Chapter 37 - Speak Your Mind To Me
Su Wan had a feeling that something was off about Lin Chen but she had no idea that he was thinking of something so severe instead she believed that this big baby of her was just jealous .( a/n : gotta develop her character bro )
It wasn't that she didn't care about Lin Chen but because she never once compared him to his brothers . To her the Lin brothers had both strength and flaws , Lin Chen might believe that he wasn't good at anything but Su Wan never thought him as useless . In her eyes , his brute strength was something incredibly useful .
As a modern person she was a firm believer of everyone was unique and never liked to put others down because of their flaws or things they couldn't do .If she knew that Lin Chen had such dark thoughts she would have definitely sat down with him and had a motivating chat with him but she didn't .
So , Su Wan picked up her wrapped pancakes handed them to Lin Jing and walked out of the house with a smile on her face . Not having the slightest inclination about what was going on in Lin Chen 's mind .
She kept humming a tune in good mood as this was her first time out of the house . As she walked , she kept taking deep breaths and her smile widened even further , she had lived quite a few years in town and she had forgotten all about how the air of village smelled so fresh and clean . And because it was an ancient era the air was naturally even more clean than modern time.
" Wan..Wan a..are yo..you haa..happy ?" asked Lin Yu who was limping beside her , seeing his wife smile so happily Lin Yu smiled as well .
" Of course I'm happy " said Su Wan as she looked at Lin Yu and was startled when she caught sight of his smile . Lin Yu was usually reticent and because he was bullied a lot when he was a child he was a lot reserved , that's why Su Wan had never seen him smile before .
Lin Yu was a handsome guy , even though his beauty was slightly feminine , in the end he was still a man . Thus , when he smiled, he exposed his pearly white teeth and sparkling eyes , his curly eyelashes fluttered as he blinked at her and Su Wan - well as the one who was at the closest proximity to this deadly smile , she was well stupified for whole two minutes as she continued to stare at Lin Yu .
While her mind went 'Opppaaaaaa '.
" Wan Wan ?" when Lin Yu didn't hear her respond , he called her . If they were not outside , he might have even shook her but because they were walking outside and there were quite a villagers outside he didn't touch Su Wan and kept a proper distance .
" Ah ? " only when Lin Yu called her with a worried expression did she realized what she had done , slightly flustered , Su Wan swallowed and shook her head " its nothing , I was just trying to remember whether or not I forgot to bring something. "
" Oh " nodded Lin Yu and then stopped talking , Su Wan naturally thought it was a pity , she wanted to change Lin Yu 's introvert like personality so she hurriedly asked Lin Yu another question to keep him talking .
As long as she kept working hard , she believed she could change Lin Yu a bit ( a/n : you gonna regret it )
" Ah Yu , have you ever been to the town ? " asked Su Wan , since all of them were walking to where they were going to hire the ox cart . Su Wan decided to continue with their short chat and naturally didn't ignore any of her husbands who were walking beside her .
" I did " answered Lin Yu with an excited smile " Brother Jing took me to the town with him once, when it was spring festival "
" Really that's nice " then she turned to Lin Jing who was walking in the front and called out " Jing ge , will you take me to the town at spring festival too ?"
Lin Jing who was walking in front trembled slightly and his ears turned red when he heard Su Wan call him Jing ge in front of his brother , and that wasn't all .. when she called him that name all the memories of last night came rushing in his mind and his pace faltered a bit .
Naturally , Lin Jing no longer dared to say no to Su Wan he could nod his head and agree with an " En "
Su Wan smiled then tugged at Lin Yu 's hand intertwining her fingers with his " did you hear that , I will go to the town at spring festival too "
" Ah - eh ?" Lin Yu whose fingers were intertwined , stammered and hurriedly looked around before tugging his hand from Su Wan's grip . Having his hand held like that by Su Wan while walking made Lin Yu 's heart race , his face went red as he kept looking around . He wanted to ask Su Wan to let go of him but he didn't want to say the wrong thing and hurt Su Wan .
During this era , it didn't mattered if one was husband and wife . They naturally need to keep their distance when they were outside , such intimate gesture was frowned upon and no man and woman were allowed to act intimately in public .
Lin Yu didn't want to bring shame to Su Wan 's good name thus he tugged his hand free " Wan Wan l..let go . Do..don't hold on t..to me , pe..people will talk ."
Su Wan pouted but she saw how uncomfortable Lin Yu looked so she didn't make it hard for him but that didn't mean that she will let this go just like that !
" Ah Yu , you don't like me right ?" she deliberately put on a wronged expression and crossed her arms in front as she faced away from Lin Yu with a 'humph '.
" N..no h..how ca..can I? I ..I ju.. .just " when Lin Yu saw that Su Wan got angry he naturally panicked , because he was in a nervous frenzy his stuttering got worse and he couldn't even make a comprehensible sentence . So , he could only look at his brothers with a pleading look .
Lin Jing and the others ofcourse heard what went between Su Wan and Lin Yu. They knew that Su Wan wasn't wrong but what Lin Yu wasn't wrong either , Lin Yan wanted to talk some sense to Su Wan about how she should keep her distance with men even if they were her husbands .
Lin Rui cut him off hurriedly clearly afraid that his brother might anger Su Wan even more " Wan Wan .. don't be angry , alright ? Lin Yu is just worried about bringing shame to your name . He just don't want you to get criticised isn't that right , Yu ?"
Lin Yu nodded hurriedly but didn't speak because he was afraid of angering Su Wan even more . Su Wan rolled her eyes at Lin Yu who acted like a scaredy cat and stomped her feet " if there is something you want to say ...say it directly to me ! Don't ask your brothers to speak for you ! What are you afraid of ? I'm your wife will I eat you or will I beat you up ? , I am willing to listen to you no matter but you gotta speak your mind to me , get it Ah Yu ?"
Su Wan wanted to help Lin Yu get rid of his stuttering , she knew that this wasn't something that cam be treated by just some medicines alone , if Lin Yu wanted to speak properly then he needed to speak more !
