Chapter 349 Obedient and Clingy Younger Brother (60)
"No...nothing, what's wrong?" Lu Liruan coughed lightly, casually tossing out a question.
She's quite a bit older than Jin Shuhe, so naturally... she must be more composed!
If he remembers last night, he'll definitely slip up.
Lu Liruan's mind made a sudden turn, almost drifting on a nerve bend.
Then she heard a soft breath on the other end of the phone: "Oh, that's good. I thought I was acting crazy because I was drunk."
Lu Liruan: ?
You really don't remember?
"Haha, when did you start forgetting?" Lu Liruan chuckled twice and pressed for an answer.
"I just remember the vice-captain and Brother Wen taking me home, and then... and then I can't remember anything else." Jin Shuhe heard that Sister Li Ruan's voice was no different from usual, and his heart was relieved a little.
Although the feeling of loss, as if he had forgotten something very important, still lingered, Jin Shuhe really hadn't expected that so many things would happen during the short time he blacked out last night!
"Ah."
"You really didn't cause any trouble for Sister Li Ruan, did you?" Jin Shuhe asked cautiously, confirming again.
“How could I not have caused you any trouble? You didn’t have any strength at all, I had to carry you to bed like an old ox!” Lu Liruan’s voice became lively.
This morning around 5 a.m., she suddenly opened her eyes without warning, lay flat on the bed, and stared straight at the ceiling.
be terribly upset.
How should I face Jin Shuhe?
What happened last night was truly impulsive. Even though Lu Liruan didn't regret it, she still felt embarrassed at the moment. She wasn't good at dealing with changes in relationships.
Especially... how did things suddenly change between her and Jin Shuhe?
So she practically fled in panic.
She tiptoed when she went out, afraid that Jin Shuhe would catch her before she left the house.
Unexpectedly, Jin Shuhe didn't remember! Lu Liruan felt her muscles go completely relaxed in that instant…
In her relationship with Jin Shuhe, Lu Liruan always took the lead and held the power.
So when Lu Liruan heard Jin Shuhe say he was afraid of her yesterday, she was surprised for a moment, but then she felt that she could understand the child's thoughts.
The reason why Lu Liruan is so uneasy today is largely due to the fact that she is slowly losing control.
But after hearing Jin Shuhe's phone call, that feeling returned to her heart, making her feel at ease all of a sudden.
Normally, Jin Shuhe wouldn't believe what others say so easily.
But when it comes to Sister Li Ruan, he always subconsciously listens to her and trusts her wholeheartedly.
Plus……
The author of this article is:
Jin Shuhe couldn't even remember the photos he had taken.
He doesn't remember anything that happened at the restaurant, and he doesn't remember anything that happened after he got home, which is quite reasonable and logical.
Therefore, even though he had a strange feeling in his heart, Jin Shuhe did not force himself to recall it.
Instead, she sent the photos from her phone to Lu Liruan.
"Sister Li Ruan, I've been bullied."
Lu Liruan opened the photo and her eyes immediately crinkled with laughter.
I don't know who was so mean, not only did they take a picture, but they also made everyone stand next to them for a group photo.
Jin Shuhe closed his eyes, was supported by the person next to him, and even made a salute gesture, which looked particularly funny.
As Lu Liruan smiled, she reached out and zoomed in on the photo, focusing on Jin Shuhe.
At his age, he always looks young; he's handsome when his eyes are open and has a touch of childishness when they're closed.
His fair cheeks had a faint blush, and his lips were a vibrant color. Among the several grinning, tough men around him, he still appeared somewhat thin.
Yesterday, after Lu Liruan helped him back to his room, she sat beside him and watched him for a while.
I was so flustered at the time that I just covered him with the blanket. Now that I think about it... I should have touched his face.
It looks really nice to touch.
Lu Liruan touched his face in the photo with her fingertip.
cute.
"It's okay, you look good and cute even when you're drunk."
Lu Liruan honestly typed a message to him.
"I won't drink it next time."
"Ok?"
"How embarrassing."
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
"What are you having for dinner, Sister Li Ruan? I'll go buy the groceries later and then come to the store to find you." Jin Shuhe rubbed his temples.
"Buy whatever you want to eat, I'll cook you a big meal tonight! Don't come looking for me, there's not much work at the shop today, you finally have a day off, just relax at home~"
Although Jin Shuhe had forgotten what had happened, his keen intuition had not disappeared.
I don't know why, but I always feel that when Sister Li Ruan looks at me, there is a hint of amusement and thoughtfulness in her eyes.
Lu Liruan is indeed like that.
Lu Liruan had been thinking that he might remember it someday.
From initial helplessness, he gradually transitioned to thinking that it would be very interesting if he remembered it someday.
Whenever she saw his obedient appearance, Lu Liruan would sometimes feel a mischievous urge.
But Jin Shuhe seemed to have completely forgotten.
In Jin Shuhe's heart, although Sister Li Ruan was unaware of his feelings, he had already made many preparations for this relationship.
Jin Shuhe is a very grateful child. Ever since he met Ms. Qin and Mr. Lu, he has maintained the habit of frequently greeting them.
After he started earning money, he would occasionally buy some useful items and mail them to him.
For example, last year when Ms. Qin bought a new chess set for Mr. Lu, she mentioned that she had more gray hair, and he remembered that and bought her black sesame powder.
Ms. Qin was overjoyed when she received it.
The couple is not short of money, but their children's thoughtfulness and care are what make them happy.
"What a wonderful child..." Ms. Qin exclaimed, "He has a good temper, is thoughtful, caring, and has no ill intentions whatsoever. He's just so lovable!"
Mr. Lu nodded: "I think the good thing about this child is that no matter what the circumstances, he doesn't blame others. Even adults would find it hard to do that, let alone him."
They were very satisfied with Jin Shuhe, both as a son-in-law and as a son-in-law.
Jin Shuhe genuinely cared about them and was also grateful.
They knew their feelings for Sister Li Ruan, but they didn't feel they should be, and... they didn't stop themselves.
Jin Shuhe had made all the preparations he could think of; the only thing missing was to tell Lu Liruan.
Lu Liruan hadn't noticed so many things before, but once her mindset shifted, she subconsciously noticed them more clearly.
Lu Liruan almost couldn't help but laugh several times.
It turns out that he told me a story about how you must make thorough preparations before arresting a suspect.
Only after meticulously deploying defenses around the area and ensuring absolute security can an arrest be carried out, minimizing the possibility of the suspect escaping.
Looking at him now...
Lu Liruan thought to herself: You really are quick-witted and can apply what you've learned. You're also very proactive!
"Mom said that she likes the sesame powder you bought very much, and she told me to learn from you and be more filial so as not to make her angry."
Lu Liruan sat comfortably on the sofa, hugging a cushion: "You've forced me to get all worked up about filial piety now."
Jin Shuhe blinked: "Sister Li Ruan, I am..."
"I was just kidding you. Why do you believe everything?"
“I believe everything Sister Li Ruan says.”
He lowered his eyes and secretly glanced at Lu Liruan out of the corner of his eye. After being caught red-handed, that inexplicable feeling that he had forgotten something came back to him!
During this time, Ms. Qin also called Lu Liruan and said, "Look at Xiaohe, she's good in every way. Don't think that just because she's young she's unreliable. You're older than her, do you think you're reliable?"
Lu Liruan: ...Why did you still choose me?
Ms. Qin's words were practically slapping Lu Liruan in the face; if Lu Liruan still couldn't understand them now, she'd be a fool.
That day, Lu Liruan, contrary to her usual self, thought about it seriously and said, "What you said makes sense..."
"What?"
"Yes, that's true. Younger ones are great too; they're cute, well-behaved, and lovable."
Ms. Qin: ...
What my daughter is saying sounds a lot like how some older men are willing to date younger girls.
But he is indeed young.
Ms. Qin felt something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
He hesitated for a moment: "You..."
"What's wrong?"
The more Ms. Qin listened to her daughter's comments over the phone, the more she felt that her daughter was irresponsible and unreliable: "Don't mess with people! Be more down-to-earth! You can't do anything immoral! You have to be serious about relationships! You can't bully people!"
Having been scolded for no reason, Lu Liruan couldn't even eat the strawberries she was holding.
What's wrong?
You can't disagree, and you can't agree...
It's so hard to have a conversation!
"Mom, you..."
"Lu Liruan! Get your attitude straight!" Ms. Qin said loudly and solemnly.
Whose side are you on anyway?
I haven't even done anything with the younger ones yet, and you're already siding with outsiders! Next time I'll buy you sesame powder too, okay?
Lu Liruan pouted at the phone after it was disconnected.
Jin Shuhe, carrying clothes he'd picked up from the dry cleaners, had just entered the house when he saw Sister Li Ruan frowning and muttering to herself on her phone.
"What's wrong?" He put the bag on the sofa, opened it, folded it neatly, and put it into a separate bag to prevent it from getting wrinkled before wearing it.
"Let me help you!" Lu Liruan leaned closer.
"Never mind, Sister Li Ruan, you can have some fruit. I can do it." Jin Shuhe didn't need her to lift a finger.
"So diligent! Where did you hire this little nanny from?" Lu Liruan didn't leave, but sat down next to him with a grin and teased him.
“Sister Li Ruan.” Jin Shuhe said helplessly.
“Yes, that’s right. The nanny needs to get to work now, so don’t cause any trouble.” Jin Shuhe pointed to the corner of her clothes as she sat down: “It’ll get wrinkled in a bit.”
Lu Liruan shifted slightly, her eyes still fixed on him, until Jin Shuhe stopped what he was doing: "Sister Liruan... what exactly are you trying to do?"
"It's nothing. Mom just called me and specifically told me not to bully you. Did you tell her?" Lu Liruan deliberately misinterpreted the situation.
"No." Jin Shuhe shook his head and pursed his lips. "Sister Li Ruan didn't bully me. I... I did it willingly."
They seem easier to bully now.
Lu Liruan didn't know if he was clear about it or not; he couldn't hide anything from himself!
The diligent person folded the clothes, then cleaned the refrigerator and scrubbed the sink.
Then he went into the room, took out a notebook, sat down next to Lu Liruan, and began to do the accounting.
He started keeping accounts when he lived in Lu Liruan's house.
As agreed, he would gradually repay Lu Liruan starting from the time he started earning money.
When he received his first month's salary, he even called Aunt Chun.
As a result, he was scolded by the woman who was now living a comfortable life.
"I'm not short of money! I haven't spent much on you! Keep your money for yourself, I won't be giving you a dowry later!" Aunt Chun said impatiently.
"I……"
"Alright, if you keep nagging, you can forget about acknowledging me as your aunt!" With that, she hung up the phone.
The other party insisted on not taking it, but Jin Shuhe also insisted on giving it to them.
In the end, all I could think of was saving up a similar amount later and then finding a way to give it to her all at once.
Lu Liruan wanted to say no, but she hadn't really taken it to heart when she said it. Over the years, she had gone from treating him like a younger brother to now considering him... family. She really had no intention of asking him to pay her back.
But when she first brought it up, Jin Shuhe firmly rejected her.
“No! Sister Li Ruan, this is a matter of principle. I can’t be someone who takes advantage of you and then goes back on their word…” He looked at Lu Li Ruan: “If I do that, I’ll never be able to hold my head up in front of you.”
If he can't even finish this, what right does he have to say he likes Sister Li Ruan? He has a strange obsession that if he doesn't pay back the money, he will always be that helpless child in front of Sister Li Ruan.
Lu Liruan did not refuse again.
Jin Shuhe looked at the notebook carefully and pressed the keys on the calculator on his phone.
Lu Liruan was too lazy to look and ate potato chips on the side.
Seeing that he was calculating seriously, someone bored went up to him and tried to mess with him.
He waved a potato chip in front of Jin Shuhe's face, and just as Jin Shuhe was about to bite it, he pulled his hand back, teasing him like a cat several times in a row.
They successfully got Jin Shuhe to put down his phone.
Then, when Lu Liruan came up from behind, Jin Shuhe grabbed her!
He used a bit of force, squeezing Lu Liruan's hand and bringing it to his mouth until he slowly ate the potato chips.
Lu Liruan waved her fingers, which were covered in potato chip crumbs, in front of his eyes.
"How many..."
In that instant, Jin Shuhe seemed to suddenly remember something!
As soon as he loosened his grip, Lu Liruan pulled her hand away, and they couldn't reconnect in that fleeting moment.
After transferring this month's money to Lu Liruan with satisfaction, Jin Shuhe breathed a sigh of relief: "Sister Liruan, I'll get a raise in a few years."
So?
Lu Liruan didn't know why he suddenly said that.
Although I don't earn as much as Sister Li Ruan, I can still take good care of you, Jin Shuhe wanted to say this.
Jin Shuhe relaxed for a while, going to work and leaving get off work on time. Except when he was on duty and not at home, Lu Liruan could often keep an eye on him.
Suddenly one day, he became busy again.
It started with a missing persons case, and this year's new missing persons case is linked to a drug overdose death case from last year.
Upon further investigation, they discovered that the water inside was very deep.
The Municipal Public Security Bureau's Major Crimes Division and Narcotics Division are working together and are determined to follow this lead closely.
At first, Jin Shuhe hoped to go home and visit his family, but later... he became hesitant to go back.
