She was waiting, waiting for Lin Chen to return on his own. During this time, Lin Ruoyan took good care of her, which gradually dissipated the resentment she felt towards Lin Ruoyan. Even Lin Ruoyan had provided her with Lin Chen's current address.
The moment she stood at Lin Chen's doorstep, her heart was filled with excitement and anticipation. However, when she actually saw Lin Chen, she hesitated. She just wanted to see him, even just for a moment. So, she stood there quietly, unable to suppress her inner impulse, and stepped forward to hug him tightly.
Feeling his heartbeat and warmth, a happy smile involuntarily appeared on her lips.
Ever since that unforgettable night at the "Boundless Joy" club, she hadn't laughed, and for a time, she hadn't even spoken. But now, she couldn't help but smile, and tears of happiness streamed down her face. Those tears fell onto Lin Chen, as if telling of the deep longing and affection in her heart.
Lin Chen also sensed her unusual behavior behind him. He sighed and said, "Songzhu, don't hug me so tightly! I'm not going to run away!"
He felt that Jin Songzhu's grip on him was incredibly strong! You have to understand that Jin Songzhu was originally very thin, with very slender arms, so where did this rampaging little girl get such strength?
In the end, he forced Jin Songzhu's hand to go, otherwise he would not be able to breathe!
Turning around, she looked at Jin Songzhu, who was completely different from the Jin Songzhu she remembered.
She's become more attractive because she's lost weight, and her body has also undergone a second development; she used to be super flat-chested, but now she's noticeably curvy.
Lin Chen cupped Jin Songzhu's face in his hands and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with his thumb.
"How have you been this past year?" Lin Chen asked softly. He hadn't contacted Jin Songzhu during his long stay in Lu Tiancheng, and he had no idea how this unruly little girl had managed to get through the past year.
A happy smile graced Jin Songzhu's face. "I'm doing very well," she said, like a little woman. Then she wrapped her arms around Lin Chen's waist and pressed her face against his chest.
Lin Chen felt that the position was a bit ambiguous. Although Jin Songzhu was already an adult and should be considered a sophomore in college, her baby face made her look very young and she was a typical fair-skinned, thin, and slender type, which made Lin Chen feel a little uncomfortable.
"Lin Chen, I miss you so much."
The voice was soft, yet remarkably clear in the quiet. Lin Chen would not reject the girl's confession.
"Me too."
He picked her up in his arms and carried her upstairs to his room.
It was inevitable that a few maids would pass by and witness this scene. However, the maids Lin Chen hired were all tactful and knew exactly what to ask and what not to ask, what to see and what not to see. This was why their wages were twice that of their colleagues.
Upon entering the room, Lin Chen placed Jin Songzhu on the bed and then gently stroked her hair.
Jin Songzhu is very beautiful, with a youthful face like that of a middle school student experiencing first love, making it hard not to feel affection for her.
The two of them were tender and dependent on each other, filled with warmth.
Wang Nanshan and Liu Xinxin were unfortunately not there at the right time, and Liu Tiantian had not returned either.
"Have you been in Haizhou all this time? Are you still in school?" Lin Chen asked.
Jin Songzhu shook her head.
“I also took a leave of absence after you left the school. Fortunately, Director Yao Shuang kept my student status and gave me some money,” Jin Songzhu said.
"Her? Why is she so good to you?"
"Maybe he's trying to make it up to me?"
Lin Chen had just messed with his eldest sister, Lin Ruoyue, and now his second sister, Lin Ruoyan, had suddenly become so kind, which made it hard for him not to have a headache.
"And what about you? You did so well on the college entrance exam again, will you still go to Haizhou University?" Jin Songzhu asked.
Lin Chen playfully flicked Jin Songzhu's nose and laughed, "For the sake of my little Songzhu, I have to go back!"
"Forget it, who knows who you're doing this for!"
Lin Chen was taken aback, and feeling guilty, he didn't dare to reply.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
Wang Nanshan and Liu Xinxin returned at this time.
"Hey, when I introduce you later, don't say anything out of line," Lin Chen hurriedly gathered his thoughts and nervously reminded him. He knew the scene might be a little awkward, but since it was already happening, he had to bite the bullet and go through with it.
As soon as Wang Nanshan and Liu Xinxin entered, they saw Jin Songzhu standing next to Lin Chen. Her appearance caused a hint of surprise to flash in both of their eyes. Especially Liu Xinxin, as a perceptive woman, she immediately noticed the unusual look in Jin Songzhu's eyes when she looked at Lin Chen.
Seeing this, Lin Chen quickly introduced, "Uncle Nan, Sister Xin Xin, this is Jin Songzhu, my classmate from university. We were quite close back then, and we even interned at the same company together. She came to see me today, so I invited her to my home."
Although Lin Chen's explanation sounded reasonable, Liu Xinxin still felt something was off. After all, given Lin Chen's current status and position, how could he possibly maintain such close contact with an ordinary classmate? Moreover, Jin Songzhu's gaze towards Lin Chen was clearly full of affection.
The three of them sat down in the living room. Liu Xinxin, under the guise of pouring water, secretly observed Jin Songzhu. She noticed that Jin Songzhu was always intentionally or unintentionally getting closer to Lin Chen; at times, her body was almost pressed against him. What surprised Liu Xinxin even more was that she seemed to see a hickey on Lin Chen's face!
The doubts in her heart grew wildly, and Liu Xinxin decided to find an opportunity to find out the truth. When she saw the maid carrying a quilt and sheets, she immediately called out to the maid: "Come here for a moment."
As the maid approached, Liu Xinxin sniffed the blankets. Although she didn't smell anything particularly unusual, countless possibilities flooded her mind. She couldn't help but sigh, thinking to herself: This girl looks too young. Is she really just Lin Chen's classmate? It feels like my daughter, Ya Ya, could call her "little sister" already? Lin Chen has gone a bit too far this time.
"Uncle, sister, I'm leaving now." Jin Songzhu didn't know that Wang Nanshan and Liu Xinxin were a couple, and she instinctively stood up to say goodbye.
"Sure, come visit often in the future," Wang Nanshan replied with a smile, showing little wariness towards the young girl.
However, after Jin Songzhu left Lin Chen's house, a blush crept onto her face. She hurried past the drying sheets, as if every minute she stayed there made her uncomfortable!
