Chapter 6 Wearing a ring on the little finger indicates non-marriage
At noon, Lin Shutang planned to go back to school for lunch. When he was about to leave, he happened to meet Mr. Chen and his wife coming down from upstairs.
"Teacher Lin, please stay and have lunch before leaving!"
Lin Shutang smiled politely: "No, I have something else to do this afternoon."
"Just stay if I ask you to." After spending a morning together, the little girl was no longer as resistant to Lin Shutang as she was at the beginning, and now she began to take the initiative to keep him.
"Can the food at school be as delicious as the food at home?" As she said that, she walked forward and took Lin Shutang's hand to go to the restaurant. Lin Shutang was afraid of hurting her, so she didn't dare to struggle and had to stay.
Not long after Lin Shutang sat down, two more people came in. Judging from their ages, the older one should be Mr. Chen's father, and the other one was Li Yansheng.
Li Yansheng helped the old man sit down in the main seat before he sat down, sitting right opposite Lin Shutang.
The people at the main seat began to pick up their chopsticks. Lin Shutang lowered his head to pick up the pumpkin cake in front of him and tasted it. He caught a glimpse of a hand with distinct joints and a skin as white as jade. It was obviously a hand that could only be raised in a wealthy family. There was a pinky ring on the little finger.
Lin Shutang remembered a sentence he had seen somewhere: Wearing a ring on the little finger means that one is not interested in marriage.
"Try this, I like it the most." As the words fell, a small hand came into view. It was Chen Runling who picked up a piece of meat for Lin Shutang.
Lin Shutang turned his head and saw that the little girl had run from her father to his side without him knowing when.
At this moment, he was looking at himself with bright eyes and full of expectation.
"Chen Runling, don't bump into Teacher Lin." Madam Chen admonished, then looked at Lin Shutang apologetically: "Teacher Lin, I'm sorry, the child is too noisy."
Lin Shutang: "It's okay. Xiaoling is very strong, she won't bump into me, right?"
Lin Shutang said the last sentence while looking at Chen Runling.
When the little girl heard this, her face turned upside down: "Of course."
After finishing her meal and leaving the restaurant, Lin Shutang noticed that it was gloomy outside. She prayed that the rain would not stop until she returned to school.
However, God obviously did not hear the prayer. As soon as Lin Shutang finished praying, he felt rain blown onto his face by the wind.
"Teacher Lin, wait a moment."
Lin Shutang stopped looking for an umbrella and turned around.
Mr. Chen hugged Chen Runling and said, "Teacher Lin, it's raining. Yansheng wants to go out. You should go with him!"
Lin Shutang glanced at the man next to him. He was standing on the steps talking on the phone. When he heard someone mention him, he raised his eyes and glanced at him, with no change in expression on his face.
Lin Shutang imagined that it would be very awkward if there were only two people sitting in a car.
So he refused: "No, it's only a few steps away. I brought an umbrella. Thank you, Mr. Chen."
As he finished speaking, the person on the other end had finished his call and came over. At the same time, a black car passed through the dense rain and stopped in front of the steps.
The assistant got out of the car, opened the back door, and then came to Li Yansheng holding an umbrella.
After Li Yansheng got into the car, the assistant originally closed the door, then bent down to the window to listen to what the person inside said, and then opened the back door.
The assistant trotted over to Lin Shutang again, obviously asking her to join him.
At this time, if she insisted further, it would seem pretentious, so she got into the car.
However, she did not get into the back seat with the door open, but sat in the passenger seat. "That would be troublesome."
The moment he got in the car, the water splashes on the windshield suddenly became dense. Lin Shutang glanced at the white canvas shoes on his feet and suddenly felt fortunate that he didn't insist on walking back.
"It's not a problem. It's only a few minutes' drive." The man in the back seat didn't say anything. The person who said this was the assistant in the driver's seat.
The car started, and Lin Shutang looked up inadvertently, and saw from the rearview mirror that the man in the back seat was resting with his eyes closed.
This was the first time she had taken a close look at Li Yansheng's appearance. He had a high nose bridge, fair skin that didn't make him look feminine, and long eyelashes that resembled a feather fan.
He is indeed very handsome. No wonder so many people wrote to him on the school’s confession wall after his last speech.
