Chapter 56: Lin Minghe goes to Yu Jingyuan to ask Xia Cheng
The speaker has intention, and the listener has attention.
The scalding hot baking tray raised the temperature, and Xia Cheng's tears became the catalyst. Lin Minghe seemed to have become the fried meat, waiting to mature, and also waiting for Xia Cheng to eat him.
The two people had different ideas and didn't eat much. They quickly filled their stomachs and returned to the car. The atmosphere between them became weird because of the conversation. This is the effect of people's fig leaf automatically activated after accidentally discovering other people's secrets.
"I've said too much today, so don't take it to heart." Xia Cheng drank some soju, but she felt clearer. The cold air from the air conditioner was like a kitten's tail, sweeping across her arm from time to time.
She chuckled, everything was within her expectations.
Lin Minghe had his own ideas. Although the ruby bracelet was not rare, it belonged to Xia Cheng. He wanted to find a way to get it back, but he didn't want to embarrass Xun Mo. It would be best not to let Xia Cheng know and give her a surprise. After all, she looked sad when she talked about the bracelet just now.
"Your business is my business." Lin Minghe was eager to show his loyalty. He felt that everything was fine in this small space, except that the sun in front of him was too bright. It was so bright that he was embarrassed to look directly at Xia Cheng. He just tilted his head and leaned against the car window.
"Since I like you, I'm willing to get to know you. I know you're telling me this because you're feeling down and want to vent to someone. You can always come to me in the future, and I'm happy to listen."
"Really?" Xia Cheng rubbed the goose bumps on her arms caused by the cold air. She had been looking at Lin Minghe. When she saw him say this, his face turned red to the roots of his neck. She couldn't help but laugh softly.
Lin Minghe knew that she was laughing at him, so he turned his head stiffly and secretly looked at Xia Cheng. Seeing her eyes and eyebrows curved, he also looked happy. If it could make Xia Cheng happy, he would be willing to be a little stupid.
Seeing the scars on Xia Cheng's arm again, his eyes froze and gradually turned cold.
He lowered his eyes and said, "Let's stop here today. I'll take you back first."

After sending Xia Cheng off, Lin Minghe stepped on the accelerator and drove to Yu Jingyuan's house.
When he is not at work, Yu Jingyuan's life is irregular. When Lin Minghe came, he was still wearing home clothes, leaning on the sofa on the first floor and drinking freshly ground coffee.
The rich smell of caffeine filled the room. Lin Minghe was knocking on the door so hard that Yu Jingyuan was really worried that the door would break one day.
He opened the door, and the sweaty Lin Minghe took off his shoes and changed into slippers. He saw a pair of women's high heels in the shoe cabinet. He looked at them suspiciously for a few more times, but didn't have time to ask more questions.
After walking for a while, he worked up a sweat and ran to the central air conditioner, holding his clothes to enjoy the cool breeze, his hair fluttering lightly.
"I've told you so many times, knock softly, and don't you know the password?" Yu Jingyuan shook his head and sighed lightly, feeling helpless.
"It's too urgent. I'm too lazy to press it." Lin Minghe shook the front of his clothes. The cold wind rushed in, calming his fever a little, but he still asked anxiously:
"I heard that Xia Cheng and Xun Mo had an argument. What happened?"
"How do you know this? Did Xun Sheng tell you?"
"Ah...yes, yes." Lin Minghe answered randomly, "That's what I heard. I also heard that you were mediating between them. How come nothing happened?"
"A girl scratched her nail once or twice, it's not a serious injury and it healed in a few days. But during those few days, people in the office kept looking at me strangely, as if I had fought with a woman."
Yu Jingyuan thought about how many people came to ask him what happened when he went to work the next day. He touched the scratches on his face and neck and thought of an excuse.
"My two younger sisters were fighting, and I went to stop them, and I got scratched by accident."
Zhao Yunqian gave him some scar removal medicine, but Yu Jingyuan refused it. It was not even a wound, so he didn't care at all.
Lin Minghe was staring at Yu Jingyuan's face, as if thinking about something.
His temperature finally dropped and he sat down on the sofa.
No one knew that he liked Xia Cheng, and Lin Minghe didn't dare to say it.
One reason is that Xun Sheng, as the older brother of both of them, would probably not agree to the marriage if he knew that he had changed his mind. By then, he would be ordered to stop before he could catch up with the girl.
Secondly, he felt a little embarrassed to tell Yu Jingyuan alone, because this was his first love, his first real heartbeat, which was completely different from playing house when he was a child.
"Xia Cheng...Xia Cheng..." He repeated the name in his mind and blurted it out.
"Xia Cheng..."
"Hmm?" When Yu Jingyuan heard the name, he looked up with a little more concentration than usual.
"What happened to her?"
"Uh...it's nothing. I just ran into her today and saw the scars on her arms. They were pretty serious...I guess there was a big conflict between her and Xun Mo. Can you tell me in detail what happened that day?"
Yu Jingyuan frowned, looking indifferent, and asked nonchalantly:
"Where did you meet? Why are you suddenly concerned about her? I guess you haven't spoken much to each other."
People who use their brains are better at talking than those who exercise. These questions all hit the key points. Lin Minghe didn't want to refuse to answer, but he was also embarrassed to tell the truth. He laughed awkwardly twice and waved to Yu Jingyuan who was sitting opposite him.
"Come here, I'll tell you in secret."
Yu Jingyuan sat down next to him, with a little distance between them.
"It would be rude to get any closer," he joked.
Lin Minghe leaned back on the sofa, rubbed his hair twice, and then said carefully:
"Would you mind if I started dating before you and Xun Sheng?"
"Why should you mind?"
"Because I'm younger than you, if we get married first, my children will be older than yours. When we were three years old and sworn brothers in Peach Garden, the oldest one was Xun Sheng."
"I don't think he cares. He seems to be a non-marriage advocate. I don't mind it either. Young people don't care about that."
"That's good." Lin Minghe took two deep breaths and encouraged himself. He exerted himself in the water, but he couldn't breathe when he got out of the water.
"If, I mean if, I fall in love with someone everyone knows, will you stop me?"
Yu Jingyuan was completely confused by this.
"Are you talking about Xun Mo? Why does it sound like she's a different person?"
"How could it be Xun Mo? Yu Jingyuan, stop joking with me. It's no secret that she likes you. Besides, those were just casual words I said when I was a child. You and Xun have been nagging me for almost ten years. Let me go."
After saying this, Lin Minghe raised his eyebrows, suddenly thought of something, and said proudly:
"Wait, if that's the case, you'll have to call me brother-in-law in the future. I can't even imagine it..."
Yu Jingyuan's expression suddenly became like a violent storm, with dark clouds covering the sky.
"What brother-in-law? Who do you like?"
Lin Minghe nodded, raised his finger to the corner of his lips, signaling him to keep it a secret, then lowered his voice, and the skin on his cheekbones gradually became filled with an inexplicable blush.
"What I like is Xia Cheng."
