51: Chapter 32 Confession 51: Chapter 32 Confession “Right, this is for you,” Lin Xiaoguai handed over the Hazelnut Oil Handmade Soap she made for her, “I made this myself.
Use it to wash your face and bathe, and I promise it will surprise you.”
Unlike Luo Yufang, Jiang Xiaoi always took Lin Xiaoguai’s words as gospel and cherished the gift greatly.
“Look at you, all sweaty.
Take this to fan yourself.” Catching a glimpse of the fine beads of sweat on Jiang Xiaoi’s face, Lin Xiaoguai passed her a palm-leaf fan and poured her a cup of water from the thermos.
Jiang Xiaoi grinned from ear to ear; she loved it when Xiao Guai showed her care.
Hesitating for a mont, Lin Xiaoguai pretended to take out a bottle of Beauty Pill from the cabinet and placed it in front of Jiang Xiaoi, “Soone gave this to .
It’s said to be from abroad.
You take it to curb hunger, and long-term use can make you lose weight.”
“Really?” Jiang Xiaoi’s eyes lit up.
“I don’t know, but don’t get your hopes up.
To , it looks just like a bottle of Candy,” Lin Xiaoguai questioned with feigned uncertainty.
If she seed too confident, what would she do if others ca asking later on?
Xiao i wasn’t soone who could lie through her teeth.
Her expression was actually quite false, and probably only Jiang Xiaoi, who was simple-minded and trusted her, could be fooled.
Jiang Xiaoi looked at the glass bottle in her hand; it was round and cute, containing crystal-clear “Candy” about the size of soybeans.
“Even if it’s useless, it’s okay.
The candy looks pretty tasty,” she consoled.
“You can only eat one a day.
What you have there is a year’s supply.
Be careful with it, lock it in a drawer, don’t let soone steal it.” Lin Xiaoguai had a reason to say this.
Xiao i’s house was wealthy, and she had a lot of spare change and snacks.
People might ostracize her as a person, but not her possessions.
“I’ll rember that, and I won’t let anyone steal them,” Jiang Xiaoi affird, though often tricked by others, but she would treasure anything given by Lin Xiaoguai, even if it were just a button.
She valued her friendship with Lin Xiaoguai more than anyone else.
The two chatted about the local gossip as they used to and then ca out to eat tomatoes.
Lin Xiaoguai washed a tomato for Luo Yufang and took a big bite out of another for herself.
“Xiao Guai, my dad went to Uncle’s house yesterday,” Jiang Xiaoi said while wiping tomato juice off her mouth, “He went alone carrying a bottle of liquor, not sure what was said, but he ca back very Happy.”
She paused and then smiled, “It’s so good to see dad Happy after such a long ti.”
Although Jiang Xiaoi was dull, she was sensitive about her loved ones.
She clearly rembered that as she grew up, her dad beca less happy, with a troubled look, even his smiles seed forced.
Lin Xiaoguai had her suspicions but didn’t intend to tell Xiao i; if Uncle Jiang didn’t tell his daughter, he must have had his reasons.
“By the way, co over tomorrow morning, and I can tell you more,” Lin Xiaoguai rembered sothing and said.
“No, that’s okay.” Jiang Xiaoi shook her head and whispered into her ear, “If I co in the morning, I would definitely have to eat here, and your great-grandma would be upset.”
Lin Xiaoguai wanted to say it didn’t matter, but recalling the current financial situation, she hesitated.
Even in later generations, if you aren’t very close, going to soone’s house every day for food is frowned upon, let alone now.
Grandma and Grandpa are nice, but it’s better not to test people’s feelings carelessly.
“Alright then, but make sure you co over early after you’ve eaten,” Lin Xiaoguai reluctantly said.
Because of this conversation, when Jiang Xiaoi said goodbye before dinner, Lin Xiaoguai didn’t insist she stay for the al.
At that mont, she felt, indeed, it was better to be her own master at ho, without so many concerns.
When Shen Chi ca back in the evening, he was surprised to find his young wife looking rather downcast.
Raising an eyebrow and suppressing a twinge of heartache, he sat beside her and asked with concern, “What’s the matter?
You seem so listless.”
At that mont, Lin Xiaoguai also forgot to guard against his potential abuse and said with her head hung low, “If only the baby could be born right away.” Then she could move to the Capital and start her own life.
That’s right, move to the Capital.
From the beginning, she never planned to follow Shen Chi with the military.
He was a domineering and authoritative man.
If one ran into his territory alone, wouldn’t that be asking for trouble?
Shen Chi, however, misunderstood, “Did the baby bother you?” As he spoke, he placed his hand on Lin Xiaoguai’s abdon.
By coincidence or not, a gentle thump was felt under his palm.
Both Lin Xiaoguai and Shen Chi stared, dumbfounded, not quite able to react.
