Chapter 105 The Truth
However, putting all that aside, Cheng Xiuxiu is still quite cute.
Not only is she soft, cute, and adorable, but she also doesn't have the slightest air of a rich girl. She values everyone very much, and when she sees everyone coming to help, she feels bad and personally cooks for everyone.
Even now, seeing Chen Chen and Xiao Nan's mother praising her, she quickly waved her hand and said things like, "Actually, it's just so-so, I put too much salt in." This shows that she has a clear understanding of her own cooking and is not carried away by the praise.
Huh? What? It can't be thrown away?
No, that can be discarded! For a rich woman, cooking skills are just a bonus, not a necessity. Since she already has the ability to take you out to eat delicacies every day, cooking a meal for you is not a daily necessity, but rather a kind of emotional value that comes with a whim.
As for fawning over her? That's just Chen Chen, that bastard, trying to woo her, and that's all he did.
Uh... Chen Chen licked Xiu Xiu's feet, and the little boy licked Chen Chen's feet...
Lin Jianlu hurriedly shook his head.
What is she thinking about?! Why is she imagining such perverted scenes?!
After clearing her mind of all the jumbled thoughts, Lin Jianlu raised her head after a moment of silence.
To this day, she still can't understand why Chen Chen's obsession with Cheng Xiuxiu is so strong, to the point that he acts like a simp.
He is clearly a lesbian who only likes virtual loli characters in the anime/manga/games, so he treats all girls in real life the same and is never biased.
But why did he change when it came to Cheng Xiuxiu?
Is it really because of so-called love? So-called love at first sight?
It's not that I don't believe it, but it feels too surreal, like something that could happen in real life.
She would be more likely to accept that Chen Chen wanted to hook up with a rich woman and spend a lot of money on her.
Lin Jianlu felt that she had become so mercenary that it was beyond description.
But it was precisely because of her mercenary nature that she believed Chen Chen was not the same kind of person as her.
Even though she always saw him rushing to spend money whenever a new gacha banner was released, she couldn't see any obsession with money in him.
If he really wanted to save up money to spend on in-game purchases, he would usually be very stingy, unwilling to spend money on this or that, and always making others pay for everything.
But that's not actually the case.
Not to mention the extra tables, chairs, posters, and even projectors he paid out of his own pocket for the anime club, he also contributed the lion's share to every dinner party.
He is very generous to others, which is why he always lends her money.
And they eventually paid it all back.
So this guy isn't someone who values money that much. His reason for wanting to be with a rich woman seems reasonable at first glance, but upon closer inspection, she feels it doesn't hold water.
So, what exactly is the reason?
Although Lin Jianlu was aware of the problem, he had no interest in investigating it further.
Let's set aside for now the ambiguous attitude that Cheng Xiuxiu had been displaying towards Chen Chen's pursuit, which she had always sensed.
Now that she has experienced a complete failure, she has developed a kind of indescribable PTSD towards detective work.
If she could find out the reason, that would be fine. But if she couldn't help but make wild guesses before fully understanding the situation, and then triumphantly told Cheng Xiuxiu or Chen Chen, and was exposed, she would be so ashamed that she would want to jump into the river!
So, let's leave it at that. Let's not worry about saving people, let's not care about so-called cyberbullying, let's not think about the relationship between Akashi Mio and Xie Linyu, and let's not worry about how Chen Chen will face the overwhelming rumors... This is not my business at all, so why should I be more anxious than the emperor and worry about so many other people's problems?
Yes, that's fine. Anyway, the reward for this mission isn't money, but a superpower that looks pretty weird, so let's just ignore it...
After finishing the last bite of rice in her bowl, Lin Jianlu refused Cheng Xiuxiu's offer to add more. She tilted her head back, slumped into a chair, and made up her mind.
……
We have work to do this afternoon!
Because some rooms were messy and cluttered with miscellaneous items, they needed to be tidied up in the afternoon, so Lin Jianlu and Chen Chen had to sleep in the same room.
Although there were some incidents, such as the little boy's mother insisting on sleeping with the vice president, but Yan Yiyan lifting his skirt to reveal his flat crotch, so he had to cover his face and cry with the girls, the afternoon was generally peaceful.
Being in a quiet villa area, lying in bed, you can't hear anything except birdsong. It's so peaceful, much more comfortable than taking a nap at school.
Unfortunately, Lin Jianlu never falls asleep during her afternoon nap, or rather, she simply doesn't have the habit of taking a nap.
So, lying on the upper bunk of a bunk bed, listening to the faint breathing of Chen Chen sleeping on the lower bunk, Lin Jianlu, who had been looking at her phone for a while, couldn't help but stretch and turn to look at the slightly messy room.
Actually, this room was also a storage room, but it seemed to be cleaned frequently, so apart from some messy boxes piled up in the corner and the large bunk bed they were lying on, there wasn't much else.
The slightly outdated luxury air conditioner was on, blowing out a cool breeze. Lin Jianlu wrapped the blanket around herself and smelled a faint aromatherapy scent.
It was all newly changed, and not just the blankets on my body, but the whole set on the bed.
Cheng Xiuxiu is such a thoughtful and warm-hearted girl...
Just then, the door lock suddenly turned.
Lin Jianlu hurriedly got up. At first, she thought it was that little boy who was coming to pledge his loyalty to her vice president.
But when she looked up, she realized that wasn't the case.
It was Cheng Xiuxiu. She was wearing a white nightgown and a pair of tiny bunny sandals. Her hair was casually draped over her shoulders. She leaned against the door, cautiously peering into the room, looking both cute and languid.
"show……"
"Shh-"
Cheng Xiuxiu quickly gestured for Lin Baolong to be quiet.
Then, she tiptoed into the room, bent down slightly beside Chen Chen, and saw that he was still fast asleep, a gentle smile appeared on her lovely face.
"Let him sleep a little longer," she whispered with a smile.
Then, she looked up and explained to Lin Jianlu, who was on the upper bunk:
"You're going to throw away a lot of things here later. I'll take some of the things you need to keep first, so it'll be easier for you to throw away the rest."
It turned out to be the case.
"Oh, okay..."
Lin Jianlu nodded.
So Cheng Xiuxiu approached the clutter and squatted down to tidy it up.
Her movements were very gentle, as if she was afraid of waking Chen Chen, who was fast asleep.
Lin Jianlu saw her take some small dolls and hair clips from those boxes. The items looked old and cheap, and didn't match her current gentle and beautiful temperament at all.
Perhaps Xiuxiu is a sentimental person, and she is reluctant to throw away all her old belongings.
"Huh?"
Suddenly a cry of surprise rang out. Lin Jianlu hurriedly looked down at Chen Chen, who was still asleep with his eyes closed, like an innocent child.
Immediately, she looked up and saw that Cheng Xiuxiu had also looked up from Chen Chen and was looking at her.
They couldn't help but exchange a smile.
"It's okay, it's okay...you can go back to sleep..." Cheng Xiuxiu explained softly, "I just suddenly found my old hospital admission slip..."
"Oh..." Lin Jianlu turned around and lay down.
Seeing this, Cheng Xiuxiu took the slightly yellowed paper, turned around and glanced at it, then laughed as if relieved, shook her head, and sighed in a barely audible voice:
"There's nothing much to commemorate..."
Then, she carefully folded the paper and threw it into the trash can.
……
A short while later, Cheng Xiuxiu finished tidying up the miscellaneous items she needed to keep and tiptoed away.
Lin Jianlu suddenly stood up.
The illness Cheng Xiuxiu suffered from that day made her very concerned.
What kind of serious illness could have prevented her from attending school so often as a child? Could it be that severe?
She tiptoed down from the upper bunk and saw that Chen Chen was still fast asleep, so she couldn't help but chuckle softly.
Chen Chen, I'm thinking about your future. If you end up with Cheng Xiuxiu and then find out she's sickly, that would be terrible.
Thinking this, she took out a piece of paper from the trash can and slowly unfolded it.
The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University...
I'm hospitalized in Zhengzhou. I heard this hospital is huge, supposedly the largest in Asia.
Lin Jianlu looked down again.
Then, her eyes widened.
In that instant, the questions that had been lingering in her mind, those that had always been isolated like a fog, were dramatically connected as if the clouds had parted and the sun had shone through.
Why did that idiot develop an uncontrollable protective instinct towards that cute girl from the very first moment they met?
Why did this girl reject all the romantic advances offered to her from the very beginning?
Why is it that, even after rejecting everyone else, this girl still remains ambiguous about the pursuit of that fool?
Why is it that this girl, who is usually a soft-spoken and gentle girl, is so serious about protecting that idiot?
Why, even after suffering so much gossip, harassment, and cyberbullying, does that idiot still act as if he doesn't care at all, as if it doesn't exist?
And most importantly—
Her deduction was correct; Xie Linyu's attempt to claim credit did indeed happen naturally under the influence of that fool's kindness.
She only got one thing wrong, and that's who benefited the most from this situation—
Who exactly is Xie Linyu's daughter, whose life was saved by some big idiot?
In the patient's name section, these three words are clearly written:
【Ming Xiuxiu】
