Hidden truth
Ye Lin returned to the Ye family. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Ye's father, Ye's mother and Bai Zeyan sitting at the dining table waiting for Ye Lin, with a table full of delicious dishes.
Mother Ye spoke first: "Linlin, come quickly, wash your hands and eat first."
Ye Lin nodded, cleaned up, and sat down at the dining table. Father Ye said, "Let's eat."
"Linlin, are you okay living alone?" said Ye's mother.
"fine."
"How's your job search going?"
"It has been found."
Upon hearing this, Bai Zeyan understood and thought that the DY Group deal was done.
"That's good, that's good." Mother Ye seemed to be unable to find any transitional words. She glanced at Father Ye and then looked at Bai Zeyan.
Bai Zeyan received Ye's mother's gaze and said to Ye Lin, "Little Ye Lin, you must take good care of yourself and pay attention to your health so that your family won't worry."
Ye Lin said, "Yeah." Bai Zeyan knew what Ye's mother meant, but he didn't ask. Ye's mother was obviously a little strange, so it wasn't the right time to ask too much. With Ye Lin's intelligence, she would definitely be suspicious. He could only find a chance to ask later.
Ye Lin had long noticed something different about her mother. It was obvious that she hadn't told her something. Even though Bai Zeyan had tried to imply that Ye Lin lived alone and her mother was too worried about her, it still felt a bit far-fetched. Not to mention that Ye Lin had studied abroad before and needed to take care of herself, it didn't make sense that her mother was so worried now that she was back home living alone. She also wondered why her mother was suddenly so worried about Ye Lin's health. You have to know that Ye Lin had been in good health since she was a child. She had never been seriously ill, and she hadn't even had a fever a few times. Ye Lin naturally noticed the loopholes in their words, but she also knew that they truly loved her. Perhaps they didn't want her to know some things for her own good. Since they didn't say anything, Ye Lin wouldn't ask about it, so she just pretended not to know.
After looking at Bai Zeyan, Ye's mother said nothing more, feeling somewhat anxious. "Linlin..." Ye's father frowned and tugged at the corner of Ye's mother's clothes under the table.
Ye's father was reminding Ye's mother. Ye's mother also knew that she had lost her composure a little, so she changed the subject of what she was about to say, "Linlin, I've learned a few new dishes recently. How about trying them?"
Ye Lin said, "Okay." She reached out to pick up some food.
Ye Lin smiled, "It's delicious."
Mother Ye picked up some food for Ye Lin and said, "Then eat more."
"Um."
When Ye Lin lowered her head to eat, the smile on Ye's mother's face gradually faded, and she sighed sadly in her heart.
When they were almost done eating, Ye's mother said, "Linlin, don't go back today. Stay at home for one night."
Ye Lin refused, "No, Teacher Jiang asked me to attend a lecture at Peking University tomorrow, and I have to go back and prepare."
Ye's mother wanted to keep Ye Lin, but she couldn't find any good reason.
"Let Zeyan take you home. It's not safe at night." Ye's father said.
"Okay." Ye Lin nodded and did not refuse.
Before leaving, Bai Zeyan nodded slightly to Ye's mother to show his comfort.
Ye's father and mother watched them leave. Ye's father put his arm around Ye's mother's shoulders. Ye's mother was very worried.
The reason why Ye's mother asked about Ye Lin's physical condition so anxiously was that it would be fine if Ye Lin was fine now, but she was afraid that if Ye Lin really had a physical problem, she would hide it from Ye's father and mother and didn't want them to worry.
…
Bai Zeyan and Ye Lin were walking on the asphalt road. It was dark all around them. Only the street lamps were shining, which shone on the pitch-black ground, as if it was covered with a layer of light.
"Xiao Lin'er, when I first met you, you were only that old, and now you've grown up so much. You should take care of yourself more often. Don't neglect your meals when you're busy with academic research or work. Otherwise, when you grow up, you'll be full of problems and you'll regret it. DY is a good place, and working there will be more stable."
"I see. When did you become so long-winded?"
"If there's anything you can't tell your family, just tell me. Don't handle everything by yourself. I can still protect you for a few more decades before I retire."
Bai Zeyan said he wanted to touch Ye Lin's head, but Ye Lin pushed away Bai Zeyan's hand that was trying to put on her head.
"Tsk, when you were little you always followed me around and asked me to teach you this and that, but now you won't even let me touch your head."
Ye Lin didn't give Bai Zeyan a good look and deliberately said, "Didn't you say you had something to talk to me about? I just happen to have something."
Bai Zeyan's face darkened when he heard this. His mind was filled with thoughts. He wondered if Ye Lin was going to tell him about that incident. If that incident really happened, how should he deal with it? Many thoughts surged in his mind. He said with a serious face, "Don't be afraid. Tell me."
Ye Lin naturally noticed the change in Bai Zeyan's attitude, "I want to drive."
"ah?"
Bai Zeyan didn't react at first, then realized that he was overthinking it, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Forget it, I'm afraid if you drive a few more times, I'll have to retire early."
Ye Lin asked playfully, "Protect me?"
Bai Zeyan laughed dryly to hide his embarrassment.
"We're just ahead. No need to see me off. Go back. I'm leaving now."
Bai Zeyan stood there, watching Ye Lin's figure gradually disappear into the distance, and couldn't help but sigh with melancholy: "Alas, I don't know what to do next. Can little Ye Lin get over this hurdle? Forget it, let little Ye Lin live in peace for one day at a time."
