Chapter 251: Leave some room for imagination
"Well, I want to hear how much he has changed."
He Tingchen lay on his side, supporting his head.
Looking at his state, Lin Rushuang didn't think he was going to sleep at all. It was obvious that he wanted to have a late-night battle with her.
He wouldn't want me to tell stories all night, right?
Lin Rushuang was not stupid either, so she asked tentatively.
"Are you ready for bed now?"
He Tingchen: "Don't worry about me, tell your story."
Lin Rushuang knew that He Tingchen was very sensitive, and if she was too direct, it would seem a bit too deliberate.
She might as well follow up on what he said and ask, "Don't you know Li Wenyuan's uncle? You don't need to ask me what he is like."
He Tingchen just looked at her calmly.
"You should know from asking around that he's elusive. Have you ever seen me and Li Wenyuan's uncle meet?"
Lin Rushang thought about it carefully and it seemed that there really wasn't one.
She didn't dare to talk nonsense in front of He Tingchen. After all, although he said so, who knew what his relationship with Li Wenyuan's uncle was.
If he spreads the word, she will be asking for trouble.
Lin Rushuang said casually, "We are just guessing, Mr. He should not listen."
"That's okay, that's what I wanted to hear."
The words sounded casual, but there was an invisible sense of oppression in his tone.
Lin Rushuang had been in contact with He Tingchen for a while and had more or less figured out his temperament.
She said it out loud: "You asked me to say this, not me. Mr. He, please don't spread it around."
He Tingchen responded indifferently.
Lin Rushuang could only continue speaking according to her own opinion: "We just heard rumors from outside. It seems that this Li Wenyuan's uncle has never been seen. People in the circle only know that this person is mysterious and unpredictable, and that the tail of the dragon is nowhere to be found."
"Could it be one of those ugly-looking mutants? I also heard that he has a very strange personality and doesn't interact with people unless he likes them. Isn't this a pure autistic child?"
"When we were little, our next-door neighbours were like this. Although they had a child, we never saw the child in person. Their family was well off, so they wouldn't leave their child alone in school even though he was that old.
"And we always heard the children next door crying at night. People around us thought it was haunted."
"One time, a kid we were playing with kicked a ball into their house. We climbed over the wall to look for him and unexpectedly saw the kid. He actually had two heads, you know? Two heads sharing one body."
Whenever Lin Rushang thinks back to her childhood, it seems as if it were still vivid in her mind. The scene was horrifying and she still feels a little scared.
He Tingchen seemed to be listening with little interest.
"It's probably a genetic problem. There's been a news story before about a woman pregnant with twins. Due to insufficient nutrition and a genetic mutation, she gave birth to two children with one body but two heads."
"It's actually possible for them to coexist, but it's a little troublesome. After all, as they grow up, it's very likely that one of them will exclude the other."
Lin Rushuang couldn't help but feel curious: "If that's the case, I'm just curious, nothing else. In this case, if the two of us quarrel in the future, won't we just have to argue verbally?"
He Tingchen was amused by her words, and a low, hoarse laugh suddenly burst out of his throat, echoing in the room and sounding particularly pleasant.
Lin Rushuang inexplicably thought to herself that, apart from his dull mouth, there was really nothing wrong with this man.
His whole body was so perfect that it seemed like a sculpture carefully carved by God.
Didn't Lin Rushuang know how funny her words were? He Tingchen was already shaking with laughter, buried in her arms, his chest vibrating.
The skin on Lin Rushang's wrists was occasionally rubbed by He Tingchen's hair, making her feel itchy.
You can also smell the refreshing chamomile scent of the shampoo, which makes you want to sleep.
Lin Rushuang yawned and said, "Stop talking and let me continue."
She just wanted He Tingchen to fall asleep as soon as possible.
The man rested his head on Lin Rushuang's legs and said, "Go on."
Lin Rushuang lowered her eyes and glanced at He Tingchen. She said, "I want to ask you if you can stop being like this."
But then I thought, if I continue wasting time with him here, he probably won't sleep until dawn.
Lin Rushuang could only make up a story: "Li Wenyuan's uncle might also have some kind of defect. If he has any facial defects, it's hard to say for sure."
"Otherwise he never shows up, which is very problematic."
"Either his face is ugly, or his private life is just like those in the movies. It's very likely that he has some kind of defect."
He Tingchen's eyebrows twitched as he listened, as if he were a monster.
When he looked up and was about to ask Lin Rushang more details, she lowered her head, her pink lips slightly parted, her eyelashes drooped, and her breathing was shallow.
Fell asleep?
He curled the corners of his lips in amusement, wondering if the priorities between them were a bit reversed.
Did he hire her to put him to sleep, or did he hire her to put her to sleep?
He slowly stood up, then held her shoulders and slowly put her on the bed, covered her with the quilt, and murmured.
"You are truly my ancestor."
He Tingchen got up and walked to the balcony. Afraid of waking Lin Rushuang, he deliberately closed the window and then called Duan Jiayi.
Duan Jiayi had fallen asleep by now, and he kept yawning when he received a call from He Tingchen.
"Your restful sleep in the underworld, look at the time now, isn't there Sister Lin at home to coax you to sleep? Why, is she not here today?"
"Asleep."
"Ah? Asleep? Are you kidding me? Shouldn't she have put you to sleep first? How could she have put the cart before the horse?"
"I don't know. She was telling me that Li Wenyuan's uncle might be a freak. He might be extremely ugly and has never appeared in public. He might be a monster with two heads on one body, or he might be some kind of freak."
"There might be some who have a penchant for trolling. They even told me that some trolls in movies would kill women and then dress them up in wedding gowns."
"Pfft... Hahahaha, oh my god, my second uncle and eighth aunt, your sister Lin is still a little too advanced in her thinking."
When Duan Jiayi heard this, he not only did not feel any sympathy for He Tingchen, but he just wanted to laugh.
He and He Tingchen had known each other since childhood, and he had never heard anyone comment on him like this.
It's really going to make people laugh to death.
He Tingchen said in a gloomy voice: "If you laugh again, you can die."
Duan Jiayi immediately fell silent: "Okay, I won't laugh anymore. But having said that, this is the first time I've heard such an evaluation of you. It's really strange."
"Having said that, this can't be blamed on Miss Lin. It's your own fault. If you had told her earlier that you were Li Wenyuan's uncle, maybe she would have been eager to marry you."
He Tingchen couldn't help but sneer: "If you were her, after being hurt by Li Wenyuan like this, would you still want to marry someone from his family?"
"Keep facing that ugly face."
Duan Jiayi thought about this and found that what he said made sense.
"That's right. The main thing is that your sister Lin has a history of running away. If she's not mentally prepared and is suddenly frightened by your identity, she might run away again..."
"I'm afraid you're really going to end up alone."
He Tingchen raised his hand and rubbed his brow. "Please help me spread some news tomorrow. It's probably about Li Wenyuan's uncle coming back. And then make my image a little more positive."
"We still have to leave some room for imagination."
