Chapter 216 Meeting Gift
"You're not going to tell me who in your family made it, are you?" Tian Xin couldn't help but ask.
Lin Zhou was frank and didn't hide anything: "Yes, my mother did it!"
"Your mother made this?" Tian Xin was shocked again. She held the clothes and looked at them again and again, praising them: "Auntie's craftsmanship is really good. The workmanship is exquisite, comparable to that of a professional tailor!"
"It's okay!" Lin Zhou said calmly, "My mom is quite picky. Sometimes when she's not satisfied with the costumes the theater makes for her, she'll make her own alterations. Over time, she's become adept at making these kinds of clothes. These are better than the ones sold outside! I used the size I found online that's similar to your height and weight, but I don't know if it'll fit."
"It doesn't matter. I'm not going to wear this dress anyway. It's very useful!" Tian Xin said as she put the dress on her hands. She raised her head and said to Lin Zhou seriously: "Say thank you to Auntie for me!"
"What are you thanking me for?" Lin Zhou stood up and walked a few steps towards her, then pulled her over and leaned against the car door again.
"My mom said this is a bit shabby as a meeting gift. She told you to keep it for now. I'll give you something better when I actually meet you!"
"A greeting gift?" Tian Xin's eyebrows knitted together instantly, and a layer of "frost" formed on her face, which had been smiling just now. She looked up at Lin Zhou and said in a deep voice: "Are you kidding?"
"Do I look like I'm joking?" Lin Zhou smiled and reached out to smooth her brows: "As the future mother-in-law, my mother was nervous for several days when she heard that it was going to be given to her daughter-in-law, worried that you would dislike it!"
“…”
These words startled Tian Xin so much that she didn't react for a long time. She just stared at Lin Zhou for a few seconds. When she came to her senses, she immediately folded the clothes, put them in the box, and handed it back to Lin Zhou.
"What does this mean?" Lin Zhou looked at the clothes she handed over, his face full of confusion: "You don't like it?"
"No!" Tian Xin said calmly, "It's too expensive. I... I can't accept it!"
"It's just a piece of clothing, not worth much money. Don't think too much!" Lin Zhou pushed gently and pushed the box into Tian Xin's arms.
"It's not about the money, it's that the thought is too precious! I can't afford it!" Tian Xin didn't know what to say. Looking at Lin Zhou's serious expression, she felt a mixture of emotions in her heart.
She put the box back in Lin Zhou's hand, turned around and strode back: "You go back! I'm busy these days, don't come over again, and don't call me, roaming charges are expensive!"
"Where are you going?" Lin Zhou caught up with her, holding the box, and asked her anxiously.
"Go home!" Tian Xin walked forward quickly without daring to look back.
"No, I'm asking where you're going these days? Are you going to travel?"
"Going out of town!"
"What are you doing out of town? What happened?"
"Nothing happened? I'm going to solve the problem!"
"What's the problem? Do you need help? I..."
Tian Xin suddenly stopped, turned around and called softly: "Lin Zhou..."
The turn was so sudden and swift that Lin Zhou, who was following behind her, had no time to react. The two of them bumped into each other...
“…”
“…”
The air suddenly became quiet!
Lin Zhou was stunned for a few seconds, then he put his arm around her and said, looking at the box in his hand, "Tian Xin, stop trying to put me off. Didn't you just say you loved it? Why do you suddenly want it gone?"
"I told you, this is too valuable, I can't accept it!" Tian Xin raised her head, looked at Lin Zhou with complicated eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Stop it, Lin Zhou! Our relationship hasn't reached this point yet..."
"What did you say?" Lin Zhou's expression changed before he finished listening. His once gentle face was now gloomy, and his eyes were full of disbelief: "What do you mean by 'enough is enough'?"
He lowered his head and leaned closer to Tian Xin, his tone slightly angry: "It's just a piece of clothing. If you don't like it, just throw it away. Why say such harsh words?"
As he said this, he raised his hand and was about to throw the box to the ground.
Tian Xin was startled and quickly grabbed his wrist and screamed: "What are you doing?"
"Throw it away!" Lin Zhou said sullenly, "Since you don't want it, then this dress has no value! Keeping it will only cause me trouble, so it's better to throw it away!"
"What are you crazy about? After all, this is Auntie's gift. Is it easy to make it stitch by stitch? Are you going to ruin it like this?"
"In that case, then you take it!"
"I……"
Tian Xin was choked and speechless for a moment. She retracted her outstretched hand, turned her head and whispered: "I can't take it!"
"Then don't throw it away!" She turned around immediately, looking panicked: "It will be useful in the future..."
"What's the use?" Lin Zhou looked at her and couldn't help but sneered: "You don't think I will keep it and give it to someone else one day in the future! I tell you," he put his face close to Tian Xin, his tone was a little cold: "Absolutely not!"
"You...why are you so stubborn?"
"So what did you mean by 'enough is enough'?" Lin Zhou's voice couldn't help but rise a few notches: "After all this time, what have I done wrong? You, and your mother, why do you always stab me in the heart? Every time I try to take a step forward, you push me back. Tian Xin, what do you want from me?"
"Didn't I tell you? I need time. Why are you always so anxious?" Tian Xin frowned, her face full of confusion: "It's only been a short time, and you let Auntie go to so much trouble to send me clothes. What if later..."
She paused, skipped the middle sentence and said, "How do you embarrass me?"
"Oh, I'm really impressed!" Lin Zhou couldn't help scratching his head, looking speechless: "What are you struggling with?"
"I……"
"Do you mind that my parents are divorced and the family relationships are complicated?"
“…”
What's the connection? Tian Xin was stunned and immediately explained: "No?"
"No? Then why were you and your mother so rude after dinner at your house last time?"
Lin Zhou blurted out the question, then realized something was wrong and immediately explained, "It's nothing, actually? It's normal to mind! I should have guessed it earlier!"
His face became increasingly gloomy and distressed.
Before Tian Xin had the time to ask him "what is his attitude", she was suddenly interrupted by a voice.
"Who's making that noise at the door?"
“…”
The two of them were standing at the entrance of Tian Xin's alley, less than ten meters away from their neighbor's house. Perhaps the shouting was too loud and disturbed the people inside.
The two of them shut up immediately!
Uncle Li laughed and glanced at the two of them: "Oh, it's Xinxin! I thought it was a couple fighting. It's okay, it's okay, hehe..."
“…”
Tian Xin was so shocked by this sentence that she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She wanted to laugh but felt it was inappropriate, and she didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Lin Zhou couldn't help but burst out laughing. Seeing Tian Xin's embarrassment, he immediately replied, "Grandpa, I'm so sorry to bother you! Well, we were just joking!"
"It's okay, it's okay! It's normal for a young couple to quarrel, just don't fight!" Uncle Li looked at Lin Zhou with a smile and asked, "You are the son-in-law of the Aiying family, right?"
???
son in law?
Tian Xin and Lin Zhou looked at each other, their eyes suddenly widening wider than copper bells...
Tian Xin grabbed Lin Zhou and walked towards the alley, saying as they walked: "Uncle Li, please go back! It's hot, don't get a heat stroke!"
Uncle Li didn't leave. He stood at the door, watching the two people leave, and kept chattering: "Young man, listen to what I say: when a young couple lives together, you have to give in to your wife and don't always argue! Xinxin has a bad temper..."
“…”
"Hahaha... this grandpa is so interesting! How do you think he..."
Lin Zhou was being held by Tian Xin's hand, looking back as he walked. His face, which had been gloomy just now, had now turned from cloudy to sunny, and his mouth was almost crooked with a smile.
Tian Xin sighed and replied calmly, "Mr. Li has Alzheimer's and doesn't even know what he's saying! Just listen to it, don't get it wrong!"
That's such a pity! Lin Zhou thought.
After they walked a few steps, he turned around and found that they had arrived at Tian Xin's house.
Li Aiying came out of the house with her bag and was about to lock the door, apparently preparing to leave. Seeing two people coming from the alley, she opened the door again: "Lin Zhou is here?"
