She Is From The Countryside - Chapter 419
419 The father and daughter don’t talk much
“What do you want to drink?” shi lin was the first to speak when they entered the milk tea bar.
shi yan was about to say anything, but then he thought that she rarely came to places like milk tea bar. it was his first time here, so he was afraid that he would feel uncomfortable. he took back the words he wanted to say.
“A cup of original flavor is good.”
!!
In fact, she didn’t drink milk tea often.
hearing her say this, shi lin’s eyes seemed to light up.
in his memory, shi yan didn’t have any preferences, and he didn’t have a direction to cater to her preferences. seeing that she had taken the initiative to choose one, he thought that it shouldn’t be her first time drinking it. he felt that she finally had some of the qualities that a girl of her age should have. she wasn’t so indifferent and heavy-hearted.
as a father, he was overjoyed.
moreover, she was willing to order and not just deal with it. this meant that she was not that unhappy to be with him, her father.
“You go find a seat and sit down, I’ll order.”
shi yan nodded and went to find a seat.
The milk tea bar wasn’t big, but it had two floors. The second floor was quieter. Shi Yan was about to go up to the second floor, but just as she reached the stairs, she heard Shi Lin ordering,”Two original, one warm, and one room temperature.”
shi yan stopped in her tracks and turned to look at him.
Not to mention his understanding, just from his uncomfortable expression when he walked into the milk tea bar, he really didn’t look like a person who often came to places like the milk tea bar. In fact, it was his first time here.
It was his first time here, but he was already so familiar with the order. It was very likely that he had learned about it in advance.
Her gaze lingered on Shi Lin’s face for a few seconds before she went upstairs with a complicated mood.
There weren’t many people on the second floor, only two or three.
she found a quiet spot and sat down.
after a while, shi lin came upstairs with two cups of milk tea. he handed shi yan the warm cup and left the room temperature one for himself.
before he handed it to shi yan, he helped her insert the straw.
“It’s a little hot.” He reminded.
“Thank you,” Shi Yan took it.
They subconsciously thanked him, but when the words came out, they were both stunned.
Shi Yan was the first to snap out of her daze. She spoke to ease the subtle atmosphere.”Father, you sit too.”
only then did shi lin return to his senses and sit down.
seeing shi yan take a sip of the milk tea, he seemed to be relieved and also inserted the straw into his cup to drink.
it was not the taste he liked.
he usually preferred to drink tea and coffee.
“have you seen your mother?”
“i’ve seen him.”
Shi Yan seemed to feel that his answer was a little cold, so he added with a smile,”i’ve seen her a few times. after mom came to haicheng, i stayed at the su family’s house for a night.”
“it’s good that you’ve met.”
The father and daughter were not talkative people, so there was another period of silence.
Shi Yan took a sip of milk tea and spoke first.”Where’s dad? have you seen my mother since you came to haicheng?”
She didn’t ask him when he had come to Haicheng, even though she didn’t know he had come.
“yes, i came from the su family’s house today,”
he didn’t let su wan know that he was here for shi yan. otherwise, su wan would definitely be worried and follow him.
“yes.” Shi Yan nodded.
there was another round of silence.
Shi Lin was a little regretful that he didn’t ask su Wan to come with him. If su Wan had been there, the atmosphere wouldn’t have been like this.
After a long while, Shi Lin opened his mouth again and took the initiative to say, ” “i arrived in haicheng yesterday.”
“I went to see Jiang che first.”
Shi Yan suddenly raised her head to look at him.
This was the most emotional moment Shi Yan and Shi Lin had experienced since Jiang che had left and left the two of them alone.
“don’t worry, i’m not making things difficult for him. i just want to see what kind of person my daughter has taken a fancy to.”
shi yan pursed her lips and looked at him without saying a word.
After not seeing her for so many years, Shi Lin somehow understood her meaning and said with a straight face, ” “You’re very protective of him, but you’re not happy that he passed you to see him. jiang wu is really capable. even my daughter, who doesn’t care much about anything, is completely devoted to him.”
He wasn’t angry, but his tone wasn’t very good either. He didn’t have any prejudice against Jiang che, but it was a little sour.
Shi Yan wanted to continue, but she didn’t know what to say. She wanted to choose not to speak, but when she looked up and saw Shi Lin’s face, which had more traces of age than before, she finally opened her mouth.”yingluo has nothing to do with his ability. i was the one who took a fancy to him first. When I first saw him, I didn’t know what kind of person he was.”
she was indeed very protective of jiang che!
then, he thought of what she had just said and his expression became a little strange.”Are you trying to tell me that you’re interested in his face?”
“you can say that.”
If it wasn’t her face that caught her eye at first glance, what else could it be?
“Then you really are Yingluo.”
“shallow?” Shi Yan interrupted him with a smile. it does seem a little shallow.
at the mention of jiang che, she had something to say, unlike just now when she had been silent and he was always the one who took the initiative to find topics.
for a moment, shi lin’s mood became even more complicated.
although he was a little upset that his daughter had been kidnapped so early, it was still a good thing.
His daughter was different from other girls of the same age. She could not be judged by the standards of other girls of the same age. it was a good thing that she could care so much about a person and was willing to get along with him and even consider him for a lifetime.
It was better than her indifferent attitude towards everything, as if there was nothing in this world worth her nostalgia.
“since you’ve taken a fancy to him first, i can’t say anything more. you know what you’re doing, just don’t let yourself suffer.”
“I won’t suffer a loss.” shi yan said with certainty.
shi lin looked at her and didn’t continue this topic.
Jiang che is also from the capital. Are you guys planning to return to the capital? ”
“Probably not for now. As for Yingluo, I’m not sure.”
she would go back if jiang che went back, but if she went back alone, yingying couldn’t tell if she didn’t want to go back. her feelings for the shi family were very complicated.
Don’t you want to go back?
it didn’t seem like it.
do you want to go back?
it didn’t seem like it.
Shi Lin didn’t dare to mention what had happened back then in front of her, so he didn’t dare to say too much about returning to the capital and the Shi family.
when he heard that she didn’t give a completely negative answer, he had mixed feelings, but at the same time, he was relieved.
“When you return to the capital, can you go back to the Shi family to take a look? All these years, your mother has been taking good care of your courtyard. She has also planted many flowers and plants in your courtyard. You should like them.”
Shi Yan didn’t answer immediately. She held the milk tea tightly.
After a while, he forced a smile and said, ” I probably won’t be back anytime soon. I’ll contact you and mom again when I return to the capital.
“yingluo, yes.”
shi lin lowered the gaze in his eyes.
He didn’t know if it was an illusion, but the milk tea he had just drunk made him feel a bitter taste in his mouth.
“i heard that you have a teacher?”
“Yes.”
” your mother and i want to pay a visit to your teacher. is it inconvenient? ”
“yingluo won’t. the teacher is very easy to talk to.”
“How about you come with us some other day?”
“Hello, Yingluo. Just tell me when you set the time.”
Although she hesitated, she still agreed. Shi Lin was still very happy.
“when will you be free? We’ll do it at your time.”
“I’m fine with anything.” The school no longer required her to go to class on time. If she didn’t go to class, she didn’t even need to ask for leave.
then … Then let’s go on a weekend or an afternoon when you don’t have many classes? ”
“sure.”
Seeing him again after nine years, the situation was much better than Shi Lin had imagined. He knew who had contributed to this, so he was even more aware of Jiang Che’s position in Shi Yan’s heart.
Jiang Che’s status in the Jiang family is remarkable. Many people respect him, and many people fear him. But in the Jiang family, not many people want to see him live well. If you’re with him, you’ll definitely have a lot of trouble in the future. the shi family doesn’t take the initiative to cause trouble, but they’re not afraid of trouble either. in the future, if you’re bullied or have something you can’t handle, just give me or the rest of the family a call.”
Shi Yan raised her head to look at him.
shi lin didn’t avoid her and just looked straight at her. ” yanyan, it’s our fault for letting you live alone for so many years, but you have to remember that no matter whether you’ve been living alone all these years or not, and whether we haven’t contacted each other for nine years, you have a family behind you. you’re not an orphan. ”
Shi Yan pursed her lips and remained silent.
Shi Lin didn’t say anything more. drink it quickly. It’s late. Go back and rest early after you’re done.
ten minutes later, they left the milk tea bar.
“student shi yan?” someone called out to her the moment she walked out.
