Chapter 296 I Only Treat You as My Sister (14)
When Lin Shichu saw Meng Shiyang again, he not only looked haggard, but to make matters worse, he couldn't even keep his clothes neat and clean.
With her good eyesight, Lin Shichu saw the yellow sweat stains on Meng Shiyang's collar and his wrinkled shirt from a distance.
"Why doesn't Meng Shiyang look as handsome recently? He looks weird." Qian Qingqing, who was carefree, noticed something was wrong with Meng Shiyang. "Didn't he recover his former spirit two weeks ago? Why did he become like this again?"
How did it become like this? Of course it was because the hardworking Tianluo girl was taken away by her parents, and Meng Shiyang no longer had the help of a free babysitter.
The reason why Lin Shichu is not in a hurry to seek revenge on Meng Shiyang is because his current situation is the most torturous. He has to put aside his strong self-esteem and accept relief due to financial difficulties, and he has to take care of his grandmother who is unable to take care of herself and has become weird-tempered because of this, and he also has to maintain his intense studies... You can imagine how much mental pressure he is under.
This kind of torture is like a blunt knife sharpening a person's teeth. Lin Shichu felt that if she got rid of him all at once, it would not be seeking revenge on him, but helping him to be free. She would not do such a thing.
Meng Shiyang needs to fully experience the original owner's pain.
"By the way, Shichu, come to my house after school and spend the weekend there. Do you remember the little puppy from the Lian family? His housekeeper asked us to go and play with the dogs!" Qian Qingqing quickly put Meng Shiyang's matter behind her and enthusiastically invited Lin Shichu.
Lin Shichu said indifferently, "Okay." She went to Qian's house to do homework with Qian Qingqing, and Qian's mother welcomed her very much.
Lin's father and mother originally complained about Lin Shichu always going to Qian's house on weekends. After all, if Lin Shichu didn't go home on weekends, he would not be able to help them take care of Lin Cong, nor could he cook or clean the house.
But Qian Qingqing's mother was very good at dealing with people. She personally called Lin Shichu's mother and praised Lin Shichu, saying that she was beautiful, had good grades, was smart and sensible, and that her parents must have educated her well! She also asked Lin's mother how she could raise her child to be so outstanding.
Lin's mother was so flattered by Qian's mother that she proudly taught Qian many secrets of raising children. She also agreed to let Lin Shichu go to Qian's house every weekend because Qian's mother said that if two children study together, there will be a better atmosphere and they can learn better...
Lin's mother, who had been fooled by Qian's mother and had forgotten her original purpose, was in a daze after hanging up the phone. It was not until Lin's father asked her when her daughter would come home that she realized with regret that not only had she not called her daughter back, but she had also allowed her to go out for the rest of the weekends. She could not go back on her word, so she had to accept it.
However, without Lin Shichu as a laborer, Lin's mother had to do everything herself. She was used to enjoying her daughter's efforts, but it didn't take long for her to find it unbearable. Lin Cong's toys were thrown everywhere, and snack packaging and paper scraps were never thrown into the trash can; and when Lin's father came home, he would take off his dirty socks and coats and throw them on the sofa, never throwing them into the laundry basket; the dirty dishes and kitchen utensils at home were piled in the sink, and no one would quietly wash them...
Mother Lin is almost driven crazy by housework, but the two precious men in the family, one big and one small, won't help her share the burden.
Lin Shichu didn't know this. She was already well acquainted with Qian Qingqing's family, and of course she was also doing well in the Lian family.
Every time she and Qian Qingqing went to the Lian family, they would see Lian Shangrui when they were about to leave. Lian Shangrui would always give her a painting. Most of the paintings were portraits of her, and a few were pictures of puppies playing or backyard scenery.
Sometimes Lin Shichu felt that it was not good to accept too many paintings from him and didn't want to accept them, but Lian Shangrui always insisted that she accept them. If Lin Shichu didn't accept them, he would look at her steadily, with his hands still in the motion of handing the paintings to her, very stubborn.
Every time this happened, the old housekeeper would plead with her to accept it. Lin Shichu couldn't bear to see an old man begging her like this, so she always compromised again and again.
"Shichu, I wonder what Lian Shangrui is painting this time? It's not another portrait of you, is it?" Qian Qingqing took a few sips of the drink and asked Lin Shichu, "I really don't know what Young Master Lian is obsessed with you. Although you are pretty, there are people in our class who are prettier than you. Why doesn't he paint other people but only you?"
Qian Qingqing didn't know that Lian Shangrui was a face-blind person and could only recognize Lin Shichu's face, so she was puzzled.
Up to now, Lian Shangrui has given Lin Shichu seven or eight portraits of her, and there are signs that he will continue to paint in the future.
"Oh, could it be that he really likes you? But it doesn't seem like it. If he does like you, why is his attitude so cold and he doesn't even ask you out on a date..." Qian Qingqing dispelled this guess again.
Lin Shichu felt the cool breeze and said, "Maybe my face looks more artistic! Aren't artists all superstitious, focusing on things like rapport and inspiration? My face gave him inspiration to paint!"
"That's the only possibility!" Qian Qingqing suddenly realized, raised her thumb to Lin Shichu, then leaned over and stared at Lin Shichu's face carefully.
Lin Shichu's appearance in this life is not the type of beauty who is stunningly beautiful or alluring and enchanting, but rather a light and long-lasting appearance with a sense of distance. It is the type that does not seem stunning at first glance, but becomes more and more charming the more you look at it. She is like the famous Chinese model Du Juan, who is elegant when she wears light makeup and gorgeous when she wears heavy makeup. The saying "heavy makeup and light makeup are always suitable" is about her.
"Tsk tsk, I used to think you were just a dignified and pretty girl, and I didn't think you were a beautiful person. But now I feel more and more that your temperament and looks are outstanding, and you seem to be getting more and more beautiful... Is it because I have a filter for you?" Qian Qingqing said with self-doubt.
Lin Shichu rolled his eyes at her. What filter? It was obviously because after she came here, her soul slowly affected her appearance. Also, because she practiced internal strength and took care of her body, her posture and temperament improved. Compared with the original owner, she was just a high-end version. Qian Qingqing's feeling was not wrong. She really was getting more and more beautiful, but this was a subtle change, so people would not find it unusual. They would just think that Lin Shichu was changing slowly.
"Girls change a lot when they grow up! The ancients didn't lie to me, I see it in you." Qian Qingqing sighed.
Then he touched his face again, took out his phone and looked at it in the mirror, then wailed, "Why won't I change? Damn acne marks! Damn blackheads! Damn dark circles!"
In fact, Qian Qingqing is also a little beauty, but due to puberty, her skin is not very good. Compared with Lin Shichu's delicate skin, there is a little gap, so she cried like that.
