Chapter 13 I Like Him

He Yuwen secretly sent a message to He Chi: [He Chi, go home and apologize to your mother, explain clearly what happened, and don't be so willful in the future.]

He Chi was driving when the phone in his pocket vibrated. He simply threw the phone to Jiang Yining.

She is his wife now, so it is normal for her to reply to messages on his behalf.

Jiang Yining looked at He Chi with a confused expression.

His voice was a little lazy. "Please help me check the information."

Jiang Yining said "oh", his face calm, but his heart was filled with an indescribable feeling.

She didn't know the password, and when she asked, she heard He Chi say, "The password is in the shape of the English letter L."

Jiang Yining opened He Chi's phone, saw Teacher He's WeChat message, and read it directly to He Chi.

"Please reply for me. Say 'Got it'."

Jiang Yining replied to Teacher He as He Chi requested. After replying the message, she also became worried.

Things seemed to be more difficult to deal with than she had imagined. She originally thought she still had time to prepare, but she didn't expect Teacher Lin to find out about He Chi's marriage certificate so quickly.

Jiang Yining returned to Teacher Lin with a nervous mood. In contrast, He Chi was as calm as if nothing had happened.

At the door, Jiang Yining deliberately slowed down his pace and hid behind He Chi quietly.

He Chi looked back at her, and seeing that she was worried, he comforted her, "Don't be afraid, Teacher Lin won't eat people."

"I know."

Jiang Yining was not worried that Teacher Lin would blame her, but she was afraid that Teacher Lin would be disappointed in her.

He Chi would not understand her cautiousness.

The two were talking when Teacher He opened the door without saying hello.

He was tall and was standing by the door, completely blocking Jiang Yining behind him.

Hearing the door open, He Chi turned around and saw Teacher He and called out, "Dad."

Teacher Lin also came over with a feather duster in his hand. He Chi felt helpless. He was already at this age, but he still had to be beaten by his parents.

"mom."

"From today on, I am no longer your mother."

Jiang Yining shuddered slightly. She was afraid that Teacher Lin would say to her the next second, "Jiang Yining, from today on, I am no longer your teacher."

Like a student who had done something wrong, she slowly leaned forward, her voice a little nervous, "Teacher Lin."

Looking at the couple's white shirts, if you don't understand what's going on, the couple has lived in vain for decades.

Lin Shu and He Yuwen were both incredulous, "Yining?"

Jiang Yining lowered his head and took the initiative to admit his mistake, "Teacher Lin, I'm sorry."

Their hands touched gently, and He Chi took Jiang Yining's hand and moved her aside, "Mom, this is my fault."

Her hand was held, and Jiang Yining lowered her eyes to take a look. He Chi's palm was very large, completely covering her hand, and the skin color of the two formed a sharp contrast.

However, Jiang Yining didn't have the energy to think about it at the moment.

Lin Shu was surprised and delighted, but then his rationality was replaced by anger. "Of course it's your fault, He Chi. Get out of here and go to the study."

But to Jiang Yining, Lin Shu's voice was unbelievably gentle, "Yining, come in and sit for a while."

Perhaps because he was worried that he would scare Jiang Yining, Lin Shu forced a smile. When he looked at He Chi, the look of disappointment in his eyes was almost overflowing.

Jiang Yining glanced uneasily at the closed study door.

He Yuwen made a pot of tea. His wife's most beloved student became his daughter-in-law. To be honest, He Yuwen never thought that the situation would turn out like this.

"Yining, have a cup of tea first. Don't worry. Your teacher Lin will just give him a few scoldings at most."

He Yuwen and Jiang Yining were the only ones in the living room. He Yuwen didn't know what to say to her. He glanced at the time and it was almost noon.

"I'll go to the market to buy some vegetables and cook for you and He Chi at noon."

Jiang Yining was also having trouble figuring out how to be alone with Teacher He, and she understood that he was giving her some space, so she said, "Thank you, Teacher He."

After He Yuwen left, Jiang Yining put down his teacup and stood up.

Just now, Teacher Lin entered the study room with a feather duster. Jiang Yining was worried that He Chi would really be beaten, so he walked over lightly.

At this moment, in the study, Lin Shu didn't know where to start. She looked at He Chi in front of her. He inherited his father's facial features, deep and tough, but his temperament was different from both of them.

He Chi has been unruly and arrogant since he was a child. He refused to follow his family's arrangements. Later, he insisted on becoming a special police officer and almost couldn't come back from a mission.

Ling Yan and He Chi have been brothers for many years. They joined the police force together. During that mission, Ling Yan unfortunately died.

Because of this incident, He Chi's grandmother refused to let He Chi stay in the team and went on a hunger strike to force He Chi to leave the police force.

She also worried a lot about her son. Even if she didn't want to, she turned a blind eye and let He Chi choose the life he liked.

Lin Shu suppressed his temper and said calmly, "He Chi, you shouldn't have dragged Yining into this mess. Yining hasn't had an easy time these past few years."

He Chi was silent. His parents were both teachers and were used to a stable and steady life. In their eyes, he was being rebellious if he didn't do what they asked.

He spoke calmly, "Mom, I know, but I'm really not fooling around this time. Jiang Yining and I got the certificate after careful consideration."

"I didn't tell you first because I was afraid you wouldn't agree to us getting married."

Lin Shu snorted, "You still want to get married even though you know I don't agree?"

Hearing this, He Chi chuckled, "Mom, look at what you said. If you don't agree, I can't get married?"

He Chi added, "The Qing Dynasty has fallen, and marriage is now independent."

Seeing that he refused to admit his mistake, Lin Shu got angry and said, "You should be more responsible in your marriage, He Chi. You're almost thirty years old, and you're still acting so frivolously!"

"How do you know I'm not serious about marriage?"

Lin Shu couldn't help but throw a feather duster at He Chi. "If you were serious, you wouldn't have quietly dragged Yining to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get the marriage certificate. How many times have you two met?"

"Yining is a good child. She can find someone who understands her and loves her. You are harming her!"

He Chi didn't dodge, but just stood there and let Teacher Lin swing the feather duster at him. The pain was nothing to him.

Hearing the noise inside, Jiang Yining hurriedly opened the study door and stood in front of He Chi, "Teacher, don't blame He Chi, I was the one who suggested getting the marriage certificate."

Lin Shu didn't believe it at all. "Yining, don't help him shirk responsibility. I must teach this rebellious son a lesson today."

Jiang Yining spoke faster than his brain could handle, "I'm not lying, I like him."

He Chi glanced down with interest at Jiang Yining who was standing in front of him.

This excuse was quite good and it frightened Teacher Lin.

Jiang Yining said again with certainty, "Teacher, I really like He Chi, otherwise I wouldn't get married with him."

Lin Shu's mind was in a mess. She looked at Jiang Yining and asked again uncertainly, "Yining, don't lie to me, do you really like He Chi?"

Jiang Yining nodded solemnly.

Lin Shu's gaze left Jiang Yining and fell on He Chi behind her. He looked back and forth at the two of them in disbelief.

It's as if to say, "What's so good about this guy that you like him?"

But apart from anything else, He Chi is handsome, with a tall and straight figure, and his appearance is quite attractive to girls, but he has a cold and hard personality and is not considerate.

Lin Shu looked at He Chi, "What about you?"

He Chi had no choice but to follow Jiang Yining's excuse and said, "I like her too."
