Chapter 80: Chapter 78: The Rabbit That Entered His Territory
He saw the elderly couple off into the car, stood outside the door for a while, and then went back inside only after the car had driven far away.
Just as he pushed open the glass door at the bottom of the building, he saw Su Xiaomeng standing in front of him, holding his coat in her hand.
Su Xiaomeng, seeing that Yin Shixiu noticed her, hurriedly said, "Uncle, I saw you weren’t wearing a coat, so I brought it down for you."
Yin Shixiu was taken aback for a moment.
Su Xiaomeng sniffed, and seeing Yin Shixiu speechless, she couldn’t help but blink her eyes.
"Uncle?"
With a stern face, Yin Shixiu walked up to her, frowned slightly, and raised his hand to knock her hard on the forehead!
Su Xiaomeng was a bit stunned by the knock, and then her big eyes rounded wide, "Old man, you hit—"
Before she could finish her sentence, Yin Shixiu yanked the coat from her hands and wrapped it around her.
The curses that she wanted to shout... wouldn’t come out anymore.
Yin Shixiu wrapped his arm around her shoulders and quickly entered the elevator.
She brought him the coat but came out herself wearing just a sweater and slippers...
What’s going on in this girl’s head?
Su Xiaomeng was extremely embarrassed at the moment; only when the clothes were wrapped around her did she belatedly feel the cold.
"I... forgot."
Yin Shixiu glanced at her, said nothing, and just held her close as they returned to the apartment after the elevator door opened.
"Go to bed early."
Yin Shixiu re-hung the coat on the rack and then said to Su Xiaomeng.
Su Xiaomeng wanted to say something, but seeing Yin Shixiu’s not-so-friendly expression, she closed her mouth, lowered her head, went back to her bedroom, and gently closed the door.
The sudden arrival of Yin Shixiu’s elderly parents disrupted his original plans.
Moreover, the reaction of his parents upon meeting Su Xiaomeng was as expected.
He couldn’t help but feel a bit upset and didn’t notice Su Xiaomeng’s subtle change in mood.
Seeing her obediently return to her room, he didn’t think much of it and also returned to his own room.
The principal of A University was quite close to him, so he hadn’t put much effort into handling the situation with Su Xiaomeng.
However, since the principal also called Yin Shaohui uncle, to make sure the principal kept everything secret from the old man, he did spend a lot of effort.
No matter how much rumors circulated in the school, it wasn’t going to reach the old man in the short term.
But now it happened, Yin Shaohui directly saw Su Xiaomeng in person.
The old man not only saw her, the old lady also met her!
This way... it’s not far from knowing everything.
Thinking about this, he couldn’t help but feel a headache.
Su Xiaomeng was originally extremely sleepy, but after delivering the coat to Yin Shixiu and freezing herself, she was also seriously wounded in pride by the two elderly folks.
"That girl, the whole night, there wasn’t a place I could find pleasing, Shixiu, a girl like that, isn’t worthy of you."
Those somewhat cold words from the "Beautiful Grandma" lingered in her ears, stirring up her mind.
Tossing and turning on the bed, she couldn’t fall asleep no matter what.
Her chest felt stifled, very uncomfortable.
Was it "Beautiful Grandma’s" words that made her feel so bad?
Well, it seemed that way.
But deep down she understood, her discomfort was due to... Yin Shixiu’s attitude.
Not a word, not even a letter... he didn’t defend her at all.
Does this mean that, in Uncle’s heart, he actually also thinks she is ignorant, also looks down on her?
Does it even matter?
Su Xiaomeng asked herself whether Uncle’s opinion of her, Uncle’s parents’ view of her, was important.
She always knew that between her and Uncle, there were chasms long and deep.
Once the child is born, they will divorce, and their paths would never intersect again...
She thought about it like this, trying hard to convince herself not to care, not to guess what Yin Shixiu might think!
And then—
Su Xiaomeng let out a heavy sigh, hugging a pillow as she stood in front of Yin Shixiu’s room door.
Not knowing Uncle’s thoughts, she just couldn’t sleep!
Even though his thoughts weren’t important, she still wanted to know.
"Knock knock"...
She gently knocked on the door twice, but there was no response for a long time.
Su Xiaomeng, gathering her courage, pushed the door open, then cautiously peeked her head inside.
Her big eyes scanning around, there was no sign of Yin Shixiu in the room, only the sound of water "splashing" from the en-suite bathroom...
Su Xiaomeng stepped inside, each step taken with care, for this was Yin Shixiu’s bedroom, but to her, it was a forbidden land.
Even though she had been staying here for quite a few days, she had never previously set foot through this door.
Perhaps because, as soon as she stepped in, scenes from that night would involuntarily surface in her mind...
