Chapter 193 Chapter 193 [Jinjiang Exclusive, Yuan Mingxu went to...
After the two returned to their room, Lin Yimu thought of the flash of crystal that he had seen, and picked up his phone with some concern and sent a message to his father.
Then, he looked at He Xiuji beside him and said anxiously, "I seemed to see my mother crying just now."
He Xiuji stepped forward and hugged Lin Yimu in his arms, comforting him, "Don't worry, I think Mom is happy that you have found your lifelong partner, so she feels a little emotional. If you are really worried, let's go out and take a look?"
Lin Yimu thought about it after hearing this, and felt that his father should already be comforting his mother at this moment, and it might not be appropriate for them to go over there at this time, so he shook his head.
Seeing that Lin Yimu didn't want to go over now, he didn't say much. He just saw the other party using his mobile phone to send a message, which should be to Lin's father.
The two of them took a nap in the room for a while. When Lin Yimu got up, He Xiuji was no longer in bed.
He picked up his phone and found that it was already four o'clock in the afternoon. He had only slept for two hours. It would probably be difficult for him to fall asleep tonight.
Putting down his phone, Lin Yimu went to the bathroom to wash his face, walked out of the room and looked around, and saw He Xiuji playing chess with his father sitting at the table on the balcony.
Lin Yimu walked over slowly, sat next to He Xiuji, looked at the chess on the table, and asked casually: "Dad, where is my mom? When did you get up? How long have you been playing with Dad?" The last two sentences were asked to He Xiuji.
"I'm not used to taking a nap, so I got up after lying down for half an hour. I played chess with my dad for almost an hour, and the first game hasn't even been finished yet."
The moment Lin Yimu finished speaking, He Xiuji answered his questions one by one, as if he was reporting his itinerary.
This proficiency made Lin's father unable to help but look sideways. He looked up at them, then lowered his head to look at the chessboard. He put down the chess in his hand and said, "Your mother went out shopping with her friends." He looked at the alarm clock and said, "She will probably be back soon."
"Are you still going out shopping in such a cold day?" Lin Yimu looked at the sun outside that sometimes appeared and sometimes disappeared. He didn't really want to go out in this kind of weather.
The winter sun in Yancheng gives people a soft feeling even when the weather is clear, not to mention the current sunlight that is blocked by clouds from time to time, making it impossible to feel any warmth.
Upon hearing this, Father Lin replied as if it was normal: "You are still young and don't understand. People of our age go shopping to buy daily necessities and the like. Basically, we go wherever there is a discount. There is a new supermarket not far from our community, and it has an opening discount, so your mother went shopping with her friends."
Lin Yimu nodded to show that he understood. Although his life has become good now, he also lived frugally when he had no money in his previous life. He even learned from some uncles and aunts how to choose economical and affordable things.
He also relied on these skills to get through his hard-pressed days when he was poor and had no work to do. Later, he occasionally got some supporting roles, and even after his life gradually improved, he did not change this habit.
In fact, he has continued this habit until now.
However, Lin Yimu, who had never experienced any setbacks in his life, should not know these things, so he just nodded and didn't say much.
Instead, He Xiuji, who was sitting next to them, showed a hint of interest in the conversation between the father and son.
Although he had experienced some setbacks, he had never lived in financial difficulty, so he had never participated in any of the supermarket discount activities that ordinary people would go to.
Lin Yimu noticed He Xiuji's intention and looked at the sky outside. As he had just woken up, he didn't want to go out.
But thinking of what he said before coming back, that he would spend the New Year with him, he stood up, stretched lazily without any image, and said, "Dad, don't play chess for now, why don't we go to the supermarket and buy some toiletries for Aji."
Upon hearing this, Father Lin glanced at his lazy son, clicked his tongue in disdain, and looked at He Xiuji who had already stood up, and also turned his eyes away in disdain.
But he still put down the chess piece in his hand and stood up.
Seeing his father's look of disdain, Lin Yimu grinned, not realizing that he was being disdainful at all. After pulling He Xiuji, he pushed his father towards the door.
He didn't want to go out alone, but he would be happy if he could get someone to go out with him.
The three of them walked all the way to the supermarket in the biting cold wind. Seeing so many means of transportation blocking the road in front of the supermarket, Lin Yimu and his father were used to it, while He Xiuji showed a rare expression of surprise on his face.
He Xiuji's surprised expression continued until he walked into the supermarket. Looking at the crowded supermarket, He Xiuji hesitated for a rare moment.
Now that it's nearly the end of the year, everyone has started preparing for the New Year. Plus, this newly opened supermarket has discounts, so it's so crowded that there's no place to stand.
Lin Yimu was also a person who was afraid of trouble. Standing at the entrance and looking at the endless crowd of people, he felt a little regretful.
However, Mr. Lin looked at the crowded supermarket with a calm expression and pushed a small cart to walk in.
Seeing the two people still standing there without moving, he smiled and said, "Let's go. Since we are here, we might as well buy everything before going back to save the trouble of running back and forth."
After hearing Lin's father's words "since we're already here", Lin Yimu and He Xiuji looked at each other and had no choice but to follow.
However, the two of them were just one step slower than Lin's father, and they got separated from each other not long after entering the supermarket. Even He Xiuji's suit was wrinkled by the crowd, and when he came out, even his leather shoes were stepped on and became dirty.
However, the two of them bought everything they needed. After squeezing out of the crowd with difficulty, they looked at each other and were amused by each other's embarrassed appearance.
After laughing, the two of them lined up to pay the bill.
While waiting, Lin Yimu asked He Xiuji to look at the location first, then took out his cell phone to contact his parents to see if they had come out.
I called several times but no one answered. I didn’t know if he was still in the supermarket.
Finally, it was their turn to pay the bill. Lin Yimu, who hadn't been able to get through to Lin's parents on the phone, had no choice but to give up and plan to pay the bill first and go home.
After returning home, Lin Yi Mu found that his parents had not come back yet. Seeing that it was already six o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Yi Mu and He Xiu Ji had to prepare dinner first.
Before preparing dinner, Lin Yimu called Yuan Mingxu and asked him if he wanted to come over for dinner in the evening.
When he came back in the morning, Lin Yimu wanted him to have dinner at home before going back, but Yuan Mingxu refused. Now he invited him again, but Yuan Mingxu still refused.
After getting a rejection, Lin Yimu felt somewhat puzzled. Looking at He Xiuji, whose expression did not change at all, he could not help but ask.
"Why didn't you come to dinner? I asked you to stay at noon but you didn't agree. I called you at night but you still didn't agree. There must be a reason, right?"
Yuan Mingxu hesitated for a moment after hearing this, and quietly sent a message to ask if He Xiuji was with him. After getting the answer that he was, he said directly: "I don't want to disturb you. You two are meeting your parents to celebrate the New Year together, what can I do if I go? It would be bad if my aunt misunderstood that my uncle brought a family with him before getting married."
Lin Yimu was speechless for a moment after hearing this unreliable answer. He looked at He Xiuji who was washing vegetables by the sink, then walked out of the kitchen with his cell phone.
Arriving in the living room, Lin Yimu sat down on the sofa and said, "Okay, now that your uncle is not around, you can always tell me this, right?"
Hearing this, Yuan Mingxu, who was racking his brains for what to say, relaxed instantly, sighed, and said with a headache: "It's not convenient for me to go out for lunch today. I wanted to relax and rest at noon, but now I just encountered something that made it inconvenient."
When Lin Yimu heard Yuan Mingxu say that he had encountered a problem, his originally relaxed expression turned into worry, and he asked anxiously: "What happened to you? Do you need help? If you encounter a problem, you must tell us so that we can help you."
Yuan Mingxu could hear the concern and anxiety in Lin Yimu's words. He was afraid that he would make a wrong guess and tell his uncle later, so he quickly explained, "Hey, don't worry, this is not a big deal. It's just that those hooligans who I taught a lesson before came to find me. Don't tell my uncle about this!"
After explaining, Yuan Mingxu did not forget to remind Lin Yimu to keep it a secret.
When Lin Yimu heard that some gangsters were looking for trouble with Yuan Mingxu, he remembered the first time they met. At that time, he was covered in wounds and it was he who called an ambulance for him.
Thinking of this, Lin Yimu couldn't help but think of Yuan Mingxu's tattered appearance at that time, and he was even more worried.
He immediately asked, "What happened? How did those thugs find you? Do you have any grudges with them? How come they knew about it as soon as you came back?"
Lin Yimu bombarded Yuan Mingxu on the other end of the phone with a series of questions, leaving him overwhelmed.
After Lin Yimu finished speaking, he waited for a while. Seeing that Lin Yimu did not speak again, he asked tentatively, "Are you done?"
"Yeah." Lin Yimu responded softly, so Yuan Mingxu couldn't tell what his tone and attitude were, so after thinking about it, he told him about his experience with those gangsters.
It turned out that when Lin Yimu met the injured Yuan Mingxu in the alley, he had just had a fight with those thugs. He beat seven or eight of them alone. Although he was injured, those guys didn't get any good results at all.
As for why he, a young man from a wealthy family, would come into conflict with a group of thugs, the fundamental reason was that he was a transfer student from outside the area, but he acted very high-profile and ostentatious.
As a wealthy man, Yuan Mingxu's food, clothing, housing and transportation were very eye-catching, which made these hooligans who had nothing to do all day and only wanted to steal things from some good students very jealous.
Then, on the night that Lin Yimu met him, a group of people blocked Yuan Mingxu who was trying to take a shortcut home.
The purpose is also very clear, robbery.
Yuan Mingxu was not one of those weak and cowardly students. After he clearly refused to give the money, seven or eight people from the other side rushed up and not only robbed Yuan Mingxu of his money, but also beat him up. Of course, they didn't get anything good either.
Afterwards, Lin Yimu called an ambulance to send him to the hospital and even paid for his medical bills. This was also the fundamental reason why the two met.
After Yuan Mingxu recovered, while he was busy participating in the competition, he did not forget to find someone to teach those thugs a lesson.
During their training camp, the thugs who had been causing trouble for Yuan Mingxu would be troubled by others from time to time, and they were often covered in injuries until the end of their training camp.
After that, Yuan Mingxu went to participate in the IMO competition, and no one bothered them anymore, so they let the matter go.
When Yuan Mingxu returned to Yancheng to celebrate the New Year, he didn't think about this matter at all.
After parting with Lin Yimu, he went straight home. After eating lunch made by his aunt and resting for a while, he originally wanted to go to a nearby supermarket to buy some daily necessities and some gifts by the way, so as not to be rude the next time he went to Lin Yimu's house.
Who could have thought that it would be such a coincidence.
When Yuan Mingxu finished shopping and drove away, one of the gangsters happened to see his profile flash by.
Perhaps it was because of Yuan Mingxu's heroic style when fighting one against eight people at that time that left a deep impression on the other party. The moment he saw Yuan Mingxu, the other party was smart enough to take a taxi and follow him quietly.
After finding out Yuan Mingxu's address, he called several other people over.
After listening to Yuan Mingxu's story, Lin Yimu frowned and asked worriedly, "You know so much? They followed you to your doorstep? Are you not hurt?"
Yuan Mingxu: "Don't worry, I'm fine. Even if they follow me to the gate of the community, they can't get in. The security of our community is not just talk."
"Aren't you curious about how I knew this?" Yuan Mingxu couldn't help laughing. "Those idiots followed me all the way back. When they got to the gate of the community and couldn't get in, they thought of following other people and pretending to be residents. As a result, they were detected as not residents of the community as soon as they entered the security check gate, and then they were caught by the security guards."
"The confused state of those people at the time was really hilarious, haha." Yuan Mingxu couldn't help laughing again.
Lin Yimu listened to the whole thing with trepidation, fearing that something might happen.
Hearing that the other party could still laugh heartlessly, he couldn't help but roll his eyes at the air and said unhappily: "That's enough! You can laugh at such a dangerous thing. Fortunately, they are not smart. What if they were smart and attacked you halfway?"
After saying this, Lin Yimu thought that the matter might not be over yet, otherwise Yuan Mingxu would not have agreed to come to his house for dinner, so he asked: "What happened next? What's the situation now?"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Mingxu, who was originally laughing, suddenly became stuck and started coughing uncontrollably on the other end of the phone.
After coughing for a long time, he sighed and said, "Although they can't get in, they haven't left. They are guarding the gate of the community not too far away. I originally planned to go out through the back door, but they even figured out the back door, and there are people guarding the front and back."
"They want the security guards to chase them away. They haven't done anything unruly, so it's not easy for them to do anything."
Yuan Mingxu said this and sighed again.
Lin Yimu's expression was not very good after hearing this. After thinking for a while, he said, "They have been blocking the door and you can't get out. This is not very convenient for you. Why don't you stay at my house? Anyway, the room I prepared before is still there. Besides, Aji is here too. We will feel more at ease if you stay here."
Yuan Mingxu shook his head to refuse, and then realized that Lin Yimu couldn't see him, so he quickly refused.
"Let's not do that. Although I don't know why these hooligans would bet on me, I have nothing to worry about at home. On the contrary, because of the perfect security system, I am the safest here. It's just a pity that I can't go to your house for dinner."
After sighing that it was a pity, Yuan Mingxu continued, "Don't worry, I was able to deal with them before, and I can deal with them now. Just wait for the New Year's Day to pick me up, and I guarantee that the matter will be resolved perfectly by then."
"Okay, I get it. Be careful, I'll go cook."
Lin Yimu listened to Yuan Mingxu's relaxed tone on the phone, thought about the advanced security system of their residence in Beijing, and was not as worried as before.
Instead, he felt that his suggestion just now was actually inappropriate. Even if Yuan Mingxu changed his address and they couldn't find him temporarily, they might run into him again someday. The security department in his residential area was not as comprehensive as those in the wealthy area.
Lin Yimu hung up the phone and walked back to the kitchen, and He Xiuji immediately looked over at him.
Seeing the inquiry in the other person's eyes, Lin Yimu hesitated for a moment, but still gritted his teeth and told He Xiuji about the conversation between them.
I'm sorry, Axu. For your personal safety, I betrayed our friendship. I'm so sorry.
After Lin Yimu finished telling Yuan Mingxu what had just happened, he couldn't help but say sorry to Yuan Mingxu in his heart.
After listening to Lin Yimu's story, He Xiuji said calmly, "Don't worry about him, he can handle it himself."
Then he continued to process the ingredients in his hands.
Lin Yimu was a little worried and couldn't concentrate on cooking properly.
Finally, it was He Xiuji who spoke a few words of comfort, and told him about the training courses and ability requirements for the family heirs. Finally, he said: "Anyway, Ah Xu is being trained as the heir of the Yuan family. Although his ability and means are still immature, he is fully capable of handling these small matters on his own."
Hearing He Xiuji say in a flat tone that this was a trivial matter, Lin Yimu opened his mouth to refute, but then felt that he was right. After all, they had received a different education from him, and he could not use his own concepts to understand the other party.
Afterwards, Lin Yimu didn't say anything else, but started to cook dinner seriously.
However, this incident also made Lin Yimu truly realize that there was actually a big gap between him and He Xiuji.
After two people are together, it is actually mostly the other party who accommodates him. If he wants there to be no gap between them at all, he needs to work harder.
Thinking of this, Lin Yimu thought of the experiment he was conducting. If the experiment in his hand could be completed as soon as possible, it would be a real big step forward.
