Chapter Fifty-Six: A Farce
Screaming and turning around, Lin Xiaolu first "poofed" and retreated for a while, touching the railing behind him, and then accidentally slipped his footsteps, and his head hit the glass plate next to the railing.
"Ahh
The back of her head hurt, she couldn't help but scream in pain, and then fell to the ground and sat down.
Fortunately, Lin Yun was also quick-eyed, and before she really fell, she bent down and reached out, grabbed Lin Xiaolu's arm in time, and lifted her up on the spot.
"Are you alright?"
Seeing Lin Xiaolu's painful grinning appearance, he subconsciously reached out and rubbed the back of her head, and saw that there seemed to be no wound, so he breathed a sigh of relief: "Lulu, you, be careful when you walk." ”
- "I'm not scared by you! ”
Lin Xiaolu stood up straight, took his hand away from the back of his head, and said with some indignation: "Don't suddenly talk behind other people's backs!" ”
"I see you two sneaking around here, of course I'll have to ask."
Lin Yun raised his eyebrows and said, "Lying on the third floor and watching for so long, do you really think I haven't noticed?" ”
In fact, he really didn't notice, and it was hard for the average person to imagine that there would be people staring at him on the upper floors of such a shopping mall. It's just that now that I can find out their whereabouts, I always need another reason.
Such a reason is somewhat far-fetched on weekdays, but fortunately, the two girls are following first, and they admit that they are at fault, so they don't doubt the excuse he gave.
"I'm sorry uncle, I was wrong."
Xia Liang's reaction was the fastest, and he immediately pretended to be a good child, and said with an innocent face: "I didn't mean to, I was just a little curious." ”
"Who is sneaky, but I am standing here openly!"
Lin Xiaolu's attitude was not so friendly, and he had just hit his head, and he covered the back of his head with one hand and said, "Can't I see what you're doing?" ”
"Then why are you here?" Lin Yun stared into her eyes.
Lin Xiaolu could only be silent and look away.
She shouldn't, but as always, she was not good at hiding her emotions, and her weak expression was vividly reflected, so Lin Yun knew it in her heart, and asked again: "Follow me?" ”
"I'm just curious." Lin Xiaolu muttered.
"You're curious too?"
Lin Yun suddenly felt a little funny: "You two are so aggressive, and you have been watching it here for so long, is it because of this?" ”
"Can't you? You're not, why do you have to dress like this on your day off?"
Lin Xiaolu, who was exposed, simply let it go, and admitted a little self-defeatingly: "It's so formal, I thought you were thinking about it this time, and you were planning to ...... it."
Only then did Lin Yun understand why she was here.
He glanced at Xia Liang, who smiled a little awkwardly, and lowered his head with some apologies, obviously knowing that it was not good to stalk others.
Also, what do you care about with your children?
He sighed to himself in his heart, simply erased the little dissatisfaction that was left, and looked at Lin Xiaolu to confirm:
"You think I'm going to get you a stepmother?"
"Or else?" Lin Xiaolu raised her eyes to look at him, and her expression was a little puzzled.
"How is that possible? Even if you want to find it, you must be asked for your opinion first. ”
Lin Yun shook his head, and then sighed a little: "You, probably can't remember clearly, today is obviously your mother and my wedding anniversary." ”
Lin Xiaolu couldn't help but widen her eyes.
"Wedding anniversary?"
She muttered the words in her mouth, and for a moment she stammered: "Huh? However, it was clear that there was no ...... last year or the year before that."
"Because this year is the fifteenth anniversary, and the last time your mother and I commemorated this day was the tenth anniversary, when you were only 9 years old."
Lin Yun continued to explain: "What's more, you also know that we will have to visit your mother in another week, and I have to prepare some gifts for her." ”
"Ha......" Lin Xiaolu let out a breath from his mouth a little sluggishly.
Letting go of the hand covering the back of her head, she looked at Lin Yun in a daze, lowered her head again, and repeated again: "That's actually the case...... I thought ......"
She didn't even know why she was so relieved.
His father didn't come out to date other women, but just to honor his mother.
Although it still doesn't mean that he has nothing to do with the woman named Hong Sihe, or that he doesn't know Delphinch, at least it shows that she has those cranky thoughts in her head when she comes......
Lin Xiaolu felt her cheeks hot.
Xia Liang on the side laughed and gently touched her arm: "I told you, it may not be what you think, right?" You don't believe it. ”
Lin Xiaolu glanced at her, knowing in her heart that she had made a big mess, but her temperament was not the type to shut up and suffer, so she subconsciously wanted to open her mouth and reply.
But before she could say anything, she suddenly saw Lin Yun's somewhat sentimental expression, and her heart felt as if she had been poured a puddle of cold water, and the words that came to her mouth were swallowed back.
“…… Got it, I was wrong. ”
She honestly admitted her mistake and whispered, "If that's the case, then I'll go home later." ”
"That's all it, what are you going to do when you go home now?"
Lin Yun sighed, and tried to make an arc on his face: "Since you are here, then come and help me advise, just choose a gift for your mother together." ”
"I ......" Lin Xiaolu looked at him with some hesitation, after knowing that she had made a mistake, she didn't know how to speak.
"Let's go." Lin Yun patted the railing and pointed to the bottom of the patio, "Or are you not going to go to the tomb next week?" ”
"How is that possible?"
As soon as this topic was mentioned, Lin Xiaolu became energetic again and whispered: "If you don't go, I'll go." ”
"So what are you waiting for?"
Lin Yun opened his legs, took two steps in the direction of the elevator, and looked back at her: "Or do you want to continue to stand on this and be a marshal on the command platform?" ”
“…… Do you think I want to? ”
"Let's go, then." Lin Yun urged.
"Okay, got it."
"Is there anything you want to eat at noon?"
“…… Ice cream. ”
On the other side, Xia Liang, who watched the whole process, saw the gradually harmonious atmosphere between the father and daughter, and smiled with some relief.
Maybe there is a little envy or even jealousy in my heart, but these feelings are secondary. What's more, Lin Xiaolu is her friend, she can get along with her parents, and she can feel happy for them.
"So, uncle, Xiaolu."
She waved her hand to the two of them, with a smile on her face: "Since that's the case, then I'll go back by myself first?" ”
"You ......" Lin Xiaolu frowned, and wanted to say something.
It's just that she just spit out a word from her mouth when she was interrupted by Xia Liang: "Xiaolu, you should also study the gift, your mother will be very happy." ”
She didn't give Lin Xiaolu a chance to finish the words in her mouth, even if they all knew that this sentence might be retained.
But in her opinion, now is a rare opportunity for the father and daughter to communicate well in front of her, and she doesn't need to be here like a light bulb, it will only make everyone feel uncomfortable.
So, when she had said that, she turned around, quickened her pace, and walked towards the crowd as if she wanted to escape. But before she could get into the crowd, she was finally stopped by a voice from behind her.
- "Classmates over there. ”
The man behind him said, "If it's okay, you can also come with Xiaolu?" ”
“…… No need, thank you uncle, it's convenient for me to go back by myself. So she turned around and smiled down.
"What's polite, you're Xiaolu's classmate, your name is Xia Liang, right?"
Lin Yun tried his best to make his face and tone appear gentle: "Thank you for accompanying her to mess around like this, so I have to thank you too." ”
He actually didn't know what Xia Liang was thinking at this time, but it didn't prevent him from remembering that night, Xia Liang, who rarely showed his fragile side, said to Delphinch, "Don't be partial".
Although he is not a delphinch now, and the other party will not recognize this, this is not an excuse for him to leave this girl aside.
"Come along, I'll treat you to lunch, and then drive you home."
He looked at Xia Liang and said with some seriousness.
Xia Liang looked at him and opened his mouth slightly, but he didn't know how to continue refusing.
"Don't go there, mother-in-law."
Lin Xiaolu on the side also found an opportunity to finish speaking, clasped her hands, looked sideways and said, "Didn't you say before, why do you want me to be like your own family?" So far, it's pretending? ”
Xia Liang looked at Lin Yun, then at Lin Xiaolu, and found that they were all looking at him with some kind of concern.
Reason told her that she was just an outsider here, and seeing other people's close family relationships was nothing more than inner torture.
However, in the sensibility, she yearns for this kind of relationship that she can't ask for.
Should I be close to them? She would reproach herself like this, trying to stop herself,
At this time, the concern and invitation of the father and daughter in front of her knocked open a gap in this self-imposed barrier, which made her feel a warm current in her heart.
Forget it, let's be willful at this time.
Remembering someone's teachings, she nodded, revealing a somewhat helpless, but heartfelt smile:
"Well, you're welcome."
