After a simple chat, Song Qian learned about Lin Yi's situation. He had just transferred to Spring Breeze Middle School and had not officially started school yet. He should report to school when school started.
After knowing that Lin Yi would soon be Qiao Yingzi's classmate, Song Qian was even more concerned about Lin Yi's situation. However, Song Qian was too embarrassed to ask where Lin Yi got the money to buy a house and furniture.
"It's already dinner time. You just moved into the house and don't have any tools to start a fire. Come to my house to eat.”Song Qian said with a smile. When she smiled, her eyes were like crescent moons, giving off an amiable aura.
"It's fine, Auntie. I'll just eat something outside.”Lin Yi was a little embarrassed to go to someone's house for dinner when he had just met her.
"Since it's already done, don't go out to eat. The food outside is not clean. Let's go.”Song Qian did not give any explanation and insisted on letting Lin Yi eat at her house. She was so enthusiastic that Lin Yi was embarrassed to reject her.
Seeing that he couldn't push it over, Lin Yi could only agree. He smiled and said," Alright then. Thank you, Auntie. I'm really sorry."”
"Hai, what's the big deal? We'll be neighbors in the future and we'll take care of each other. I have a daughter called Yingzi. She's the same age as you and is also in her third year of high school.”
Next door, Lin Yi followed Song Qian into her house with the key.
"Mom, you're back. Eh?" Qiao Yingzi heard the sound of the door opening. As soon as she finished speaking, she saw someone following behind Song Qian. He looked young, about eighteen or nineteen years old. He was quite good-looking. Could he be her mother's student? He had never seen her before.
Song Qian was the top lecturer at Spring Breeze High School. There were many students who came to Song Qian's house to teach, so Qiao Yingzi was already used to it.
"This is our next-door neighbor, Lin Yi. He just transferred to Spring Breeze Middle School. He might even be your classmate when school starts.”Song Qian smiled as she introduced them to Qiao Yingzi.
"Xiao Yi, this is my daughter, Qiao Yingzi.”
"Hello, my name is Lin Yi."
"Hello, my name is Qiao Yingzi."
The two of them looked at each other and introduced themselves.
This girl was quite good-looking. She had a ponytail and had a heroic aura. Her small face was delicate and fair. Yes, Yingzi. This name was also very down-to-earth.
"Xiao Yi just moved in, so we don't have any tools at home. He'll eat at our house today. Yingzi, bring Xiao Yi to wash his hands.”
"Hey, come with me." After Yingzi finished speaking, she brought Lin Yi to wash his hands.
How awkward!
Lin Yi felt quite awkward. This was the first time he had eaten at a stranger's house.
After washing her hands with Yingzi, the two of them sat at the dining table.
Song Qian had already placed the dishes on the table." Hurry up and eat. You must be hungry. Xiao Yi, I don't know what flavor you like to eat. Eat it if you can. Don't laugh at me for not cooking well."”
"How can that be? These dishes look delicious.”Lin Yi smiled brightly. Looking at the dishes on the table, his heart felt sour.
Two lifetimes! In his previous life, he had lived for more than 20 years and transmigrated for no reason. He had never felt the care of his elders. Home-cooked food was the simplest meal, but Lin Yi had never eaten a single meal. After transmigrating, he had grown up in an orphanage and had been eating big pot dishes for more than ten years. He never dreamed that he would one day be able to sit in the living room and eat a few simple home-cooked dishes.
Looking at Lin Yi's red eyes, Song Qian felt a little uncomfortable. This child was an orphan. He must have suffered a lot in the past.
"Don't just stand there. Hurry up and eat." Song Qian called out and filled Lin Yi's bowl with rice.
"Thank you, Auntie."
"Don't be polite, Yingzi.”
"Mom, you're being biased. I'm your biological daughter, but you didn't give me a bowl!”Yingzi complained and stood up to scoop rice for herself, making Lin Yi feel a little awkward.
"Damn, Xiao Yi is a guest. He's not sensible.”Song Qian rolled her eyes.
He sat down to eat. Although there was a faint medicinal smell in these dishes, Lin Yi ate very happily and did not eat much. After all, it was someone else's house, so he had to pay attention to etiquette.
"Don't be so restrained. Eat more. The young man is growing.”Song Qian could see Lin Yi's restraint, so she used the public chopsticks to pick up some food from Lin Yi's bowl.
"Something's wrong!" Qiao Yingzi bit her chopsticks and looked at Song Qian, then at Lin Yi, who was eating. Qiao Yingzi felt that something was wrong. Why was her mother so enthusiastic about Lin Yi?
"Lin Yi, what do your parents do?”Qiao Yingzi decided to inquire about Lin Yi's parents first and see if they knew her mother.
"Yingzi!" Song Qian glared at Yingzi and her tone was a little harsh. Yingzi was a little surprised and didn't understand why her mother was suddenly angry.
Lin Yi smiled at Song Qian and said," Auntie, it's fine.”
What was going on?
Qiao Yingzi's expression was blank. She didn't know what had happened. She had only asked Lin Yi what his parents did for a living. Why did his mother have such a big reaction?
"I grew up in an orphanage.”Lin Yi said with a smile. After all, it had been so many years, and Lin Yi was already used to it. However, Song Qian's heart skipped a beat as she listened calmly. Her motherly love exploded.
What a good child. What were his parents thinking? Why did they send him to an orphanage?
"Ah!" Qiao Yingzi was also stunned. She had not expected such an outcome.
"Then, then why are you living here? The rent here is not cheap!" It was no wonder that Qiao Yingzi was curious. If Lin Yi was an orphan, where did he get the money to live here?
Shuxiang Elegant Garden was a residential area in the school district. It was next to a key middle school, Chunfeng Middle School. The housing prices had always been expensive. A small apartment cost more than 20 million yuan, and the rent was 30 to 40 thousand yuan a month. Lin Yi was an orphan. How could he afford to live here?!
"When I was working, a colleague watched football betting and pulled me to buy it together. I was lucky and made a lot of money.”Lin Yi scratched his head. This matter was indeed quite strange. He wasn't surprised that Qiao Yingzi was curious, but Lin Yi had already thought of a way to explain it.
"Bet on the periphery! Gambling on football!" Qiao Yingzi asked in surprise.
Lin Yi nodded." Yes, I won a lot of money in the World Cup. Then, I earned some money in the League of Legends World Competition last year. I bought a house with the money I earned.”
"So powerful!" Qiao Yingzi's eyes weren't big, but they were already wide open, and her face was filled with disbelief.
Song Qian did not expect Lin Yi to be so lucky. He had earned tens of millions from gambling. She knew about the apartment next door. It was expensive. Thirty million was the lowest price.
"The risk of betting on football is too high. Xiao Yi, you must be careful in the future. Don't go too crazy.”Song Qian hurriedly reminded.
Just because they were lucky in the past didn't mean that they would be lucky in the future. Some people were addicted to gambling and lost their families.
"Yes, don't worry, Auntie. I've already stopped. The coworker who followed me to gamble lost all the money he earned last year and even borrowed a lot of money. I can see that I can't touch this thing anymore. I'm going to go to school in peace and not touch anything.”
"You're right. It's the right thing to do to go to school in peace. You're still young now, and you already have a house. There won't be so much pressure in your life in the future.”Song Qian said with a smile as she picked up another piece of food for Lin Yi.
After the meal, Lin Yi wanted to help Song Qian clean up the cutlery, but Song Qian chased him to the living room to watch TV. Qiao Yingzi, who was beside him, also basked in the light and could finally watch TV.
In the past, Qiao Yingzi would only do her homework after she came home. After she finished her homework, she would have to do the test papers. Song Qian was the best teacher in Spring Breeze Middle School. Although she had left her job, she had a good relationship with the teachers in the school. She had the test papers for all subjects. Every day, Qiao Yingzi had to do the test papers for all subjects. Her life could be described as " deep and torturous."
He could finally rest a little more today.
