Sister Yu Lin pulled the blanket over US and covered us both. She looked at me with her beautiful big eyes, “It just so happens that we haven’t talked for a long time. It wasn’t easy for me to find you. Come, tell me, how have you been these few years?”
Her pretty face was only about 30 centimeters away from me. I could clearly smell her body fragrance.
Moreover, it was covered with a quilt!
In a trance, it was as if I had returned to my childhood, when I often slept with her and covered her with a quilt.
Even when I was in junior high school, during the holidays, I would occasionally take an afternoon nap with her in high school.
It was not until she left her hometown that this kind of life ended.
But now, looking at her pretty face and white skin up close, I could no longer maintain my calm heart like before, and only felt that my throat was dry.
I didn’t dare to look at her. I only stared at the ceiling and spoke to her without saying a word.
Perhaps it was because I had slept for a few hours before dinner, but I couldn’t fall asleep. Instead, she quickly fell asleep and closed her eyes.
Hearing her steady breathing, I let out a long sigh of relief. Just as I was considering whether or not I should just get up and spend the night on the sofa outside, sister Yu Lin suddenly turned around and turned her back to me.
I was stunned for a moment before I realized that she had only turned around.
At this moment, sister Yu Lin suddenly turned around again. She stretched out her arm and hugged my neck!
I was instantly petrified!
When I woke up, it was already the next morning.
Sister Yu Lin was no longer in bed. There was a sound from outside. It seemed that she had gotten up to make breakfast.
I heaved a sigh of relief.
After being hugged by her last night, it took me at least another hour before I fell asleep.
Fortunately, I didn’t wake up with her. Otherwise, both of us would have been very awkward..
The pain in my body had lessened by a lot. I moved a little. I felt that I should be fine even if I woke up, so I prepared to get out of bed.
“Eh? Xiao Lu, you’re Awake?”Sister Yu Lin walked in from outside. She was still wearing an apron. “Let me help you up.”
“AH? No… There’s no need. I can get up on my own!”I was shocked. I flipped over and got down from the bed. I stood on the ground.
“Your pants are dirty. I’ll help you wash them,”sister Yu Lin said.
My pants were indeed dirty, but how could I let her wash them?
An idea flashed through my mind. I hurriedly said, “Ah, I’ll leave my changed pants at home. If I wash them, I won’t have any pants to wear. Sister, I’ll go back and wash them…”
Unexpectedly, sister Yu Lin said with a straight face, “Nonsense, are you going to keep wearing dirty pants? No Way!”
A few minutes later, I helplessly lay on the bed, the blanket covering my body perfectly.
Sister Yu Lin, who had taken my dirty pants out, walked in again. “Can you try these two pairs?”
I was stunned as I looked at the long pants and underwear that she placed beside my bed. “SIS, why do you have men’s things here?”
Sister Yu Lin rolled her eyes at me. “Who cares? Are You a city enforcement officer? Hurry Up!”
After a short while, I walked out of the guest bedroom with a bitter and red face.
On the contrary, sister Yu Lin didn’t seem to be out of the ordinary. She acted as if nothing had happened and urged me to eat breakfast.
Fried eggs, freshly squeezed fruit juice, and bread instantly made me feel refreshed. I forgot about everything else and started eating.
“Slow down!”Sister Yu Lin said in amusement, “How long has it been since you’ve Eaten?”
“My food is delicious!”I mumbled as I ate.
To be honest, including last night’s meal, it might have been the amount of food that an average person could eat for four or five people. However, I had almost swept it clean. Sister’s food was indeed much better than the food in the school cafeteria!
Of course, there was also the reason for the food expenses. When I was in school, I was always meticulous. I would usually only eat 60-70% of my fill for a meal. Seeing so much delicious food, it was naturally difficult for me to hold back.
“Hehe, really? Then eat more. I’ll give you my portion as well.”Sister Yu Lin smiled sweetly.
As I ate, my throat suddenly became a little choked. I couldn’t eat anymore.
Sister Yu Lin was shocked and asked, “What happened? Did You Swallow?”
I shook my head and didn’t cry. I took a deep breath and said, “I’m happy. It’s been a long time since I’ve had such an easy time eating.”
My family’s living expenses were only a few hundred yuan per month. In this city, I had to tighten my belt in order to survive.
My work-study program, the poverty support from the school, and the scholarship for each school year gave me quite a bit of subsidy. But who asked me to have a girlfriend?
That money could only be spent on Liang Xue, and sometimes even a portion of the living expenses had to be squeezed out for her.
It could only be said that there was a huge difference between having a girlfriend and not having a girlfriend.
For breakfast, it was usually a bowl of porridge with two steamed buns in the cafeteria, and lunch and dinner were often bought with instant noodles to avoid exceeding the tight living budget.
But I had always been willing and even felt very happy.
I had never discussed it with Liang Xue in detail, but I actually had a plan in mind. I would first take the undergraduate course, then if there was an opportunity and the conditions allowed, I would even take the postgraduate examination.
If the conditions didn’t allow, I would at least get an undergraduate diploma and a degree, have a better springboard, and then throw myself into social work. As long as I worked hard in the future, I would definitely have a bright future and bring Liang Xue a bright future!
However, this plan was already ruined.
Liang Xue’s heart was obviously not in me anymore. Guo Zhicheng, who was rich and willing to spend money for her, was the person she wanted to be with now.
If it wasn’t for Chen Hanwei taking care of me, she probably wouldn’t have changed her attitude towards me in the past two days.
“Did you eat badly in school?”Sister Yu Lin suddenly asked..
