Chapter 162

“Can I get a kiss?”

He could have just kissed her directly, but if Ji Yun didn’t agree, he would never touch her.

“No kisses. Wait until you choose who your girlfriend is.”

“Then if I choose Superstar Chu as my girlfriend, can I kiss you?”

“Keep dreaming!”

Ji Yun flicked him on the forehead and then slipped out from beside him, running away in a flash.

Half a minute later, he finished changing his clothes and came out, seeing old man Qin, who wasn’t even 60 yet but had nearly all white hair.

A little over a month ago, he had met old man Qin before going to the market where he met Su Qingwan’s mother. Back then, his hair wasn’t like this.

It was a week after that day that Aunt Qin passed away, and now his hair had turned white, showing how much of a shock it was for him.

Luckily, old man Qin’s health was still good. When he was young, he was one of the top workers on the construction site. Even now, in his old age, he was stronger than most young people.

“Xiao Xu, I heard from your mom that your cooking is better than hers?”

“Haha, not that good, but I can cook a few dishes.”

Xu Lin modestly replied. In reality, he could only cook a few dishes very well, about four or five that reached a chef’s level.

“Don’t be modest. I’ll have to try your cooking next time.”

“Sure, sure.” Xu Lin sat next to Ji Yun.

Old man Qin looked at the two of them, a smile appearing on his face. “Are you two dating?”

“No, no, we’re just classmates.” Xu Lin replied, and Ji Yun nodded. Old man Qin shook his head as if he saw through them, and picked up a peanut.

At this moment, Xu Lin’s dad came in from outside and saw old man Qin’s back.

“Oh, Brother Qin is here. Want a drink?”

“No, my stomach hasn’t been well lately. I’ll just have some beer, not the strong stuff.”

“Hahaha, I thought you quit drinking. I can’t handle the strong stuff either, so let’s have four beers each.”

“Sure.”

A few minutes later, all the dishes were ready. There were six large plates, all meat dishes. In other words, over six pounds of pork had turned into five of those dishes.

There was braised pork, crispy pork, mushrooms with meat, pepper stir-fried meat, sweet and sour pork, and steamed fish, along with some cold dishes and peanuts.

“Ji Yun, how much rice would you like?” Li Yuan brought the rice cooker to the table, letting everyone serve themselves.

“Auntie, I won’t eat any rice tonight.”

He quickly put down the plates and went to the door, thinking it might be Chu Fengyi and others, but he saw a familiar man and woman instead.

Qin Lang and his daughter. Since the first time Chu Qingchan had come to his house and given them a lesson, Qin Lang had come to apologize twice, but they hadn’t seen him since. The godfather, who had a good relationship with his father, had been too embarrassed to visit.

After such a long time, why had he brought his daughter here?

“Uncle Qin, what’s the matter?”

Xu Lin didn’t let them in immediately and leaned against the door to ask.

“The old man asked us to bring something over.”

“Come in then.” Since it was for the old man, Xu Lin had nothing more to say.

Although Qin Lang was a freeloader and his daughter was arrogant and lost, the old man was truly a good person.

Even though they hadn’t met often, the relationship between the old man and his father had lasted almost 30 years, which was almost like having a real son.

When Qin Tiantian passed by him, Xu Lin noticed a strong smell of medicine on her, as if she had just come from a medical ward.

But he didn’t think much of it and followed them inside. His father saw them and immediately turned cold.

“What are you doing here?”

“The old man remembered it was your birthday a few days ago but felt awkward about coming over, so he sent us to bring you a gift.”

“Tell the old man there’s no need for the elderly to give things to the young. Take it back.”

“No, the old man insisted, and it’s not anything valuable, just a belt.”

“A belt... okay then.”

When he heard it was just a belt, Xu Lin’s dad didn’t refuse anymore. Since it was already bought, he might as well accept it.

At that moment, Qin Tiantian, who was standing behind, suddenly trembled and ran towards old man Qin.

Xu Lin thought she was about to cause trouble and tried to stop her, but she knelt down beside old man Qin.

Old man Qin, who was pouring himself a drink, was taken aback and looked down at her. “What’s going on, young lady?”

“Thank you. Thank you for saving my life.”

“Huh? You are...?” Old man Qin looked closely at her and suddenly realized.

“You’re the girl who slit her wrists?!”
