Chapter 298 Unkind Invitation
Chapter 298 Unkind Invitation
After hearing Lin Yu's words, Xia Yang remained vigilant.
"You're my sister's boyfriend...ex-boyfriend?"
"Then I shouldn't be unable to find any trace of you."
Although Xia Yang remained vigilant, Lin Yu relaxed a lot.
Her asking this just showed that she had taken the bait.
Although very smart...
But still too young.
He explained in a low voice: "It's precisely because he's my ex-boyfriend that I can't find any trace."
"We broke up, and it wasn't a particularly pleasant one."
As Lin Yu spoke, his expression showed some restrained sadness, but there was an unconcealable melancholy in his eyes - as if he really had an ex-girlfriend who he loved very much and had died.
"I thought I would have a chance to make it up to her in the future...but, but..."
Xia Yang pursed his lips.
The little girl believed most of it.
After all, Lin Yu's acting skills are really great.
She hesitated for a moment and said again: "I didn't even know my sister had ever been in love."
"I have had very little contact with her in the past few years."
Xia Yang whispered, his voice a little low.
Of course there is less contact!
Although Lin Yu's lie was a hasty emergency response, it was not completely unthought-of.
Xia Yue's life trajectory in the past few years has been to work in a pet shop on the one hand and continue her university studies on the other.
Her colleagues at the pet hospital have a high opinion of her, and judging by her profile, she seems to be doing well academically.
and so……
How could Xia Yue have time to spend a long time with her family!
In the eyes of her family, there must be large gaps in Xia Yue's experience in recent years.
And under such circumstances, Xia Yue would probably rarely talk about her life with her family, especially her sister.
Lin Yu was very clear about this.
because……
He also has a sister who is much older than him.
This gives Lin Yu ample room to maneuver.
"Maybe it's because I haven't gotten her approval yet," Lin Yu sighed softly, "I'm sorry, Xia Yang."
Lin Yu's sincere apology made Xia Yang completely let down his guard.
She slowly sat down on the chair at the dining table.
"It's okay... I'm the one who should apologize for doubting you."
"No, I didn't explain myself clearly," Lin Yu waved his hand. "Go back to your room and rest... I'll make you some pear soup."
"You were already feeling unwell. If I didn't let you rest well because of me, I would be really sorry to your sister."
As Lin Yu spoke, Xia Yang hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly.
"Okay...but don't bother with the pear soup. Please sit for a while. My mother will be home soon."
As he spoke, Xia Yang slowly walked back to the house.
Lin Yu went to the kitchen and worked for a while. After cutting the pears and turning on the fire, he walked out of the kitchen.
The kitchen fire must be kept open, so Lin Yu left Hannah there.
After all, this little octopus is a professional, and the pear soup she makes might be even tastier and more effective.
There are only two bedrooms in Xia Yue's house.
Xia Yang just walked into the spacious master bedroom.
and so……
Lin Yu has reason to speculate...
"Two sisters share one bedroom, and mom lives in the second bedroom?"
He thought about it, then picked up one of the paper bags he had brought and gently pushed open the half-open door of the master bedroom.
Xia Yang, who was lying on the bed and still looking at his exercise book, heard the sound of the door being pushed open and turned around.
"What's wrong."
As she spoke, Lin Yu shook the paper bag in his hand.
"I bought you a gift, but I forgot to give it to you just now."
Xia Yang was a little flattered and wanted to stand up, but was stopped by Lin Yu.
"Just lie down."
Lin Yu said this, moving a stool and sitting beside Xia Yang's bed.
He looked around the room calmly, and sure enough, there were two single beds and two desks in the room.
Xia Yang sits by the window, Xia Yue sits by the door.
There was a simple curtain between the sisters' beds.
Now the curtain has been tied up, and Xia Yue's side is neatly tidied.
Lin Yu slowly took out the gift he had prepared from the paper bag.
A new mobile phone.
When Xia Yang saw the cell phone box, he sat up on the spot.
"No, this is too valuable. Take your phone back."
Lin Yu insisted on putting the cell phone box on her bedside.
"You don't have a cell phone, do you?"
Xia Yang said, "No, but this thing...it's not good for children to use. It will affect their studies."
As she spoke, Lin Yu laughed.
"The fact that you can say something like that proves that you are not a child who can be influenced."
Xia Yang was still stubborn: "It's still too expensive. No, no, my mother won't agree."
"I'll convince Auntie."
As Lin Yu was speaking, Xia Yang hurriedly said, "If my sister were here, she wouldn't let me take it!"
"But your sister is gone."
Lin Yu interrupted her, his voice choked.
"I...I can't make it up to her. I don't have the chance anymore."
Xia Yang looked at Lin Yu, whose eyes turned red in an instant, and was stunned for a moment, then his heart softened.
Her tone softened.
"I understand. I'll take it."
Xia Yang picked up the phone and opened the box.
"When I get into college, I'll work and pay you back... Don't refuse this."
The little girl said softly, and Lin Yu nodded.
"Then I expect you to go to college and make a lot of money."
Lin Yu laughed: "Okay, come on."
He said, then continued: "I'll go check on the pear soup, it should be ready soon."
Lin Yu stood up and used the [Mind-Seeing Mirror] to take a look at the little girl's emotions.
Trust, touching, sad, regret...
well.
When Lin Yu stood up and was about to leave the room, Xia Yang called him.
"Wait a minute, Brother Lin."
Lin Yu turned around and looked at the girl who was half-sitting on the bed, covered with a quilt.
She hesitated for a moment, then finally spoke.
"Brother Lin, I didn't mean to doubt you just now."
"I know, you're just too sad..."
Lin Yu was speaking, but was interrupted by Xia Yang.
"No, I mean, there's something fishy about my sister's death," she pointed to her head. "Why did she die so suddenly and unexpectedly? And the way she died was so coincidental... Although I really want to believe the police's conclusion, I still feel like something is wrong."
"My sister shouldn't have died so absurdly and simply."
Lin Yu listened to the little girl's words and originally wanted to tell her, "The dead cannot be resurrected, so don't think too much."
But in the end, Lin Yu swallowed the words back and replaced them with another one.
"I see."
"I'll try to look into it."
After saying that, he walked to the kitchen, scooped out a bowl of pear soup, let it cool down a little, and then handed it to Xia Yang.
"Okay, it's getting late. I probably won't be able to wait for Auntie to come back, so I'll leave first."
"This is my cell phone number, save it for me." Lin Yu picked up Xia Yang's pen and paper from the desk and left a phone number. "Just call me if you have anything."
After saying that, Lin Yu looked at Xia Yang.
"By the way... I have a request. Can I take a look at Xia Yue's phone?"
