Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space-Chapter 655 - 531: You May Have No Shame, But I Still Do
Lin Liyin, worried about missing her noon surgery, hurriedly pedaled her bike, racing towards the hospital. Upon reaching the entrance, she didn’t pay much attention, locked her bike in the shed, grabbed her bag, and ran.
Zhou Xiaocun had been waiting since early morning, waiting and waiting, but still hadn’t seen the person he was looking for. He thought perhaps the other party wasn’t working over the weekend. Unsettled, he inquired again to ensure there was no mistake and continued to keep watch not far from the doorway.
Finally spotting a woman in a military uniform, he was about to approach her, but she completely ignored him and quickly disappeared from his sight.
However, he wasn’t anxious now. Since she had come, all was fine. He wasn’t afraid of not catching her.
This time, Zhou Xiaocun’s wait was a bit long. It wasn’t until almost the end of the workday that he still hadn’t seen a trace of Lin Liyin. He clutched his stomach that was aching with hunger, afraid to leave in case he missed her again.
It was one o’clock in the afternoon when Lin Liyin finished a minor surgery. After instructing the young nurse on some precautions, she returned to her office, exhausted. She took a chocolate from the drawer and popped it into her mouth.
Squinting her eyes and leaning back for a moment, she contemplated going to her sister-in-law’s house since it was the weekend. With this in mind, she promptly went to the director’s office to ask for leave.
Just as she reached the entrance, while pushing her bike but before mounting it, an old man stopped her. Impatiently, she looked at him.
"I’m Zhou Xiaocun, Zhou Xiaozheng’s older brother. I want to talk to you about something regarding your family, specifically about your mother, Gu Ruyi. Would you be interested in listening?"
Lin Liyin thought she must have misheard. Who did this person say he was? Her brother-in-law’s older brother? So old? It’s not right. It should have been his former older brother.
But no, the key point now was that he mentioned her mother.
Lin Liyin frowned, suspiciously eyeing him, "What do we have to discuss? Does my brother-in-law know you’re here? Should I notify him for you?"
Zhou Xiaocun didn’t mind her gaze, squinting his eyes halfway, "You can tell him if you want, just don’t regret it. I truly want to find your mother, but unfortunately..."
"Stop being mysterious, just say what you have to say."
Zhou Xiaocun glanced around at the entrance, smiling, "Aren’t you worried about being overheard?"
Lin Liyin hesitated for a moment, looked around, and softly said, "Let’s talk up ahead. Just don’t try any tricks, I’m not a little girl to be fooled by you."
Zhou Xiaocun silently followed her to a place not far away, and when she stopped, ready to talk, he looked around, saw no one, and slowly said, "Tell your mother that my father sent me to find her. She should find a way to meet me. I can’t stay in Beijing long. I’m waiting for her reply."
"You’re crazy! Clearly, you’re not well. What does our family have to do with yours? Spare me your tricks. Say more nonsense, and see how I handle you."
Zhou Xiaocun’s face turned sullen, "I don’t have the patience to babble with you. Don’t think you’re all high and mighty. If that old woman Gu Ruyi doesn’t see me, don’t blame me for not giving the Lin family’s face. If something happens, don’t regret it."
Lin Liyin’s heart skipped a beat. It seemed something major was amiss. She fixed her eyes on Zhou Xiaocun and asked, "I can’t believe you don’t know my mother had a stroke. She can’t meet you. You don’t dare go to the Big Courtyard anyway. So, speak up, what exactly do you want? You can talk to me directly."
Zhou Xiaocun looked at her and shook his head, "It’s not that I look down on you. This matter requires you to pass it on to your mother. As for the specifics, you should ask her. I’ll be back tomorrow morning for your answer. I hope you’ll hurry; I don’t have much patience and am anxious to leave."
After he finished, Zhou Xiaocun left first.
Lin Liyin watched him leave quickly, her heart pounding. What exactly did her mother do to make the Old Zhou Family come all this way? Since he was so confident, it seemed like a big deal. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
With this thought, she quickly hopped on her bike and pedaled fast.
Just as she reached the intersection, Lin Liyin hesitated for a moment, thinking she shouldn’t rush, and needed to think it through well. With this in mind, she turned and rode home.
Her husband returned to work last night, and he should be back by now, though she didn’t know if he was still angry. And there’s Xiao Lin, she didn’t know if she went back to her in-laws with her husband.
Children in the alley were playing and laughing, and seeing her return, they warmly greeted her.
Lin Liyin greeted them briefly, suddenly remembering that her two sons didn’t have school today but told her last night they were going.
Thinking of this, she felt it was time to have a good talk with her two sons. At their age, they should be more sensible and not wander outside anymore.
Lately, Lin Liyin felt very tired, with a string of things occurring one after another. Besides work, matters from her mother’s family drained her.
After opening the gate, she was just about to push her bike inside when she suddenly heard voices from inside the bedroom, and an inexplicable suspicion arose. Moving quietly, she tiptoed inside.
At this moment, a farce was also occurring inside Lin Liyin’s bedroom.
Li Jianjun had spent last night chatting with his comrades and was now sleeping soundly. Half awake, he felt someone lying beside him, not thinking much, assuming his wife had come home.
Feeling a small hand reach into his pants, he turned over with closed eyes, wrapped an arm around her, and mumbled, "So tired, let me sleep a bit longer."
As that hand kept moving inside his shorts, Li Jianjun gradually lost his sleepiness, reached out with his eyes closed to grab a handful, rubbed it, and was about to turn over when suddenly something felt wrong. The touch was off, the waist wasn’t right.
With a fright, he jolted awake, his eyes wide open.
——He saw Lin Xuelin’s face smiling at him, "No wonder my aunt likes you so much. You certainly have the assets." With that, her hand pinched harder.
Li Jianjun immediately yanked her hand away, disgusted by her fair skin, almost to the point of vomiting. Seeing her trying to cling again, he quickly jumped off the bed.
Li Jianjun had never encountered something so ridiculous, gritting his teeth in anger, "Get out! If I see you again, I’ll kill you."
"Li Jianjun, don’t act like you’re high and mighty. It’s your luck I fancy you. If not for your good looks, I wouldn’t even bother."
Seeing her jump off the bed to cling, Li Jianjun angrily pried her hands away, "You may not want your face, but I still want mine. Let go of me."
"I won’t. If you dare, yell and I’ll say you have something with me. What’ll you do then?" Lin Xuelin boastfully tugged at his shorts.
"I told you, I truly can’t transfer you back to Beijing. Seriously, auntie, can you stop this?" Seeing that being tough wasn’t working, Li Jianjun had to soften his tone and beg.
He had truly underestimated her; this girl brazenly slipped in during his nap. Luckily he realized in time, or he’d have to atone with his life.
"I’m not messing around. I’m serious."
Li Jianjun had nowhere to hide, retreating as Lin Xuelin advanced, and in their tussle, they accidentally knocked over the hot water bottle, which crashed to the floor with a bang.
