It was already ten in the morning when Nan Chen woke up.
It had been a while since he had slept so deeply to rise at that hour.
He was an early riser even if he stayed up late to work overtime as he usually did, and rarely did he have the opportunity to sleep in.
There had been too much to do of late, and he was physically and mentally exhausted. It was blissful to have a good night's sleep once he could relax.
After all, Nan Chen was only mortal who required sleep.
Upon waking up, he felt refreshed.
Then, after washing up, he hobbled over to the courtyard with his cane and saw his grandfather practicing Tai Chi.
Nan Chen no longer lived in the villa in Red Maple City since it had been given to Bai Hua and the others. Instead, he took up temporary residence at Commoner Residence.
When Ning Ran and the children returned, they would move to a more luxurious and spacious villa.
Nan Chen felt the blow of impermanence more strongly after the catastrophe and decided to spend more time with his grandfather.
Because of the condition of his legs, Nan Chen could not do strenuous exercises.
He could only manage basic stretches to relax his body while holding on to the tree in the yard for support.
With a final flourish, Nan Zhengde brought his fists down and took the towel handed by Chai Hua. “Let's have breakfast.”
As Nan Chen had been asleep, breakfast time had long passed.
Having expected his grandson to be starving upon waking up, Nan Zhengde had the kitchen prepare lunch. The former had breakfast and lunch as a single meal.
