After such an incident, Yang Cheng did not plan to go back to work. Mother Wang went shopping and bought some stuff. The two of them stayed at home and watched TV with Guo Xuehua for the whole afternoon. They chatted about things that they didn't have time to talk about in the past and it was time for dinner.
When Mother Wang came back from grocery shopping, Zhenxiu had just returned home from school. Liu Minghao had been harassing this girl for the past few days and Zhenxiu had decisively given up on the idea of staying in school. Yang Cheng did not tease Zhenxiu about that incident. After all, if he really provoked this' bad girl ', Yang Cheng would not feel comfortable.
Naturally, Yang Cheng and Guo Xuehua did not mention about Yang Pojun's visit during the day. They did not need everyone to know about such a troublesome matter.
On the other hand, Lin Ruoxi came home earlier than usual. Even if she did not say it, Lin Ruoxi knew that there was definitely something going on at home. However, with her clear mind, she would not ask too much about it. She just wanted to make sure that there was nothing wrong and let it go.
On the dining table, the rich aroma of the sumptuous dishes wafted in the air. It was rare for the family to gather for dinner and it was a joyous occasion.
Halfway through her meal, Guo Xuehua suddenly thought of something. "Aiyo, I forgot about it. How was Hui Lin's competition today? With Hui Lin's voice, she must have made it to the finals, right?"
Lin Ruoxi smiled faintly and nodded. "Yeah, I watched it on TV. She made it to the finals and the top three will be announced in a few days."
"There's no need to do that. Sister Hui Lin will definitely be the first," Zhenxiu said with a smile.
"In my opinion, it doesn't matter which place she gets. It's just that Hui Lin has been busy outside all the time and hasn't been home for dinner for a long time," Mother Wang said pitifully.
At that moment, the other women showed similar expressions. Obviously, they were happy about Hui Lin's success, but at the same time, they did not feel good.
Yang Cheng was feeling emotional as he ate his rice. When he first came to this house, there was only Lin Ruoxi and Mother Wang. Now, with Zhenxiu, Hui Lin and Guo Xuehua, it had become a family of six. Sometimes, they were happy and sometimes, they were sad.
After dinner, Zhenxiu helped wash the dishes and went upstairs. After all, the college entrance examination was coming up, and she was the busiest person in the family. She had been living in this house for the past few days. Although the food and living conditions were better than before, she still lost a lot of weight.
Lin Ruoxi chatted with Guo Xuehua for a while and then went back to the study to work. If it wasn't for the "mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship", Lin Ruoxi would not want to spend so much time.
Yang Chen had always wondered why his wife never exercised. She always sat and worked, but she didn't get fat at all.
Late at night, Yang Cheng went back to his room and was about to take a shower when his phone vibrated.
Yang Cheng frowned when he saw the number. It was an overseas number. He picked it up and it was just as he had guessed …
"Yang Cheng, I'm in Japan. I'll be in Zhonghai tomorrow," Jane purposely spoke in Japanese on the phone and said with a sweet smile.
Yang Cheng raised his eyebrows. "I told you that you don't have to rush, but why are you still going to Japan to transfer flights? Do you need to accommodate the airline?"
"Of course not, I just happen to have something to do here. It will be helpful when I go to Zhonghai to see the patient you want to treat," Jane said proudly.
Yang Cheng didn't ask much. Although he wasn't stupid, he still couldn't read the mind of a female science geek like Jane. There were many things that she wouldn't say even if she thought of it. It was only when things happened that he realized her foresight.
"When will you arrive at the airport? I'll pick you up," Yang Cheng said.
"Really? I thought you would let me find someone to pick you up myself. 9 am tomorrow, Zhonghai International Airport. See you there, "Jane said happily.
Yang Cheng smiled bitterly. This woman would only reveal a youthful tone at times like this. He didn't know if it was his honor or his own fault.
After Jane's call, Yang Cheng wasn't in the mood to sleep right away. After hanging up, he walked out of the door and wanted to go downstairs for a walk in the yard.
Suddenly, Yang Cheng noticed that Zhenxiu's room was still emitting warm light. He sighed and thought that it wasn't easy being a student. She was still revising in the middle of the night.
After thinking about it, he was still her big brother. At least he should go over and cheer her up. As he thought about it, Yang Cheng walked to Zhenxiu's room and knocked on the door.
After a while, there was no response from the room.
Yang Chen hesitated for a while before opening the door and walking in.
Zhenxiu, who was wearing blue pajamas with cartoon patterns, was indeed in the room. She was sitting on the chair in front of the desk. There was only the light of the desk lamp in the room.
"What's wrong? You're studying so hard that you can't even hear me knocking on the door." Yang Cheng smiled and walked forward.
Zhenxiu seemed to be shocked. She turned around and stood up in a panic. On her delicate face, a pair of watery eyes were wide open. She looked at Yang Cheng timidly.
"Yang … Brother Yang … You … Why are you suddenly …"
"I knocked on the door. You didn't respond for a long time. I thought something happened to you." Yang Cheng looked at Zhenxiu's anxious face and wondered, "What's the matter? You don't look right."
Without waiting for Zhenxiu to answer, Yang Cheng looked at the desk from the corner of his eyes and suddenly laughed.
Zhenxiu knew that her little private matter was exposed by Yang Cheng. She blushed, pouted, and stomped her feet.
On Zhenxiu's desk, there was a pile of scattered papers. What was even more surprising was that there were seven or eight origami frogs on the desk. Obviously, Zhenxiu didn't hear Yang Cheng knocking on the door. She was actually concentrating on folding the frogs!
"I didn't expect my sister to have such a hobby. You're not studying at night. So you're folding frogs." Yang Cheng smiled and walked forward. He picked up a frog and pretended to praise, "En, it's not bad. This frog looks like you."
"It's more like you! Annoying! " Zhenxiu angrily snatched the folded frog and pouted, "Brother Yang, you're the worst. Who allowed you to enter a girl's room!?"
"Ah, don't be angry. Isn't it just folding frogs? I know you're under a lot of pressure from studying. It's good to relax. But why is your desk full of frogs? Can't you fold something else?" Yang Cheng laughed.
Zhenxiu shyly turned her head away and muttered, "I … I only know how to fold frogs …"
Hearing this, Yang Cheng was overjoyed. He always felt that this girl was very precocious. Now it seemed that she still had a childish side.
Zhenxiu was furious. She used all her strength to push Yang Cheng out of the door and slammed the door!
Yang Cheng was in a good mood. He wasn't angry at being kicked out. He was about to tease Zhenxiu again when he heard some noise in the yard outside the house.
"Another strange girl …"
Yang Cheng sighed. In a flash, he went to the door downstairs and opened it.
Just as Yang Cheng expected, Hui Lin flew into the yard with her Qinggong and was about to fly to the balcony on the second floor.
Hui Lin, who was wearing a black trench coat, looked like a female secret agent. When she saw Yang Cheng opening the door downstairs and looking at her with a weird gaze, she immediately acted like a child who had done something wrong. She twisted her hands and walked to Yang Cheng.
"Brother Yang, I … I just don't want to disturb you," Hui Lin said softly.
"How many times have I told you to go home through the door? You're going to be a celebrity, not a thief. Are your relatives the ones who are afraid of being disturbed?" Yang Cheng mumbled as he gestured for Hui Lin to enter the house.
Hui Lin stuck out her pink tongue. Knowing that Yang Cheng didn't really blame her, she heaved a sigh of relief. She entered the house and complained, "Actually, I didn't want to, but those paparazzi are so annoying. They follow me everywhere I do, so I couldn't help but use my Qinggong to hide. I don't want them to catch me."
"Why did you hide? You don't take bribes or break the law." Yang Cheng asked.
"But … but … but I feel that it's very stressful. After the competition today, I suddenly thought that if I listen to Grandma and go back to Beijing to help her take care of the Lin Family's affairs, it might be more suitable for me …" Hui Lin lowered her head and said softly.
Yang Cheng was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and said, "You're backing down?"
Hui Lin didn't dare to look at Yang Cheng. She bit her lips and said, "I … I know I'm useless. I didn't know that being famous would be like this … but I … I really feel tired and I'm not used to it … Brother Yang, am I weak? Useless? It's just the beginning and I'm already thinking of backing down … "
In the dimly lit hall, Hui Lin raised her head. Her beautiful facial features revealed a hint of helplessness and hesitation, making her look pitiful.
Yang Cheng stopped smiling and stretched out his right hand to gently stroke Hui Lin's forehead. He stroked her soft hair with his thumb and said, "Everyone will be weak. Everyone will have people and things that make them weak. As long as you dare to face it and admit your weakness, you will be strong and you won't fail. After all, only by facing weakness can you become stronger."
Hui Lin's watery eyes flickered. After a long time, she asked, "Everyone will be weak. What about Brother Yang? Shouldn't someone like Brother Yang be afraid of nothing?"
Yang Cheng pursed his lips and revealed a conflicted expression. He sighed and said, "Me? Haven't you noticed that I've always been afraid of your sister? I've been guarding my room alone until now … "
"Pfft …" Upon hearing this, Hui Lin couldn't help but burst into laughter. She laughed so hard that tears welled up at the corner of her eyes.
On the second floor, the door of Lin Ruoxi's study room was pushed open. Lin Ruoxi, who was wearing a silk nightgown, held onto the railing and looked down at the two people downstairs. Her hair was loose and her face was pale.
"It's already midnight. Why aren't you sleeping? Are you going to tell jokes?" Lin Ruoxi said with a clear voice and knitted her brows.
Yang Cheng and Hui Lin quivered and their smiles froze.
"Ahem, that … I'm just going to drink some water and go to sleep." Yang Cheng winked at Hui Lin and quickly ran upstairs.
Hui Lin was also a little embarrassed. Her face was flushed, and she lowered her head as she followed closely behind them.
After the two of them closed the door, the frost on Lin Ruoxi's face gradually dissipated. In the darkness, Lin Ruoxi sighed to herself, and a gentle smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
