CH 49

Li Xin had invited me, although it wasn’t just the two of us, I still felt satisfied, it feels like we have a normal relationship now, which I had not thought could happen again.

I ended up just following the girls around, and didn’t really say much, there’s no way I could, I only knew Xia and Li Xin and the two of them were talking with the girls, so I couldn’t interrupt them and could only bitterly watch.

This meal ended with the babbling of the girls. I was so miserable that I felt uncomfortable all over.

The good thing is that it had finally ended and calmed down. A large number of the girls ate and drank a lot, Sister Xia asked someone to clean up, and Li Xin went to pay.

I looked at Li Xin, she looked very nervous, as if she was very embarrassed to pay, she looked amusing.

After everyone left, Li Xin rold those students to go first, and she had to work for Sister Xia. I was dumbfounded and didn't know what to do, glancing around, neither going nor staying, and as a result, Sister Xia smiled at me mischievously.

My heart jumped, what does she want?

"Hey handsome, you have the month off, huh? Go to help me with work, we are friends, right?"

She wants me to do hard work for her for free, which is fine, but she has bad intentions, Li Xin is also working part-time, and if I go, won't the two of us have "intimate contact"?

I saw Li Xin immediately squirm, she is not ready to have such contact with me yet, in fact, I am not ready for this either, my heart is in a state of turmoil.

I can't figure out what kind of relationship we have now, and reasonably speaking we have a good relationship as the two siblings, but every time we meet both of us are awkward as hell, feeling that there is still a border between us, there is no way to break through.

I think working would be a good idea to help break the ice between us, it might fix the three years of estrangement.

I promised Sister Xia, she giggled again, and she took us both to the milk tea store to start working.

As a result, Li Xin was so focused that she completely ignored the outsiders as soon as she worked, I guess she did it on purpose, pretending I was not there.

At night more guests arrive, and so I am also quite busy, my craft is a bit rusty, so I’m also a bit slow.

Therefore, our intimate contact did not happen, looking at Sister Xia shaking her head, and later she dragged me out to take out the garbage, and sternly criticized me: "What's wrong with you? Such a good opportunity for you and you're stiff like wood? Why? Go talk to her."

I wanted to, but Li Xin was so focused on her work, she probably didn't want me to disturb her. I said I'd try, but Xia rolled her eyes and poked me fiercely before going back.

I also went back, and when I went back, I found that Li Xin peeked at me, and then focused on work again. I pondered to myself, this is not good, at least say something, otherwise the opportunity will be wasted in vain.

I came a little closer to her, and when I saw that there were no more customers for the time being, I gave a dry laugh: "Haha, you look so beautiful today." (TN: oh my god im dying of secondhand embarrassment right now, someone help this child)

What the hell did I just say? It's like a pervert picking up a girl. I cursed my own brain dysfunction, Li Xin's face went red, and she lowered her head very uncomfortably: "Ha ha, you are also… so handsome today ......" (TN: someone help these children)

Next to us Sister Xia spat out her tea. The corners of my mouth twitched. Li Xin was at a loss. Fortunately, a guest came. She hurried to try and brighten the mood.

I dare not talk to her again, it is also a torture for her. Our relationship cannot be forced, it seems we can only rely on letters.

I didn't say anything after that, no matter how many times Xia scolded me. Around ten o'clock Li Xin got off work, and I was going to go back to school to sleep.

But I saw that Li Xin did not leave immediately, she also peeked at me. I was a little confused, Sister Xia coughed: "You go ahead, don't go too far."

What are they doing? I can't figure them out, but I obediently walked away and didn't go far, and my eyes were still fixed on the milk tea store.

Not long after I saw Li Xin come out, she quickly left to go back to school. I blinked, then I saw Sister Xia holding a letter looking around.

I was so happy that Li Xin wrote to me. I hurried to take the letter but she held it up high: "I'm really confounded, what's the matter with you guys? No guts to talk?"

I raised my hand and snatched it away, saying that this is romance, you do not understand. She yelled at me, but I didn't care, I took the letter and ran.

I ran far away to open and read the letter, and the familiar handwriting greeted me: Today made me very happy, thank you brother.

She called me brother again, albeit in a letter. My heart burst into laughter, and then was distressed, why is this happening? Obviously we have reconciled, but we can't relax face-to-face. It's really hard to imagine this.

I scratched my head for a long time, and it seemed that the three-year barrier was not so easy to break down.

But now things have gotten better, at least my sister doesn't reject me anymore. I smiled again, it's okay, I can take care of her, we can deal with the barrier later.

I went back to school full of joy, during the day I was beaten by the gangsters, so when I came back to the shower it was quite painful, but not a problem.

I came back and started to think about Yang Han Lu, the ladies said she was my friend, but I was sure I had no such friend.

I pondered half a dozen times before going to sleep, and the next morning I went back to class. Now I still have to make money, so the manuscript will take more time to write.

I went back to the classroom to write the article, and not much later Lin Yin Yin came to study. There were hardly any people in the classroom on a big weekend, but she was there rain or shine.

When I thought about sitting next to her, she looked at me with a raised eyebrow, a bit like an adult: "What? Is the manuscript ready?"

This little loli pretended to be an adult with tiger teeth. I looked amused, but I didn't dare to laugh. I shook my head and said that I didn't write it well.

She then asked me why. I spoke: "Yesterday I was beaten up, a girl named Yang Han Lu saved me, do you know her?"

I can only ask Lin Yinyin for things like this. She was startled, then frowned: "You were beaten again? What happened?"

She had grasped the wrong topic, I smiled bitterly: "Nothing, nothing, just a little scuffle, do you know Yang Han Lu?"

She put her mind at ease and said, "No, I don't know Yang Hanlu.”

I figured she didn't know her either, so it didn't work, so I added: "There were ladies who were a part of the square dancing, and were very familiar with her mother, and they often played mahjong together."

Lin Yin Yin still shakes her head: "I do not know any big woman, playing mahjong also ...... eh? Mahjong… Qin Lan's mother is a gambler, all day and night she'd gamble her money away playing mahjong, was it not Qin Lan who saved you ah?"

I was stunned for a moment, I thought it was Qin Lan, but she's gone, it can't be her. Her mother also played mahjong? I furrowed my eyebrows, but I still couldn't figure it out. In the end, I just didn't think about it. I would like to thank her when I meet Yang Han Lu in the future.

I'll do the right thing and go back to writing articles. Zhang Xiong, that boy has not come, probably to play games before coming to pick up Lin Yin Yin.

I am also happy to do that, the entire morning I was writing the manuscript. Not to mention, once I was immersed, it felt like everything in the outside world was gone, and for the first time I wrote so intensely that it was noon when I came back to my senses.

I was surprised that Lin Yin Yin was watching me, I was shocked, she told me to continue writing, and not to lose focus.

I said, you've scared me and I can't focus anymore, so why should I write? She rolled her eyes and said I was really timid. My stomach hurt and I was hungry, so I said let's go eat together.

She blinked and grinned: " Your treat ah?" I said yes, let's go.

We went out of school to get something to eat, and ended up meeting Zhang Xiong's group of people at the store. They are full of grease, seeming to have spent a lot of time in an Internet cafe.

When Lin Yin Yin and I suddenly appeared, Zhang Xiong was taken aback, and he hurriedly wiped his face, and then stared at me grimly.

I frowned, I really didn't want to see this guy, too vengeful.

I took Lin Yin Yin away. Lin Yinyin is a very smart girl. Seeing this situation, she was a little worried: "You have a very bad relationship with them."

I said it's okay, it's my fault. Lin Yin Yin sighed: "I really don't like Zhang Xiong, he's a self-righteous guy."

I said you were fine with him before, and she paused, then got angry: "What could I have done? You did not want to interact with me, and he always wanted to talk, I can’t always give him a bad face."

I was sullen, we were distant from each other before that time, I really did not have the time back then ah.

I said I'll always talk with you in the future, I'll need you to help me with my draft.

She kicked me and said I only looked for her when I used her. What is this nonsense? I didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but I fought with her all the way, and kept making a fuss after eating.

We went straight back to class at noon, and I was still immersed while writing my article, and my fingers had become sore. I finished my manuscript, a full six pages, written in a compact manner.

Luckily, my words are not ugly, otherwise it would be torture, I revised it a few times and took it to Lin Yin Yin, she looked at it seriously for a long time, then hesitated and said, "It should be okay, but the writing is too childish, too much like an essay."

I was in distress and said what should I do? She pretended to be an adult again: "I'll take it back to the editor first, see what she has to say, you just wait for my message."

I said the editor is at your house? She rolled her eyes: "I'll just send her an email, online."

I was surprised again: "I wrote it on paper, how are you going to send an email? Is technology this advanced now?"

She looked at me with slanted eyes, like she's looking at a comedian: "I'll just type the words into the computer? Why are you so dumb?"

I was a little surprised and then moved: "Aren't you tired?" She gave a short snort, unimpressed.

I just said thank you, I can't thank you enough. She's actually uncomfortable, so let me stop this.

I stopped fussing, she packed her books and went home, I said why don't I take you home? She turned her head and pouted: "You're so annoying."

Then she walked away, her steps are quite cheerful ah.

I am really grateful that I met Qin Lan and Lin Yin Yin, I'm a very lucky man, otherwise I certainly do not know how I would have lived at this point.

I should stop thinking about it, and just wait for her news. It's evening now, and I have nothing to do, so I thought about going to the square to see the ladies, and Yang Han Lu still made me quite concerned.

Translator Notes: Phew, quite the calm chapter for today, and sorry for the slow updates, anyways maybe next chapter we’ll get to meet the missus mysterious Yang Han Lu, see you all thennnn byebye!!
