Lin Gantang’s movements attracted Mr. Lin’s attention. He raised his head and saw her staring at Wen Yanqing warily.
“Why are you staring at Yanqing when he is just sitting there? How old are you? Why are you so shocked?” Mr. Lin was disgusted.
“Really?” Wen Yanqing smiled meekly. “I think it’s very good; very pleasant.”
“Come on, you haven’t seen her go up to the roof and tear off the tiles.” Mr. Lin lectured Lin Gantang. “You should be content. Yanqing is here and doesn’t allow me to say anything to you. You still have the cheek to be angry at him. Is that proper?”
“Dad, do you know why I’m angry with him?” Lin Gantang pouted.
Wen Yanqing had come knocking on the door confidently, knowing that she would not tell Mr. Lin the reason.
“Why would I know so much? It’s just a matter between you young people.” Mr. Lin shook his head repeatedly. “Sigh. It’s more tiring for me to take care of you than it is to care for a group of boys; I’m collecting my debts.”
Lin Gantang was speechless.
Wen Yanqing chuckled.
“Your Auntie Ying is so thoughtful to give you your mother’s photo.” Mr. Lin’s attention returned to the photo. “Pick something that your Auntie Ying likes and give it to her. She’s rather nice to you.”
Lin Zhaonan didn’t come back during dinner time. Mr. Lin mentioned a few words, but was ultimately still concerned for him, instructing Auntie Zhang to prepare supper for Lin Zhaonan.
After dinner, he went to the small square for a walk.
“Dad has already started his retirement.” After Lin Gantang finished her meal, she started to crave the mangosteens.
Wen Yanqing moved the fruit plate in front of him and pinched open the fruit shell, handing her the snow-white flesh.
Lin Gantang ate to her heart’s content. She closed her eyes in enjoyment and smiled.
“I still have some at home. Why don’t you come to my house after you’re done?” Wen Yanqing fed them to her one by one.
Lin Gantang glanced at him. “I’m not going. You must be trying to trick me into going over. I’ll buy my own if there’s none left at home.”
Wen Yanqing’s sincere expression was flawless. “Why would I trick you? I just wanted to ask you over to eat.”
Lin Gantang didn’t believe him.
“You mentioned a whole set of lipsticks. I bought them and placed them at my place,” Wen Yanqing said.
“The latest model?” Lin Gantang was a little tempted.
“Customized; you’re the only one who has it.” Wen Yanqing smiled faintly.
She was tempted and wanted to see it.
“Why didn’t you show it to me first?” Lin Gantang stomped her feet anxiously.
Wen Yanqing’s tone was firm. “No way. We agreed to put it at my place.”
Lin Gantang thought to herself, “My heart is restless. Who can refuse a full set of custom-made lipsticks from their boyfriend?”
Lin Gantang hesitated. “Then…1’11…go over and take a look tomorrow?”
“Sure.” Wen Yanqing smiled.
Lin Gantang did not expect Wen Yanqing to be so attentive to her casual words. He had specially prepared something for her, but she did not seem to have any gifts for him.
He immediately aroused in Lin Gantang’s heart a feeling of shame.
“Do you want to eat? It’s very sweet.” Lin Gantang gave him her favorite mangosteens, feeding it to him. Her expression and tone were extremely gentle.
Wen Yanqing took half a bite and tasted it carefully, appraising, “Is it? There’s not much flavor.”
Not sweet? Lin Gantang ate the other half. It was obviously very good.
“Is your tongue spoilt?” Such a sweet mangosteen, yet you said it has no flavor.
“Try this one?” Lin Gantang peeled another one and fed him.
“It’s alright.” Wen Yanqing approached her and sat beside her.
Lin Gantang took another bite and frowned. It can’t be, right? His taste buds are really abnormal?
She put down the mangosteen, picked up the last milk candy, peeled it, and placed it by his lips. Her limpid eyes seemed to be speaking, urging him to open his mouth..
