Soon it was time for Yangmeihong's checkup, but the results wouldn't be available for a while.
During this time, Lin Xun went out and bought several bottles of water, which he then distributed to the group.
He then sat down next to Su Qingshi and kept her company while she waited.
After Yang Meihong came out, she chatted with Gan Yuming, but even while chatting, she did not leave her work.
Su Qingshi watched this scene with a calm expression.
Lin Xun was somewhat surprised: "Sister Qingshi, why does Auntie work so hard?"
It has to be said that it is quite rare for someone to work to the point of developing such a physical condition.
Su Qingshi said with some complicated feelings, "It's probably because of my dad."
After her father's sacrifice, her mother became much more silent. She rarely came home, as she was either working or on her way to work overtime.
Perhaps her father influenced her mother.
Lin Xun had guessed this as well. He sighed and took Su Qingshi's small hand in his.
Su Qingshi squeezed his hand in return and said softly, "I'm fine."
As she spoke, she gently leaned on Lin Xun's shoulder.
Lin Xun said earnestly, "Sister Qingshi, you don't have to work so hard. People shouldn't put all the pressure on themselves. You have to learn to cherish yourself and give yourself a break when necessary so that you can have time to adjust."
Su Qingshi said calmly, "I don't feel any pressure."
"You're lying. Actually, I can understand you. You've always been wary of others, and you subconsciously create distance in your interactions, preventing yourself from being truly sincere with others. This is a form of self-protection, but it's also a form of self-isolation."
Lin Xun reached out and put his arm around Su Qingshi's slender waist, stroking it gently, just like petting a cat.
Su Qingshi, now beside him, had shed her disguise and revealed her true self.
Over the years, she has become accustomed to being alone and has very few friends, so she can only isolate herself and use aloofness as a protective shield to resist contact with others.
This also led to many people being afraid to approach her.
Of course, in Su Qingshi's mind, she didn't care about these things.
"I'm just too lazy to waste time," Su Qingshi said in a muffled voice, almost as if she were confiding in someone.
Lin Xun smiled slightly. Looking at Su Qingshi, he thought she was incredibly cute.
Perhaps this is also her vulnerable side, which she only reveals without reservation when she is in front of him.
Everyone shows their true self to those they like, and this is also their most flawed side.
This also shows that they have absolute trust in you, which is why they are so open with you.
"Do you want me to make friends with other people?" Su Qingshi asked, looking at Lin Xun.
Lin Xun thought for a moment and nodded: "I hope you can have your own female friends."
Female friends.
Su Qingshi smiled and asked, "Why emphasize women?"
Lin Xun said seriously, "Because if Sister Qingshi gets close to a boy, I'll be jealous."
Just imagining that scene—the senior girl chatting and laughing with other boys—made Lin Xun inexplicably irritable, and he felt like he could kill her with a knife.
Pure friendship? He doesn't believe in the existence of pure friendship between men and women!
Su Qingshi noticed Lin Xun's inexplicable jealousy and her expression was somewhat amused, but she was also quite excited because the fact that the boy she liked was jealous of her meant that he truly cared for her.
Of course, this result doesn't need to be proven; she firmly believes in it.
"Don't worry, I won't do such a thing," Su Qingshi said calmly.
"Hmm? What is it?" Lin Xun looked at her expectantly.
Su Qingshi immediately looked embarrassed and forcibly looked away, saying, "It's nothing."
"What? Isn't it a bit much for you to keep us in suspense like this, sister?" Lin Xun said with a sly look in her eyes.
He then gave a threatening look: "Will you tell me or not? If you don't, I'm going to kiss you."
Sister Qingshi, you wouldn't want me to kiss you in front of Auntie, would you?
Su Qingshi blushed, her beautiful eyes widening as she gritted her teeth: "My mom's here, how dare you kiss... um."
Before she could finish speaking, Lin Xun kissed Su Qingshi, silencing her question.
This scene was witnessed by Yang Meihong and Gan Yuming.
They were both amused and exasperated. These two young people were really something, not even caring about the occasion when they were being affectionate.
"Ah, young people are so lucky," Gan Yuming sighed, a hint of envy in his eyes.
It's not that I envy Lin Xun, but rather their vibrant youth.
Yang Meihong's eyes revealed a hint of affection: "Xiao Shi hasn't been this happy in a long time."
She was happy that her daughter had found the right person for her, and she was also happy that her daughter was able to make changes and was no longer like a stagnant pool.
It wasn't just her; since her husband's sacrifice, her daughter had also changed. She became quiet, cold, and even distant towards her family.
At first, she was worried that her daughter was traumatized by her father's death, but the latter behaved normally and achieved excellent results time and time again, which impressed her as a mother.
She had thought her daughter would be trapped in that cage forever, but now, pitifully, she had finally found her own way out.
Thinking of this, Yang Meihong looked at Lin Xun with a very satisfied expression.
"It seems you're quite satisfied with this son-in-law?" Gan Yuming looked at Yang Meihong with interest.
The latter smiled and said, "Yes, Lin is not a bad person, and you can tell he treats my daughter very well. He's a good young man."
Gan Yuming nodded.
Both of them had experienced the world, so they could easily tell what kind of person someone was just by looking at them.
Lin Xun's performance left a good impression on them.
"In the blink of an eye, Xiao Shi is already in a relationship," Gan Yuming remarked with some emotion.
When he met Su Qingshi, she was just a child. In the blink of an eye, she has blossomed into a beautiful young woman. Time is truly amazing.
Sigh, I, as the uncle, am watching my younger generation find partners. When will I be able to win over my own sweetheart?
Thinking of this, Gan Yuming looked at Yang Meihong, who was looking at her daughter.
Well, no rush, take your time. As the saying goes, true love is about companionship. He believes that his companionship will eventually bear sweet fruit.
During the kiss, just as Su Qingshi was about to succumb to Lin Xun's tenderness, her reason made her push him away.
She glared at Lin Xun, but didn't seem angry. Instead, her eyes were slightly watery, and her rosy cheeks made it look like she was being coquettish.
Lin Xun was thrilled by what he saw.
"What are you doing? My mom's still here!"
As Su Qingshi spoke, she subconsciously looked in her mother's direction, only to find that both of them were looking at her with a knowing smile.
Su Qingshi immediately wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
