Lin Xuanjiao was a little curious about Shi Chengyu's behavior, and she didn't hide it. She asked with a hint of doubt, "Shi Chengyu, who are you showing this to? You treated Lin Xuanjiao like that before, and now you're acting like this again."
Perhaps stung by Lin Xuanjiao's question, Shi Chengyu's face turned pale and his expression was a little embarrassed. Facing Lin Xuanjiao's question, he looked a little embarrassed: "I... I don't think about her."
Lin Xuanjiao sighed inwardly at Shi Chengyu's embarrassment. Shi Chengyu didn't seem to dislike Lin Xuanjiao that much, and even seemed to have a hint of fondness for her. But what good was that? He only showed concern after the other person was gone.
"So what's going on with you now? Shi Chengyu, why didn't you come and stop the malicious rumors being spread about Lin Xuanjiao here? Are you just going to watch her face get humiliated like this?"
Shi Chengyu listened to these accusations, his body swaying, his voice a little weak: "I just thought that if she couldn't bear it anymore, she could go back and not have to stay here and suffer."
Lin Xuanjiao scoffed at Shi Chengyu's pale explanation, her face revealing no disguising of sarcasm. "Shi Chengyu, you're not a child anymore. You should know the specific circumstances surrounding Lin Xuanjiao's going to the countryside. You should also be aware of how you went there yourself. How could you have gone there so easily without your parents' consent?"
Shi Chengyu couldn't help but tremble when listening to these questions. He knew a little bit about how he went to the countryside. Although his parents didn't agree, it was too easy for him to get the household registration book. It was too easy to stop someone from going to the countryside with his parents' power.
He knew this vaguely in his heart, but he had always deliberately ignored these things. He had always selfishly thought that Lin Xuanjiao had come to the countryside just for him. Although he acted indifferent to Lin Xuanjiao, he couldn't help but feel secretly happy when he thought of this.
Lin Xuanjiao looked at Shi Chengyu like this, feeling increasingly unhappy. "Lin Xuanjiao grew up with you, after all. Regardless of how much you like her, you should at least take some care of her for the sake of the friendship between your two families and the fact that you grew up together! And yet, what do you do? You often give Lin Xuanjiao the cold shoulder and ignore her when she's bullied by those people."
Shi Chengyu felt a bit embarrassed after being accused by Lin Xuanjiao. His usual calm expression gradually collapsed. He shouted uncontrollably, "That's enough! Stop talking!"
Lin Xuanjiao was thinking about what this man had done, and didn't care about Shi Chengyu's collapse. Instead, she spoke even harder.
"You're waiting for Lin Xuanjiao to disappear, and you're pretending to care about her. It's really ridiculous. If you could maintain your attitude towards Lin Xuanjiao, I would think more highly of you. After all, she was the one who pestered you before. You didn't like her and showed impatience towards her, which I can understand. But why are you standing in front of me now and caring about Lin Xuanjiao so much? Shi Chengyu, you can't be in love with Lin Xuanjiao, right?"
The word "like" continued to echo in Shi Chengyu's heart. Did he like Lin Xuanjiao? No! He did not like Lin Xuanjiao. It was wrong for the two of them to be together. Their engagement was a feudal product, and such feudal ideas could not exist between them.
"No! I don't like Lin Xuanjiao. How could I like her?"
Shi Chengyu acted very anxious, as if his resolute denial could really prove that he had no feelings for Lin Xuanjiao.
Lin Xuanjiao didn't bother to pay attention to his self-deceiving attitude. "Then you should be happy. After all, Lin Xuanjiao will never appear in front of you again and won't bother you anymore."
Shi Chengyu froze for a moment, his voice hoarse and difficult to speak, "Will she really never appear again?"
"Of course!"
Lin Xuanjiao was extremely confident. She had accepted her fate and felt that there was no going back.
Thinking that she had to take a shower later, she was too lazy to stay here and continue to stimulate Shi Chengyu. She felt that if she stimulated Shi Chengyu a few more times, this guy might really get angry.
After saying these three words, Lin Xuanjiao left without hesitation and no longer paid attention to Shi Chengyu.
Shi Chengyu did not stop Lin Xuanjiao from leaving. He didn't know what he should do now. He just felt that all this was ridiculous. Why would Lin Xuanjiao change people?
No one would believe him if he told others about this. After all, this Lin Xuanjiao seemed to have the memories of the previous Lin Xuanjiao. She knew everything that happened to Lin Xuanjiao, and could even explain everything between him and Lin Xuanjiao clearly.
Lin Xuanjiao will really not come back, and the person who always pesters him and is called Shi Chengyu will really not appear in front of him. Thinking of this scene, Shi Chengyu suddenly feels that his breathing is a little difficult.
He felt like he had no strength in his body, and his whole body leaned against the wall, slumped there dejectedly. Lin Xuanjiao would no longer cling to him. Just as the man just said, he should be happy, but why couldn't he feel happy at all? He even felt like his heart was being tightly grasped by a hand, which made his heart ache.
Lin Xuanjiao left the backyard and went to the kitchen. She wanted to see if her hot water was ready. She had been chatting with Shi Chengyu for so long, so it should be ready!
She stood outside the kitchen and saw Qiao Ling and Meng Qi sitting together, their bodies pressed against each other, talking and laughing, the atmosphere was very joyful.
Lin Xuanjiao broke the relaxed atmosphere between the two and asked without hesitation, "Is my hot water ready?"
Qiao Ling turned around and saw Lin Xuanjiao coming. She nodded quickly and said, "The hot water is ready. Do you want some? I'll pour it into the kettle for you."
Lin Xuanjiao thought that there was not much hot water left in her thermos, so she did not refuse. "I want some, thank you."
Qiao Ling waved her hands quickly, "This is what I should do. You gave me clothes before and helped me so much today. I would feel bad if I didn't do something for you. Don't worry, I will take care of your hot water in the future."
Lin Xuanjiao wasn't polite. After all, she really didn't want to use the wood stove. "Okay, I'll do as you say. Don't feel like you owe me anything. What you've done will offset it."
Qiao Ling was very happy to see that Lin Xuanjiao agreed. She was afraid that Lin Xuanjiao would not agree, and she would not be able to do anything for Lin Xuanjiao to repay her. After all, she was poor and had nothing on her. It was difficult for her to prepare some thank-you gifts. Now she felt relieved to do something within her ability for Lin Xuanjiao.
