Return To The Past: I Won't Choose Humility This Time!

976 Give Me Some Time

“But, Xixi, you didn’t even tell uncle and auntie that you’re staying over. They’ll be worried.”

“Don’t worry. My parents will understand if I’m with you.”

“But…” Zhou Lin was still hesitating.

“No buts. Are you afraid that I’ll take advantage of you? Just let me stay, Zhou Lin,” Yun Xi said coyly.

Looking at Yun Xi, who was starting to act shamelessly, Zhou Lin knew that he only had one choice left.

In the end, Zhou Lin still compromised and helplessly nodded his head. Yun Xi looked at Zhou Lin and revealed a proud smile.

“Xixi, are you hungry? I’ll go cook for you!” Zhou Lin asked.

If Zhou Lin had not asked, Yun Xi really would not have realized that dinner time had passed. When Zhou Lin said this, he immediately felt hungry.

Yun Xi looked at Zhou Lin and nodded in embarrassment. Zhou Lin smiled gently at Yun Xi, then walked into the kitchen and started to prepare dinner.

Yun Xi sat on the sofa and recalled everything that had just happened. Other than being surprised, she felt more heartache and worry for Zhou Lin. What kind of past did he have? Did he love or hate his mother? Did he have regrets? In reality, Yun Xi did not know about this, and Zhou Lin did not tell her.

“Why don’t I ask the space?” Yun Xi muttered to herself.

Just as Yun Xi was about to summon the space, another thought in her mind stopped her.

“If I knew about it in advance, wouldn’t it be meaningless to wait until Zhou Lin is ready to tell me? I said I would give him time to prepare.”

The next second, Yun Xi gave up on the idea of summoning the space. She looked in the direction of the kitchen and saw Zhou Lin’s busy back. She could not help but feel a lot more at ease.

Yun Xi got up and walked towards the kitchen. She hugged Zhou Lin, who was cooking, from behind and slowly leaned her head on Zhou Lin’s back.

Zhou Lin smiled and then said, “What’s wrong, Xixi?”

“It’s fine, Zhou Lin. I just want to hug you. I want to hug you like this forever.”

Zhou Lin did not know whether to laugh or cry.

“I can’t even cook if you’re like this. If you don’t let go, someone is going to go hungry!” Zhou Lin said in a pampering tone.

“I’ll be with you, Zhou Lin.” With that, Yun Xi let go of Zhou Lin’s arms and scuttled to the front of Zhou Lin from behind.

“You’re only distracting me by staying here. You’d better get out! Just wait to eat.”

Yun Xi walked out of the kitchen unwillingly, putting on a wronged expression.

Zhou Lin smiled helplessly and watched her walk out of the kitchen before he continued to focus on cooking.

In the hospital, Zhou Mo and Lin Yu stayed by the Old Master’s side. After a tiring day, the two of them were famished.

Lin Yu looked at Zhou Mo’s exhausted face and felt both heartache and surprise. She really didn’t expect the young master of the Zhou family, who was usually carefree, to have such a side.

“Ah Mo, are you hungry? I’ll go buy you some food. After you’re done eating, you can go back and have a good sleep. I’ll watch over grandpa and wait for Yun Xi and the others to come over tomorrow morning,” Lin Yu said as she looked at the drowsy Zhou Mo.

Zhou Mo had been dozing off the whole time, so how could he have heard what Lin Yu had said? He only heard the word ‘hungry’ vaguely.

“Ah? Are you hungry? I’ll go buy you some food now.” Zhou Mo stood up from his chair and tried his best to open his eyes that seemed to be glued together.

Lin Yu could not help but laugh when he saw Zhou Mo’s expression. She covered her mouth as she looked at Zhou Mo.

Zhou Mo did not know what Lin Yu was laughing about as he stood there in confusion.

“I said, I’ll go buy food for you. You can just look after grandpa.” Lin Yu repeated helplessly.

“You stay here with grandpa, I’ll go buy food.” Then, Zhou Mo walked out.

“Oh no!” Zhou Mo only realized that he had forgotten to ask Lin Yu what he wanted to eat when he was halfway there. However, Lin Yu would definitely laugh at him if he were to return and ask. Zhou Mo was also afraid that he would feel awkward and that Lin Yu would think that he was stupid.

“I don’t care, I’ll just buy more!” In the end, Zhou Mo chose not to ask Lin Yu for the sake of his image and continued to walk forward.

“That’s not right. Since when did I care so much about my image in front of Lin Yu?” Zhou Mo also felt strange.

When did this feeling start? Zhou Mo could not explain himself.
