Chapter 187: A Look at the Dark History
Chapter 187: A Look at the Dark History
Lu Jinyu woke up slowly and stretched himself, feeling a little stiff.
Seeing Shang Yonglin was awake, he asked, "What time is it?"
"Almost four o'clock."
Lu Jinyu was stunned at first, then sat up in a panic and said, "Almost four o'clock?!"
"It's okay to sleep a little longer. It's the weekend anyway."
Even though Shang Yonglin said this, Lu Jinyu still felt something was wrong. After all, this was not her home, nor was it Shang Yonglin's villa.
It would be very rude to leave the owner of the house alone to sleep.
Besides, she slept in the same room with Shang Yonglin. I wonder what his parents would think...
Lu Jinyu quickly got up from the bed, then fixed her hair and clothes in front of the mirror.
Shang Yonglin smiled helplessly, put on his slippers, walked behind her and hugged her.
"I originally invited you to stay here in the hope that you could relax for two days like on vacation, but it seems that it has added pressure on you..."
Lu Jinyu looked at him in the mirror and comforted him, "No, it's just that I really want to leave a good impression on your parents, so I'm a little nervous."
At this point, Lu Jinyu remembered something, so she turned around and said to him, "Come to think of it, you don't care too much."
Shang Yonglin looked at her in confusion.
"I asked you to pick up some food for your mother today. Actually, what I meant was that you should consider your mother's feelings. She was not happy with me to begin with, and seeing you side with me like this, she must be uncomfortable. You are mother and son, and I am just an outsider. Don't let me ruin your relationship."
Shang Yonglin finally understood what she meant, but frowned slightly.
"You are all important people to me, and I don't want to favor one over the other."
"Be flexible. You can side with me at other times, and side with your parents when we are here at the same time."
Shang Yonglin looked at her with a somewhat embarrassed look.
Lu Jinyu smiled and rubbed his face and said, "Don't worry, I won't be wronged. Look, your mother didn't make things difficult for me, did she? She has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. And I'm also very happy that your father likes Mianmian. Everything is fine."
Shang Yonglin looked at her seriously for a while and finally nodded.
But then he noticed that Lu Jinyu was rubbing his face, so he asked curiously: "Why are you rubbing my face?"
"So cute!" Lu Jinyu suddenly smiled brightly.
Shang Yonglin looked at her sparkling eyes and didn't bother with her.
"Okay, let's get out of here."
After rubbing him for a while, Lu Jinyu finally let him go, then opened the door and walked out.
.
She originally wanted to find Mianmian first, but as soon as she went out, she heard the voices of Mianmian and Shang's father coming from downstairs.
Apparently Mianmian had already followed Shang's father downstairs to play, so the two of them went downstairs together.
As soon as I got down, I saw Shang's mother sitting next to them, drinking tea and looking at Shang's father and Mianmian.
"Master, Miss Lu, come and have afternoon tea." Uncle Chang who was standing beside them said to them.
The three men heard the sound and turned to look at them.
Although Lu Jinyu did not do anything with Shang Yonglin, she felt guilty and her face began to get hot unconsciously when she thought that Shang's father and mother might misunderstand what they had done.
Shang Yonglin remained calm at this moment. He greeted his parents and pulled Lu Jinyu to sit on the sofa.
"What do you want to eat?" Shang Yonglin asked.
Lu Jinyu shook her head: "I can't eat yet."
"Then have some tea. This black tea tastes pretty good."
Shang Yonglin poured a glass for Lu Jinyu as he spoke. Lu Jinyu hurriedly thanked him and then poured him a glass as well.
Mr. Shang looked at them both calmly, then at Mrs. Shang.
Shang's mother was seen sitting there holding a teacup. She seemed to be drinking tea and appreciating the scenery outside the window, but in fact she was stealing glances at the two people.
Shang's father thought it was funny, but he didn't expose her. Instead, he said to Shang Yonglin, "Yonglin, Mianmian is much more interesting than when you were a child."
Shang Yonglin was confused, so Lu Jinyu took the opportunity to say to Shang's parents, "Yonglin must have been very cute when he was a child, right?"
"Of course." Shang's mother took over the conversation, "When Yonglin was a child, he had a round head, a chubby face, and very white skin, like a porcelain doll."
When Lu Jinyu heard this, she became interested: "I really want to see it, are there any photos?"
"Yes, follow me."
Having said that, Shang's mother stood up and walked upstairs.
Seeing this, Lu Jinyu first glanced at Shang Yonglin, then stood up and followed him.
.
Shang's mother took Lu Jinyu to Shang's father's study and found several photo albums in one of the bookcases.
"These are all photos of Yonglin when he was a child." Shang's mother handed one of the photos to Lu Jinyu.
She took the album with both hands and opened it. It was a photo of Shang Yonglin when he was in kindergarten.
Just as Shang's mother said, Shang Yonglin was round and chubby at that tiny age, with a meticulously combed hairstyle, like a little adult. He looked a bit like he does now.
The corners of Lu Jinyu's mouth curved up and he couldn't help laughing.
"This is the first time I went to kindergarten." Shang's mother pointed to one of the photos and said, "He was crying before he went, but he became serious when he was asked to take a photo. He has been like this since he was a child."
Lu Jinyu looked at it, smiled and nodded.
"Look, this is a photo of Yonglin when he was in junior high school." Shang's mother handed over another one.
Lu Jinyu took it and looked at it, and couldn't help but sighed: "He was so handsome in junior high school!"
"That's right. A lot of girls have been chasing him since junior high school, but he has never had a girlfriend. We are worried about his sexual orientation."
After hearing this, Lu Jinyu smiled and looked towards the door.
In fact, Shang Yonglin also came, but he stood at the door and didn't come in.
Seeing that the two were chatting happily, even though they were talking about his dark history, this scene was very comforting, so he leaned against the door and watched with a faint smile on his face.
.
After looking through several photo albums, Lu Jinyu had become familiar with Shang's mother - she took the opportunity to chat about many other topics.
Now Shang's mother is not as cold to her as she was at the beginning.
"Dinner will be served soon. You can do whatever you want during this time." Shang's mother said as she collected the photo albums.
"Then you should go and have a rest too, Mom." Shang Yonglin was not polite. He said something to Shang's mother and took Lu Jinyu away.
Originally Shang Yonglin wanted to take her to his bedroom, but Lu Jinyu stopped him and said, "I see there is a garden here, take me to the garden to have a look."
"Okay." Shang Yonglin agreed without hesitation, then took her downstairs.
.
To be honest, this garden is quite large and is consistent with imagination.
Carefully manicured lawns, square, shaped hedges, and flourishing flowers and shrubs.
From time to time, birds and butterflies fly by, and the whole garden looks full of vitality.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but Lu Jinyu feels that the air here is particularly fresh.
"What a beautiful garden!" she praised.
Shang Yonglin looked at her and smiled without saying anything.
After all, he had seen this garden since he was a child, and apart from some new plants, it didn't seem to him to be anything special.
But since Lu Jinyu liked it, he was also happy.
He hugged Lu Jinyu from behind again. Lu Jinyu asked in surprise, "Why are you so clingy to me today? It's so hot when I hug you."
"I just want to hug you." Shang Yonglin said righteously, seeming a little overbearing.
Although Lu Jinyu felt hot, she did not dislike such closeness. On the contrary, she was very happy.
She smiled, turned her head and gave Shang Yonglin a kiss on the face, then leaned comfortably in his arms to enjoy the view of the garden.
Shang's mother was standing upstairs at this time and happened to see this scene.
There is no point in trying to break up a loving couple.
Thinking of this, Shang's mother smiled, sighed, and left the window.
