The only thing that made her feel better was that Wei Zilin didn't seem to care much about Liang Wenyin.
Lin Chu sat in the front and secretly looked back at Yan Zhiqing. He realized that she was looking out the window and didn't notice her peeping.
Yan Zhiqing pouted her lips very high, looking very unhappy. She seemed to have thought of something and her expression turned gloomy. A rare expression of lack of confidence appeared on her face.
Lin Chu was shocked and didn't feel too good. Because of the incident with the Lu family, her impression of Yan Zhiqing was much better. Although Yan Zhiqing's personality was sometimes a little hard to deal with, she was undoubtedly a good girl.
So Lin Chu saw her as an occasional willful little sister. After all, she wasn't 19 yet and was a child to begin with.
In Lin Chu's memory, Yan Zhiqing had always been a confident, bright, and occasionally flamboyant girl. In fact, she was a very shy person and wasn't used to people praising her. When he was praised or approached by someone with good intentions, he would stand up with thorns all over his body and speak insincerely. But her blushing face exposed her true thoughts.
Every time she saw her reaction like this, she felt that she was especially cute.
But no matter what, the impression that Yan Zhiqing gave her had always been one of confidence. She was always confident. Actually, she was the only granddaughter of the Yan family. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she was the pride of the heavens. The people of the Yan family should have this kind of confidence.
But now, the confidence on Yan Zhiqing's face had disappeared and she even had doubts about herself.
Seeing her like this, Lin Chu felt bad. He opened his mouth but thought that Yan Zhiqing cared about her face and probably didn't want others to see it at this time, so he resisted the urge to comfort her and turned his head.
Yan Beicheng quickly turned his head to look at Lin Chu. Seeing her sullen expression, he knew that she turned back to check on Yan Zhiqing's situation. He glanced at the rearview mirror.
Because he was driving, he only took a quick glance. He didn't look as carefully as Lin Chu, but he could also see that Yan Zhiqing was in a bad mood, so he didn't say anything.
But even if Lin Chu was in a bad mood, it wasn't good. He wanted to reach out and hold Lin Chu's hand. Halfway through, he thought that Yan Zhiqing's situation didn't look like she could be provoked, so he stopped.
Lin Chu saw this and directly pushed his hand back to the steering wheel.
Yan Beicheng was stunned. He just drove and didn't do anything else.
The car stopped in front of the old mansion. Yan Beicheng carried Yan Zhiqing to the wheelchair. Yan Zhiqing's complexion had returned to normal. She still looked a little pale, but she looked much better than when she was in the car. But when Lin Chu saw this, he felt even more depressed. Seeing how Yan Zhiqing kept all her sadness in her heart, she was so stubborn that she didn't want anyone to know about it.
She couldn't help but recall that Yan Zhiqing was also like this when she was betrayed by Jiang Changdai.
At that time, Yan Zhiqing did cry, but it was only for a short while. After that, she brushed it aside and never mentioned it again. After that, he chatted awkwardly with his family, and nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
But to her, this was a big deal. Anyone who encountered such a thing would not be able to recover from it with just a few words. Back then, Yan Zhiqing might have been like this as well. She acted as if nothing had happened in front of others. Only when she was in private would she reveal her weakness and slowly digest it.
Since he had come to the old house, there was no reason not to enter. So Yan Beicheng and Lin Chu pushed Yan Zhiqing in and decided to stay for dinner.
When they returned, it was 2: 30 pm. Yan Zhiqing looked tired and said, "Grandpa, Grandma, I'll go back to the room to sleep first."
Now, the two elders were especially patient with Yan Zhiqing. Even if Yan Zhiqing's temper was sometimes twisted, Old Master Yan would not be as harsh and merciless as he used to be. Instead, he would patiently reason with her carefully.
This was really not easy for the short-tempered Old Master Yan. Even when Old Madam Yan saw it for the first time, she ran out of the door and looked at the sky in an exaggerated manner.
When she came in, Old Master Yan asked her what was wrong with her.
Old Madam Yan said, "The sun is still hanging in the east. It's sunny, but it's not raining, much less red rain. It's strange that you suddenly became so good-tempered. "
Old Master Yan snorted and ignored Old Madam Yan. But since then, his temper toward Yan Zhiqing had been so good until Old Madam Yan was used to it.
So at this moment, Old Master Yan wasn't unhappy. Old Madam Yan quickly let Yan Zhiqing rest.
In order to make it easier for Yan Zhiqing to move around, she specially vacated the room downstairs for her so that she wouldn't have to go up the stairs.
Yan Zhiqing smiled listlessly and maneuvered the wheelchair back to the bedroom.
Lin Chu sat for a while. He still felt uneasy. He couldn't let Yan Zhiqing let her imagination run wild. This child was especially prone to getting into a dead end. What if she couldn't think it through and couldn't get over it?
He whispered to Yan Beicheng, "I'll go see Zhiqing. I think she's not in the right mood."
"Okay." Yan Beicheng nodded and let Lin Chu go.
Deep down, Yan Zhiqing was a little independent. She cared a lot about her little world. No matter what it was, it had to be complete.
No matter what it was, even if it was only used once and she could borrow it from a friend, she would buy it. She would rather use it once and throw it away because it belonged completely to her.
Another example was the bedroom. Yan Zhiqing didn't like people coming and going at the door. They always passed by her door, so she chose the guest room at the end of the corridor and asked Auntie Chen to clean it up and make it her bedroom.
As long as she was in the room, she would definitely close the door tightly so that no one outside could see anything. But at the same time, she didn't like to draw the curtains and let the sun shine in through the window. The room was bright and she could see the garden outside when she turned her head. Even at night, she didn't like to draw the curtains. That way, when she lay on the bed, she could see the dark blue sky outside and the lights of the planes slowly flying across the sky. If she was lucky, she could even see a few stars.
Lin Chu knocked on the door twice and said, "Zhiqing, it's me. Lin Chu, are you asleep?"
"I'm asleep." Yan Zhiqing's muffled voice came. It sounded abnormal.
Lin Chu found it funny and helpless. He turned the doorknob. Yan Zhiqing didn't lock the door, so he said, "Okay, I'll go in and help you adjust the corners of the blanket."
Yan Zhiqing: "…"
Why did this reason sound so shameless?
Indeed, after living with Yan Beicheng for a long time, she was thoroughly influenced by him.
Lin Chu didn't wait for Yan Zhiqing's reply and pushed the door open.
He saw Yan Zhiqing sitting on the bed with a wheelchair beside the bed. Her back was cushioned by a pillow, so it was quite comfortable to sit on.
There was a box of tissues on her lap and a half-dried tissue in her hand. Her eyes were bright red with tears that she couldn't hide in time.
Lin Chu closed the door behind him. Yan Zhiqing sniffed and pursed her lips a little tightly. She had the energy of a broken jar and said gruffly, "Why? Did you come in specially to see me make a fool of myself? I know I'm in a sorry state now, but you don't have to look at me like that. "
Lin Chu wasn't angry at all. He just walked to the side of the bed and sat down. "How can I see you make a fool of yourself? Have you ever heard of a family member making a fool of themselves? Earlier on in the car, I saw that you weren't in a good mood. I was worried, so I came in to see you. "
"I'm an adult, what's there to be worried about? You just came in to see me make a fool of myself. Just say it, "Yan Zhiqing said stubbornly with a stiff neck.
"You might not like it if I say that I understand your character. But I'm older than you by a little more than six years. You're an innocent girl, so it's not strange that I can see through your character. I know that you're a stubborn person. When you feel bad, you swallow it down and don't want others to see it. You're afraid that people will laugh at you, and you can't get over your pride. " Lin Chu said lightly. His voice was neither fast nor slow, neither high nor low, and it made people unconsciously feel comfortable.
Yan Zhiqing blinked and sniffed. She lowered her head and couldn't tell what it felt like to appear here.
She rubbed her chest and felt that her heart was a little strange at that moment.
Actually, no one had ever tried to understand her like this and see through her heart. The two elders were old now, so it wasn't good to ask them to do so much. The two of them wanted to, but they couldn't, so they just treated her well. There wasn't a manager who tried hard to see through a person.
As for Yan Beicheng, his heart was completely on Lin Chu. He didn't look at anyone else, so how would he have the time to understand anyone?
In his opinion, it was probably enough to just understand Lin Chu.
So at that moment, Yan Zhiqing felt as if there was a warm, thin stream of water slowly flowing from her heart.
She had always felt that she was pretty good. She also knew that she had many flaws and that her personality wasn't likable. Otherwise, even her grandparents and brother wouldn't have disliked her previously. But she also knew that she was definitely not a bad person. She was embarrassed to say that she was very kind, but she really didn't think that she was bad. But no one had really told her this so directly. No one had directly pointed out her weakness.
Yan Zhiqing glanced at Lin Chu with a complicated gaze.
She opened her mouth, but in the end, she didn't say anything. But the expression on her face was no longer as thorny as before. She didn't want Lin Chu to get close to her.
In Lin Chu's opinion, Yan Zhiqing seemed to have erected a tall fence around her, trapping herself in the middle. The more fragile she was, the higher the fence would be. It let people see her fragile look and want to comfort her, but they were blocked by the fence.
And Yan Zhiqing clearly also wanted to be comforted, but she looked at the fence and didn't dare to walk out.
Lin Chu lightly poked Yan Zhiqing's shoulder. Yan Zhiqing was stunned for a moment, and then she heard Lin Chu say, "Sit further in."
Before Yan Zhiqing could react, she saw Lin Chu rubbing his back. Because of his big belly, his upper body leaned back. Sitting on the edge of the bed, there was nothing behind him to lean on, so he could only support himself with one hand on the bed. He looked very uncomfortable sitting.
Then she heard Lin Chu say, "There's nothing behind me to lean on. After a long time, my back and waist will ache. It's very uncomfortable. Sit further in and let me lean against the headboard."
Before Yan Zhiqing could react, she had already moved further in in a daze. There was more space than one person. Lin Chu hurriedly leaned over and sat together with Yan Zhiqing on the headboard of the bed. Only then did he let out a comfortable breath.
