the inside. Did Grandpa Tang mention me after he got home?"
Old Tang was taken aback for a moment. "He didn't mention you by name, but one time he came home and said he'd met a little girl. He told me I might be in for a surprise when school started. Don't tell me this was it?"
Tan You gave a faint smile. "Back then, I specifically begged Grandpa Tang not to tell you he'd met me. Until you could see that I had turned over a new leaf, I didn't have the courage to face you."
