Chapter 141 Back - The Sickly Young Girl Eating Watermelons in the Courtyard

After Wang Qiaomei found out from Lin Shu, her desire to talk to Lin Shu decreased, so after washing the dishes, the two of them went home!

Lin Qing had been paying attention to the situation outside. When he saw them leave, he immediately came out with the clothes.

Just when Lin Qing thought that no one would come out anymore, Jiang Li from the east room came out.

Lin Qing heard footsteps and turned around to see that she was also carrying a basin of clothes out.

Lin Qing raised an eyebrow. They were actually out washing clothes too. But then Lin Qing thought about it and felt it was quite normal. Aunt Gu was not the type to help with housework when her daughter-in-law had to go to work. So in order to get to work on time the next day, Jiang Li had to wash the clothes that she had changed the day before that night. Otherwise, she would not have time to wash clothes the next day.

Lin Qing and Jiang Li didn't have much in common. Although they were neighbors, they didn't communicate much.

So at this time, both of them were at the sink at the same time, silently washing their own!

Compared to Jiang Li who had to wash a basin full of clothes, Lin Qing had it much easier. She only needed to simply wash and clean her own clothes!

Jiang Li was not so lucky. Her two children were at the age when they liked to attract cats and play with dogs. Their clothes were also very dirty and she had to rub them very hard every time she washed them to make them clean.

Jiang Li felt an inexplicable jealousy when she saw Lin Qing washing the clothes with just a few rubs. Yes, it was jealousy.

Before Lin Qing married into the family, Jiang Li never felt that there was anything wrong with her life. Although she married into the family as a stepmother, the man was promising and treated her well, so her life was pretty good.

However, ever since Lin Qing got married, she thought everything was fine before, but after seeing Lin Qing's comfortable life, she felt that she was inferior to Lin Qing in every way, and something was wrong in her heart.

Obviously, Lin Qing was not much better than her, but why was she able to marry such a good man?

Jiang Li watched this every day, and her jealousy grew deeper and deeper.

Lin Qingke had no idea what she was thinking. After washing the clothes, she returned home leisurely.

She didn't plan to hang the clothes outside late at night, but chose to hang them in the kitchen and hang them out the next day.

Jiang Li looked at Lin Qing's back, her eyes dark as ink. She had just ignored him on purpose, but she didn't expect that Lin Qing didn't even say hello to her.

It was clearly her intention to ignore Lin Qing, but now it seemed as if Lin Qing was ignoring her instead.

If Lin Qing knew that Jiang Li had such a rich psychological activity, he would probably say: Haha, I'm still happy and at ease even if you ignore me!

…

The next day at noon.

"Ah~ I've finally finished this!" Lin Qing stretched in his seat, raised his head, twisted his neck, and stretched it!

Lin Qing glanced outside inadvertently, his eyes suddenly lit up, and the corners of his mouth curled up instantly.

"Ring, ring, ring~"

As soon as the bell rang, Lin Qing rushed out and ran to the man who had been waiting at the door for a long time.

"Brother Nan, are you done with your work?" Lin Qingxing looked at him with starry eyes.

"Yeah." Cen Xi was about to raise his hand to touch her head, but thinking that this behavior seemed inappropriate in public, he put his hand down.

"Are you waiting for me to have dinner together?"

"right."

"Okay, let's go!" Lin Qing couldn't wait!

She hasn't seen a man for almost a week, and she has a lot on her mind!

From the moment I saw him, the corners of his mouth had never fallen.

As soon as Wang Jiaojiao heard the bell, she looked up and saw her friend floating out like the wind. She followed her figure and saw the scene of young swallows returning to their nests.

It turned out that her man was finally done with his work!

This week, Wang Jiaojiao has seen Lin Qing in a daze many times. Now, she finally doesn't have to stare blankly and miss others anymore.

Wang Jiaojiao had no intention of disturbing them, so she just let the couple of good friends have a good time together!

Lin Qing and Cen Xi were walking to the cafeteria together. Lin Qing finally took time out from the excitement of their reunion to look at the man whom she hadn't seen for a week.

"Brother Nan, have you not eaten well this week?" Lin Qing said with a distressed tone.

"No, I always eat on time!"

"Why do you seem to have lost so much weight? And you have dark circles under your eyes. Did you not get enough rest?"

Cen Xi couldn't help but touch his face. Was it really that bad?

"And you haven't shaved your beard yet. You look a lot older. You must not have taken good care of yourself this week!"

"..." Cen Xi said nothing, feeling a little guilty.

All of their engineers have been working hard this week because they are under great pressure from their superiors. They are rushing to develop things. It is good enough that they can eat on time every day. How can they have time to take care of themselves?

"I really eat well!" This is not a lie. After all, researchers are also human beings. In order to conduct better research, eating is essential. After all, if there is a problem with the body, the research cannot continue.

Seeing that Lin Qing didn't believe him, Cen Xi said seriously again: "Really, I just don't have time to take care of myself."

"Okay, I'll trust you this time! Don't ruin your body! Don't let my body get better and then yours get worse!"

"Don't worry, I won't ruin my body. We will both be in good health in the future."

"That's a deal!"

"Yeah." Cen Xi was very happy.

In his heart, Lin Qing's words sounded like she was caring about him. He didn't feel impatient at all, he even enjoyed it.

The two went to the cafeteria to get their food and then found a relatively secluded spot to sit down.

Lin Qing couldn't ask him what he was researching, as all of this was confidential, so Lin Qing shared with Cen Xi what he had seen and encountered this week.

"Your niece is indeed a bit too nosy. Next time she continues to say such things to you, you can just directly fight back as before. I, your man, didn't say much, so why should she meddle in other people's business?"

Lin Qing smiled. She knew that this man would indulge her. "Well, I will fight back the same way next time."

Lin Qing also told him about the strange Su Shengnan.

After hearing what she said, Cen Xi took it seriously. "What do you think is strange about her?"

"She showed up so suddenly, and her attitude towards me seemed a little... um... that kind of weird, indescribable enthusiasm. Her enthusiasm was a little different from the enthusiasm Jiaojiao showed when she first saw me.

Uh...it's like...it's like she sounds passionate but her eyes are calm."

"She seems to keep asking me out. Don't you think it's weird? I don't even know her well. Why would she think I'd go out with a stranger?"

"Hmm... it's a bit strange."

"And I thought I would never meet that person again, but I didn't expect to meet him/her a second time. I always feel like there will be a third time!"

"Now that you put it, it's really strange!" Cen Xi narrowed his eyes and began to ponder. Why on earth was this person doing this?
