206: Chapter 205: Brother Zheng 206: Chapter 205: Brother Zheng Lu Zheng was in a very good mood today because he had received a letter and a package from Lin Xia.
The anxiety that had been hanging over him also settled slightly, as he was truly afraid that the young girl wouldn’t even reply to his letter.
Even though he knew Lin Chun was in the unit, and the chances of her not replying were slim, he still couldn’t help but worry.
When it ca to Lin Xia’s stubbornness, he really had no way to talk to her face-to-face like he did the last ti.
Moreover, there was Jiang Mingyuan by her side, and anything could happen.
So colleague followed him with a nose like a dog into the dormitory, eyes shining with the desire to share in the spoils but was directly chased out by him.
In the last letter he sent her, he casually ntioned how the sausages he brought back were snatched away until only one was left, and now she had thoughtfully sent him so many, the intention behind it was self-evident.
The last ti they t seed like only yesterday; her every frown and smile were deeply etched in his mind.
When the night was quiet, he would carefully reminisce about every little mont they spent together.
It was only after eting her that he ca to understand what missing soone was like.
He missed her!
Missed her so much!
But because they were far apart and didn’t have many opportunities to see each other, he could only now cherish the mory of her through her letters and gifts.
Although Lin Xia’s letter was only two pages long, Lu Zheng read it with relish.
In her letter, Lin Xia first asked about his well-being; a few sentences of concern made Lu Zheng’s lips curl upwards involuntarily.
Even if she tried to hide her affection, she couldn’t conceal the concern that shone through between the lines.
He saw it clearly; she was thinking about him too!
But when he read in Lin Xia’s letter that Jiang Mingyuan was going to Yecheng University with her, Lu Zheng’s expression turned grim.
This rival was not to be underestimated, seizing every opportunity to stay by Lin Xia’s side, and perhaps given enough ti…
if he were a girl, he might slowly be moved as well…
After so thought, Lu Zheng picked up his pen to reply to Lin Xia’s letter, telling her about his recent situation and his deep longing for her.
It was only when he stopped writing that he realized he had actually filled a full six pages of paper.
He hadn’t felt it while writing; he was never one for much talking, but when it ca to Lin Xia, he had endless things to say.
After finishing the letter, he still felt it wasn’t enough.
To reciprocate, he should send Lin Xia a package as well, so that even if she couldn’t see him in person, she would be reminded of him all the ti…
Ye Lin sat in the cafeteria with Yan iru, enduring the burning stares of others while waiting for Lu Zheng’s arrival.
Ye Lin muttered softly, “Sister iru!
Why hasn’t he co yet?”
She had made quite the effort to dress up to et Lu Zheng.
Yet, before even seeing his face, she was being ogled by all those n, it made her feel like throwing up.
But to avoid drawing attention, she could only grit her teeth and bear it.
Yan iru explained in a low voice, “He must be busy!
Linlin!
Be patient and wait!”
She was initially surprised that Ye Lin ca with her mother to visit her.
Later, she found out the true intention behind her cousin’s visit—it was for Lu Zheng.
After being admonished by her mother privately, she naturally had to fully support Ye Lin.
“Alright then!” Ye Lin hung her head, trying to ignore the annoying gazes.
When she saw the tall figure of Lu Zheng entering the cafeteria, Ye Lin excitedly stood up.
The last ti she saw him was just a fleeting glimpse from afar, nowhere near as clear as watching him approach step by step now.
Lu Zheng was indeed very dashing, standing out from the other n like a crane amongst chickens.
Ye Lin thought that apart from his tall stature, it was probably his handso features that made him stand out.
Right now, his lips were even curved into a rare smile, indicating that he seed to be in a good mood.
Yan iru was stunned by Lu Zheng’s seldom-seen gentle expression.
Whenever she saw him, his face was always stern, as if soone owed him money.
What was different about today?
It wasn’t until Ye Lin poked her anxiously that Yan iru snapped out of her daze and hurriedly stood up to intercept Lu Zheng, who was heading straight to the serving window to get food.
She introduced them, “Lu Zheng!
This is my cousin Ye Lin!”
Lu Zheng felt the na sounded sowhat familiar, and he greeted her with a faint hello.
Ye Lin looked up at him with joy, “Brother Zheng, do you rember ?”
Lu Zheng frowned.
He really didn’t like the girl’s shrill voice and the way she addressed him, it made his skin crawl.
“Ye Yongfeng is my grandfather!” Ye Lin noticed Lu Zheng’s surprise and quickly whispered her identity.
She was not like the average family mber of a worker.
“Uh!” Upon hearing the famous na of Ye Yongfeng, Lu Zheng suddenly rembered the person his grandmother wanted him to et.
It was the Ye family’s little granddaughter!
He had no idea that Yan iru, who was substituting at work, had a connection to the Ye family.
But he had no intention of engaging in conversation with her and went straight to the serving window to get his food before striding away from the canteen.
Ye Lin was extrely disappointed to see that Lu Zheng treated her like an ordinary person, without even the simplest of pleasantries.
She had originally thought that upon seeing her, Lu Zheng would not only instantly like her but at least show a look of amazent in his eyes.
Yet she never imagined that his gaze toward her would be one of utter calm and indifference.
Yan iru, pulling Ye Lin, who was pouting, out of the canteen, was genuinely worried that her cousin might throw a temper tantrum right there, with so many eyes watching.
“Sister iru!
How could he not offer a single courtesy?” Ye Lin truly felt humiliated.
She had never been looked down upon like this in her life!
Especially by the man she liked!
Yan iru hesitated for a mont but decided to share what she knew with her.
“Linlin!
I happened to hear that Lu Zheng has been corresponding with a girl nad Xia Lin!
He probably has a relationship with that girl…”
If soone already has soone in their heart, they naturally won’t feel anything for other girls.
Besides, even though she had not been working there for long, she knew what kind of person Lu Zheng was – a cold and stern man who always kept a straight face.
How could he be expected to chat and laugh with a young girl in a place like the canteen?
The news Yan iru revealed was so shocking that Ye Lin, breathing hastily, clutched Yan iru’s arm tightly and demanded, “Sister iru!
What did you say?”
She could accept Lu Zheng’s temporary indifference to her, but she couldn’t bear the thought of him being involved with another woman.
What would all her ti waiting for him have amounted to?
Hadn’t Grandma Lu previously ntioned that Lu Zheng had always been too busy at work to consider personal matters?
Yan iru pursed her lips and said in a low voice, “…
I also heard it as a joke from others…
It seems that this Xia Lin and Lu Zheng are quite close…
”
Actually, she didn’t feel it was right to make such assumptions, but for better or worse, Ye Lin was the child of her aunt’s family, and she didn’t want to keep her in the dark.
“Xia Lin?!” Ye Lin cared a lot about the girl linked to Lu Zheng, whose na differed from hers by only one character.
After asking for more details and realizing she couldn’t get a clear answer from Yan iru, Ye Lin, weighed down by her thoughts, beca eager to leave.
Tian Huifang couldn’t feel at ease letting her leave alone, so they left in a hurry together…
