Chapter 126 looks familiar
There was still a distance between the gate and the dormitory. Cheng Zheng led Lin Shuyao a few steps and then offered, "Are you tired? Do you want me to carry you?"
Lin Shuyao glanced back and saw Su Wan still standing there, staring in her direction with frighteningly red eyes. "Never mind," she thought, "I shouldn't provoke her too much."
"No need, I can walk."
Lin Shuyao linked arms with Cheng Zheng and walked inside for a while. Once Su Wan was out of sight, she stopped and shook his arm, exclaiming admiringly, "You were so cool when you were roasting Su Wan!"
"hate?"
"It means she was being confrontational. Her aura was so strong that Su Wan almost tore the hem of her clothes apart!"
"As long as you're not angry."
"I'm not angry, it's just that the dorms are about to close, so we can't go to the woods tonight."
After being bothered by Su Wan for a while, it was already past eleven o'clock.
Cheng Zheng said, "I'll go tomorrow, and I'll bring you breakfast tomorrow morning. What do you want to eat?"
Lin Shuyao thought for a moment. Last week she had eaten steamed buns, sesame balls, and tofu pudding, so this week... "Hmm, soy milk and fried dough sticks, I haven't had them in a long time."
Cheng Zheng nodded: "Okay. Same time, same place."
"Um!"
Lin Shuyao touched her stomach; she was already hungry at the mention of breakfast.
Cheng Zheng noticed this and smiled, "There are sliced peaches in the lunchbox. Go back to your dorm and have some to tide you over."
Lin Shuyao's eyes lit up. "Thank you, Comrade Cheng Zheng!"
"What did you call me?" Cheng Zheng was clearly unhappy with the way he addressed her, so Lin Shuyao changed her address, "Thank you, baby!"
Cheng Zheng finally felt relieved and tightened his grip on her hand.
The road has come to an end.
Looking at the dormitory gate ahead, the two of them were like two Velcro straps stuck together, and it took a lot of effort to separate them.
"I'm leaving now, bye-bye!" Lin Shuyao slung her bag over her shoulder, held the fruit Cheng Zheng had given her in her hand, waved to him, and then reluctantly walked into the dormitory building.
He took one step and looked back three times.
His eyes were glazed over, and he looked very reluctant to part with him.
Cheng Zheng felt a pang of sadness watching it.
For a moment, I impulsively wanted to rush forward and stop her from going back to her dorm.
Lin Shuyao waved to him one last time.
Cheng Zheng waved his hand and stood there watching her back until she was out of sight before turning and leaving.
When Lin Shuyao passed by the dormitory manager's office, she saw an older woman lying on a bench in the corridor to rest. The way upstairs had to pass the bench. As she walked over, the older woman suddenly sat up straight and stared at her face, her forehead wrinkles furrowed together as if she was thinking about something. Lin Shuyao didn't think much of it and continued upstairs.
As I went upstairs, I heard the dormitory manager open the door and try to persuade the older woman, "Auntie, it's not that I'm being unreasonable, but that's the factory's rule. When your daughter comes back, you should go somewhere else quickly. Don't linger here, or I'll get scolded if the factory leaders find out..."
Lin Shuyao understood immediately; it turned out to be Su Wan's mother.
She returned to her dormitory room, opened her lunchbox, and immediately a smile appeared on her lips.
What to do when your partner is too considerate?
The lunchbox contained slices of peach and a fork.
Before dating Cheng Zheng, I never imagined he was such a thoughtful and caring person.
Prepare everything for her.
Lin Shuyao picked up a fork, forked a piece of peach, and put it in her mouth. It tasted sweet, and her heart felt sweet too.
She ate many pieces in a row, and when she looked down, there was still more than half left in the lunchbox. She wondered how many pieces Cheng Zheng had peeled for her. The thought of him, a grown man, peeling fruit with a small knife and cutting it into small pieces made her feel quite warm.
She didn't even want to run away anymore; she just hoped the female lead wouldn't come back.
When this thought crossed her mind, Lin Shuyao suddenly paused for a moment. She seemed to understand the vicious female supporting character's thought process a little better.
There's a saying that goes something like this: question the female supporting character, understand the female supporting character, and become the female supporting character.
While Lin Shuyao was comfortably eating peaches, Su Wan, who had just returned to her dormitory, was not so comfortable. Since outsiders were not allowed to stay overnight in the dormitory, she had to take her mother to stay at a guesthouse.
The capital city is not like other small cities. A guesthouse costs 1.2 yuan a night, and a month's stay would cost at least 30 yuan. When paying, Su Wan felt a pang of heartache. She took out the money wrapped in her handkerchief and pulled it out one bill at a time with great difficulty. In the end, she was so distressed that she only paid for 7 days and thought she could see if she could rent a cheaper temporary place outside for the rest of the time.
Her mother, Huang Cuifen, was puzzled by her stingy manner: "Are you stupid? Didn't you say your husband's comrade-in-arms is a high-ranking leader in the factory and takes good care of you? Why don't you ask him to pay for the guesthouse? Talk to him, and you won't have to pay for it yourself."
Speaking of this, Su Wan got angry. "He's not my man, why should he pay for me? Do you think he's stupid?"
"What's wrong with you? You're in such a bad mood after just one trip. Didn't you always say you never had to spend money on important things because someone would pay for it for you?" Huang Cuifen muttered, her brows furrowed in dissatisfaction.
Su Wan: "From now on, no one will help me pay for it, I'll have to pay for it myself, so I can't send living expenses back to my hometown every month anymore."
Huang Cuifen frowned even more: "How can that be? If you don't send living expenses, how will your brother's family survive? You know your sister-in-law is pregnant again, and the family of five is now living off your brother's meager salary. You only have one child, Hu Zi, how can he possibly spend all that money each month..."
Su Wan, who was already seething with anger, completely exploded upon hearing this: "Big brother, big brother, big brother! All you ever think about is your brother! Do you even care about me, your daughter?! A married daughter is like water spilled from a bowl; why should I be expected to take care of your family's livelihood?"
Seeing that her daughter was getting angry, Huang Cuifen immediately changed her tone: "Oh, my good daughter, when have I ever not cared about you? I've always been on your side. Look, as soon as you sent me the telegram, I rushed over to help you!"
"Alright, alright, let's stop arguing and make a fool of ourselves in front of outsiders," Huang Cuifen said, glancing at the receptionist who had been watching the two of them, before half-pulling, half-dragging her daughter back to their room.
Su Wan vented her anger on her mother and felt much better afterward.
After calming down and thinking about it, the root cause of Cheng Zheng's change in attitude towards her was still Shen Qing. The two were still in the dating stage, and whether they could get married in the end was another matter. Cheng Zheng's mother was not someone to be trifled with, and she did not believe that Shen Qing, an outsider, could really marry into the Cheng family!
Speaking of Shen Qing, Su Wan suddenly looked at Huang Cuifen: "Mom, I have a question for you. Are there any families with the surname Shen on that street near our house? My daughter's name is Shen Qing; she's not biologically related, she's adopted."
"Shen Qing? Never heard of her." Huang Cuifen shook her head, but then remembered something else. "I think I saw Lin's daughter in your dormitory building tonight. Oh, you might not have met her before. She's your aunt's goddaughter's daughter. She lives very close to our house. I saw her once at your aunt's house. Her name is Lin something... Anyway, that girl is really beautiful. I was even planning to offer her to your brother, but he wasn't interested. He didn't think much of our family's conditions."
Huang Cuifen pursed her lips, trying hard to recall the other person's name, but she couldn't remember it at all, so she gave up in frustration. "Never mind, I'll ask your aunt when I get back. I haven't heard that she also works in Beijing before."
Su Wan was in a bad mood and didn't care about relatives like her cousins or godmothers who were so distant. After making sure her mother was settled, she went back to the hospital to see her son.
