Chapter 64: All Caused by Dreams
Lin Shuliang was still asleep. She heard the sound of someone opening the door and wondered, didn’t she lock the door when she went to bed yesterday?
"Are you still not getting up?" Is this voice from Shen Xinghe? But why is it so gentle and pleasant?
She huddled under the covers. "Why did you come into my room? I was wearing pajamas."
"Silly~" Shen Xinghe said with a smile, his voice was moist and moist, making people feel very comfortable, "Last time you said you twisted your ankle, it was me who carried you out. Get up quickly, let's go out and play."
"Are you going out today?"
"Of course, I'll be wherever you are." His eyes were full of love.
Lin Shuliang took a sneak peek and said, "But I don't really want to remember it."
"If you don't get up, I'll kiss you, just like you kissed me." As he said this, he had already rushed over.
Lin Shuliang dodged, "Don't do this, haha... It's itchy, don't kiss me."
Then, I heard two cat meows, "Meow~Meow~"
She was so frightened that she sat up and said, "Cat, where did this cat come from? Mom, what are you doing?"
Cheng Lin stood at the door, looking at her in bewilderment, "I was just about to ask you what you were doing, the kitten rubbed against you a few times, why are you smiling so... weirdly?"
Maybe her mother wanted to say "swinging", but didn't say it out of face.
Lin Shuliang thought of the dream she had just had, and felt a chill. She scratched her hair awkwardly, "I didn't lock the door, how did you get in? And is this cat for me?"
"I see you've been having too much fun these days, your memory is messed up, you didn't lock the door. Didn't you ask for this cat a few days ago? It's a stuffed cat, it's so expensive!"
The cat was pretty, small and adorable. Lin Shuliang petted it twice and said, "Thank you, Mom! I will take good care of it."
"Get ready for dinner." Cheng Lin closed the door with disdain.
She pulled her clothes on and put them on, thinking back to the ridiculous dream she had just had, and patted her head. "Nude!" she said to herself.
Her brain must be crazy. It's been such a long time since that happened, but she still hasn't forgotten it. It seems like she hasn't had enough fun these days.
While waiting for her volunteer application, Lin Shuliang did a lot of things.
For example: traveling, eating big meals, sleeping for three days and three nights, buying a lot of clothes, etc. Her schedule is full.
Just two days ago, she and Luo Yun went to a cat cafe. Although the smell was a bit strong, the kittens were really cute! So she kept asking her mother to let her have a cat too.
Unexpectedly, it was done today. Although she was happy, she was still a little affected by the dream she had in the morning.
She stood on the balcony and saw Shen Xinghe.
He is a dull person (at least in other people's eyes). So he doesn't go out much, and even if he does, it's just for running.
This was fine. Lin Shuliang didn't want to run into him. After all, that incident was still a bit embarrassing. She hurried home to avoid being seen.
She had never been afraid of anyone, Shen Xinghe was the first one.
She named the kitten Lai Fu, which is down-to-earth. She thought the cat was too good-looking and should be given a less nice name so that it would be easier to keep.
But her Lai Fu seemed to dislike this name and wouldn't listen no matter how she called it.
She sat at home all day training Lai Fu to let him know his name was Lai Fu.
"Laifu, come out quickly, I'll give you something delicious to eat." She walked back and forth holding the cat food.
Shen Xinghe stood in front of her without knowing when, "I am so pretty, why did you give me such a name?"
"You...when did you come?" Lin Shuliang felt a little uncomfortable, it was all because of that dream.
"Just arrived."
"You know Lai Fu?" She had just obtained the kitten today, so how did Shen Xinghe know about it?
Cheng Lin came out with some fruit in her hand. "Because Xinghe found this cat, he refused to take the money I gave him."
Back to yesterday, Shen Xinghe met Cheng Lin at the gate of the community. She was carrying a lot of things, so he went to help her.
During the walk, Cheng Lin said, "They say a daughter is a mother's little cotton-padded jacket. My daughter is a real worry to me. She can't even come home on time, let alone a little cotton-padded jacket. You are still the best."
Shen Xinghe asked calmly: "Shuliang went out?"
"Yeah, she's been missing for a long time." Cheng Lin paused for a while, "She asked me to buy her a kitten a few days ago, so she would stay at home obediently. I want to find her, but I can't find her for the time being, so let her run around outside."
Shen Xinghe secretly made a note that the first thing he did when he got home was to contact his friends and have the ragdoll cat sent to him. In fact, he didn't know what kind Lin Shuliang liked, so he just asked which one looked the best and then chose the ragdoll.
He brought the cat over in the morning, but he refused to take any money Cheng Lin gave him.
So that's what happened. Lin Shuliang no longer cared about Lai Fu. "How can you not take the money? This is not good. How about this, since you don't want to take the money, I will take the money and treat you to a meal."
She wanted to find different ways to go out and have fun.
Unexpectedly, Shen Xinghe said: "No, if you really want to eat, I think we can just eat at home like last time."
After hearing this, Cheng Lin praised Shen Xinghe a few times, "I'm going to go buy some food now, how about you guys come with me? We can buy some staple food and barbecue supplies, so that we can have everything to eat."
Since we can't go out, can we invite someone over? Lin Shuliang suggested, "Can I invite a classmate over?"
"Of course, but it's definitely not possible here in our house. It's too small. Xinghe, take a look..."
"No problem," he said, "just you and I will clean the place together then." He said the latter part to Lin Shuliang.
She likes crowds and noise, so she agreed without hesitation.
I sent a few random messages, mostly about what we usually do together, and then told them that anyone who wanted to come could come over.
…
When they came back from buying groceries, there was already a bunch of people waiting at the door, led by Luo Yun, Xu Chen, Wang Zhiwen, and even Li Panxi!
Fortunately, there were many people, so it wasn't awkward. Lin Shuliang ran over with a smile, "You guys have been waiting for a long time, right? Shen Xinghe can open the door and you can go in."
Xu Chen took the things from her hands unconsciously, "We just arrived too."
Seeing what Xu Chen did, Cheng Lin asked Shen Xinghe, "Is that boy interested in Shu Liang? Or, are they in love?"
Shen Xinghe looked back, opened the door, and walked in front with Cheng Lin. He said, "No, they are classmates."
"Really? Don't lie to me, Auntie. I'm not that kind of a conservative person. The college entrance exam is over. I won't get involved."
He put the ingredients on the counter and stood there for two seconds. "Auntie is quite open-minded~"
"That's right. Back then, I was with your Uncle Lin very early on. It mainly depends on the person. I was afraid that she would suffer a loss." She spoke to herself without looking at Shen Xinghe.
Shen Xinghe wanted to say something, but Li Panxi came in and said, "Auntie, let me help you."
Who doesn’t like a pretty and well-behaved girl? Li Panxi wore a simple white dress and her hair was tied up high. At first glance, she was a good child in the eyes of her parents.
"No, go out and play. They are all playing outside."
"It's okay, I'm just bored." Her hands had already started moving, separating the pickled vegetables from the vegetarian vegetables in the bag.
She thought Shen Xinghe was going to stay here, "Xinghe, bring in the trash can from outside."
Shen Xinghe did as he was told, and when he saw that she had picked up the wrong bowl, he said, "This one is for vegetarian dishes. I'll get you another one." He said it frankly, but Li Panxi was not like that.
She smiled at him with the corners of her mouth, then lowered her head shyly and replied coquettishly, "Okay, thank you."
Shen Xinghe didn't think it was inappropriate, so after making the arrangements, he said, "Auntie, I'll go out and take a look."
"Go ahead, go ahead." She had been through a younger era and knew their thoughts best. From watching Li Panxi and Shen Xinghe talking, she knew that the girl liked him.
She smiled and asked Li Panxi, "Are you and Xinghe a couple?"
Li Panxi repeated her classic moves, this time adding a little shyness, "How can I explain this matter..." The best answer is not to say yes or no, just to release a smoke bomb and see what you think, but most people will misunderstand.
She knew that this was Lin Shuliang's mother, and she thought, there probably wasn't any mother who would like her daughter to be a mistress, right?
This matter should be stopped at the right time. Cheng Lin smiled gossipingly, "I understand! You should get out and stop staying here."
She couldn't say it, but she had already stepped out of the door. Unexpectedly, Luo Yun rushed in with a few girls. "Since everyone is here, let's go together. There is strength in numbers. This way we can enjoy the delicious food faster."
Li Panxi was also squeezed in by them and could only watch Lin Shuliang and Shen Xinghe busying themselves outside in the kitchen.
They bought more than a dozen barbecue racks and a series of special barbecue utensils, which now need to be distributed. Fortunately, Shen Xinghe's house is really big enough, and the backyard alone is enough for them to play.
Cheng Lin knew nothing and always ordered Li Panxi to deliver things. "Panxi, give this to Xinghe and ask him to divide it into several portions."
After she called him several times and she kept making faces, Luo Yun felt something was wrong and started to grab it, "Auntie, let me do it. She hasn't finished what she's doing."
Since the visitor was a guest, she naturally didn't want to say much and just let Luo Yun see him off.
Luo Yun went out and asked Shen Xinghe, "Did you say anything to Mother Lin? Or did Li Panxi say something? Why do I feel like she is trying to bring you two together? She probably doesn't know what Li Panxi did. She looks harmless, but she's actually very evil at heart."
Shen Xinghe didn't think too much about it. "That's just her personality. I'm busy over there, so I'll go over there."
The "over there" he was talking about was of course Lin Shuliang.
She was dividing the coal and forgot to wear gloves. Her hands were all black. She realized it later and said, "Ah! My hands."
Xu Chen laughed the most exaggeratedly, "You should worry about your face first!"
Wang Zhiwen came over and quickly pulled her to wash her face, "There are also dark spots on your face, go wash it quickly." A typical warm-hearted man.
Shen Xinghe saw this scene halfway through his walk. Men understand men best. He said with a half-smile, "It seems that I should have bought you gloves earlier, so that you don't steal others' gloves and steal their feelings."
Lin Shuliang walked along the way, and everyone else was laughing at her. She realized that only Shen Xinghe didn't laugh. She burst into tears of gratitude, "Brother, you are the most thoughtful."
Shen Xinghe would not say anything before, but at this moment he was particularly disgusted by this word. He asked back: "Who is your brother?"
Fortunately, the sound was not loud, and only they could hear it. Lin Shuliang was used to his attitude, "It seems that my great aunt is here."
She firmly believed that Shen Xinghe would have sex, otherwise why would he always change his face suddenly? But today he looked a little cute? It must be the result of the dream in the morning!
