"Mom, what time did you get home last night?"

Looking at Lin Li, whose lips were tightly pursed and whose face was dark, Lin Laosan asked anxiously.

"Three o'clock in the morning!"

Lin Li returned to her bedroom, took out her toiletries, and looked unhappy.

Going abroad is really uncomfortable; it messes up my biological clock, and I can't do anything.

Seeing Lin Li's angry expression, Lin Laosan and the two little ones exchanged glances and began to question each other.

"What did you do to upset Grandma?"

"Third Uncle, we didn't, we were very well-behaved. It must be you who didn't take Professor Chen's experiments seriously at school..."

Upon hearing Lin Hu's words, Lin Laosan immediately covered his mouth and whispered.

"Good boy, don't tell your grandma everything..."

Before the words were finished, Lin Li's voice came from behind.

"What do you need to tell me...?"

"Grandma, Uncle didn't behave himself in Professor Chen's lab last week and got reported!"

Lin Laosan: ...Why is there another one who talks too much?

Lin Yao jogged over to Lin Li's side, pointed with his little finger in the direction where Lin Lao San was covering Lin Hu's mouth, and whispered.

"Professor Chen came to your door to complain, but you weren't there..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Li's lips curled up, and she looked at Lin Laosan with a serious expression.

He couldn't help but shudder at the sight.

My mother's eyes are terrifying!

He hurriedly released Lin Hu, walked nervously to Lin Li, and lowered his head, not daring to speak.

"Tell me, why are you being disobedient?"

"Grandma, Uncle skipped class..."

Lin Hu, one of the most tattletales, immediately chimed in.

Lin Yao nodded vigorously beside him: "Tiger Brother and I overheard it outside."

"Wow, not bad! You've learned how to skip class?"

Lin Li's voice rose at the end, her tone carrying dissatisfaction, which made Lin Laosan feel uneasy.

"Something happened at Jia Jiaojiao's family's house, and I rushed over to help in a hurry, forgetting to ask Professor Chen for leave..."

Lin Laosan's voice grew softer and softer, and at the end he even glanced nervously at Lin Li's face.

"Jia Jiaojiao?"

"She's a very pretty older sister, and she even has two braids..."

Lin Yao spoke before Lin Hu could.

Lin Laosan: Can we take these two tattletales with us?

"Yeah, Yao Yao and I saw it at the alley entrance last time. That pretty lady was really fierce. She was yelling at Uncle San!"

Lin Li: ...?

Lin Laosan: Where's the crevice in the ground?

Lin Li saw Lin Laosan's face turn red instantly, his hands awkwardly clutching his clothes, and his eyes darkening.

He put the washcloth into the basin and looked at Lin Laosan with a serious expression.

"Tell me, what happened?"

Lin Laosan stammered, glancing at the two little ones every now and then.

"You all go and study. Your third uncle and I have something to discuss!"

Lin Hu: ...

Lin Yao: ...

I don't want them to hear! Humph.

"Don't come over and eavesdrop. Grandma's ears are very sharp. I can hear you if you get too close."

The two little eyes, which were rolling around, suddenly stopped.

Well! The plan has been foiled.

After giving a dejected reply, the two went back to their rooms to study.

Lin Li led Lin Laosan back to her room, pointed to the stool, watched Lin Laosan sit down, closed the door, walked over, and sat down.

"Tell me, what's the deal with this Jia Jiaojiao?"

Lin Laosan rubbed his hands together on the table and said in a low voice.

"Jia Jiaojiao was the girl who tried to cut in line to get food coupons when school started..."

As soon as Lin Laosan finished speaking, the image of that girl appeared before Lin Li's eyes.

She's very pretty, but she also has a spoiled attitude; she doesn't seem like a girl who's easy to get along with.

“From then on, she was often around me, either asking me questions or bringing me breakfast…”

Lin Li: ...?

"Later, everyone said that Jia Jiaojiao had fallen for me and was pursuing me! I didn't believe it at first, but then one time, she actually brought me a flower and said she liked me and wanted to be my girlfriend..."

"Then what?"

"I was scared and ran away..."

Lin Li: You're amazing!

"After that, she appeared more and more frequently, and I think I started to like her a little. Her image would appear in my mind from time to time."

"Then she started ignoring you and disappeared..."

Just as Lin Laosan was about to continue speaking, he heard Lin Li's voice drifting over.

His eyes widened in shock as he stared at Lin Li.

"Mom, how did you know?"

"I also know that you went and confessed your feelings to her, and then she said she didn't like you and was just teasing you..."

Lin Laosan kept nodding, but his eyes widened more and more.

"She was definitely just teasing you..."

Lin Li's words instantly deflated Lin Laosan's spirits, and he sat dejectedly at the table with his lips tightly pressed together.

"Or you could say that she never liked you. I don't know why she deliberately teased you to make you like her."

"She said it was because I was the first man to refuse her advances, that's why..."

Now that you know, what are your thoughts?

"I...I don't know. I know I shouldn't like her anymore, but when she's in trouble and asks me for help, I can't help but run to her!"

Lin Laosan slapped his head in frustration, his eyes reddening, and tears immediately rolled down his cheeks.
