Chapter 268: Feelings
They chatted for a while about demobilization work. Just as they were talking excitedly, they heard the door open, followed by Lin Yuhang's voice.
"Mom, is there anything to eat? I'm starving! Help me get something to eat."
Lin Yuhang walked in carrying his bag, and the voice arrived before he could see him.
Rowling, who was speaking, was stunned at first, then stood up subconsciously and looked towards the door with a complicated expression.
After changing his shoes, Lin Yuhang closed the door and went into the house. He turned around and looked up and suddenly saw Rowling. Rowling was standing there, looking at him with eagerness, deep love, and excitement in her eyes.
“You…you’re back…?”
The two seemed to have discussed it beforehand and asked the same question in unison. Then they suddenly realized what was happening and smiled awkwardly.
Looking at Lin Yuhang in front of her, Rowling's eyes fell on his hands and eyes. She couldn't help but take a few steps forward, took Lin Yuhang's hand and took off his gloves.
"Are you all healed?"
"It's all right. It's fine now."
"Even if you get better, you still have to be careful and remember what the doctor said."
"Well, I know... When did you come back?" Lin Yuhang, who was usually impetuous, was now a little more gentle and asked Rowling softly.
"I just got back yesterday..."
"Why are you coming back this time...?"
"Like you, I have been demobilized and will not leave anymore." Rowling replied with a smile.
"Demobilization... Demobilization is good. Have you decided on a job here?"
"Everything has been arranged. The song and dance troupe will report after the New Year."
"The dance troupe is good, haha... good..."
Looking at the two young men and listening to their slightly awkward conversation, Song Yuanchao, Lin Yan and Chen Yuqin on the side couldn't help but laugh.
"This silly son!" Chen Yuqin cursed in her heart. How could her second son chat with her girlfriend like this? If she didn't know their relationship, she would have thought he was talking to a factory employee.
Seeing them like this, Chen Yuqin hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Second son, why are you still standing there like an idiot? Linlin has been waiting for you for a while. You sit with Linlin first. I'll go cook dumplings for you... By the way, Linlin, have you eaten before? Auntie will cook some for you, too."
"No need, Auntie. I've eaten." Luo Lin's face turned red all of a sudden. Only then did she realize how awkward the conversation between her and Lin Yuhang just now was.
Song Yuanchao and Lin Yan hurried to help greet them, and after they sat down and chatted for a few words, Lin Yuhang and Luo Lin finally lost their initial restraint.
The dumplings were ready soon. Lin Yuhang apologized to Luo Lin and got up. He went to the factory early in the morning. The factory was closed for holiday today, but as the factory director, Lin Yuhang was still a little worried.
There would be personnel on duty in the factory for the next few days. As the factory director, he had to go and check on the situation in the factory, especially with firecrackers and fireworks being set off during the New Year. He was afraid that a negligence would cause a fire, so fire prevention and theft prevention work had to be done solidly. Lin Yuhang stayed in the factory for a long time, inspected it several times, and then gave instructions to the personnel on duty before returning home.
After most of the day, Lin Yuhang only ate a bun when he went out. He hadn't eaten anything until now and was already starving. When the dumplings were served, Lin Yuhang walked to the table, picked up the chopsticks and started eating. In the blink of an eye, the whole plate of dumplings was eaten up.
"Don't eat so fast in the future. It's bad for your stomach." After watching Lin Yuhang finish eating, Luo Lin handed him a towel to wipe his mouth and whispered a word.
"It's a habit I developed in the army, but I will pay attention to it in the future." Lin Yuhang took the towel and nodded with a smile. Seeing Rowling's concerned look, Lin Yuhang felt warm in his heart.
Luo Lin didn't stay at the Lin family for long. After all, today was New Year's Eve. According to tradition, New Year's Eve was also the reunion night, and the New Year's Eve dinner had to be eaten at home. Luo Lin had just returned, so she definitely couldn't stay at the Lin family for the dinner. Even if Chen Yuqin wanted to, she couldn't bring herself to do so.
At about 3:00 p.m., Luo Lin stood up to say goodbye, saying that she would come back to see Uncle Lin and Aunt Chen after she was done with her work. Chen Yuqin, smiling from ear to ear, nodded repeatedly and said yes, while winking at the silly Lin Yuhang beside her, asking him to take Luo Lin back.
Lin Yuhang wasn't really stupid, it was just that he had never experienced such a thing. And he had very complicated thoughts about Rowling.
Firstly, Lin Yuhang was very clear about Luo Lin's feelings for him. This little sister who had always followed him around when she was little had finally grown up and secretly fallen in love with him. If their relationship could be successful, the two families who knew each other well would become one, which would be a good thing for both the Lin and Luo families. Moreover, Lin Yuhang and Luo Lin were childhood sweethearts and already had a foundation of affection.
But secondly, Lin Yuhang didn't dare to take this step in his heart, because he knew that he was no longer the same person as before. If it was in the past, Lin Yuhang might choose to be with Luo Lin, but now Lin Yuhang, who was injured in the battlefield, is a retired disabled soldier, blind in one eye, and his right hand is almost disabled.
If such a disabled person accepts Luo Lin, wouldn't he be harming her? Lin Yuhang has pride in his heart, but also has low self-esteem, which is why he avoids talking about Luo Lin every time Chen Yuqin mentions him since he came back.
But today, when Rowling appeared in front of him, Lin Yuhang discovered that his feelings for Rowling were so sincere in his heart. This conflicting reason and emotion made Lin Yuhang not know how to choose for a while.
After answering and putting on his coat, Lin Yuhang sent Luo Lin out. When leaving, Chen Yuqin also reminded him that there was snow outside and that he must send Luo Lin home safely. Chen Yuqin also had good intentions, using this simple way to create more opportunities for Lin Yuhang and Luo Lin to spend time together. After they left, the smile on Chen Yuqin's face gradually faded, replaced by a touch of sadness.
"What do you think, can your second brother and Linlin succeed? Why do I feel so unsure?" Sitting on the sofa, Chen Yuqin asked Song Yuanchao and Lin Yan with a lot on her mind.
Song Yuanchao and Lin Yan looked at each other, and Song Yuanchao smiled and said, "Don't worry about this. I think it will work!"
"Really? Yuan Chao, tell me why it worked?" Chen Yuqin was suddenly delighted and asked hurriedly, adding, "You don't know, I have been supporting your second brother these days, but this brat always changes the subject whenever Linlin is mentioned. It really irritates me to death."
"Aunt, didn't you see the look on second brother and Luo Lin's face just now? Although they didn't say it, they had each other in their hearts. As for what you said about deliberately changing the subject, I think second brother himself didn't want to delay Luo Lin. After all..." Having said this, Song Yuanchao didn't continue speaking, but Chen Yuqin and Lin Yan understood the meaning of his words.
"This kid is just a stubborn one!" Chen Yuqin sighed and shook her head.
"Mom, I think my second brother is having a hard time getting over it, but don't worry, Yuan Chao is right. As long as he gets over it, everything will fall into place. Besides, if he can't get over it himself, we can help him, don't you think?"
"Yan Zi is right. I think this can work. Besides, isn't there an old saying? When a man chases a woman, it's easy to get her to fall in love with him; when a woman chases a man, it's easy to get her to fall in love with him. Now that Rowling is back, we should try our best to create opportunities for them in the future. Second brother is a sentimental person. Won't it work out naturally over time?" Song Yuanchao interrupted and reminded.
Chen Yuqin thought about it and smiled. She slapped her thigh and nodded, "Right! That's right. Oh, by the way, tomorrow... No! On the second day of the Chinese New Year, my old man and I will go to the Luo family to pay New Year's greetings and discuss this matter with the old Luo couple. Linlin is a good girl, and I'm determined to make her my wife. No matter what, I have to make this brat agree to this marriage!"
“Domineering!”
Looking at Chen Yuqin's decisive attitude, Song Yuanchao couldn't help but praise her in his heart.
But no matter what, whether it is Chen Yuqin, Song Yuanchao or Lin Yan, they all think that Luo Lin is the best choice for Lin Yuhang. If their relationship can be successful, it will be a good thing and a happy event.
It took Lin Yuhang more than an hour to send Luo Lin home . No one knew what they talked about on the way. After returning home, Lin Yuhang seemed to be no different, but Song Yuanchao saw a different expression in his eyes, and his face was slightly flushed.
It seems that something must . It is inconvenient to ask what it was, but it should be a good thing.
Luo Lin is a woman who dares to love and hate, otherwise she would not have taken care of Lin Yuhang in the hospital for so many days. You have to know that Luo Lin is an unmarried girl. An unmarried girl takes care of Lin Yuhang regardless of other people's strange eyes, which is enough to show Luo Lin's deep feelings and determination for Lin Yuhang.
From this point of view, Song Yuanchao is not worried about what happens between Lin Yuhang and Luo Lin. Maybe their relationship will be a little bumpy, but in the end they will be able to go all the way to the end.
Lin Daoyuan and Chen Yuqin guessed correctly. He was busy at the company and did not return home until dark.
Fortunately, he came back not too late. The house was already filled with a table full of sumptuous dishes, and everyone was waiting for him to have the New Year's Eve dinner.
Seeing that all his children were there, although the eldest son Lin Jianhang had not yet returned home, there was one more person, Song Yuanchao, who would soon be his son-in-law. Lin Daoyuan was unusually happy today. He specially found a bottle of good wine that he had collected for many years from the study, opened it, and went to the table with a smile and asked Lin Yan to fill everyone's glasses.
After pouring the wine and raising the glass, Lin Daoyuan, as the head of the family, spoke first. The content of his words was nothing more than wishing everyone a better year in study, career, or family. He hoped that everyone would be better than the previous year.
Then everyone toasted together, and after drinking the glass of wine, Song Yuanchao stood up and filled the glass with wine, and toasted the two elderly people individually, wishing them good health. Lin Daoyuan and his wife accepted such blessings with a smile, and then asked everyone to drink another glass together. When the second glass of wine was finished, bursts of lively firecrackers suddenly came from outside the window. Amid the bursts of firecrackers, the old was bid farewell to and the new was ushered in. Another New Year was about to come.
