Chapter 817: Chapter 819: Asking This and That
Chu Ge was worried that Lin Zhao might take things to an extre, so he decided to visit Lin Zhao’s house personally.
However, if he just went to Lin Zhao’s house directly like this, it would seem a bit abrupt.
Chu Ge touched his chin thoughtfully, and his gaze inadvertently fell on Lin Dong...
Lin Dong felt uneasy being stared at by Chu Ge, and nervously looked at him, asking, "Mr. Chu, why are you looking at
like that?"
Chu Ge beckoned him forward with his finger, indicating him to co closer, "Do you know where Lin Zhao’s house is?"
Lin Dong was stunned for a mont, then nodded, "Yes, he took
to his house before."
Chu Ge didn’t realize Lin Dong and Lin Zhao’s relationship had gotten so good that he had even gone to Lin Zhao’s house.
"I have so matters to discuss with Lin Zhao, but I don’t want it to seem too deliberate. Co up with an idea. If it’s good, I’ll teach you a boxing set."
Lin Dong looked at Chu Ge with delight, "Mr. Chu, do you an it?"
Finding a reason to see Lin Zhao was too easy; he could co up with any excuse to go.
Seeing Lin Dong’s confident expression, Chu Ge smiled faintly, "Of course, a gentleman’s word."
"A gentleman’s word is hard to retract even with a team of horses!"
Chu Ge nodded, "Tell , what thod are you planning to use to take
there without it seeming deliberate?"
Lin Dong patted his chest and said, "Lin Zhao still has sothing with . We can just say we’re going to return it, wouldn’t that work?"
Chu Ge: "..."
Why does he feel like he’s at a loss?
As Lin Dong suggested, Chu Ge and Lin Dong took a set of ga discs and headed to Lin Zhao’s house.
Chu Ge drove with Lin Dong, and on the way, Lin Dong asked out of curiosity, "Mr. Chu, why are you going to Lin Zhao’s house?"
Needing a reason to visit so it doesn’t seem deliberate always gave Lin Dong an illusion, making him feel it was sothing important.
"You’ve already asked this question three tis."
Chu Ge replied helplessly.
Lin Dong pouted, but you haven’t told
even after three tis.
"Mr. Chu, just tell . If you don’t, I’ll keep feeling like it’s sothing significant."
Lin Dong pursed his lips, looking at Chu Ge in frustration.
Chu Ge shook his head helplessly, "You, you, this gossipy nature probably won’t change in this lifeti."
He pondered for a while but ultimately didn’t tell Lin Dong the reason.
Because he was worried that Lin Dong might not be able to control himself and reveal everything.
Lin Zhao has a strong sense of pride and wouldn’t take the initiative to open up to him about family issues.
Although how he and Lin Zhao t initially wasn’t promising, later interactions made him understand that Lin Zhao wasn’t really a bad person; he’s just too rebellious.
After his father’s death, Lin Zhao seed to mature overnight, becoming more mature.
It’s comforting to see this, and it was due to this change that Chu Ge had a fresh view of him, seeing him as a friend worth having.
But now he faces a major crisis in life; Chu Ge fears the short-term double blow might have an extre impact on him, pushing him to another extre.
Soon, the car arrived at Lin Zhao’s house.
Lin Zhao’s house is at the edge of the old district, where the houses have beco very dilapidated.
"Mr. Chu, this is the place." Lin Dong pointed to the house at the front by the roadside, "His house is quite small, be prepared psychologically when you go inside."
Lin Dong wasn’t insinuating Chu Ge would despise it; he was just worried that Chu Ge might find it hard to accept all at once once inside.
Chu Ge nodded, "Don’t worry, I won’t judge based on appearances."
He’s not soone who focuses only on outward appearances.
The building inside was also very rundown, and a decaying stench could be slled on the staircase. Lin Dong said to Chu Ge, "This area has been waiting for demolition, but as the new district developed, it gradually got neglected."
"When Lin Zhao’s father was still alive, he even considered buying Lin Zhao another house so he could get married... Alas..."
As Lin Dong muttered to himself, the two reached the fourth floor.
Lin Zhao lives in the east household on the fourth floor, and Lin Dong knocked on the door. Lin Zhao soon ca to open it.
Seeing Chu Ge and Lin Dong at the door, Lin Zhao was visibly surprised, "Mr. Chu? Lin Dong? Why are you here?"
Chu Ge smiled a bit, "Lin Dong happened to have sothing to discuss with you, and I thought, I hadn’t visited your place yet, so I ca along to check it out."
Lin Zhao scratched his head a bit awkwardly, "Please co in, Mr. Chu, you’re thoughtful."
Lin Zhao invited Chu Ge and Lin Dong inside, rubbing his hands slightly awkwardly because his house was really too simple and the space was particularly small.
He discreetly raised his eyes to glance at Chu Ge and saw that there was no expression of disdain on his face, which eased the tension in him a bit.
"Lin Zhao, here’s the ga disc you left with . I happened to see it while organizing today, so I brought it over."
Back then, Lin Dong saw Lin Zhao’s obsession with this ga firsthand, which was why he used this as an excuse. When he borrowed the disc from Lin Zhao originally, Lin Zhao was very reluctant.
Lin Dong handed the ga disc to Lin Zhao, but Lin Zhao hesitated and didn’t take it directly.
He gave a bittersweet smile, "Forget it, I’ll give this ga disc to you."
Lin Dong was stunned and instinctively asked, "Lin Zhao, what did you say? You want to give this disc to ?"
Lin Zhao nodded, "Yes, you heard right. Haven’t you always wanted this disc? I’m giving it to you now; you don’t want it?"
Lin Dong quickly shook his head, "No, I’m just curious, why are you giving it to ?"
This was Lin Zhao’s favorite ga disc, and when he’d borrowed it from him, Lin Zhao had urged him several tis to keep it well.
Lin Zhao shook his head, "It’s useless to
now."
He no longer has the extra energy to play gas. The house has beco like this, and Mother’s health is deteriorating, and all burdens have fallen onto him.
He doesn’t know how long he can hold out, but he’s a man, so he must carry this family.
Chu Ge watched Lin Zhao quietly, knowing what Lin Zhao was thinking. After a mont of consideration, he got up and took a round around Lin Zhao’s room and asked, "Lin Zhao, are you ho alone?"
Lin Zhao shook his head, "My mother is ho, but she’s not feeling well today and has already gone to bed."
Chu Ge nodded. He was silent for a while, pondering whether to send Lin Dong away to talk to Lin Zhao alone, but given Lin Dong’s character, if he sent him away, he would definitely start asking questions.
