"Lanlan is here."
Fan Lalan looked up and smiled, "Yes, Dad."
Lin Fu nodded and looked at his daughter, "Yanyan, how did you sleep?"
Lin Xiaoyan: "Slept well, and my head doesn’t hurt anymore."
"That’s good. By the way, I don’t know if Xiao Nan is awake yet. Please keep your voices down." Lin Fu instructed.
"Sister Nan isn’t awake yet?" Lin Xiaoyan glanced towards Nan Xi’s room.
Just after she finished speaking, Nan Xi’s door opened.
"Xiao Nan, you’re awake. Did you sleep well?" Lin Fu asked as he saw Nan Xi walking out.
Nan Xi nodded with a smile, "Uncle Lin, I slept well."
"That’s good, you all continue chatting." Lin Fu went back to the kitchen to continue helping his wife.
"By the way, Dad, Qi An had sothing at the police station. It’s uncertain if he’ll work overti tonight."
Lin Xiaoyan took out her phone, seeing that He Qi’an hadn’t replied, "He said if he works overti, he can’t co for dinner. I just asked him, but he hasn’t replied yet, so he must still be at the station and hasn’t finished work."
After listening, Lin Fu expressed understanding, "Oh, he went out with you yesterday, didn’t even rest before being called back. It’s fine, I’ll set aside so for him. Whenever he cos back, I’ll send it to him to eat.
After all, it’s so close!"
Lin Xiaoyan thought about it and nodded in agreent, but she ntioned to her dad that He Qi’an might work late.
As expected, it was eleven at night, and He Qi’an still hadn’t returned.
Lin Hao also ca over for dinner tonight because he’s eting He Qi’an’s family tomorrow, so he specially took a day off tomorrow.
It just so happened that Li Wen’s school hadn’t started yet, so he was looking after the store.
Because Li Wen perford well over the New Year days, Lin Xiaoyan discussed with her brother about giving him a raise.
If he wants to rest on weekends, Li Wen can substitute for Lin Hao to watch over the store. However, if Li Wen is not available, he cannot take a break.
After hearing this, Lin Hao of course agreed, but he was most concerned about the uncertain factors since Li Wen is still in school. He hoped to train another store clerk.
Because next month he might have to return ho to accompany his wife; he must be there when she gives birth.
At that ti, he might not be able to stay at the store.
Lin Xiaoyan was also aware of this situation, so she asked her brother to see if there’s a suitable person. Soone who can take on the position of store manager when he’s not there.
"Li Jin is quite suitable, but he’s a bit too young. I’m afraid if sothing happens, he might not handle it well..."
Lin Xiaoyan threw out the trash and took the opportunity to see her brother downstairs. Her sister-in-law was tired, so she had Nan Xi take her back earlier.
Hearing her brother ntion Li Jin, she imdiately recalled Li Jin in her mind. Indeed, Li Jin was only nineteen, which is quite young.
"Are there other candidates?"
Lin Hao thought for a mont, "Other people may be diligent but not very communicative.
Or they might talk too much but aren’t serious about their work sotis."
The two slowly walked out of the apartnt building, chatting as they went.
"Yanyan!"
Just then, He Qi’an had just gotten out of the car, and he imdiately saw his girlfriend walking with her head down, his eyes brightened, and he quickly walked forward.
"Qi An, are you off work?" Lin Xiaoyan heard He Qi’an’s voice, looked up, and saw that her boyfriend had already walked up to her.
"Are you cold? Why did you co down by yourself? Didn’t Sister Nan co with you?" He Qi’an touched his girlfriend’s hand, finding it a bit cold.
"Your hands are cold, and you’re wearing so little. The temperature is low at night, you should wear more."
Lin Hao at the side: ... ???!!! Am I invisible?
"I ca down to throw the trash away, I’ll be right back up. I’m not cold." Lin Xiaoyan said with a smile.
However, He Qi’an had already taken off his jacket and draped it over her shoulders.
"This kind of behavior is the easiest way to catch a cold. Wear it, I’ll throw away the trash. You don’t need to go out." He Qi’an quickly took the trash from Lin Xiaoyan’s hand, ready to throw it away.
"Ahem, ahem!"
Lin Hao coughed and said, "Give it to instead, I’ll throw away the trash. You two go upstairs."
It was only then that He Qi’an noticed Lin Hao standing beside him. He was stunned for a second, then quickly shouted, "Brother Hao, you’re here too."
Lin Hao: ... Turns out my sister is the only person you see!
Lin Xiaoyan pressed her lips together, barely holding back her laughter.
After saying that, He Qi’an imdiately realized he’d misspoken and quickly said, "No, I’m sorry Brother Hao, I just didn’t notice you just now..."
Lin Hao waved his hand, took the trash from He Qi’an’s hand, "No worries, I’m heading ho, you guys go upstairs."
Watching Lin Hao’s departing back, He Qi’an looked at his girlfriend and whispered, "Is your brother mad?"
Lin Xiaoyan held back her laughter, glared at her boyfriend, and pulled him into the elevator, "Did you really not see my brother, or were you pretending not to see him?"
He Qi’an was a bit aggrieved, "I really didn’t see him! I thought you ca downstairs specially to et ..."
Lin Xiaoyan: ...
"You didn’t send a ssage, how would I know you’d be back? You have quite the imagination!"
"It is quite an imagination. I almost ended up offending my brother-in-law!" He Qi’an held his girlfriend in his arms. He truly hadn’t noticed the brother-in-law earlier, sigh.
Lin Xiaoyan: "Have you eaten? My dad set aside so food just for you, do you want to eat?"
"Yes!" He Qi’an quickly said.
He already offended the brother-in-law, he couldn’t possibly offend the father-in-law and mother-in-law!
They specifically saved food for him. Even if he had already eaten, he would still eat it!
However, he really hadn’t eaten, and he was quite hungry.
"So are you coming to my place to eat, or going back to your place to eat?"
As they stepped out of the elevator, Lin Xiaoyan asked.
He Qi’an gently tugged on his girlfriend’s hand and said softly, "Let’s go to my place. It’s getting late, and I don’t want to disturb Uncle and Aunt."
Lin Xiaoyan: "Then I’ll go in and get the food for you, and you can take it back yourself."
"No, you should eat with . You can go back after I finish. Is that okay?"
Lin Xiaoyan glanced at him skeptically and took out the key to unlock the door.
"Is that okay? Is that okay?" He Qi’an quietly asked, looking at Lin Xiaoyan.
Lin Xiaoyan ignored him, heading directly into the kitchen and bringing out the food that had been set aside.
She saw her mother coming out of the bathroom, "Mom, Qi An just got off work. I’m taking the food over to him. You guys should go to bed."
Lin Mu nodded, "Alright. Does he have a microwave? It needs to be heated if it’s cold."
Lin Xiaoyan: "He has one. I’ll take it over for him to heat it himself."
Lin Xiaoyan carried the food to the door, where He Qi’an was waiting outside and promptly opened the door to take the food over.
"I’ll carry it."
Lin Xiaoyan closed the door, took a few steps forward, and reached He Qi’an’s doorstep.
"Keys." Lin Xiaoyan looked at He Qi’an.
"In my left pocket."
Lin Xiaoyan found the key and opened the door, and the two of them walked inside.
"Go wash up, I’ll heat up the food for you."
"Alright, thank you, Yanyan." He Qi’an looked at his girlfriend tenderly.
Lin Xiaoyan raised an eyebrow, carried the food into the kitchen, and put it in the microwave to heat.
