Chapter 118 Pity is Enough
Lin Yiyi felt that the atmosphere was set off enough. With red eyes, she suppressed her crying voice and asked the naked man softly, "If I lied to you, would you not be angry with me?"
Zhao Sheng's eyes were fixed on her, his fingers gently stroked her shoulders, his voice hoarse, "It depends on what you are lying about."
Lin Yiyi blinked twice, forcing out a layer of tears, staring at the man with tearful eyes, pretending to be helpless and telling the truth, "I actually never wanted to lie, but I had no choice. A few years ago, an accident happened in my family, and my parents sent me to a distant relative's house for refuge. Then I never saw them again and lost contact with them. Later, when I grew up, I found out the reason for my separation from my parents. The reason is very simple, because my mother is the daughter of a wealthy family."
"Later, I went to the countryside as an educated youth. As the daughter of a bad element, I couldn't reveal anything about my family to anyone. I didn't want to live a life of being mocked and insulted by others. I didn't tell you the truth and lied to you. I'm sorry. You're so nice. If... if you're afraid that I'll drag you down, I'll leave."
How could she leave her good life and suffer poverty and hardship? No way.
In the candlelight, her eyes were as bright as stars.
After listening to her simple account of the past, Zhao Sheng felt only distressed. He had seen how those people in the cowshed lived so many times.
Lin Yiyi was so young at the time, without her parents and living under someone else's roof. Thinking of her being looked down upon and wronged in a place unknown to him, crying in pain with no one to help her, Zhao Sheng's eyes were full of pity and hatred. He was afraid that she would catch a cold, so he carried her back to bed, wrapped her in the quilt and comforted her in a deep voice: "I was born into a poor peasant family, it's okay."
When other people encountered relatives defined by official labels, they would avoid them for fear of being implicated. However, Zhao Sheng didn't care at all. The man accepted it so quickly that Lin Yiyi felt that this was all in vain and her eyes were dry.
Since Zhao Sheng didn't care about his identity, Lin Yiyi directly stated her true purpose, and said timidly, "My father had an accident at the Northwest Farm. I didn't know their exact address before, but now he has contacted me and wants me to meet him. The letter said that my father's health is not very good and he has no money for treatment, so... so... can you lend me some money?"
Speaking of this, Lin Yiyi's face became hot and she felt a little embarrassed. Her voice became softer and softer, but she still subconsciously asked the man for help.
Because he was the only one she could turn to for help.
Zhao Sheng frowned instantly, his face serious. He didn't like her making such a clear distinction between the two and being so distant with him. "How much do you need?"
"I don't know either. The letter said that my father's condition was really bad and he wanted to see me for the last time. He didn't want to drag me down and was determined to die, so he chose not to receive treatment. But I can't just watch him die. I want to go to the northwest tomorrow." Lin Yiyi's eyes were hard, fragile and resolute, and she continued to speak with great uneasiness, "This letter was written 20 days ago. I'm afraid it will be too late if I don't go now."
Lin Yiyi explained the priorities of the matter clearly. Even though she had an idea in mind, she still looked weak and panic-stricken as she cast a hopeful look at the man.
It seemed as if he was the only person she could rely on and trust.
"What do you think I should do?" Lin Yiyi felt panicked, tears welling up in her eyes, and she looked up at the man.
"I'll take a day off tomorrow to take you there."
The Northwest is far away from them. How could Zhao Sheng feel comfortable letting her take the train alone? Thinking that the factory selection is imminent, he thought, forget it, there will be opportunities in the future.
Zhao Sheng knew what was going on, and said calmly, "I'll take care of things. Take a rest first. Go to the cafeteria to eat by yourself tomorrow morning, and then wait for me at home."
With the man's promise, Lin Yiyi stopped peeing like a cat and smiled slightly, kissing the man gently on his chest, with tenderness, care and affection.
The man felt her closeness and clinginess, and felt happy. He curled his thin lips lightly, let out a soft sigh, and deliberately put on a stern face to teach Lin Yiyi a lesson, "Don't talk nonsense in the future. There are tall people to handle the big things."
Lin Yiyi knew very well that Zhao Sheng was pretending to be aloof but was actually sultry. She nodded and agreed honestly. Anyway, the matter in her heart was perfectly solved. She could help the original owner to fulfill her filial piety, and she would not have to return to the original life because of exposing her label identity. To balance all the problems, she only needed to please him a little bit.
It’s really a good deal.
With a man like Zhao Sheng, everything is content.
Lin Yiyi spent the whole night particularly pestering someone, kissing them from time to time, touching them here, hugging them there, and coaxing a dark-faced rough man with the attitude of coaxing a child, calling him her darling. The man's body was stiff, feeling ashamed, happy, and embarrassed, and he felt that he had lost his masculinity. He pretended to be serious the whole night, but he never interrupted the woman's sweet words.
He looked helpless and had to follow her.
Because there were a lot of things to do the next day, he had to apply for leave, get a letter of introduction, and buy a train ticket. No matter how much Zhao Sheng was clinging to Lin Yiyi, he did not touch her body, but just hugged her and fell asleep.
When Lin Yiyi woke up naturally, the sun had already shone into the whole room. There was no one around her, so she knew her man had gone out to do something. When she got up yawning, Zhao Sheng came back with a large canvas bag on his back. He was holding a large bag in his left hand and a lunch box in his right hand.
As soon as he entered the door, Zhao Sheng began to remind him: "I knew you weren't awake yet. Have breakfast first. I've prepared everything. The weather over there is similar to this side, but it's windier. You should wear something warmer."
"The train at noon will take three days and two nights. Don't bring too much personal luggage. Just bring the necessities."
The man was taking care of everything. Lin Yiyi went over to help him take the things in his hands, but the man brushed her away with his elbow, "Go away, don't block me."
She's a woman with thin arms and legs. How can her man, who has all the strength, use her?
Lin Yiyi was not angry when she was rejected. She just looked at him with a smile and silently ate the breakfast he brought back.
She couldn't help but sigh in her heart, how could she repay the debt of favor?
