Time passed quickly. Although Lin Xinyu and Bai Shihan went to the same high school, most of their Christmas Eve and Christmas Day were spent with one of them going out to play while the other sat in his seat and didn't say anything.
Compared to high school, Christmas in college is more lively, with various entertainment activities emerging in an endless stream. At that time, even the boys on campus will choose to go out and relax themselves.
Some who are a little bolder will try to confess their love to the person they like on Christmas Eve, as love at this time is the purest.
Since the Internet has not developed very fast, the so-called fast-food love rarely exists here, unless it is the opposite sex that you met online. After all, you have never met in person, and it is possible that the person opposite you is also a man.
But it’s better this way, each of us gets what we need. Anyway, we don’t know the other person’s true identity, and a man can be used as a woman.
At this time, there were only two days left until Christmas Eve. In order to make the little girl braver, Luo Xixi and the others came to help. Unexpectedly, Bai Wenjie brought Wen Jingshan to where the four of them were.
The purpose of this gathering is to set up a stall on campus, package the apples, and sell them to other students on Christmas Eve. The price is reasonable and not too expensive to be unacceptable.
After all, Bai Shihan had never experienced setting up a stall outside. When she thought of the strangers coming and going, she felt a little scared and couldn't help but hold the corner of Lin Xinyu's clothes: "Will there be a lot of people that day..."
Seeing the little girl's timid appearance, Lin Xinyu's heart softened, and he reached out and rubbed her head: "Don't worry, no matter how many people there are, we just need to sell the apples."
"Then can I also get a share of the money from selling apples?" Bai Shihan looked at him with blinking eyes.
"If you want, I'll give you my share."
"Then I don't want it." The little girl immediately shook her head, "I don't want your money, I just want the money I earn myself."
Hearing the little girl's babyish words, Lin Xinyu immediately laughed, rubbed her cheeks, and pinched her nose: "You are always so cute."
The little girl's face was red, like a steamed shrimp.
Because it was close to winter, there was still some cold air outside, so the six people chose to pack the apples indoors. Some wrapped the apples in paper bags, some packed the apples in boxes, and some packed the apples directly in plastic bags...
In this way, Bai Shihan was quite interesting, and the people around me were all acquaintances, so they quickly joined in and helped with the packaging.
Lin Xinyu was giving her hands-on guidance. The little girl was a quick learner and learned it in no time. At least when packing, she would never make a mistake.
Luo Xixi and Wen Jingshan were standing nearby. As they watched this scene, they felt an inexplicable sense of envy in their hearts.
But a serious boy like Lin Jin wouldn't pay attention to these things. He just packed everything by himself. Seeing Luo Xixi not moving, he thought she was tired, so he started to help deal with the apples in front of her without saying a word.
Although the process was not as sweet as that of Lin Xinyu and the others, it also highlighted the romance in the straight man's heart. If it were in the past, how could Lin Jin do this.
As for Bai Wenjie and Wen Jingshan, they became the most unique among the six. It was not Bai Wenjie who helped or taught them step by step, but Wen Jingshan who was beside him, teaching him how to do it step by step, and the roles were successfully exchanged.
From this perspective, it seems that the relationship between the two is ambiguous.
This is not surprising. Wenjie is young, and as the older sister, it is understandable that Wen Jingshan takes care of her younger brother.
Lin Xinyu didn't care about other people's privacy. His only interest now was to pack apples with the little girl. Looking at the proud look on her face, he felt as happy as if he had eaten honey.
The six people divided the work and cooperated with each other. By the afternoon, they had processed all the apples. The remaining time was spent on finding a sales point in advance and bringing all the tables and other things over there to find a good location in advance, so that there would be no place to sell the apples on Christmas Eve.
After finishing this busy work, everyone planned to go back home to rest and then welcome the arrival of Christmas Eve.
Bai Shihan still sticks to Lin Xinyu. During this period, she has become accustomed to being with Lin Xinyu every day, even when sleeping at night. She knows that there is a high probability that he will bully her, but she just can't control herself.
This kind of clinginess made Lin Xinyu feel both amused and helpless, but he felt very happy in his heart, and even had a hint of secret joy, as if he had secretly raised a little wife.
"Don't you usually give me money? Why are you thinking about the money from selling apples today?"
On the way home, Lin Xinyu was driving and suddenly thought of this question.
The little girl was mysterious and whispered, "It's a secret."
Lin Xinyu didn't delve into it too much. After all, the other party was the kind of girl who couldn't hide anything. He didn't need to ask at all. He would be able to find clues from her in a few days.
After returning home, the little girl took a shower first, then ran over, hugged Lin Xinyu and kissed him, and then left contentedly.
In fact, it was not like this before, because before, whenever Bai Shihan went to take a shower, someone would find ways to get in. Finally, he had no choice but to compromise. Lin Xinyu had only one request - to kiss him before every shower.
That way he won't be tempted to peek.
At first, Bai Shihan did it with a blushing face. She used to kiss and run away immediately, but now she will take the initiative to kiss before taking a bath every time.
Of course, each time she only had a brief taste and did not go on, because she knew very well that if she did not leave quickly, the bad guy would make it take her a long time to take a shower, so after each kiss, the little girl would not stay and chose to leave directly.
Lin Xinyu thought they could take a bath together early, but he never expected it to be so difficult. He could only watch the girl leave, feeling extremely depressed.
Fortunately, after taking a shower, he was able to successfully vent his inner dissatisfaction.
Every time the little girl wakes up the next day, she will adapt herself first.
What made Lin Xinyu couldn't help laughing was what happened a few days ago. The two of them got up as usual, but Bai Shihan didn't feel anything wrong after getting out of bed.
In the past, she always needed to slow down, but suddenly she didn't need it anymore. The little silly girl thought that something was wrong with her.
At one point, he thought that he had been played by the bad guys, so he rolled up the quilt that night and did not give Lin Xinyu any chance.
It wasn't until she woke up today and felt familiar again that the little girl breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that everything was fine.
After getting up, she sorted out all the things. Since Lin Xinyu rushed to make breakfast, Song Jiali had learned her lesson. She would get up very early every day and prepare in advance, not giving them any chance at all.
She was originally hired by Bai Chen as a nanny. If Lin Xinyu made breakfast in the morning and Bai Shihan made dinner in the evening, then what was she doing here? To taste and evaluate the food that the couple cooked?
"Aunt Song, look at you. I told you not to get up so early in the morning. We can make breakfast ourselves." Lin Xinyu's words were full of concern.
"If you don't get up early, you'll take away my job. I'm supposed to take care of you, but instead I'm the one being taken care of by you." Song Jiali said angrily.
In fact, this is just a joke between familiar people, which is just proof of a good relationship.
In the eyes of Lin Xinyu and Bai Shihan, Song Jiali is not just a nanny, but more like their second mother. She has been responsible for taking care of them since high school. The two have long regarded each other as family members.
During the meal, Lin Xinyu once again suggested that she go back early to celebrate the New Year, but before he could continue, she was rejected again.
"If you keep saying that, I'll think you're kicking me out. Are you disgusted by my staying here?"
"No, Auntie, I just want you to go back early to prepare for the New Year."
It didn't matter whether it disturbed them or not. After all, he and Bai Shihan were on the second floor, and Song Jiali was on the first floor. They wouldn't bump into each other at all, so how could it be considered disturbing?
"Okay, don't worry. I'm having a great time celebrating the New Year here. It's the same back home. It's always very lively every year. There's definitely enough time."
"Okay, Auntie. We don't mind you. Shihan and I love you so much." Seeing this, Lin Xinyu didn't force it and quickly changed his words.
After hearing this, Bai Shihan nodded repeatedly.
At the same time, Bai Chen was considering whether he should call his daughter.
He wanted to discuss it with the other party, but Qiu Jingyun thought that they should handle this kind of thing between themselves and there was no need to discuss it at all.
"Shihan likes to overthink. If you tell her now, wouldn't that mean she won't be happy celebrating the New Year there?"
"What does the old man say?"
"What should I say? I'll just go and tell them that I don't agree to an arranged marriage. It's an era now, and we still need arranged marriages. As long as Shihan doesn't like it, it's useless to say anything."
This time, Qiu Jingyun's attitude was very tough.
In the past, she always chose to turn a blind eye, even if profits were secretly taken from the companies under her control, she would turn a blind eye. But now it is different, it is about her daughter's happiness.
"Okay..." Bai Chen sighed helplessly, then frowned and said, "However, you are not unaware of the old man's temper. I'm afraid this matter will be difficult to handle."
Hearing this, Qiu Jingyun snorted coldly: "Leave it to me. She will get married eventually. I have my eyes on Xiaoyu. He is good-looking and has a good personality. He is considerate and sensible. He is sincere to my daughter. Where can I find such a son-in-law?"
What's more, the little girl likes Lin Xinyu. If Lin Xinyu is willing to marry her, Qiu Jingyun has no objection. As long as it's not an arranged marriage, everything else is fine. Who knows who her daughter will marry in an arranged marriage? What if he treats Shihan badly...
She would rather her precious daughter marry Lin Xinyu. At least compared to other playboys, she was very confident in Lin Xinyu's character.
"It seems that you like that boy too." Bai Chen smiled.
Compared to other people, Lin Xinyu at least would not lie, and everything he said was sincere. This could be seen from what he was doing now, and he was indeed trying his best to protect the little girl.
"Of course I like it. I think this matter has been decided. If your old man says anything else, just say you don't agree."
"Okay, okay, I'll do as you say."
Bai Chen finally gave up the idea of calling Bai Shihan. No matter what, he still hoped that his daughter would be happy.
Since Qiu Jingyun insisted, there was no need for him to stop her. After all, this matter was not something that the couple could decide.
As for the old man, they didn't consider whether the little girl could live a happy life at all. It was all because the other party could give them corresponding profits and investments. If the eldest brother's family didn't have two sons, they would not have thought of Bai Shihan.
Before the couple could take a break, the cell phone rang.
Looking at the caller ID above, it happened to be the old man calling.
Bai Chen looked at Qiu Jingyun, and after seeing the other party nod, he chose to answer the call, and did not forget to turn on the speakerphone.
"Hey, Dad, um, just got up."
"It's good to just get up... Will Shihan come home after a while?"
Hearing such caring words, Qiu Jingyun frowned immediately, obviously hating such hypocritical greetings.
"I think so. What's wrong?"
"Oh, it's nothing. Shihan is not young anymore. It's time for her to fall in love. Don't you think so?"
Without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, Qiu Jingyun refused without hesitation: "Dad, Shihan has just started college and is not in a hurry to get married. Don't worry about it. Wait until she graduates from college."
"What do you know! How old is Shihan? Besides, didn't you and Jingyun get married at this time?"
"Times have changed, Dad. I know what you want to say. We will not consider an arranged marriage. There is no need to ask us anymore. We have already made up our minds. That is my daughter's own happiness." Bai Chen's tone was very calm and he did not support the arranged marriage at all.
In his eyes, marriage is nothing more than a tool to exchange for benefits. Such a relationship is doomed to not last long. In this case, it is better to give up the idea as soon as possible.
He already felt very guilty towards his daughter. If he agreed to the old man's proposal to arrange a marriage for Shi Han, then as a father, he would be clearly pushing her into the fire pit.
"you……"
The old man obviously didn't expect that Bai Chen would dare to refuse him and not even leave him room for negotiation.
"Dad, this is the only matter that cannot be discussed." Bai Chen did not back down at all and his tone remained calm.
"Okay, you've grown so powerful that you don't even listen to what your dad says?"
"Shihan is my daughter. I can still call you dad. If you want Shihan to marry again, I will take Shihan away from the Bai family."
After saying that, Bai Chen hung up the phone immediately without waiting for the old man to speak.
At this moment, Qiu Jingyun felt that she had made the right decision to marry the man in front of her. Although his actions were sometimes extreme, he truly loved his daughter.
"Do you feel that your husband is very manly?" Bai Chen put away his phone, gave his wife a faint smile, his face full of pride.
"Yes, that's what I admire about you." Qiu Jingyun nodded and praised generously.
"But if the old man asks us to leave the Bai family, will you really leave? Don't you want all the businesses you have?"
"What are you afraid of? I have all the liquid funds here. I knew they would do this and took precautions in advance. I just didn't expect that he liked my eldest brother and his family so much. At worst, I can just invest all my funds in that brat."
Qiu Jingyun smiled. Usually the other party always said that he didn't like Lin Xinyu, but as long as it required money for help or needed to use his connections, he would always solve the problem for the other party without saying a word.
This is also the reason why she likes this man. He is especially cute when he says one thing and means another.
