Chapter 53

Liang Zihao nodded and went upstairs with a thoughtful face, and just as he entered the door, he heard his cell phone ring.

Once he saw the name of the memo, he hurriedly answered it, “Ninth Brother.”

“Zihao, did something happen in your house tonight?”

Ling Yuan’s voice was as cold as ever, but if one was familiar with him, it wasn’t hard to hear a hint of anxiety in his voice, and Liang Zihao happened to be one of the people familiar with him.

“Ninth brother,” Liang Zihao froze, thinking that it was Ji Yu who had said something to him, “Did Ji Yu say something to you?”

Ling Yuan: “It’s because she didn’t say anything, that’s why I came to ask you. Her mood is a bit off, usually she’s doing her homework at this time, and just now she even said she wants to sleep.”

It was only after eight o’clock, which student went to bed so early?

During this period of time, Liang Zi Hao had long seen that Ling Yuan had a different mood towards Ji Yu, but he just hadn’t picked it out from the others, and he didn’t have much to do to remind Ji Yu, after all, he wasn’t sure if Ling Yuan was just in a momentary fling or if he was doing a protracted battle.

Moreover, something like feelings, it was still up to the person concerned to comprehend it on their own.

So, he watched them go with the flow.

It’s just that he didn’t expect Ling Yuan to be so attached to Ji Yu that he could even detect her tiny emotional changes.

He now believed that Ling Yuan was really that serious about Ji Yu.

Liang Zihao told him what he had inquired from Aunt Chen, then said, “I see that she does have some emotions, and she didn’t eat much for dinner.”

Ling Yuan held the phone in his hand, his chest heaving up and down.

He was infuriated.

It’s just as well that Liang Zixuan doesn’t know what she’s doing, why is her mom so reckless as well?

She had already misunderstood her last time at the mall, and this time the same old trick was repeated, no, it was a repeat of an old incident.

Couldn’t she give more credit to Ji Yu?

Thinking of her clenched fists at the mall that day, it was as if he saw the vulnerability hidden underneath the little girl’s stubborn surface.

The way she reddened her eyes, didn’t explain, and allowed herself to be wronged was like a sharp knife stabbing into his heart.

Ling Yuan’s heart instantly ached for this girl, more so than if he had been misunderstood himself.

He couldn’t see her being misunderstood and wronged, even if that person was her own mother.

She was so beautiful, so holy, how could she bear those stigmas?

Even though Ling Yuan had only known her for a short month, but with his understanding, she had a pride in her bones and would never take someone else’s things.

Auntie Bai really did wrong on her side.

“Good.”

Ling Yuan collected the phone and went straight into the kitchen, rummaged through the refrigerator, took two eggs, noodles, side dishes and sauces, etc., and rolled up his sleeves to prepare some snacks.

Auntie Huang came out after finishing her work and saw him busy there, she was a bit curious, “Young master, what are you going to do? Why don’t I help you do it? Don’t get your clothes dirty.”

Aunt Huang walked up and looked over one by one, fried eggs, hot dry noodles, and pastries in the lunchbox, her eyes widened in surprise.

“Yo, making so much, is it the master and old madam who want to have a midnight snack?”

Ling Yuan shook his head, “No, they don’t eat.”

“Then it’s you who’s hungry?”

“Uh-huh.” Ling Yuan casually responded, “Auntie Huang, I can get it myself, you go about your business.”

Seeing that she really didn’t need her help, Auntie Huang said a few words and walked away.

Ling Yuan finished the snacks, packed them carefully and left the door.

When Auntie Huang finished her work, she saw him carrying something on his back and muttered, “Didn’t young master say he was hungry? Who is he packing for?”

Turning back to see Grandma Ling coming down the stairs, she went up to help her, “Why is the old lady coming downstairs? I’ll send you up anything you want.”

Grandma Ling said, “The old man inexplicably said he wanted to drink milk, so I came down to warm it up for him so that he wouldn’t sneak down to drink the ice himself.”

Elder Ling likes to drink milk, and he likes to drink it cold, and he has diarrhea after drinking it, so Grandma Ling can’t even look at him.

“Just now Ah Jiu went out?”

Grandma Ling seemed to see Ling’s back as he walked out.

“Yes, young master said he was hungry and made himself some pasta and carried it away, and I don’t know who he ate it with.”

“It’s just those kids around.”

However, Grandma Ling thought it was a bit strange, Ling Yuan didn’t usually cook, Zhou, Liang, Song several boys hadn’t eaten anything made by his own hands, only she and the old man were lucky enough to have a taste, why was he so generous this time?

Grandma Ling didn’t think too much about it, and Auntie Huang helped warm up the milk and took it upstairs.

Ji Yu told Ling Yuan that she wanted to sleep, but in fact, she did not fall asleep, holding her cell phone, back and forth, scratching the cell phone and Chi Zhao’s several photos, the more you look at the more sad, unknowingly, tears also flowed down.

She slightly tilted up her face and reached out to wipe away her tears, but that soft stunning face was a little pale, soft and heartbreaking.

After an unknown amount of time, the door was knocked on outside.

Ji Yu rubbed her face and organized her emotions before she opened the door, but she saw Liang Zihao standing at the door, froze and asked, “Brother Zihao, is there something wrong?”

The voice carried a bit of a nasal tone.

Liang Zihao looked at her for a few moments, seeing her eyes reddened, “You, are you alright?”

“It’s fine.” Ji Yu squeezed a smile, “Sand got into my eyes just now.”

Such a shoddy excuse, Liang Zihao doesn’t deny it, “Just now I saw that you didn’t eat a few bites, I packed a few snacks for you, quickly eat them while they’re hot.”

Ji Yu: “Thank you brother Zihao, I’m not hungry.”

Liang Zihao, however, shoved it into her hand, “Eat it quickly, it won’t taste good if it gets cold, eat and go to bed early, don’t think so much. I’m leaving.”

“Thanks.”

“You’re welcome.” Liang Zihao waved his hand to her with his back, his back dashing.

Ji Yu held her lunchbox and watched Liang Zihao walk away before closing the door.

Back in her room, Ji Yu unwrapped the bag, revealing the familiar blue and white lunchbox.

Isn’t this the same lunchbox that Ling Yuan usually brings for snacks?

So, all this food was sent by Ling Yuan?

Seeing the familiar recipe contained in the lunchbox – hot dry noodles, as well as a fragrant fried egg – she became more and more certain of her suspicions.

It was also true that he was the only one who would send food at this hour.

Ji Yu’s eyes warmed up a little as she picked up her cell phone and quickly typed a line: [Senior, did you send the stuff?

Ling Yuan didn’t reply to the message, but in the next second, Ji Yu heard a thud from the window, and subconsciously opened the window to look down, only to find that Ling Yuan was standing downstairs.

I don’t know how long he had been standing there, but the wind outside was a bit strong, blowing his hair messy.

The teenager looked up and waved to her, his stern face softened a lot under the light.

Ji Yu inexplicably felt that at this moment he was as gentle as a gentleman.

Then she sees him pointing to his cell phone and gesturing for her to pick up the phone.

Ji Yu looked down at her cell phone, it turned out that he called his voice over, pressed answer and shouted in a low voice, “Senior.”

“Didn’t want you to know, is the food good?”

“Haven’t eaten yet.”

“Then hurry up and eat it while it’s hot, I’ll call you afterward.”

Ji Yu looked at him, “Senior, have you eaten?”

Ling Yuan laughs softly and says softly, “I’m not hungry, so eat quickly.”

Ji Yu lowered her eyes and spoke lowly, “Then can you eat with me?”

“What?”
