Chapter 14 Daily Limit
Chen Wan didn't know what he was thinking. Seeing his worried expression, he asked again, "Is this anti-inflammatory medicine expired? Is it irritating the wound and making it hurt?"
She frowned and took out the medicine again, carefully studying the production date.
"No, it's me..." When Lin Yu was still thinking of an excuse, his stomach suddenly made a rumbling sound.
Chen Wan's curious gaze moved to his face, with a hint of amusement in his surprise.
Under her sincere and concerned gaze, the usually carefree Lin Yu turned his face away in embarrassment, saying awkwardly, "I forgot to eat lunch today."
Chen Wan suppressed his laughter and said, "Then I'll go make dinner for you?"
"No need, my senior sister said that we should go to her house for dinner tonight." Lin Yu thought of the important matter.
After hearing this, Chen Wan hesitated and said, "Can I not go?"
Before Lin Yu could reply, Qiao Yue called and asked, "Junior brother, is Chen Wan home from school yet?"
"You told her yourself?" Lin Yu tilted his mouth corner and showed a triumphant smile.
Chen Wan compromised. There was basically no room for change in Qiao Yue's decision, especially when it came to taking care of her.
Qiao Yue said with a smile on the phone, "We're having beef hotpot tonight. Yuan Ke's parents bought the veal specially and it's being cooked right after it was killed. You two must come!"
When Lin Yu heard this, he silently covered his stomach and looked at Chen Wan pitifully.
Chen Wan faced his gaze and nodded helplessly and amusedly, "I'll go."
Lin Yu was very satisfied with her answer. He stood up and said proudly, "There is no time to lose. Let's set off immediately!"
Seeing that he was very excited, Chen Wan kindly reminded him, "Are you sure you want to wear this?"
She pointed at the dirty apron on Lin Yu. The three huge words "Tai Tai Le" on it formed a huge contrast with his self-proclaimed macho temperament.
Lin Yu glanced at his apron belatedly and laughed awkwardly, "I'll go change it right away."
Chen Wan also went home and changed his clothes.
The two were ready to go, especially Lin Yu. Ever since he knew about the beef hotpot, his eyes were shining and his fighting spirit was high.
It's as if what you're driving isn't a car but a fat cow, and the road isn't a road but a pasture.
Chen Wan watched from the side and thought that his phrase "eyeing with eager eyes" was not wrong. When he saw the food, this word was indeed the most accurate way to summarize his state.
In short, Lin Yu is a person who is "blinded by food".
There was no traffic jam along the way, not even a red light. Chen Wan felt that Lin Yu might really be a lucky person.
Qiao Yue saw the two people who had just arrived downstairs from the balcony, and she enthusiastically called out to them while holding onto the railing, "Come on, come on!"
Lin Yu did not disappoint her enthusiasm and responded repeatedly, "Right away, right away!"
Chen Wan and Yuan Ke felt helpless when they saw this scene.
As soon as the elevator door opened, Lin Yu greeted Qiao Yue happily. Qiao Yue walked past him with a smile on her face and took Chen Wan's hand affectionately. "Baby, come in quickly. I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Lin Yu's smile froze on his face, and he curled his lips, "Biased."
"Those who eat for free have to work first." Qiao Yue glanced at him and pointed to Xiao Shiwu's room. "Go and help me watch over your nephew."
Chen Wan said, "Then I'll go too."
Qiao Yue smiled and said, "Okay, dinner will be served soon."
Yuan's parents both had a good impression of Chen Wan. After pulling her to the living room and saying a few words of concern to her, they also asked about Lin Yu's recent situation.
Lin Yu answered a few words respectfully, then tugged at Chen Wan's sleeve and said, "Let's go see the child quickly."
Chen Wan was curious when he saw that he pretended to be calm but was actually panicking.
Lin Yu leaned closer to her and whispered in a low voice, "Auntie introduced me to a blind date before, but it ended in failure. It was quite embarrassing."
Chen Wan understood, but suddenly felt a little angry. He said "oh" coldly and went into the room.
Without this barrier, Lin Yu gave a few awkward smiles to Yuan's parents and entered Xiao Shiwu's room in a secretive manner.
After entering the room, he breathed a sigh of relief and his attention fell on Xiao Shiwu's face.
Just as he was about to pinch her, Chen Wan blocked it.
"Change your hand. Your hand has a smell of medicine and the baby will feel uncomfortable," she said.
Lin Yu changed his hands as he said, looked up at her, and smiled, "Wanzi, you are so gentle."
After hearing what he said, Chen Wan felt a warm sensation on the tip of his ear. He turned his eyes away calmly and stared intently at Xiao Shiwu's soft face.
Little Fifteen was babbling something, but no one knew what he was saying. A five-month-old baby, whenever he was awake, would either roll around stupidly or open his mouth and squeak, making it impossible to understand what he was saying.
Xiao Shiwu had both of the above characteristics. Lin Yu and Chen Wan kept their eyes on him, afraid that he would fall.
"Why is this kid so noisy? He must have inherited his senior sister's style." Lin Yu leaned close to Chen Wan and muttered in a low voice, but Qiao Yue still heard it.
"Lin Yu, what are you mumbling about there?" Qiao Yue passed by with a plate of beef and pretended to be angry with him.
Lin Yu saw the dish of fresh beef and smiled flatteringly, "I said this kid is really handsome. It's obvious that he has inherited your majestic demeanor."
Chen Wan and Qiao Yue rolled their eyes at him.
Lin Yu shrugged indifferently and continued to tease Xiao Shiwu.
"Call me brother and let me correct your pronunciation."
Chen Wan was speechless at his way of coaxing the child out of nothing, and reminded him that "Little Fifteen can't speak yet."
"I know, I'm giving him enlightenment education." Lin Yu argued.
Qiao Yue teased him and said, "My son calls you brother, do you have the nerve to agree?"
Lin Yu snorted and said seriously, "I call you Senior Sister, and Wanzi calls you Sister Yue. According to seniority, we are both sisters. Why does Xiao Shiwu call me uncle but call her sister?"
Seeing him being so serious and unreasonable, Qiao Yue snorted, not wanting to bother with him anymore, and walked away with the beef.
Lin Yu turned to look at Chen Wan, his expression serious, and asked her, "Wanzi, what do you think?"
Chen Wan pursed his lips, thought for a moment, and nodded, "That's the truth."
Lin Yu also nodded and continued, "Actually, I've never understood why this society emphasizes gender equality while also drawing boundaries."
Chen Wan felt that Lin Yu's thinking was very eccentric and nonsensical. Sometimes he liked to reason, but the reasons he wanted to talk about were not profound philosophy, but full of childish doubts.
"Look, when we were in elementary school, we learned about Grandpa Sun, Sister Moon, Uncle Policeman, and Sister Nurse." Lin Yu spread his hands and listed them one by one. "Of course, Uncle Policeman is more of a song from that nursery rhyme."
He was referring to the well-known song: "I found a penny on the side of the road and handed it to the policeman."
"Why can't the policeman be my brother? He has to be my uncle."
Chen Wan laughed, rested his elbows on his knees, supported his chin, and looked at him quietly.
But Lin Yu was quite serious and held up his face to look her in the eye. "So from now on, I will also instill the concept of gender equality in Xiao Shiwu. Education must start from childhood!"
Lin Yu has droopy eyes and is tall. He looks down at people with a sense of distance and condescension.
But now, when I look straight ahead like this, the corners of my eyes are pressed down and my pupils are as bright as the sky.
The light in the room was warm yellow, making his short, thin black hair look fluffy.
It looks like a Shiba Inu with an innocent look, harmless to humans and animals.
Both of them sat leisurely on the crocheted carpet, looking at each other silently.
Chen Wan's skin is very white, and looks like thin and transparent rice paper, smooth and delicate.
She has a small face, curved eyebrows, a slender chin, and her hair is as fine as spring grass, which she casually tucks behind her ears.
Before, Lin Yu thought she was like the quiet moon, but now he thinks she is like a lovely flower.
Qiao Yue watched this scene from a distance, with a smile on her face.
Yuan Ke looked at her in confusion, wondering, "You have such a kind expression."
Qiao Yue sneered at his lack of understanding of the news, "What do you know? I bet on the right thing, bought the right stock, and it hit the daily limit. I'm so happy."
"Wow, you're even using stock market terms." Yuan Ke teased her as he arranged the vegetables to be boiled in the pot.
"That's right. When it comes to couples, I'm a professional, Sister Qiao." Qiao Yue raised her chin proudly. "Look at Xiaolin and Wan'er, aren't they wonderful?"
Because they were not far away, Yuan Ke was able to hear a few words.
Onlookers could see that the two of them were singing in unison and enjoying themselves.
"Xiao Lin is a bold, careful, and thick-skinned person. He usually likes to make up stories as he pleases."
Qiao Yue concluded calmly.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Ke burst out laughing and agreed, "That's true."
"As for Chen Wan, he's cold on the outside but warm on the inside and has a good temper. He usually just lets Xiao Lin do whatever he wants and flatters him."
Yuan Ke touched his chin and nodded in agreement, "That's very true."
"Isn't there a saying that goes, you're making trouble and I'm laughing, that's the best form of love."
Qiao Yue smiled slightly, her smile more benevolent than that of a bodhisattva.
Although her heart was pounding with excitement, and what could be more exciting than getting it for real, she couldn't show it.
Otherwise, it would scare Chen Wan, the little rabbit, and Lin Yu, the silly Shiba Inu.
Yuan Ke didn't want to dampen her interest. After listening to her clear and logical explanation, he leaned closer with a smile and asked, "Qiao Banxian is quite analytical. So what do you think about our situation?"
Qiao Yue turned her gaze back to eating melons, glanced at him, and said in a casual tone, "We are like this. I have a keen eye for pigs. One is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten."
Yuan Ke felt quite satisfied when she said that she had a good eye for talent, and said happily, "I was attracted by your wisdom and high aesthetic sense."
Qiao Yue chuckled twice, not buying into his roundabout boasting. "I'm talking about the stupid pig."
“…”
After a while, Qiao Yue slowly remembered to ask about Chen Shan.
But after all, he was not invited, and seeing that Chen Wan refused to talk about it, I really didn't know where to start.
I had to ask Lin Yu.
"Junior brother, come to the kitchen and help me." She found an excuse to get Chen Wan away and winked at Lin Yu.
After arriving at the kitchen, he handed Lin Yu a handful of rattan vegetables and asked him to pick them while answering.
"Is Chen Shan at home?"
Lin Yu paused what he was doing and looked up in surprise, "Didn't you know Chen Shan is gone?"
"Where did he go?" Qiao Yue was confused. "Didn't he just get out of prison yesterday?"
Seeing that she really didn't know, Chen Wan didn't even tell Qiao Yue.
This little girl is always in deep thought, and I don’t know whether it is good or bad.
Fortunately, Qiao Yue didn't ask any more questions and sighed, "But I can understand why he did this. Maybe it's out of guilt."
After having a child, she gradually understood some of the difficulties of being a parent.
What should have been the child's pride became the greatest shame in her heart.
Not only did he fail to protect her youthful dreams, but he also destroyed her beautiful expectations of this world.
Lin Yu was picking vegetables absentmindedly, thinking about what happened last night.
Chen Wan's moist black pupils were like deep water, with no end in sight.
Desperate, lonely, but struggling to make waves.
Both of them had their own concerns and had not finished the work in their hands properly.
When Yuan Ke came in, he saw Lin Yu throwing the leaves for food into the trash can, but leaving the stems on the plate.
Qiao Yue leaned against the sink, holding an egg in her hand and thinking.
"You two, are you discussing in the kitchen?" He looked at Qiao Yue with some amusement, and glanced at the vegetable leaves in the trash can.
Lin Yu came back to his senses and smiled awkwardly.
"Look at you, you're not good at anything except eating." Qiao Yue bared her teeth, pretending to be angry and drove him out.
"What were you thinking about just now?" Yuan Ke took the egg from her hand and knocked it against the edge of the bowl.
Qiao Yue skillfully stirred the egg liquid and cut the tomatoes.
"Chen Shan is gone, and his whereabouts are unknown."
Yuan Ke hummed, "He must have had his reasons for leaving this time."
Qiao Yue nodded. "I think so too, but you said his condition..."
As she said this, her cell phone rang and she glanced at the number.
An unfamiliar landline number.
After a moment's hesitation, the call was answered. "Hello, who are you looking for?"
There was a cough from the other end, and a dull voice replied to her, "Officer Qiao, I'm Chen Shan."
Qiao Yue and Yuan Ke looked at each other, and she asked, "Where are you now?"
Chen Shan was silent for a moment. "I'm in the hospital. I contacted you this time because of Chen Wan. She's going to take the college entrance examination tomorrow. I want you to take good care of her these few days."
Qiao Yue's tone turned colder after hearing this, and she said with a half-smile, "As her father, don't you fulfill your obligations?"
There was a long silence on the other end, and then the voice replied with difficulty, "I am not worthy of being her father. Now I am just a burden on her life."
Chen Shan also had his moments of high spirits, but he went astray.
The contempt from the outside world destroyed his dignity, and the sense of destruction caused by his internal self-degradation completely broke down his psychological defenses.
This society is, on some levels, so cruel that it makes people numb.
A person's life can be completely rejected just because of a stain or an idea.
Qiao Yue is a police officer, and sometimes she tells herself that she shouldn't empathize with criminals.
I believe that there are prodigal sons who return to the right path in this world, but I don’t believe that people can reform themselves. This is a kind of prejudice.
People's hearts can change at any time, and good and evil are just moral boundaries drawn by oneself.
Therefore, we should not be too demanding of others, nor should we question their remorse.
She still felt sorry for Chen Shan.
"How do you know that Chen Wan will definitely..." I was planning to comfort him, but I heard a noisy voice from the other end of the phone.
It seemed to be the sound of metal colliding.
Chen Shan coughed a few times quickly and said hurriedly, "Officer Qiao, I'll leave Chen Wan in your care."
The phone was hung up, and the busy tone interrupted Qiao Yue's words.
I called again, but the number was unavailable.
Yuan Ke thought for a moment, "Since Chen Shan specifically mentioned this to you, don't tell Chen Wan yet."
The college entrance examination was approaching, and Qiao Yue nodded in agreement to prevent her from being distracted by this matter.
But this brief call made her feel a little uneasy.
"Let's go and have dinner." Yuan Ke took her hand and told her not to mind it.
Qiao Yue sighed and suppressed her uneasiness.
However, he did not expect that this call would cause quite a stir in the future.
Thoughts: Qiao Yue said, "I am a woman with a script." Hehe, when I was writing about Wanzai and Xiaolin looking at each other, I was smiling the whole time. Is there anything happier than a mutual crush?!
