CH 57

It was already 10 o'clock after the evening classes, and it was dark, and many students had already left the campus, after all, it was tempting to have a late night snack like BBQ fried noodles.

I also ran out, because I was in a hurry, and found a motorcycle driver to send me to Lin Yin Yin's house.

After a while, we arrived in the neighborhood. The houses inside were brightly lit, and the housing area was relatively large, and the roads were inevitably dark.

I've been here twice before, and the roads weren't complicated, so it was easy to find Lin Yin Yin's house.

I was surprised to see that her house wasn't lit, I was surprised, was she not at home? I frowned and went around to the back and finally saw the lights, which seemed to be coming from Lin Yin Yin's room.

It seems that Lin Yin Yin is the only one at home, but I can't rule out the possibility that her father is asleep, so I have to be careful.

I went to the window of her room and tried to figure out what to do. The window was two stories above the ground, I could not climb up, I found a few small stones on the ground, and threw them at the window.

The glass window made a noise, I waited a moment to throw something again, but then the window opened, Lin Yin Yin's little head stuck out to look.

I said hello, she immediately saw me, and was stunned for half a second, then asked: "What are you doing? It's the middle of the night."

Her tone was calm, but her voice was a bit hoarse, had she been crying?

I explained: "Why didn't you come to the evening classes?" She didn't say anything, and looked at me and then told me to go to the front door.

I breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed her father was not at home. I ran to the main entrance, and she also came downstairs to open the door, her little face wrinkled: "You... what do you need?"

I said I thought something happened to you and I was worried, you usually come to school. She gave me a blank look, the corners of her mouth smiled a little: "You didn't ask the teacher ah, I asked for a leave of absence."

I thought something had happened to her, like she had been kidnapped or something, so it seems my brain was a little out of order.

I stopped dwelling on this issue and asked directly, "Why didn't you go to school?"

Lin Yin Yin's smile was gone, and she gave a miserable look, as if she had been greatly aggrieved. I couldn't help but be surprised, what could she be aggrieved by?

She wiped the corners of her eyes and told me, "My father wants to marry someone, things are too sudden, so I panicked."

I was stunned, her father is going to remarry? What? I thought her father was a good person last time, but I didn't think he was going to marry another woman, and Lin Yin Yin’s mother had only been dead for three months.

But I can't really criticize him like this, remarrying isn't a terrible thing to do, but it is a big deal, like if my dad remarries, I'm sure I wouldn't like it that much.

And it seems like Lin Yin Yin feels the same way, and she's crying right now. I didn't know what to say for a moment, but I thought about it and asked what the woman like?

Lin Yin Yin shook her head: "I don't know, I've never even met her, she's a new acquaintance of dad's, and they're certainly together now."

I secretly thought that the stepmother must have a lot of charisma, otherwise Lin Yin Yin's father would not have been taken so easily.

I just hoped that they were in a loving relationship, but if the stepmother was a bad person, Lin Yin Yin would suffer in the future.

I reassured her again, "Don't worry, your father will definitely just talk to you first and arrange for you to meet with that woman, and then make plans if you don't like her."

Lin Yin Yin's eyes started to tear up: "How can I agree to that? I don't want an outsider to be my mother, my mother has only been dead for three months, I don't want that."

She was a little emotional, and I didn't want to aggravate her and just say you should go to bed and try not to think about it.

She nodded gently, I was about to leave, if I rush back now I should still have time to return to my dormitory, but after I turned around, I suddenly heard the sound of a car from far away.

Lin Yin Yin was startled: "My father is back!" I said how did you know? She was very anxious: "I know that sound very well, he's in the parking lot, he's very close."

I said I should quickly run then. She was even more anxious: " There is only one exit, he will definitely find you, you need to hide."

She was really afraid that her father would find me and she pulled me upstairs to hide. I smiled a little, so what if I was discovered once I got out of this door? She is so sensitive.

But I also wanted to see her father, maybe I could uncover something. I went back into her closet again, and Lin Yin Yin haphazardly grabbed her dress pants to cover me, and then ran down with a whimper, "Your shoes."

I was also startled, my shoes were still at the door. But she quickly went, and threw my shoes in the cupboard.

Now both of us were relieved, she instructed me not to move around or make a sound, and then she went to sit on her bed to ease her emotions.

I'm still nervous, you know, it feels like we're having an affair, and if her father finds out I'll be killed.

I slowed down my breathing, then heard footsteps upstairs, and my entire nervous system was tense.

I couldn't see outside, but I could hear voices. Lin Yin Yin's father came into the room. Lin Yin Yin didn't say anything, and her father spoke gently, "Yin Yin, what's wrong?"

Lin Yin Yin has calmed down but speaks aggressively and angrily, "I don't want a new mother!"

She sounded like a child gambling with her anger, and she probably looked quite cute. Her father smiled helplessly, and then went to hug her: "Yin Yin, daddy needs to find someone to take care of you, I'm worried every time I leave you home alone on a business trip."

Lin Yin Yin said she was already grown up and didn't need someone to take care of her. Her father sighed, "Then Daddy needs someone to take care of him too."

Then there was a half-hearted silence, and Lin Yin Yin seemed to be holding her breath and refused to speak. I had stopped being nervous, but then her father came towards the closet: "It's cold, you need to wear more at night."

I pissed myself with fear, he came to get some clothes. I got sweaty for a split second, but then Lin Yin Yin shouted, "It's not cold!"

She was probably shocked, and yelled in a panic. Her father stopped and did not come over, seemingly very sad: "Well, this is something we talk about over time, I hope you can meet with her to get acquainted."

He finished speaking and left, Lin Yin Yin went over and closed the door, I breathed a long sigh of relief, she came to open the closet, I wiped my sweat endlessly: "That scared me to death."

Lin YinYin pursed her lips, "I yelled at him, he was sad."

It was out of her control, and I didn't know what to say. Theoretically her father is right, but this was hard to accept if you had human emotions, and if it were me I would not be willing to accept an outsider as a mother.

I hesitantly spoke: "I see your father is a very good man, why don't you meet with that woman first?"

Lin Yin Yin immediately puffed her mouth: "No, I don't want to see her!"

I stopped trying to persuade her, and after thinking about it, I said I'd leave. Lin Yin Yin opened the door and looked outside, "Don't leave so soon, my father is sitting in the hall."

She closed the door and turned off the light. I said what are you doing? She shushed me: "I'll pretend to sleep, and you can leave when my dad is asleep, like last time."

That was okay, but the darkness in the room was uncomfortable. Lin Yin Yin fumbled to turn on the lamp, and now there was finally some light.

She sat down on the bed with a sad face and I didn't know what she was thinking. I also went over and sat down, and what should be said was already said, and it was up to Lin Yin Yin to decide what she wanted to do.

I didn't say anything, but Lin Yin Yin suddenly said sadly, "I... miss my mother so much."

I was not good at dealing with this kind of situation, so I could only look at her with concern.

She ended up saying a lot of things, all about her mother, during which she shed tears several times, and it broke my heart to see that this little loli was also very miserable inside.

I have been silently listening, and then she suddenly got out of bed and laid on the floor. I was startled, her little hip was shuffling.

I said what are you doing? She was still shuffling around, her head was under the bed: "I want a drink."

She dragged a box out, and once she opened the lid, there were several bottles of wine and cigarettes inside. (TN: what)

I could not believe that she was hiding these things? I quickly froze: "Why- what are you doing? You can't drink or smoke."

She sat on the floor and fiddled with the bottles of wine: "I hid them after my mother died, sometimes I want to drink when I'm too sad, but I haven't. Today you are also here, so let's drink together."

This is not good, I stopped her: "It's really bad for your health, we have classes tomorrow."

She glared at me: "Are you a man, this is red wine, my father drinks it every day, it shouldn't be that bad, I'm bored, drink with me."

So it is red wine, this is some high-end goods, and those people on TV like to drink it.

I was curious, maybe I should get a sip of the legendary red wine.

So I sat next to her. She unscrewed the lid, and it gave off a strange smell, anyways, how are we going to drink this without any cups?

We both smelled for a while, and then Lin Yin Yin gave me the wine: "One bottle per person."

This was way too big, but since it was red wine, one bottle shouldn’t do that much.

So we started drinking, and then got drunk.

Translator Notes: okay so that happened i did not take Lin Yin Yin to do this, and MC was easily convinced for some reason, anyways schedules will probably be like this from now on unless im drained because of school, until next time, ciao
