Chapter 36 Chapter 36 [Eat with me.]...
Lin Qianyuan: [General.]
Pei Lanqing's pre-prepared explanation remained in the dialog box waiting to be sent.
The question he asked was actually a statement of affirmation. If their relationship wasn't good, he wouldn't have visited her so often in the hospital. He was asking knowingly, hoping to use this opportunity to learn more.
Because he didn't know her background and experiences well, it seemed as if, apart from her, everything else was a blank. Before they met, it was impossible for her not to interact with others and have a fixed circle of friends and connections. This was normal.
I thought it didn't contain any personal emotions, but now seeing her reply like this, I still feel some subtle emotions in my heart.
No one is immune to the seven emotions and six desires.
Lin Qianyuan waited for him for a long time again this time. With a confused look on his face, he locked his phone and opened it again.
Suddenly, the words she used to get closer to him came to her mind. At that time, she told him that she had no friends.
In order to make his point coherent, Lin Qianyuan spoke out without shame, picking out the truth he could tell, "He is my classmate."
[Are you in the same class?]
【Well, but he's not an art student.】
Pei Lanqing didn't want to change the subject and ask further questions. He clicked on the test paper she had sent him and scanned it thoroughly. With a rough estimate in mind, he said, "I'll send it to you in an hour."
Lin Qianyuan smiled and nodded, "Okay."
Liang Siyu didn't understand why she was grinning foolishly while holding her phone. He just wanted to tell her the truth, "Lin Qianyuan, you look unintelligent like this."
Lin Qianyuan hummed softly, her mood still good. She put down her phone and relayed, "One hour."
Liang Siyu's mouth dropped open in shock. If he remembered correctly, wasn't the normal math test duration two hours?
This test paper was quite difficult. Liang Siyu curled his lips and said, "I don't believe it. Who does he think he is?"
"Who is he?"
Lin Qianyuan became interested, raised his eyes, and spoke slowly, "My teacher."
"..." Liang Siyu covered his ears, "Okay! I don't want to listen!" He walked away from her with the test paper in his arms. Before leaving, he took away two oranges.
Liang Siyu was sitting on a single sofa in the corner of the ward. Just as he bent down to write, a blurry figure appeared on the frosted glass on the ward door. He turned around to look.
The next second, someone knocked on the door.
Lin Qianyuan followed the voice and went over.
Liang Siyu exchanged a glance with her, then stood up and went to open the door. Before he could press the doorknob, the person outside had already walked in.
Lin Qianyuan noticed the movement and frowned, her expression slightly displeased. When she saw who had come in, she sneered, her smile very faint, and the rest of her sarcasm became increasingly undisguised.
Mrs. Lin obviously didn't understand why Liang Siyu was here. Liang Siyu was also confused, but he quickly hid it, bent slightly, and greeted her respectfully, "Hello, Aunt Ji."
Mrs. Lin nodded slightly, "Hello."
Liang Siyu moved aside to let her in, and Mrs. Lin sat down beside Lin Qianyuan's bed.
Liang Siyu looked left and right, and seeing that something was wrong, he found an excuse to leave at the right time, "I'll go downstairs and get a drink, you guys chat."
Lin Qianyuan didn't say anything. Instead, Madam Lin smiled at him and said softly, "Go."
Liang Siyu secretly glanced at Lin Qianyuan. There was no emotion on her face. She didn't look at anyone and stared at the end of the bed.
The calmer she is, the more trouble she has in her mind, which shows that she is in a very bad mood.
Glancing at Mrs. Lin again, she still looked gentle, but for some reason she made people feel a chill.
The atmosphere was deadlocked. Liang Siyu went out with a heavy heart and closed the door.
In the room, Mrs. Lin lowered her eyes and saw the test paper on the bedside table. She didn't ask, nor did she pay much attention. She came here just to tell her what she wanted to say, "When you are discharged from the hospital, you will live back in the Lin family."
Lin Qianyuan raised his lips and smiled, turned his head and looked into her eyes, "Why?"
She didn't ask her why, but asked her on what terms.
She was a person with independent thinking and subjectivity, and she was never something that could be summoned or dismissed. She had already been to the gates of hell, and the life that Song Wenci had given her had long been taken away by her. Now this life was her own.
Lin Qianyuan didn't have the patience to beat around the bush with the person in front of him, so he said directly, "No."
Mrs. Lin raised her eyebrows slightly. Although she knew in her heart that Lin Qianyuan was not a docile and obedient child, this was the first time she saw him showing such a sharp edge.
Mrs. Lin was not in a hurry, and still had a smile on her face. "I have already talked to the old lady, and she agrees that you can live in."
"Even if I'm not your mother, she's still your grandmother, your elder. Don't you listen to her?"
Lin Fusheng wasn't the only one living at the Lin residence; Old Lady Lin's two other sons also lived there. Their married daughter also lived nearby and frequently returned. With so many people all knowing, it was as if Madam Lin had come prepared, having already placed herself on a high platform in full view of the public, executing first and reporting later.
Lin Qianyuan figured this out and couldn't help but sneer. Then the smile faded and he asked calmly, "Do you think this is interesting?"
Mrs. Lin pondered for a moment, then smiled sweetly, speaking candidly, "If it's useful to me, then it's interesting."
She made it clear that she was just going to use her.
Mrs. Lin had finished what she wanted to say. She stood up and looked around. "Are you used to living here?" She bent down, took Lin Qianyuan's hand, looked down at him carefully, and said softly, "You've lost weight."
"You should have been discharged earlier."
Lin Qianyuan tried to withdraw her hand, but Mrs. Lin acted before her and held it tightly.
Lin Qianyuan did not let up and continued to pull out.
Mrs. Lin raised her head and met her gaze. Her eyes were full of thorns, and she was stubborn and arrogant. It was obvious that she was a difficult person to discipline and would not easily bow down.
This is completely different from Song Wenci. Song Wenci would only feel inferior when she saw her and would never dare to look at her like that.
Mrs. Lin didn't mind at all, she lowered her eyes and smiled.
Lin Qianyuan broke free from her hand with considerable force, causing her to sway.
Mrs. Lin was not angry, her smile still fading. She raised her hand and stroked her cheek with the tip of her thumb. "I still like you the way you were before. You must never forget it, okay?"
Lin Qianyuan lowered his eyes and glanced at her hand.
Mrs. Lin just took it back and said, "Have a good rest. I will come to pick you up when you can be discharged from the hospital." After that, she picked up the bag on the chair and turned to leave.
Liang Siyu was sitting at the door with two bottles of juice in his hands. When he saw her come out, he immediately stood up and politely said goodbye.
Mrs. Lin looked at him a few more times, thinking that this must be a child raised by the Liang family, very well-mannered. She pressed the elevator button, took out her cell phone from her bag, and dialed a number.
The call was quickly answered and the elevator door opened at that moment.
Mrs. Lin walked in and the door closed automatically. Her voice alone echoed in the small, enclosed space.
"Isn't Qiao Yu now settling for second best, only wanting his child to be able to enter the Lin family?"
Madam Lin lowered her head and smiled. Her soft voice sounded gloomy, and a shadow also appeared on her gentle appearance. "Okay."
Madam Lin said coldly, "Let her die first. After she dies, I might consider it."
Lin Fusheng cursed angrily from the other side: "Ji Huaijun, are you crazy?"
Ji Huaijun had a sneer on his face all the time, "Really?"
The elevator opened at the next floor and someone came up. Ji Huaijun took a few steps back and said in a gentle voice, "Don't talk like that. After all, you are still fine."
Liang Siyu shifted his gaze from Mrs. Lin's back, picked up Juice, and quickly hid in the ward. He smoothed his chest, still feeling a lingering fear, "Lin Qianyuan, why do I feel like this Mrs. Lin looks different from before? A little scary."
Liang Siyu turned around as he spoke. There was no one on the bed. His eyes rolled around and he went to the bathroom. The door was opened from the inside.
Lin Qianyuan looked like she had just washed her face, with water droplets still hanging on it. Liang Siyu took a few steps closer and looked her up and down. Based on his understanding of her, he asked her, "Did Madam Lin touch your face?"
Lin Qianyuan said nothing, walked around him and got back on the bed, "You're here to show your concern for me."
"Concerned about you?" Liang Siyu looked suspicious. He followed her and asked, "What's the specific situation?"
Lin Qianyuan mentioned a few things in a roundabout way. Liang Siyu was so angry that he put down his juice and said indignantly, "I was wondering why my mother learned about your surgery from the old lady that day. It turns out it was all planned."
"Mrs. Lin wants to use you and let you live in the Lin family. There are so many people in the Lin family. Is she really not aware of what they will think of you?"
Lin Qianyuan is not like Lin Jihui. She grew up in the Lin family. To those people in the Lin family, she is not even a familiar face.
Lin Qianyuan's expression remained normal. He even instinctively raised his sleeve to wipe away the water droplets that accidentally dripped into his eyes from his eyelashes.
Liang Siyu was speechless. This person doesn't know how to use a towel? He pulled out a napkin for her.
When Lin Qianyuan was casual, she was really casual. She didn't need the tissue he handed her. She had already wiped herself clean with her hospital gown. She was not particular at all.
She had a good attitude and said, "I don't care whether she knows about it or not. I just let them do whatever they want." After saying that, Lin Qianyuan picked up the pen and started writing the questions.
Seeing this scene, Liang Siyu's conscience ached. To save her face, he lowered his voice and asked politely, "Lin Qianyuan, have you encountered any difficulties in your life recently?"
"Like... are you short of money?"
Liang Siyu frowned, struggling over how much he should lend her.
Lin Qianyuan put down his pen and stared at him intently, "I am fulfilling the contract now, do you understand?"
When had Liang Siyu ever seen her compromise like this? He couldn't bear it any longer. The more he watched, the more sad he felt. "How about a hundred thousand?"
Lin Qianyuan's phone vibrated twice, and she ordered him to shut up for a while and check the messages herself.
The two pictures were the answers sent by Pei Lanqing.
Lin Qianyuan calculated the time, an hour and three minutes. She didn't say thank you, but said, "I'll treat you to dinner."
Pei Lanqing's attention was not on the "please", [Can you go to a crowded place? ]
Her ears can't stand it.
Lin Qianyuan thought about it and thought, "I can order takeout."
Recalling her understanding of the units of measurement for currency, Pei Lanqing declined.
He rarely rejects himself. Lin Qianyuan's mouth corners flattened, [Why?]
Pei Lanqing stated the reason bluntly.
Lin Qianyuan pondered with a stern face, then tentatively asked, "Then I'll ask Auntie to bring the food over? You can eat with me."
Pei Lanqing agreed very readily this time, [Okay.]
Lin Qianyuan threw down his phone, not quite understanding.
What's wrong with this person? Wasn't she the one who spent the money? Why was she the one being rejected?
Lin Qianyuan thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure out what he was thinking, so he had to give up temporarily, grabbed the math test paper and started copying.
Liang Siyu was still talking about the previous topic, but she told him to stop and said she would not lend him money. Thinking of this, Lin Qianyuan suddenly stopped writing.
I should have known not to write two suicide notes. The one she gave Pei Lanqing only had the title of a book in her bookcase written on it. The real suicide note was tucked inside that book, detailing her assets.
Originally, she had planned to ask him to donate the money, thinking that she was doing good deeds and accumulating merit, so that he would take better care of her in the next life.
Lin Qianyuan sighed listlessly.
If she had only written one letter and handed it to him instead of two, he would have been able to open it and see that she really didn't need food. But she also knew that he wouldn't do something like opening someone else's letter. She had this feeling without saying anything.
Liang Siyu opened the shopping bag and handed her the carrot juice he had bought. After a long while without her taking it, he turned around, his eyes full of wonder, "What are you thinking about?"
Lin Qianyuan took the carrot juice and said, "Nothing."
Liang Siyu bought himself orange juice, opened it and took a sip, "What are you going to do next?"
He guessed she wouldn't remain indifferent.
Lin Qianyuan unscrewed the bottle cap, didn't drink it, and screwed it back on. "She wants me to stay, so I'll stay for a year."
Liang Siyu nearly spit out the juice in his mouth. He choked and turned his head away, coughing. "That's it?"
"Are you really planning to live in the Lin family from now on?"
Lin Qianyuan chuckled and calmly clarified, "I said, I'll only stay for a year."
Before leaving, Madam Lin reminded her that she still owed her a favor, so she planned to repay it all at once. As for later...
Lin Qianyuan twitched the corner of his mouth, his expression suddenly relaxed, "I don't have the heart to play any family drama with them."
"What do you mean? You want to get out of here?" This was no more exciting than the TV series Mrs. Liang was watching. Liang Siyu continued with great interest, "How do you say it? How do you say it?"
Lin Qianyuan leaned forward, looking at him with a half-smile. "Of course, we're going to die together." She looked serious, a smile flickering in her eyes, barely noticeable. "No one should live."
This didn't sound like a joke, and Liang Siyu stood up from his chair, "Lin Qianyuan!" He couldn't help but call out her full name.
Lin Qianyuan lazily sat up straight, lacking any energy, but his aura was still strong. "I can hear you, you don't have to speak so loudly."
Liang Siyu was depressed for a moment. He paced back and forth for a long time before stopping beside her. "Do you know that there are laws in this world?"
How strange! Lin Qianyuan supported his chin, blinked, and motioned him to continue.
Seeing her unrepentant look, Liang Siyu was very disappointed, "You are breaking the law, do you understand?!"
"Oh, but I'm dead too. Do I still have to take responsibility?"
"Yes."
Liang Siyu sat down, as if he was convinced by her, "You died too, then you..."
He suddenly turned around and stared at her with a face full of resentment, "Do you really think I'm stupid?"
Lin Qianyuan withdrew her hand, smiled and shook her head, then she put away her smile and said, "I'll only act for one year."
"A year later, I found someone to replace me."
"Who is it?"
Lin Qianyuan poured the carrot juice on the table over. In an instant, waves appeared and the orange juice flowed through the wall of the bottle and gathered together again.
Lin Qianyuan stared at the warm color for two seconds, lowered his voice, and spoke slowly: "Lin Jihui."

The author has something to say: Liang Siyu: "Do you know that there are laws in this world?"
Lin Qianyuan: "Tell me something I don't know."
