Chapter 382 Attentive
After the meal.
Lu Yu took Xiao Cheng to the new factory and showed him the fruit wine production workshop. The quality inspector talked to Xiao Cheng about the selection of new fruit varieties and the requirements.
Xiao Cheng chatted with the other party while strolling around, and soon he had walked through the entire production workshop.
The quality inspector exaggerated as they walked, telling Xiao Cheng which machine could only accept which quality of fruit, and that anything slightly inferior would fail the test.
This means reminding Xiao Cheng that the quality of the fruit used to make fruit wine must be even stricter than the previously delivered fruit.
There can be no room for error.
If something goes wrong, the machine will definitely send it back.
Xiao Cheng looked on expressionlessly, seemingly lost in thought, occasionally offering a few words of agreement.
After the new project was finalized, Xiao Cheng explained the precautions to Awen, as well as the things to pay attention to when the fruit arrived at the factory for handover.
Awen kept it all in mind.
He used to work within the city, and this was his first time leading a business trip out of the province, so he had almost no experience.
The market situation and unspoken rules here need to be explained by Xiao Cheng to avoid making mistakes.
...
At the school gate.
Lin Jinfan watched the girl's figure gradually disappear into the distance when a startled exclamation suddenly broke through from beside him.
"What an obedient and innocent little sister!"
"When did our school get such an ethereal beauty? I've never noticed before. Is she a freshman? She must be! No guy could forget a beauty like her who's so pure and otherworldly!"
Qin Feiyu freed one hand from holding the documents, adjusted the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose, and his pupils under the transparent lenses went from clear to dilated in a fleeting glance.
He immediately nudged Lin Jinfan beside him with his elbow, and teased, "Your little girlfriend?"
"After watching you for so long, if I didn't know your personality well, I would have suspected that you would rush out to act as a bodyguard the next second!"
The girl's figure disappeared into the bustling crowd, and Lin Jinfan slowly withdrew his gaze.
He spoke slowly and deliberately: "No."
Qin Feiyu's eyes widened, a flash of ecstasy crossing his face: "Not a little girlfriend! I knew it!"
"How could a studious child like you possibly be in a relationship? You've rejected eight hundred love letters! Even celestial beauties wouldn't catch your eye. By the way, do you know any girls?"
The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the verdant branches and leaves, casting dappled shadows on Lin Jinfan's gentle and refined features, blurring his memories.
Scene after scene...
"Brother Jinfan, I didn't finish my homework yesterday and was kept after school by the teacher... Could you let me copy it?"
"I'll teach you."
Three hours later: "Go ahead and copy it."
The summer afternoon breeze blew leaves onto the girl's slightly trembling shoulders as she sobbed softly.
"What's wrong?"
"My younger brother threw away my zongzi..."
"for you."
"Thank you, Brother Jinfan... I didn't know you could put meat inside zongzi... It's so delicious..."
Summer passes and autumn comes, and winter solstice comes.
"Why didn't you go to school today? Your face... why is your forehead so hot? Why didn't you see a doctor if you were sick?"
"Mom's money is missing. My brother says I stole it, but I didn't. Mom doesn't believe me... She's locked me in my room all day without food or water... The window is broken, and it's so cold with the wind blowing in..."
After a while.
The sound of adults arguing could be heard outside.
The door, which had been locked all day, was finally opened. He took her to see a doctor and to have a meal...
"Jin Fan! I'm talking to you, what are you thinking about! Why aren't you answering? Although we've only known each other for a year, our revolutionary friendship has surpassed a thousand years! Tell me, do you know that girl from earlier?"
Distracted from his thoughts, Lin Jinfan shoved away the waving paws in front of him with displeasure.
"know."
Qin Feiyu's eyes lit up: "What's her name? Is she your sister?"
In the past, Lin Jinfan would have instinctively answered yes, but at this moment, what flashed through his mind was not the timid, sobbing girl's face, but...
The girl's bright, sunny smile made him hesitate for a moment before speaking.
"It's...my younger sister."
With a thud, all the documents fell to the ground.
Qin Feiyu excitedly grabbed Lin Jinfan's shoulder and shouted to him, "My spring has arrived!"
Lin Jinfan: "She has a boyfriend."
Qin Feiyu: "..."
What does it feel like to fall from heaven to hell? — It's over before you even experience it!
"You're lying to me again, aren't you?"
Lin Jinfan: "I'm not lying."
Qin Feiyu didn't believe it: "My sister just walked out of the school gate alone. I saw her disappear and no boy came to pick her up. What kind of boyfriend is so careless as to leave such a coveted girlfriend unattended? Aren't they afraid she'll be snatched away? I definitely couldn't do that!"
Lin Jinfan watched the figure squat down to pick up documents while talking, but didn't intend to help.
I also don't want to mention anything related to Xiao Cheng.
He only repeated that one sentence: "She has a boyfriend."
After picking up the documents, Qin Feiyu pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses to make his eyes appear more intelligent and discerning.
"I don't believe it!"
Lin Jinfan didn't say anything and continued walking forward.
Qin Feiyu chased after him: "Quickly say it's fake, I'll believe you!"
Lin Jinfan: "Really."
Qin Feiyu: "It's fake! Quickly tell me you want me, your super handsome, super nice, super gentle and considerate brother-in-law! I'll believe everything you just said!"
"real."
"Fake!"
"real."
"..."
In the era before mobile phones, the only way to contact each other was by waiting and relying on a tacit understanding.
After Bai Lu finished looking at the small courtyard house, Xiao Cheng still hadn't returned. After she finished looking at the new apartment, he still hadn't returned.
