Chapter 203 It was a wrong payment after all!
[It was mainly due to objective factors in their family. His parents came to City G to develop their business. He could have stayed in City B if he wanted to, but he still followed them. He just didn’t break off contact with his former junior high school classmates.]
[So he actually knew some of the news over there, and he also knew that Lin Qingchuan's popularity in the class had improved a lot, because several people in the group he contacted said that Lin Qingchuan was not as cold as before.]
Yu Jingmo understood: "So he is anxious?"
But to be honest, they are so far away from each other, and even if there is any overlap in their social circles, there is not much. How can Ji Lu be so anxious? If you don’t know, you might think that he has some idea in mind for paying so much attention to Lin Qingchuan!
[Yes! Your first encounter was indeed an accident, but the following times were more or less intentional.]
Yu Jingmo nodded, and only then did he feel his mouth was a little dry. He stood up to pour some water, but suddenly remembered something and paused.
"Then did Lin Qingchuan discover this and dislike him, or did Ji Lu do something to him when he was a child?"
The sound of flipping pages came from my mind, and then the system spoke in surprise:
[That’s right! Originally, when Ji Lu approached Lin Qingchuan, Lin Qingchuan was quite happy and really wanted to treat Ji Lu as a friend, but later they met again at a banquet.]
[Ji Lu tried to attract Lin Hui's attention. He was still a child at the time, so his disguise was not good enough. His behavior and language showed that he disliked Lin Qingchuan too much. Not only did Lin Hui see that something was wrong, but Lin Qingchuan also felt it and began to distance himself from him.]
Yu Jingmo was thinking while pouring water.
After all, Lin Qingchuan is just a supporting character in the original book, and many things about his childhood are not described in detail, or simply not described at all.
It was the first time she knew about this. Obviously, this incident must have had a significant impact on Lin Qingchuan, who had just experienced a huge change in her life at that time.
As expected, an unfortunate childhood requires a lifetime to heal, but Lin Qingchuan experienced even greater malice when he grew up.
If he isn't crazy, then who is?
She was so absorbed in her thoughts that she didn't notice the cup was already full of water. It wasn't until she felt a slightly scalding sensation through her fingertips that she came to her senses.
Just as he was about to be thankful that she had poured some cold water into the cup in advance, before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, an anxious voice exploded in his ears:
"Oh! Madam, why are you distracted while pouring water? Did you get burned? I'll get you some medicine!"
Yu Jingmo quickly looked up and found that it was her auntie who came to cook. Seeing that she was about to rush out to get the medicine, she quickly said, "No need, auntie, I'm fine!"
The aunt subconsciously paused for a moment, and she took the opportunity to continue quickly, "I'm really fine, the water is not hot, there is cold water in the cup."
The aunt quickly stepped forward and took Yu Jingmo's finger and looked at it carefully. There was only a little red from the heat. "Are you really okay? It doesn't hurt, right?"
Yu Jingmo nodded sincerely, "It's really okay, don't worry."
The aunt exhaled and said angrily, "Madam, you must not be distracted when pouring the water. It will be terrible if you get burned!"
Knowing that the other party had good intentions, she immediately expressed her opinion, "I know, I was indeed careless this time."
Auntie smiled with relief, "Okay, go sit out for a while, and you'll be able to eat soon."
Yu Jingmo nodded again, turned around with the cup of water and prepared to go back to the living room to sit down, but stopped when he thought of something.
Thinking back, I feel that it shouldn’t be the case.
She stood there for a few seconds, but in the end she said nothing.
She remembered that Lin Hui had said before that this aunt came from the old Lin family house and had taken care of him when he was a child.
Because she was older and didn't want to stay in the Lin family's old house, Lin Hui let her return to City G.
Since she couldn't stay idle at home, Lin Hui hired her as an hourly worker and only asked her to be responsible for the hygiene of the house where he would stay when he was on a business trip.
But my aunt likes cooking more, and when she knew they were coming, she took over the cooking job directly.
So she is actually quite familiar with Lin Hui, but...
She didn't really get burned, so she shouldn't "complain", right?
Yu Jingmo thought about it and looked towards the kitchen again. She felt relieved when she saw her aunt cooking skillfully with a gentle smile on her face.
Because before lunch she unconsciously ate most of the snacks she bought, and only ate half of what she usually ate at the main meal.
Fortunately, my aunt left after cooking, otherwise I would have to make another note of it.
After dinner, Yu Jingmo digested the food and went back to his room to take a nap for more than an hour.
It wasn't long after we got up that we had to go to the airport.
The plane landed at 5:30, which should have been the time when Lin Hui just got off work, but she saw him as soon as she got out of the station.
"Didn't I tell you that you don't have to come?"
The man took the suitcase from her hand, held her hand, and said with a smile, "I want to come."
Yu Jingmo raised his eyebrows slightly, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously, "You are quite good at it!"
Lin Hui held her hand but did not rush to leave. Instead, he lifted her hand and looked at it carefully.
Yu Jingmo's heart skipped a beat. "What are you doing?"
As if he was sure that he didn't see anything wrong with her hand, the man put it down but didn't let go. Instead, he held her hand and walked out.
"Auntie Lan said that you got distracted while getting the water today and burned your hand."
Yu Jingmo: “…”
After all, it was the wrong payment!
"It's not scalded. I told Auntie Lan that the water is warm."
"Yeah." Lin Hui heard it from Aunt Lan, otherwise he wouldn't have been holding back and waiting for Yu Jingmo here.
But even if I knew, I could only feel completely relieved after checking it myself.
"Did something happen? Why were you distracted when you were getting water?"
Yu Jingmo did not hide it. After getting in the car, she told him about her encounter with Ji Lu again.
Lin Hui frowned, "What did he do?"
Yu Jingmo shook his head, "He said he wanted to make friends with Lin Qingchuan, and wanted me to help connect them."
Lin Hui's frown suddenly relaxed, "So what did you say?"
Yu Jingmo glanced to the side and said, "Of course I rejected it gently."
Anyway, I didn’t do anything to ruin his image!
Lin Hui's deep eyes were filled with smiles. "I know, why is that?"
Yu Jingmo didn't care whether he really believed it or not, and continued, "I was wondering what he had done to Lin Qingchuan before, but I roughly guessed it."
Lin Hui hummed, and when he lowered his eyes, his gaze slid across Yu Jingmo's hand on his leg. It looked flawless, and his palm was delicate and soft, but in fact, there was a thin layer of calluses on the knuckles from holding the paintbrush.
You can't feel it unless you hold it in your palm and feel it carefully, which makes people love it even more.
But if there were red marks and blisters caused by burns on it, Lin Hui's eyes suddenly darkened, and he couldn't help but frown deeply just thinking about it.
He turned to look at Yu Jingmo. He originally just wanted to have someone keep an eye on him at home in the future, but he couldn't help but say, "Don't be distracted in situations like this in the future. Nothing is more important than your own safety."
