Chapter 571: A brief mention
Chapter 571: A brief mention
Lin Hao walked out of the e-sports room and came to the bathroom door.
He pressed himself against the door, listening to the faint sobbing sounds coming from inside.
He knocked on the door gently. When no one responded, he closed his eyes tightly and turned the doorknob while facing the wall.
There was a "click" sound, and the bathroom was not locked.
He slowly pushed open the door and heard no screaming from inside. Lin Hao breathed a sigh of relief and walked into the bathroom with his eyes closed.
He shook his head from side to side and asked, "Can I open my eyes?"
Seeing that Li Nianqiu didn't respond, he spoke again, "If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your consent!"
After pausing for a few seconds, Lin Hao slowly opened his eyes and closed the bathroom door.
He turned his head to look in the direction where the sobbing sound came from. Li Nianqiu was sitting in the corner of the bathroom with his knees hugged.
Her mood seemed to calm down a little, her round chin rested on her knees, revealing a pair of slightly red eyes.
Lin Hao scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed. He only remembered to chase the girl, but he never comforted the girl?
He imitated Li Nianqiu's actions and sat next to Li Nianqiu with his knees hugged.
He recalled that when he almost cured Mr. Wu to death, and was escaping from reality in the corridor outside the ward, his actions were exactly the same as those of Senior Sister Nian Qiu now.
Recalling how his third sister had comforted him at that time, he leaned closer to Li Nianqiu's position and reached out tentatively to reach Li Nianqiu's hand.
Li Nianqiu was originally sitting on the floor in the corner, and with Lin Hao sticking so close to him, he curled up even more.
She struggled a little bit and then let Lin Hao hold her hands casually.
Lin Hao stroked the lines on Li Nianqiu's palm and could feel a slight hardness at the base of her fingers.
Li Nianqiu seemed to have noticed this as well, and quickly retracted her hand, shyly protecting it against her chest.
Lin Hao turned his head to look at Li Nianqiu, spread his hands to her and asked for her hand.
Li Nianqiu raised his head slightly, looked at Lin Hao with an unquestionable expression, and timidly put his hand on him.
He turned over Li Nianqiu's hand and took a look. There was some slightly white skin at the base of his fingers, which was the sign of the calluses on his hands gradually healing, just as he expected.
Li Nianqiu still turned her head away shyly, but she would secretly glance at Lin Hao from time to time, wanting to know what expression Lin Hao would have.
Lin Hao gently stroked the calluses on Li Nianqiu's hands, with a serious and focused look on his face. He probably knew why Li Nianqiu suddenly burst into tears.
His joke was just a fuse that ignited all of Li Nianqiu's rough past.
If not forced by life, who would want to enter society too early?
Looking at other people's youth, traveling, shopping, and falling in love, it is shining, while my own youth is confined in a small space, bound by part-time jobs.
Not to mention those messy social habits!
Those filthy social conventions are essentially a test of the obedience of the inferiors by the superiors.
It is just a feudal bad habit, but it forces most people to accept it.
Lin Hao raised his head and looked at Li Nianqiu, his eyes showing guilt. "I'm sorry."
"You obviously suffered all those hardships, but I just brushed them aside with a light-hearted joke."
He felt that he had integrated himself too much into the role of the rich second generation. A single meal could cost him tens of thousands of dollars, and he almost forgot the hard days before he traveled through time when he earned three thousand eight hundred yuan a month and risked his life for it.
Li Nianqiu turned around and looked directly into Lin Hao's eyes, tears welling up in his eyes.
She suddenly hugged Lin Hao's neck, put her head on his shoulder, and burst into tears.
At first, I was a little worried that I had affected their mood for dinner.
Wouldn't it make them feel that you are too pretentious if you can't control your emotions because of a joke?
With Lin Hao's apology, all previous worries disappeared in an instant.
Lin Hao's center of gravity was not very stable when he was squatting on the ground. Li Nianqiu pounced on him suddenly and he fell to the ground decisively.
He held Li Nianqiu tightly in his arms, patted Li Nianqiu's back gently, and soothed his emotions.
At this moment, he was extremely grateful that he had traveled through time and space into this novel, otherwise, who knows where Li Nianqiu would be working now.
Although I had the urge to take advantage of Li Nianqiu when I first met him, at least from now on, the result is good.
After a long time, Li Nianqiu's crying gradually subsided, as if she had vented all the grievances of more than ten years.
She suddenly realized that her whole body was pressing on Lin Hao, and their bodies were pressed tightly together.
"I'm sorry!" She apologized, quickly rolled off Lin Hao, hugged her knees and huddled in the corner of the bathroom again.
Recalling the scene of her hugging Lin Hao and crying, her cheeks felt hot. She buried her head in her chest, holding her head with both hands.
She didn't know why she had just done such a thing?
I didn't expect that Lin Hao, who is obviously a rich second-generation, could understand her thoughts so clearly?
Lin Hao looked at Li Nianqiu who was hugging himself like a ball, and guessed that Li Nianqiu's sadness should have been relieved, and now he was just feeling shy.
He reached out and gently held Li Nianqiu's hand that was holding his head, and said with a smile, "Li Xiaoqiu, we should go back!"
Hearing Lin Hao's affectionate name, Li Nianqiu buried his head deeper into the ground, and his whole body couldn't help but tremble.
"You. You go first. Let me wash my face." Li Nianqiu stuttered.
She is now a little afraid to face Lin Hao, and doesn't know how to face Lin Hao.
Lin Hao let go of Li Nianqiu's hand, sat cross-legged on the ground, and looked at the other person quietly with his chin in his hand.
Li Nianqiu did not hear the footsteps of leaving. He slowly raised his head, revealing a pair of watery eyes, and looked out timidly.
However, when she met Lin Hao's slightly ruffian smile, she buried her head in her knees like an ostrich.
Seeing that Lin Hao seemed to have no intention of leaving, she bit her lip lightly, turned her head away and simply didn't look at Lin Hao, then slowly stood up while touching the wall.
She touched the sink and saw the smile on Lin Hao's face through the mirror. She hurriedly lowered her head and washed her face with clean water.
Because she was too excited, the cold water directly splashed across her neck and wet her clothes.
Lin Hao stepped forward, pulled off his towel and handed it to Li Nianqiu.
Li Nianqiu hurriedly wiped his face and the water stains on his chest. He felt as if he had become dull and clumsy by staying next to Lin Hao.
