Chapter 88 Who Wants to Hold Your Hand?! (Fourth Update!)
After a flurry of chaotic cat-like punches, Lin Jianxia—
I still couldn't get that novel.
There was no way around it; after all, the difference in height and build was undeniable, and Jiang Yubai easily subdued him.
Jiang Yubai ignored the girl who was still struggling against his arm. Instead, he looked at the description in the novel in his hand and suddenly realized something.
Holy crap... No wonder Lin Tingwan suddenly stopped wanting a hug and started using him as a human pillow.
So you learned that from this book too?
Jiang Yubai came to his senses and looked at Lin Jianxia again. Her eyes and ears were almost red, and she looked like she was about to cry from anger.
His heart softened, and he stopped teasing her. He reached out and handed her the book, saying, "Here, take it back."
Lin Jianxia was taken aback at first, then quickly snatched the book back into her arms and hugged it tightly to her chest.
Jiang Yu glanced at it, then glanced at it again.
I couldn't help but glance at it again.
"What are you looking at?"
Lin Jianxia's gaze was very wary.
"Oh..." Jiang Yubai casually looked away. "Reading a book."
He cleared his throat and changed the subject;
"Hey Lin Jianxia, if you're going to hide your books, at least hide them properly so they don't get found out so easily, okay?"
"Besides," he said, glancing helplessly at Lin Tingwan on the bed, "it's not like your sister is a child anymore... so what if she watched it?"
Lin Jianxia was still sulking: "It's none of your business!"
"Alright, alright, whatever you want," Jiang Yu waved his hand and sat down next to Lin Tingwan. "I have something to tell you."
Lin Tingwan blinked and looked at him quietly.
"Well—a doctor might come to our house in a couple of days," Jiang Yubai said, trying to soften her tone. "It's Dr. Su, the one who saw you before. He wants to chat with you again and see how you're doing lately."
He paused, observing Lin Tingwan's expression, and added, "Of course, if you don't want to, we won't invite her."
"If you're willing, we can better understand your current situation, and your sister can be there for you better in the future."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a little strange, as if he was getting the feeling of being a parent.
However, having already said it, Jiang Yubai could only bite the bullet and wait for Lin Tingwan's reaction.
Lin Tingwan's gaze lingered on his face for a moment before gently turning to her sister standing beside her, her eyelashes trembling slightly.
Lin Jianxia had no time to care about the novel in her hands at the moment, and looked at her younger sister with some nervousness.
Finally, Lin Tingwan nodded silently.
Jiang Yubai breathed a sigh of relief and his tone became more relaxed: "Okay, okay, your sister and I are going downstairs for a late-night snack. Do you want to come? Grilled chicken wings, grilled lamb skewers, grilled fish—I'll buy you whatever you want."
This time, Lin Tingwan refused quickly, shaking her head to indicate that she would not go.
Sigh... the food-lure method failed...
Jiang Yubai felt a little regretful, but didn't insist. He stood up and said, "Okay, I'll bring you something delicious later."
Watching Jiang Yubai leave, Lin Jianxia looked at the novel in her hand again, hesitated for a moment, and then handed the book to her younger sister.
"Wanwan, there are some things you absolutely must not learn, those are things only couples should do."
After giving a few more instructions, Lin Jianxia waved to Lin Tingwan and said, "I brought you some delicious food, okay?"
On the first day of the National Day holiday, the night market was already bustling with activity at 9 p.m.
The vendors' stalls were already set up: grilled skewers, grilled squid, roasted chestnuts, stinky tofu, oden, and hand-pulled pancakes.
The various aromas mingled together, and the enticing fragrance wafted straight into the nose.
Jiang Yubai stood at the entrance of the residential compound, took a deep breath, and then exhaled a long, satisfied sigh: "This is simply heaven!"
Indeed, moving here was the best decision he ever made in his life.
Lin Jianxia, standing to the side, wrinkled her nose, somewhat disgusted, and said, "Feeding...is it really necessary?"
Jiang Yubai glanced at her, deciding not to argue with this cook who could cook, and simply walked a few steps faster toward the nearest barbecue stall.
"Auntie, two skewers of grilled lamb, two skewers of chicken wings, two skewers of mushrooms, one spicy and one non-spicy."
Lin Jianxia frowned: "Didn't we say we were going to eat grilled fish?"
"There's so much delicious food, let's eat some first before we go. Don't worry, we can eat it all."
Jiang Yubai spoke with conviction.
Lin Jianxia put down her snacks slightly.
But soon...
...and then she regretted it a little.
"Oden? I'd like some, I always crave it when I watch Japanese dramas."
"I think stinky tofu is pretty good, want some? Why are you covering your nose? It smells bad but tastes delicious, trust me."
"Takoyaki? Wow, they even have that? Auntie, two boxes, please."
"Pancake...scallion pancake or savory pancake? Never mind, this seems a bit filling, there won't be any grilled fish later."
Upon entering the snack street, Jiang Yubai acted like a curious child, eagerly approaching every snack he saw.
After pretending to hesitate for a while, he happily bought two portions and handed one to her.
He didn't even bother to ask her opinion!
Feeding ^(*(oo)) is not like that, okay!
Lin Jianxia thought angrily.
At the barbecue stall, the auntie smiled and handed over two skewers of large squid: "Here, take them."
Lin Jianxia took the squid and subconsciously looked to the side: "Jiang..."
'
She blinked, then paused hesitantly.
The area around him was empty; Jiang Yubai was nowhere to be seen.
Turning my head, I saw people coming and going on the street, a bustling scene, but I couldn't see any familiar faces.
Lin Jianxia suddenly felt a little flustered.
She has never liked crowded places.
When she was little, she got separated from her mother and stood alone in the middle of the street, surrounded by unfamiliar figures and voices.
Although her mother eventually found her while crying, the feeling of helplessness of being submerged in the crowd remained etched in her heart.
So whenever she is in a crowd, she always feels insecure.
I guess... I guess I went shopping somewhere again, I'll be back soon.
She tried to comfort herself with this thought, but Lin Jianxia's heart was beating faster and faster, and her eyes were filled with anxiety.
My heart was pounding, and I was about to take a step to find out what was going on.
A familiar voice appeared beside my ear.
Lin Jianxia was startled and turned her head away.
Jiang Yubai was holding two glasses of watermelon juice, looking at her with some curiosity.
Seeing her turn around, he naturally took a skewer of squid and handed her a glass of watermelon juice: "Here, this is for you."
Lin Jianxia subconsciously took it, and then heard Jiang Yubai say, "Hey, there are a lot of people today, so stay close, otherwise it'll be hard to explain to your sister if you get lost."
"If all else fails, just grab the hem of my shirt—of course, I wouldn't mind holding hands either."
"Who wants to hold your hand!"
Lin Jianxia subconsciously retorted.
As she said that, her hand unconsciously gripped the hem of his clothes.
Jiang Yubai was also stunned for a moment, seemingly not expecting her to actually grab the hem of her clothes so obediently.
But soon, he smiled and let her lead him forward.
"Okay, let's go!"
Lin Jianxia held a watermelon juice in one hand and tugged at Jiang Yubai's clothes with the other, quietly following behind him, watching him react with surprise and delight at the various snacks.
She walked and walked, glancing at the lively shouts of the street vendors, and then at the broad back of the figure in front of her.
The streets were still crowded with people, who bustled past her.
But in her heart, it seemed...
I'm not afraid at all anymore.
