103: Chapter 103: Inviting the Wolf into the House
“When will Big Brother Lin be able to move back in?”
ng Xue’er spoke softly as always, but the shyness and timidity in her bright eyes were sowhat lessened.
Blinking her moist eyes, she stared steadily at Lin Fei, her gaze filled with doubt and expectation.
“I can’t say for certain.
It could be a few days or even months.”
Most likely he would never return.
After saying this aloud, Lin Fei added this to himself silently.
Lin Fei rely made a casual comnt, but to ng Xue’er’s ears, it transmitted an entirely different feeling.
ng Xue’er was innocent, but innocence didn’t equal foolishness.
Initially, when Old Wang suggested she cohabitate with Lin Fei, she was a bit reluctant because she didn’t know what kind of person Lin Fei was.
However, out of trust for Old Wang and, most importantly, considering her own financial situation, ng Xue’er did not raise any objections.
By now, she had been living in Lin Fei’s rental property for a while, yet Lin Fei, her sub-landlord, had never returned ho, not even once.
While this greatly reduced ng Xue’er’s discomfort with the unfamiliar environnt, as ti went on, it inevitably gave rise to doubts.
Today, she mustered the courage to ask Lin Fei directly, yet he responded with such an uncertain answer, undoubtedly deepening the worry in her heart.
“Right, I’m sorry, Big Brother Lin.
I will move out tomorrow.
This is this month’s rent.
The rest I will pay back as soon as I earn the money,” she said.
While speaking, ng Xue’er took out so change from her small cross-body bag and carefully handed it to Lin Fei.
ng Xue’er was undoubtedly pure, not only in her appearance and deanor but more so in her soul, which remained unstained by the filth of society.
She was without guile, and thus couldn’t imagine that Lin Fei was doing this to reduce the burden of living on her.
Although she realized Lin Fei was intentionally staying away, the only reason she could think of was that Lin Fei disliked her and didn’t welco her living in his rental space.
ng Xue’er valued highly the help Lin Fei had offered to Old Wang.
In her eyes, Lin Fei was a true benefactor and a good man.
Thinking that Lin Fei might be avoiding his ho because of her, ng Xue’er felt the only solution was to move out of his property.
“Why move out?
Are you uncomfortable living there?”
Though Lin Fei sensed sothing was off with ng Xue’er’s emotions, even with all his wits, he couldn’t fully grasp the girl’s thoughts.
If Lin Fei knew that ng Xue’er worried about him “having a ho he couldn’t return to,” he would probably find it overwhelmingly adorable.
As it stood, the only one in the world who could keep Lin Fei from returning ho was none other than Mu Shanshan.
“No, it’s not that, I just…”
ng Xue’er fidgeted with the change, stamring without being able to explain herself clearly.
Seeing Lin Fei staring at her, her pretty face flushed red, ng Xue’er mustered her sparse courage to speak louder, “Big Brother Lin, you are a good person.
I don’t want you to be unable to return ho because of .”
After blurting it all out in one breath, ng Xue’er didn’t dare to see Lin Fei’s reaction.
Her tender white hands clutched the change, her eyes tightly shut, and her ample chest heaving enough to reveal her inner nervousness.
Lin Fei was sowhat amused and exasperated by ng Xue’er’s behavior.
“Little Xue’er, actually I was going to tell you that I’m already married.” Lin Fei had intended to reveal this to ng Xue’er, but the words felt impossible to utter at that mont.
If he truly told ng Xue’er the reality, even if she chose to stay, she would certainly insist on paying the full rent.
This would defy Lin Fei’s original intention of helping ng Xue’er.
If initially, Lin Fei’s assistance was motivated by his connection with Old Wang, his subsequent interactions with ng Xue’er led to a fondness for her pure and thoroughly straightforward nature.
This fondness was not romantic but a heartfelt admiration.
Speaking with ng Xue’er, so pure and guileless, always left Lin Fei refreshed, as if his soul had been cleansed.
She was like a soothing cup of tea.
“Anyway, I definitely don’t dislike you, so feel free to stay as long as you want in my place.
You can pay the rent whenever you have so spare cash,” Lin Fei concluded, unsure of how else to explain, as being honest was not an option.
Nor did he want ng Xue’er to feel that his help was a handout.
This situation brought Lin Fei a bit of lancholy.
Trying to be a good person was difficult; it involved lies and misunderstandings.
Lin Fei couldn’t help but lant that being bad seed easier than being good.
“Lin, Big Brother Lin, do you really not dislike ?”
ng Xue’er asked with her face burning red, slightly lifting her chin in a small surprise.
In fact, having settled in for a while, ng Xue’er found Lin Fei’s rental quite comfortable and was even getting used to it.
Of course, the main reason was that Lin Fei’s place was very close to Old Wang’s house and not too far from her school.
If possible, ng Xue’er was indeed considering staying there for a long ti.
“Of course, Little Xue’er is so beautiful, I would like nothing more than to like you.
How could I possibly dislike you?
If you don’t believe , co here, let Big Brother Lin give you a kiss.”
Lin Fei spoke with a smile, stretching out his arms and stepping toward ng Xue’er.
