Lin Chu shook his head. "Even if I don't ask now, it's still a knot in my heart. I'll always wonder why he didn't tell me. Maybe you men think differently from women. You think it doesn't matter if we don't know something. You guys will still treat us well. But I don't think so. I love him, so I want to know everything about him. Not to mention that others know, but I, as someone so close to him, don't know. "
"I woke up this morning and realized he wasn't there. He left without saying goodbye. I don't know where he went." Lin Chu smiled awkwardly and self-deprecatingly. "After I found out, I started to regret not asking him."
"About this —" Yan Huaian exhaled heavily. "Not only Beicheng doesn't want to talk about it, but in fact, our entire family doesn't want to talk about her. My brother and sister-in-law don't like to talk about her either. I think Beicheng seems to be fine after all these years, but in fact, he's always been very bothered about it. He doesn't want to easily expose his scars. The deeper he hides it, the more it hurts. "
"Although I know about this, it's not appropriate for me to talk about it." Yan Huaian rubbed the corner of his eyes. "I think this is Beicheng's own business. It's better for him to talk to you. If he finds out, he'll probably blame me. But I want you to know that Beicheng definitely doesn't want Lu Weining to know about this. To Beicheng, Madam Jiang is really hard to talk about. It's really hard for him to take the initiative to talk about this. If it's possible, our family would rather not talk about her for the rest of our lives. He doesn't tell you not because he doesn't care about you and doesn't want you to share his past with him. It's just that it's too hard for him to talk about it. If it were me, I wouldn't know how to tell Yu Zi either. So, don't blame him for this and create a barrier between you two. "
Lin Chu nodded, a little absent-minded. "I don't know … I'm forcing him."
Yan Huaian shook his head. "He's very serious about you. It's not that he doesn't care about you. On the contrary, he puts you in his heart. I'm afraid he doesn't even want to face his mother, let alone tell you."
Yan Huaian chuckled. "Men care a lot about their pride. Maybe he felt embarrassed and was afraid that you would look down on him, so he didn't want to tell you."
Lin Chu didn't know if Yan Beicheng was thinking this way, but if he was, then she had to say that he was really stupid.
But after listening to Yan Huaian's words, Lin Chu was no longer as hesitant as before. She now felt that she had been a little too stubborn before.
Seeing that she had thought it through, Yan Huaian left.
After lunch at the old house, Lin Chu was worried about Yan Beicheng. He wanted to go back to apologize to him and tell him not to overthink it. He hadn't called since he left in the morning. She didn't know what he was feeling right now.
Old Madam Yan asked Xiao Deng to send her off. In the car, Lin Chu wanted to call Yan Beicheng, but when he took out his phone, he realized that his phone had run out of battery.
When he returned to Tripod City and entered the house, he saw Aunt Zhuang wiping the table. There was no other sound in the house. "Beicheng hasn't returned yet?"
"No," Aunt Zhuang said. Wasn't the two of them together?
But seeing Lin Chu's reaction, she didn't ask.
Lin Chu was a little disappointed. She thought that he would be back, but he hadn't. She didn't know if he was still angry.
She lowered her head and went back to the bedroom. She planned to change her clothes, charge her phone, and call Yan Beicheng.
When she went downstairs after changing her clothes, she saw Aunt Zhuang hang up the phone. She turned around and saw Lin Chu coming down. She said, "Sir called just now. He asked if you were back. I said you were back, but before I could say anything else, he hung up. "
As long as he was still calling home, Lin Chu was relieved. Because of Yan Huaian's words, she didn't dare to let her imagination run wild. But for a moment, she wasn't sure if she should call him.
She frowned and went back to her room. Just as she was holding her phone, she was conflicted. After struggling for half an hour, the door suddenly opened with great force.
Lin Chu looked over in surprise and saw Yan Beicheng standing at the door. He was still wearing the same clothes he wore last night, and they were a little wrinkled. His face, which had always been clean and elegant, now had stubble growing on it. It was probably because he left early in the morning and didn't bring anything with him last night. He also didn't shave, so he looked a little dispirited.
Lin Chu didn't know if it was because of the stubble that made him look dispirited, but she felt that his eyes seemed to be a little bloodshot. From the moment he appeared at the door, she could smell the strong smell of cigarettes on his body. It was very strong, and she could smell it clearly from a few steps away. She didn't know where he went since he left in the morning and how many cigarettes he smoked.
He recalled what Yan Beicheng had said before. Unless he was extremely annoyed, he would whip fiercely. Otherwise, he wouldn't whip at all. Especially after he got together with her, she really didn't see him smoke again.
Even when he came to pick her up after work, she couldn't even smell the faint smell of cigarettes. It could be seen that even if she wasn't with him during the day, he didn't smoke.
Yan Beicheng strode over with his long legs and directly picked up Lin Chu, who was sitting on the bed and staring at him in a daze, and hugged her tightly in his arms.
Suddenly, a big palm slapped her butt without warning, causing Lin Chu to be stunned.
But the back of her head was held by his strong palm, and she was buried tightly in his chest. She couldn't even look up at him. She could only smell the smell of tobacco on his clothes, and it was also cold.
"Where did you go? I couldn't get through to you! " Yan Beicheng said angrily, and he suddenly relaxed when he realized that she was still there. "I returned to the orphanage, and the old director said that you were called to the old house and was worried that we had a fight. I went to the old house again, but they said that you had already left. I couldn't get through to you, so I went to Xu Moyan's place, but there was no one at home. I just called home, and Auntie Zhuang said that you were back, so I heaved a sigh of relief. I thought that you were angry with me, so I don't know where you went! "
He really panicked. Actually, he just wanted to go out and calm down, thinking about how to tell Lin Chu. Those things were really hard to talk about.
But who knew that when he returned, Lin Chu would disappear.
Thinking about what she said last night, and thinking about his attitude before, he felt that she might have misunderstood his meaning. He was afraid that she would be sad and not return to Tripod City at all. He was so scared that he kept running back and forth, looking for her like a headless fly.
It wasn't until he heard Auntie Zhuang say that she was at home and had already returned that he heaved a sigh of relief. He didn't even have time to say anything else. He hung up the phone, turned the car around, and rushed back. He told himself that no matter what happened in the future, he couldn't let her misunderstand, and he couldn't leave without a word.
"You scared me to death!" Yan Beicheng was a little angry, and he slapped her butt hard again. "Didn't I tell you last time not to scare me like this in the future?"
Lin Chu's muscles instantly contracted. After being said that, he actually felt a little wronged. "You left without a word in the morning, and I didn't see you when I woke up. I thought you were chatting with the old director in the living room downstairs. But after I went down, I was told that you had already left. You didn't even wait for me, and you didn't tell me the reason. Last night was so unpleasant, and I didn't dare to call you. I was afraid that you wouldn't answer, and I was afraid that you wouldn't want to talk to me. I thought that the two of us were close enough to share what happened between you and me, but your reaction told me that it wasn't. "
"After receiving Grandma's call, I went to the old house. On the way back, I wanted to call you, but I realized that my phone was out of battery. I wanted to call you just now, but you called home. When you heard that I was back, you hung up without a word. I was afraid that you wouldn't want to talk to me, I — "
Lin Chu wrapped her arms around his waist and punched his back in exasperation. "You still say that you were scared to death? I was scared to death too! Just because of what happened last night, you left without a word. I kept thinking that I shouldn't have asked so much. If only I didn't ask you about those things. Can't I pretend to be stupid? That way, the two of us wouldn't have quarreled. Yan Beicheng, you were the one who said that you would never make me afraid or sad, but this time, I was scared to death. I was scared and regretful. I even wished that time could go back. I — "
