"Just remember it, just remember it." Li Hongying continued, "You don't know how much she has changed since I saw her last time."
Her tone was full of regret: "He was so skinny that he was just a bag of bones, and he didn't like to smile anymore."
"Do you know why she became like this?"
Before Lin Shu could answer, Li Hongying continued, "It turns out her husband passed away a few years ago, leaving her with only one daughter to depend on. Life has been very difficult."
"I was thinking, your father lost his wife, she lost her husband, isn't it just right, they—"
"Mom." Lin Shu interrupted her, feeling depressed for some reason.
"What, what's the matter?"
Lin Shu's chest rose and fell rapidly, and she slowly exhaled: "I can't control Dad's affairs."
She didn't even know what she said: "You can ask him what he means."
"But--"
"Mom, I'm tired. Let's go to bed early." Lin Shu's tone was a little stiff.
She really didn't want to continue this topic now.
"Okay, alright." As if she understood what she meant, Li Hongying didn't say anything else.
The dim room returned to silence, and only the faint breathing of the two people could be heard.
Lin Shu closed his eyes and had no desire to sleep.
She missed Han Yan, at this moment, she missed him so much.
Right now.
On a tree somewhere in the distance.
Han Yan, who was leaning against a tree with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes.
He stared at the stars in the sky through the branches, his mouth moving as if he was whispering or sighing: "Shu'er..."
The next morning.
Lin Shu sent Li Hongying and Lin Hui to the car.
Along the way, Li Hongying looked at Lin Shu from time to time.
Lin Shu pretended not to notice.
Lin Hui, who was always careless, noticed the abnormality between them and looked at them curiously from time to time.
Before getting in the car, Li Hongying sighed, "Shu'er, Mom...I'm being nosy. Don't take it to heart."
She looked apologetic.
Lin Shu was stunned: "Mom, I..."
She didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Okay." Li Hongying took Lin Shu's hand and said, "Take good care of yourself. Come back when you have time."
Lin Shu's nose and eyes felt sore instantly: "Okay."
"Mom, you have to take care of yourself too."
"good."
The two smiled at each other.
Lin Shu watched the car driving farther and farther away, and his mind couldn't help but think of what Li Hongying said last night.
She was slightly lost in thought, her mind in turmoil...
If Han Yan were here, he would tell her what to do.
When Lin Shu returned downstairs, he saw Instructor Gao’s wife, Chen Lin, walking towards him.
"Xiao Shushu." Chen Lin walked up to Lin Shu with a bright smile and gave her a bear hug. "Long time no see. Did you miss me?"
Lin Shu couldn't help but feel happy: "Of course I do."
“Yeah.”
The two looked at each other for a while and couldn't help laughing.
"When did Sister Chen come back?"
The two walked up the stairs hand in hand.
"Just got back." Chen Lin said with a smile, "You're touched, right? I came to see you as soon as I got back. Even my husband Gao was in line behind you."
Lin Shu chuckled and said, "It's my honor."
"Of course."
The two looked at each other and couldn't help but giggle.
The door was opened from the inside.
Han Xue poked her head out happily: "Second sister-in-law, you come back——"
When she saw Chen Lin, her expression instantly changed and she smiled shyly: "Second sister-in-law."
"Xiaoxue."
"Oh." Chen Lin's eyes lit up, and she reached out and gently touched Han Xue's face, "Where did this beautiful girl come from?"
Han Xue's eyes widened instantly, and she took several steps back like a frightened little rabbit.
"Hahaha." Chen Lin laughed.
Lin Shu wanted to hold his forehead.
Han Xue looked at Lin Shu helplessly.
Lin Shu gave her a reassuring look: "This is Sister Chen. She means no harm."
"Yes, yes, yes." Chen Lin wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, "I'm sorry for scaring you."
The corners of her mouth curled up slightly in a serious manner, looking like a cold and arrogant beauty.
Chen Lin walked into the house and glanced around the hall, praising it as he looked at it: "These furniture and furnishings were all designed by you, right? They are really nice."
"Yeah, of course." Lin Shu said without any modesty.
"Tsk tsk, Xiao Shushu, you have changed."
"A red flower becomes redder when it is near a red flower, and a black flower becomes blacker when it is near a black flower. I learned this from you."
"Oh, I'm afraid he learned it from your old Han."
"My old Han is very modest."
“…”
The two of them started laughing again as they talked.
Han Xue looked surprised when she saw this, as if it was the first time she saw Lin Shu like this.
Lin Shu made three cups of coffee. This was the one Chen Lin had given him earlier.
Han Xue took a sip, frowned slightly, and then her eyes lit up.
Chen Lin sat down, took a sip of coffee, and stared at Han Xue with sparkling eyes. Sometimes the corners of her mouth would rise slightly, and sometimes her brows would frown slightly.
Lin Shu knew that she had some new design inspiration.
As if she had been stared at for too long, a faint blush appeared on Han Xue's face, her eyes were half closed, and her eyelashes trembled.
Lin Shu coughed lightly.
She was afraid that if this continued, the little girl would run away.
"What's wrong, Xiao Shushu? Is your throat uncomfortable?" Chen Lin glanced at Lin Shu and then stared at Han Xue and asked.
Lin Shu looked at her with a smile.
"Okay, okay, I won't watch it anymore." Chen Lin finally looked away, his face full of regret.
Han Xue let out a light breath and relaxed completely.
