"Yingzi, you seem to be in a bad mood. What's wrong? Were you bullied in school?"
Lin Yi pulled Zai Yingzi and asked.
"No, no one dares to bully me. It's just my mom. Look, my mom is making herbal dishes again. The whole room smells of medicine. She even told me that she's under a lot of pressure.”
"It's normal for you to be stressed. It's already the third year of high school. Godmother wants you to get into a good university.”
"That's not a good university. She wants me to go to Qingbei, but I don't want to. I want to go to Nanjing University.”
"Go to Nanjing University? Why?" Lin Yi was puzzled. Qingbei should be the best university in the country. Even if it wasn't the best, it was still the most famous. How many students worked hard to get into these two schools?
"Because Nanjing University has an aerospace department.”
"Because of this! You can go to Nanjing University for your postgraduate studies. You're a university student at Qingbei and a postgraduate student at Nanjing University. What's there to be conflicted about? But that's not a problem. There's still one more year. Don't give yourself too much pressure now. Let's go. Aren't you hungry? Let's go eat.”
"Yes!" Qiao Yingzi sighed. Although what Lin Yi said was reasonable, she did not feel much more relaxed. There was another reason why she did not want to go to Qingbei, and that was to stay away from Song Qian. Song Qian's high-handed rule over her had almost caused her to break down.
However, it was fine now. With Lin Yi around, he should be able to distract his mother.
……
"Whoa! Godma, what are you doing?”
"Refreshing soup. Drink some later. Don't think that the medicine tastes strong, it's good for your body.”Song Qian smiled and covered the pot. The soup still needed to boil for a while.
"Are you hungry? The food is ready.”
"I'm hungry. Yingzi complained that I opened the door too slowly just now.”Lin Yi closed the door and felt sympathy for Yingzi. The smell of medicine was indeed not good. Who could stand the smell of medicine every day?
Song Qian scooped the rice, and Lin Yi and Qiao Yingzi returned after washing their hands. The food on the table smelled quite fragrant, but the smell of medicine in the room ruined the fragrance of the food. It was fine to eat, but the smell of medicine made them lose their appetite.
Yingzi reluctantly finished her meal and ran back to her room to do her homework, leaving Lin Yi to accompany Song Qian for dinner.
As they chatted, Song Qian's phone suddenly rang.
"Xiao Yi, continue eating. I'm going to take a call.”
"Hey." Lin Yi nodded and ate quietly. He wondered if he should get some snacks for Yingzi. This girl didn't eat much just now.
"Ah, okay, I'll wait for you at home. No, I'm quite busy today and didn't have class.”
Song Qian hung up the phone and returned to the dining table with a smile.
"Godmother's friends will be coming over later. Her son is also from Spring Breeze Middle School. He's in the same class as Yingzi and they're quite close. When they come, you guys can get to know each other.”
"I know, Godmother. I'm full.”Yi put down his chopsticks and smiled.
"I'm full. Have another bowl."
"No need, I've already eaten two bowls.”Lin Yi smiled a little embarrassedly.
"What's wrong with two bowls? You're still growing at your age. Alright, go study after you're full. Yingzi's school has been making up lessons recently. Ask Yingzi to tell you what she taught today. If you don't go for the lessons, it'll be troublesome if you can't keep up with the progress when school officially starts.”
"Okay, I'll go get my things." Lin Yi nodded obediently.
"Go ahead." Song Qian rubbed Lin Yi's head. She liked Lin Yi's obedience very much. She could also see that Lin Yi was still a little restrained. However, this was normal. It would be fine once they got used to it in the future.
After leaving Song Qian's house, Lin Yi went back to his room to get his phone. However, he did not go to Song Qian's house immediately. Instead, he prepared to go to the supermarket at the entrance of the community to buy something.
When he was chatting with Yingzi, he talked about her favorite snacks. Song Qian didn't allow Yingzi to eat these things at all. Lin Yi planned to buy some and secretly put them in his bag to bring them to Yingzi. After he finished eating, he would stuff the packaging into his bag without anyone knowing.
He carried his school bag and bought a few bags of potato chips and prawn sticks outside the neighborhood. He couldn't buy too many. If he couldn't finish them all at once, he would be easily discovered. Just a few bags would do.
After paying, he stuffed the things into his bag. Lin Yi carried his bag and walked back. It was August now, and the sky was dark. Although it was almost six o'clock, the sky was still bright.
As they walked towards the fifth building, Lin Yi noticed that a man in front of him was holding a large box under his arm. He looked left and right from time to time, making it look sneaky.
He thought about the notice posted by the property security department in the elevator that said that there had been thieves in the neighborhood recently, often following the owners into the unit to steal things.
Could it be this person?
It wasn't that Lin Yi was suspicious, but this man's actions were too much like a thief. If he wasn't guilty, why would he be so sneaky?
It was abnormal, too abnormal.
When they arrived at gate number five, the unit door was locked. They couldn't enter without the magnetic buckle issued by the residential property.
"Is this person from Building Five?" Lin Yi looked at the man in confusion and did not open the door.
"Young man, are you from Building Five? Help me open the door." The man turned around and saw Lin Yi behind him. He smiled politely.
"Hmm?"
Lin Yi was stunned for a moment. This man looked familiar! Isn't this God Thief? Bai Zhantang!
Forget about Xiao Longnu, it could be a coincidence, but why did Bai Zhantang appear?
At this moment, Lin Yi suddenly had an epiphany. Could it be that he had been reborn into some TV series?!
"Well, I'm also the owner of this place. I live in room 403.”Seeing that Lin Yi was in a daze and ignoring him, Qiao Weidong felt quite awkward. After saying that, he turned around and pressed 403 on the beeper.
The beeper rang for a long time before it finally connected. The man leaned over and said," Yingzi, open the door, Daddy.”
"This is Yingzi's father!"
"Why are you here?" Song Qian's voice came from the beeper. She sounded rather impatient.
"Are you at home? Um, no, Song Qian, can you open the door for me? I have something for the child.”
"We agreed to meet once a month. Don't break the rules, okay? You should go back first.”
"Don't, don't. I have an appointment with the child. The child is waiting.”Qiao Weidong said anxiously, afraid that Song Qian would hang up.
"She's doing her papers. I have students here too. They're all quite busy. Don't disturb them. Ah, let's go back first.”
Song Qian said impatiently and hung up.
"Uncle, you're Yingzi's father!”Lin Yi looked awkwardly at the helpless Qiao Weidong and said.
"Ah, you know Yingzi! Are you Song Qian's student?" Qiao Weidong was also embarrassed and forced a smile.
"I do. I live in room 402. Song Qian is my godmother.”
Qiao Weidong's eyes widened in shock." Song Qian is your godmother!”
