Chapter 29

As the days passed by, Lin remained tired, but her heart was full of sunshine. Xu Juan’s body was getting better day by day, and those dark and gloomy days were gradually going away.

In a blink of an eye, Huo Jinlin hasn’t come back for two weeks, Lin is still surprised in her heart and takes advantage of her lunch break to give Huo Jinlin a call.

“Your coworker hasn’t come back yet? How come it took so long to change shifts?”

Huo Jinlin was shocked and was dumbfounded by the question, he had to extend his business trip due to work matters, and had forgotten about Lin still’s side.

Not hearing an echo, Lin still takes down her cell phone and looks at it, it’s still on a normal call, she asks strangely, “Huo Jinlin, are you still there?”

“In, still in,” Huo Jinlin returned to her senses, casually looking for an excuse, saying, “A colleague had an accident at home and went back to his hometown, so he couldn’t come back for a while, and he still needs me to help him cover for a while.”

“Oh oh, that’s fine.”

Lin remained half-convinced, with a few moments of unhappiness in her heart, but there was nothing she could do about it.

She and Lin Yi Yi had already gotten used to Huo Jinlin’s presence, and all of a sudden when he didn’t come back for such a long period of time, Lin still really wasn’t accustomed to it.

Huo Jinlin on the other end of the phone heard that her tone was off and thought it was because she didn’t believe him, so he busily added, “Don’t worry, as soon as he comes back from dealing with things in his hometown, I’ll be switching to a normal shift.”

Lin still isn’t one to play small temper, hearing him say this, the small emotions in her heart are instantly gone, remembering that he has been on duty for two weeks straight, she is a little worried.

“Can you physically handle it? It’s been two weeks of night shifts.”

“It’s fine,” listening to his caring tone, Huo Jinlin feels as if there is a warm current running through his heart, and his tone unconsciously softens, “I’ll take care of myself.”

Staying up all night is the most damaging, Lin is still worried that Huo Jinlin’s body has collapsed, and is also afraid that he won’t be able to eat the things prepared by the company.

“Forget it, why don’t I make you something to eat tomorrow and send it over, and then buy you some daily necessities, the conditions in your dormitory are definitely not better than at home, so just tell me what’s missing and I’ll send it over to you.”

Huo Jinlin thousands of defense, did not expect Lin still will make this request, but also afraid of her heart suspicion, had to harden their heads and should be down.

Two people some pleasantries, Lin still hung up the phone, Huo Jinlin looked at the phone but sleepy, his mind unconsciously remembered Song Yu evening words.

Lin is still very dependent on him now, and Huo Jinlin can also see that she is really attached to herself, Huo Jinlin thinks that there is no harm in telling her the truth, perhaps for the two children, this is the best.

Right, that’s it. Huo Jinlin secretly decided in his heart that he would tell Lin still the truth after he returned from his business trip.

He completely forgot all about Lin still wanting to send him something to the company, however, early the next morning, the crisp ringing of his cell phone woke him up, Huo Jinlin’s sleepy eyes hazily took the cell phone on the nightstand, and on it was clearly written the three words Lin still.

Frightened, he sat up in a hurry and pressed the answer button.

“Huo Jinlin, send me the address of your company, Yiyi isn’t going to school today on the weekend, we’ll go to the hospital and come back and send the stuff over to you.”

Eh, he wasn’t at the company at all, how can he pretend now?

In order to avoid Lin still discovering the truth, Huo Jinlin had to find a lame excuse: “Apart from the company’s internal staff, other people can’t come in and out as they please, so just help me put the stuff at the security colleague who’s on duty during the day, I’ll come out to get it when I’m free in a while.”

“Well, okay, then you send me the address, remember to get it when you’re empty, it’s all food, don’t get bad then.”

Listening to her tone, she didn’t get suspicious, Huo Jinlin let out a sigh of relief and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll go right away when I’m empty, it won’t be bad.”

Lin still didn’t notice anything strange at all, and after instructing him a few more times, she hung up the phone.

Listening to the beeping sound coming from the other end of the phone, Huo Jinlin hurriedly dialed his assistant’s number.

“Who’s the security guard on duty during the day today? There’s a lady who’s going to send something over to me later, so ask him to collect it for me, and if the lady asks about me at that time, just say that I’m his colleague, and that I’m filling in for someone else on night duty during this time.”

“Huh?” The assistant listens in confusion, “Mr. Huo, what do you mean by that?”

Huo Jinlin has a few moments of embarrassment, this is probably a case of telling one lie and then needing countless lies to round it up, he coughs lightly, “Just do as I say, remember, don’t ever show your face.”

“Okay, I’ll go do it.”

The assistant was unsure, and didn’t dare to ask any more questions, so he could only truthfully go and instruct the security guard on duty.

The security guard naturally obeyed his words, so much so that when Lin still came with her things, the security guard calmly sent her away without the slightest hint of a break.

Lin Yi Yi looked at such a big company, her eyes were glowing, “Sister, this building is so high, sister works here, the salary should be very high, right?”

“Maybe, but he works hard too, don’t always let him buy you things in the future.”

Huo Jinlin’s paycheck card had been given to Lin still, but she had never touched the money in there, nor had she looked at how much he actually got paid each month.

Lin Yi Yi knew that her sister would always have a stern face to teach her a lesson, so she could only spit her tongue out mischievously and didn’t say anything more about the topic.

Sisters riding the bus back, off the bus and walk a section of the big sun, has long been exhausted, who knows but in front of the house to see a familiar figure, the sisters’ footsteps at the same time stopped.

That person was precisely Lin Tianjun who had disappeared for a while, Lin still’s face darkened: “What are you doing here?”

Lin Tianjun’s body was dirty and in a sorry state, but his expression was fierce as he stared at them, “What are you doing here? Of course I’m looking for money from you, two money losers.”

Lin Yi Yi nervously hid behind Lin still, Lin still angrily said, “You put your mouth clean, have you forgotten the lesson from last time? If you come back to pester me again, I will not let it go.”

“Lin still, I’m not afraid to wear shoes when I’m barefoot, I’ll never leave until you give me money this time.”

This time Lin Tianjun has been Xin Caidie cheated all the money, at this moment has been homeless, to find Lin still is determined to ask for money, if Lin still does not give, he will not go.

Lin still roughly guessed this, but still firmly refused: “My money to my mom treatment, now a penny is not, you just follow me is also useless, not I do not give you, is that I really can not take out.”
