Chapter 38

On the same day, Lin still sent Xu Juan back to the hospital, put everything in order, and confirmed with the doctor that Xu Juan’s return home yesterday wouldn’t affect her condition, before she left with peace of mind.

After hearing Xu Juan’s words, Lin Yi Yi adamantly refused to sleep in the same room with Lin still, shaking her head like a rattle.

“Mom said that when you get married, you have to live with your brother-in-law, so I can’t live with you anymore.”

These words coming from a seven year old girl, Lin still broke so embarrassed and shyly reddened her face.

“Yiyi, I’m living with my brother-in-law …… Anyway, my sister is living with you right now, and I’ll only move over to live with my brother-in-law when my mom comes back later, okay?”

She really didn’t know how to explain so much to a small child, and could only say it in such a vague and very her.

Unexpectedly, Lin Yi Yi was as stubborn as she was, she promised Xu Juan that she would do what she said, and adamantly refused to let Lin still enter the room.

“No, I have to listen to mom, I don’t want my brother-in-law to leave.”

Even closing the door with a snap after entering the room, Lin still looked at the closed door in front of her and could only shake her head helplessly.

Xu Juan must have told her that if she lived with her again, Huo Jinlin would leave one day or something like that, and that she liked Huo Jinlin a lot, which is why she was so adamant.

Forced to carry the quilt to the door of Huo Jinlin’s room, Lin still hesitates as she looks at the cream-colored oak door that is also tightly closed.

Hands raised and lowered, several times but never knocked down, time passes by, until Lin still finally summoned the courage to raise her hand, but the room door was suddenly opened from the inside.

The two of them don’t know what to say for a moment. Huo Jinlin sees that she is empty-handed and doesn’t know that she was kicked out.

“Is something wrong?”

“No …… no,” Lin still stammered a little, face capitalized embarrassment: “I …… was driven out by Yi Yi, mom explained before she left, forbidding I live in a room with her again.”

Huo Jinlin’s expression was also unnatural for a moment, before he stepped back and made way: “Come in.”

Lin still walks in and sits on the bed, her hands nervously twisted together, and she doesn’t speak or move, just sitting quietly on the edge of the bed.

Last night’s bedding is still on the side of the cabinet, Huo Jinlin took it out and started to lay it on the floor.

Lin still has some guilt in her heart, and after seeing him flatten the bedding, she took the initiative to say, “Why don …… t I sleep on the floor tonight?”

Huo Jinlin collapsed directly onto the floor, his voice faintly said, “The ground is cool, you can rest assured that you will sleep on the bed.”

His tone can’t be heard as happy or sad, but Lin still feels warm in her heart, like a warm current brushing through her heart.

The night is getting deeper and deeper, the lights are gradually going out, the room is quiet and still, in the darkness you can only hear each other’s slight breathing.

Lin is still lying in bed, tossing and turning, but she is on pins and needles, not daring to move for fear that the noise will be too loud and affect Huo Jinlin’s rest.

As a result, she slept through the night, her body aching and uncomfortable, but she could only go to the hospital to give Xu Juan breakfast with two giant black circles under her eyes.

Xu Juan looked at her like that and was a bit worried, “Didn’t sleep well last night?”

If she didn’t mention it, Lin still remembered Lin Yi Yi’s words and couldn’t help but say, “Mom, why did you say those words to Yi Yi, she’s a child, how would she understand?”

“So what’s going on with you guys? I heard Yiyi say you’ve been sleeping in separate rooms?”

Originally, Xu Juan shouldn’t worry about these things, but she’s worried that Lin still has that unreliable ex-boyfriend in her mind, affecting her relationship with Huo Jinlin.

In her mind, Huo Jinlin is much more pleasant to look at than the previous man. If she hadn’t been in the hospital, she would never have allowed them to stay in different rooms for so long, wouldn’t it have affected the couple’s relationship?

Lin still didn’t know how to explain it to her, and only said, “This is what we both meant, at first we were unfamiliar with each other, and needed to have an adaptation process.”

Her reason was far-fetched, Xu Juan wanted to ask a few more questions, but the doctor suddenly came in to check on the room, so the words had to stop at the end of her sentence.

Lin is still relieved.

Since the two were forced to share a room, the relationship between Huo Jinlin and Lin still became strange, a little awkward and a little ambiguous, so much so that a few words with him Lin still blushed.

At night, Lin still sleeps on the bed, and Huo Jinlin is on the floor next to the bed.

In the darkness, Lin still fell asleep in a daze before she heard Huo Jinlin’s magnetic voice ringing in the room.

“Still, come home with me, grandma and the others want to see you!”

Since the children have all reached an agreement, Lin still should always go and meet them, after all, there’s still grandma and the others, they’re his elders no matter what, so it’s only right to pay them a visit.

But Lin still has the words Huo Nantian said that day echoing in her mind, and she is unwilling to do anything about it.

“Let’s wait for some time, Huo Jinlin, I think it’s necessary for you to think clearly, there’s an unbridgeable gap between me and you.”

Her life is a reality that she can never change, even if she tries harder, she can’t catch up, and in Huo Jinlin’s case, not only will she not be able to provide help, she might even become a burden to him for the rest of his life.

As the words fell out of her mouth, the temperature in the room seemed to drop a few points, no one spoke, and Lin remained tense and didn’t dare to breathe out loud.

A moment later, a sparse sound came, and Huo Jinlin suddenly sat up violently.

With a very serious tone, he looked in the direction of the bed and said, “Still, if it’s because of my father’s words, then you don’t need to care, because I’m nothing more than a pawn in his heart, but he’s him, I’m me, and I’m definitely going to stick to my choice.”

Huo Jinlin never thought that his father would actually interfere in his own marital affairs, that’s why he was caught off guard and was set up, if it were usual, the two of them would be equal, and Huo Nantian would be even more afraid to come to Lin still.

Lin still, of course, couldn’t possibly say what Huo Nantian had said to her, but there was still some resistance in her heart to Huo Jinlin’s request to go home.

“Huo Jinlin, it’s not the right time yet, let’s hold off a bit longer!”

Although she didn’t say it out loud, Huo Jinlin roughly guessed it, Huo Nantian what kind of nature, he had already comprehended it for more than twenty years, and had guessed through him long ago, so that’s why he wasn’t willing to prematurely announce Lin still’s identity at that time.

He won’t force her to do something she doesn’t like, so he deliberately pulls away from the topic, “That’s fine, since you don’t want to, then think about it again, I’ll go and explain to them on grandma’s side.”

“Uh-huh.”

Lin still turned her back to him, leaving behind a cold back.
