Lin Xinyu originally thought that the gifts prepared by the little girl were fruits, but when he walked closer, he realized that it was actually a scarf prepared for grandma.
"When did you buy it? I don't know."
Normally, the two of them were together no matter what they did, so he must know Bai Shihan's every move, not to mention something like buying a scarf. With his silly personality, it is impossible for him to go shopping alone.
so……
"No, I didn't buy it."
"You didn't buy it? Did you knit the scarf yourself?" Lin Xinyu exclaimed in surprise, looking a little unbelievable.
"Well... what I learned before wasn't good enough." Bai Shi said a little guiltily, fearing that her grandmother would think the scarf she knitted was not good.
But in fact, the little girl worked very hard, and actually knitted much better than others’ first attempts. She was not satisfied only because the time was too tight and it failed to meet her inner expectations.
"Good, it looks good. Grandma, I like it very much."
Because the people were not very far away, grandma could hear clearly what they were saying and understood what the little girl was worried about, so she said this.
"Really? Yes, I will weave better next time."
After receiving the compliment, Bai Shihan was very happy and her cheeks flushed, making her, who was already pretty and had delicate skin, look exceptionally beautiful.
"Grandma, please take a rest first. Mom and Dad are still buying groceries and will be home in a while."
Lin Xinyu brought two chairs from the side, placed them next to his grandmother, asked her to sit down, and then poured a few glasses of water for Bai Chen and the others.
It was just that Bai Chen's expression was obviously a little off, but because the old man was still beside him, he didn't show it.
As for Qiu Jingyun, she still had a smiling face as before, unlike Bai Chen, whose face was filled with unhappiness.
"What's wrong with you? It's like you took the wrong medicine." Qiu Jingyun took Bai Chen aside and asked in a low voice.
"It's okay, what could happen?"
"Your emotions are written all over your face, but you still say it's okay." They have been together for so long, how could she not see what her husband is thinking? "You are unhappy because Shihan didn't knit a scarf for you. Look at you, you are so old, and you still..."
"How could I be unhappy? How could I be unhappy because of this matter?" Bai Chen immediately interrupted Qiu Jingyun, obviously feeling guilty.
"You're still saying no." Qiu Jingyun shook her head, sighed softly, and reached out to fix his clothes. "You, you just care too much about your reputation."
"Who said that..." Bai Chen retorted stubbornly.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh.
Although I feel a little bit stubborn, I have to admit that I am a little envious of Lin Xinyu and the others.
As for why he didn't say it in person, it was entirely because he had done something wrong before, so he didn't dare to ask Bai Shihan whether his father had any gifts.
If he could do it again, he would definitely praise his daughter when she asked if the gift was nice, instead of ignoring her and being busy with work.
Not only that, it also made the little girl focus all her attention on studying, which eventually led to Bai Shihan having to give up these little hands-on fun and listen to her family and learn something she didn't like.
So even if Bai Chen was unhappy, he was too embarrassed to say anything to Lin Xinyu, because he knew very well that he had no right to say anything. After all, as a father, he had never cared about his children, and he couldn't even do basic things like giving his children birthday presents.
This made Bai Chen feel extremely ashamed.
Qiu Jingyun looked at her husband and knew that he was indeed hurt this time, but she was too embarrassed to speak up and couldn't bear to comfort him any more, so she could only change the subject: "She is our daughter, are you afraid that she won't knit for us in the future?"
"That's right." Upon hearing this, Bai Chen suddenly felt much more relieved and a smile appeared on his face.
“You!”
Seeing her husband like this, Qiu Jingyun couldn't help but shook her head. He is almost 40 or 50 years old, but how come he looks like he is in his twenties?
However, she found that since the change in the relationship between her husband and daughter, she had become much more lively. The sad look on her face in the past had gradually disappeared, and she would occasionally look cheerful.
Qiu Jingyun was very pleased about this, and she felt at ease that at least it would not affect the relationship between father and daughter.
…
"Grandma, we are only freshmen now. We will consider getting married after we are settled there. Shihan and I will come back to see you often." Lin Xinyu noticed that his grandmother was drinking water slowly and hurriedly added more.
"Okay, grandma will wait for you to come back."
The old man smiled and nodded, with deep love in his eyes. Usually at this age, he obviously doesn't have many thoughts on his mind, and is as innocent as a child. The only thing he wants to see is his grandchildren getting married. If he can wait until they have children, it will be even better.
…
When Li Zixuan and Lin Yangjun came back from buying groceries, it was already past half past eleven, and grandma had gone to bed early.
Old people are like this, especially Grandma Lin, who likes to be busy. She definitely won’t accept being asked to sit all the time.
"Grandma, we just need to prepare the meal. Mom and Dad just came back. Why don't you go out and take a look?"
"They're back now. Grandma, go check on them first and make sure the firewood doesn't burn too strong."
"Well, grandma, please drive slowly and be careful."
"Grandma knows."
After watching the old man leave, Lin Xinyu retracted his gaze and looked at Bai Shihan next to him: "So you have been knitting scarves secretly these days."
"Well...you, you have it too!"
The little girl obviously misunderstood and thought he asked this because he didn't have his share, just like when he first confessed his love to her, that if she didn't have anything to eat, she would have to be his wife.
"Me too? How many have you knitted during this time?"
"Six...six."
Lin Xinyu did a simple calculation. There were already six people in total, including himself, his grandmother, his parents, and the other party's parents. Judging from the little girl's temperament, it was obvious that she had not prepared for herself. As for Bai Wenjie, it didn't matter whether he was there or not. It was estimated that even Bai Shihan might not have thought of him when she was weaving.
"Oh yeah, why didn't your brother come with you?"
When he thought of Bai Wenjie, Lin Xinyu realized that he was the only one who didn't come. When he called last time, he heard Bai Chen say that he would bring him back. But now...
"Wenjie? I don't know either. I almost forgot about Wenjie."
…
at the same time.
Bai Wenjie was very happy. He didn't know why his father didn't take him home. In this way, he could continue to stay near the school and accompany his senior sister.
Such an opportunity only comes once in a lifetime.
"Sister Wen, do you think this is pretty?" Bai Wenjie pointed to the flower basket in his hand.
"It's very beautiful. Aren't you going home for the New Year this year?"
"I probably won't go back. I'll spend the New Year here with you." Bai Wenjie had already thought of a reason. He planned to use staying here for a field trip as an excuse and would not go back no matter what.
He had no idea that it was because Bai Chen and the others had forgotten about him. It was not that they thought it through and did not want him to go home. Not only Bai Chen, but even his sister had forgotten his scarf when she was knitting scarves for everyone. He didn't know how she would feel when he found out.
But fortunately, I am happy now. After all, Wen Jingshan is with me to celebrate the New Year, so both of us can relax a little.
"What a coincidence, we have similar ideas."
Hearing Wen Jingshan's words, Bai Wenjie raised his eyebrows in surprise.
He originally wanted to stay with the other party here for a few days, then go back around the New Year and come back a few days later, but he didn't expect that the other party simply planned not to go back.
"Why don't you go back, Senior?"
"fine."
Wen Jingshan obviously looked a little depressed, but she didn't want to speak, so Bai Wenjie didn't ask too many questions. He just sat quietly beside her and chose to accompany her. No matter what happened to her, having him there was enough.
The reason why she didn't want to speak was because her parents were divorced. It's not that she didn't want to go home, but she didn't know which home to return to.
From childhood to adulthood, Wen Jingshan has basically taken care of herself. Apart from sending money to her mother every month, she has never contacted her mother on her own initiative. She simply can't find a reason to go back.
Even now, there is no affection between her and her parents, even if some of the words were said by them themselves.
So at this juncture, she didn't dare go back to face them, or rather, she didn't want to see them at all. Even if she just saw them from a distance, it made her heart waver, because she once longed for family warmth.
This is also why she has never planned to fall in love, and has even been avoiding it, because she is worried about facing Bai Wenjie. Although this brother has no bad intentions, she still does not want her vulnerable side to be exposed in front of him.
"Senior, I will always be with you." Bai Wenjie keenly captured the other party's emotions and subconsciously wanted to comfort her.
Wen Jingshan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly looked up at him, a complex expression flashed across her eyes, and she said softly, "Thank you."
Who would want to live alone until the end of their life if they could?
She also wants to have family members, friends who care about her, elders who love her, and a boyfriend who loves and spoils her.
It's just that she doesn't want to drag others down, not to mention...
Wen Jingshan sighed. She didn't want to drag anyone down anymore.
"Senior, we are best friends, aren't we? Don't keep any difficulties to yourself. When you need help, just tell me. I will always stand by your side."
After hearing what Bai Wenjie said, Wen Jingshan was silent for a while, then nodded and accepted his kindness.
Because she knew very well that if she didn't agree, the other party would definitely find ways to understand the reason why she was unhappy. After all, her brother was very simple and confident, and only wanted to make him happy. He would never think about what secrets were hidden in her heart.
"Senior, why don't we go shopping? I'll pay for everything today."
"What the hell are you buying? As an older sister, of course I'm the one paying for it." Wen Jingshan patted his arm a little harder.
"It hurts, it hurts, sister is too strong, be gentle, I can't bear it."
"Stay away from them from now on, you hear me? They only learn bad ideas."
Hearing such ambiguous words, Wen Jingshan knew very well that it must be Kong Yu or Lin Xinyu who asked Bai Wenjie to say something with double meanings in order to make girls blush.
"Senior, they didn't teach me anything. I know what I can understand and what I can't understand."
"Huh? Knowing you still have those discs at home?"
Wen Jingshan looked at him sideways.
Bai Wenjie quickly raised his hands in surrender: "It's not what you imagined, I just...last time, it was Brother Kong Yu who came to my house and put it there, and he didn't take it away."
Seeing his slick appearance, Wen Jingshan couldn't help but laugh and scold him: "Stinky boy, I have eaten a few more years than you, so how can I not see what you are thinking."
Upon hearing this, Bai Wenjie immediately shut his mouth and remained silent.
"Okay, since you've decided to stay, let's go out and play together tonight, but you have to promise me one thing, drink with me."
The school was already on vacation, and there were only two of them, so she wanted to relax, but now there was one more person, so she naturally had to change her strategy.
But she is not the kind of person who forces others. If Bai Wenjie doesn't want to, she will definitely not force him. She is free anyway.
"drink wine?"
"uh-huh."
Bai Wenjie frowned and thought for a moment before nodding: "Okay, then I'll accompany you, senior sister, but you can't drink too much."
"Just don't drink it all."
It was already noon, and people usually drink at night, using the daytime to vent their emotions. The reason why Bai Wenjie didn't refuse was because he could see that Wen Jingshan was unhappy. If it were any other time, he would definitely have dissuaded her.
result……
"It really is a one-cup knockout." Wen Jingshan had a headache.
She had never seen Bai Wenjie drink these before, she was just guessing, who would have known that there were people in the world who would pass out after just one glass of beer? She was the one who wanted to vent her emotions, but ended up being the one who took care of him, it was simply...
"I can't like you."
After putting Bai Wenjie on the hotel bed, Wen Jingshan looked at the boy's steady breathing and couldn't help but put her hand on his face. If it were usual, she would definitely not dare to do so, but now that the other party was already in a deep sleep, this behavior was not very scary.
In fact, she had liked Bai Wenjie for a long time, but she was not sure and did not know how to express it. She could only secretly observe him and then kept her distance, wanting to wait for him to grow up and give up the idea of liking her.
But she suddenly found that she was a little reluctant.
Especially when she thought of what he had just said, about not keeping it in her heart, his serious and focused expression made her heart skip a beat, as if there was a voice deep in her heart telling her not to back down.
Before Wen Jingshan could recover from the shock, her cell phone rang. It was Bai Wenjie's phone.
Judging from the comments above, Wen Jingshan was obviously feeling guilty and didn't dare to accept the allusion. She had clearly been taking good care of the other person's brother before, but now she actually had the idea of falling in love with him. She felt a little embarrassed.
