In a moderately sized discount supermarket, Lin Yu bought two large bottles of sweet drinks.
One was carbonated, and the other was a large bottle of fruit juice.
While carrying the two large bottles to the front counter and paying with his phone, Lin Yu suddenly frowned, feeling as if he had forgotten something.
Hmm...
After thinking for a moment, Lin Yu raised his eyebrows.
Oh, right!
I'm almost out of cigarettes; I need to buy another pack!
After paying, Lin Yu left the supermarket and walked towards Tang Manman's house carrying the two large sweet drinks.
Seeing the taxi parked at the intersection, Lin Yu finally realized what he had forgotten.
He walked over, scanned the payment code, and looked at the driver with some confusion, asking:
"Why didn't you call out to me just now?"
The driver was utterly speechless on the inside.
It wasn't like he didn't want to ask him to pay the fare.
But this kid had started slapping someone the moment he got out of the car, spouting nonsense like "you won't let me slap you, you're being unreasonable."
When he finally finished beating the guy, he got on the phone and started talking about killing people. How could the driver dare to rush him?
Although he was complaining endlessly in his heart, the driver put up a good front, saying in a very hearty tone:
"Ah, it's not much money anyway."
"It doesn't matter whether you pay or not!"
Lin Yu looked at him, feeling a bit speechless.
If it doesn't matter, why did you wait here for so long?
After paying, Lin Yu turned and walked deep into the alley.
Lin Yu was quite familiar with the way to Tang Manman's home.
During the second half of high school, Lin Yu had escorted her home almost every day.
Although he didn't walk her right to the door, after doing it so many times, Lin Yu still had some impression of her house.
Entering the gate to Tang Manman's home, there was a narrow passageway about four or five meters long. On the left was a wall, and on the right was a small storage room.
Through the dust-covered glass, Lin Yu could see a small pushcart inside the storage room, along with some boxes of charcoal and barbecue grill racks.
Lin Yu remembered that Tang's mother sold barbecue on the street.
Did she raise her two children relying solely on these things?
Sigh.
It really wasn't easy when he thought about it.
He continued walking forward. At the end of the passageway was a tiny courtyard.
Very small.
Probably less than twenty square meters.
Because it was winter, there was nothing in the courtyard except for a pile of cleared snow.
Further ahead was Tang Manman's little home.
Before Lin Yu could walk over, the tightly shut door was pushed open from the inside.
Tang Manman stood behind the door, smiling like a blooming flower as she opened it for him.
Lin Yu gave her a slight smile and stepped inside.
Tang Manman's house was very small, with only two rooms.
One was the kitchen, and the other was the bedroom where the mother and her two daughters slept.
At this moment, Tang's mother and Tang Qinqin were in the kitchen.
One was busy cooking, while the other was busy sneaking bites of food.
"Is Lin Yu here?"
Tang's mother was busy dealing with the dishes in the wok and didn't have time to come out and greet him, so she could only raise her voice to welcome him:
"Manman, bring Lin Yu into the room to sit."
As she spoke, Tang's mother didn't forget to take a moment from her busy cooking to lightly tap Tang Qinqin's sneaky little hand with her chopsticks, shooting her a fierce glare.
If she didn't stop her, there would only be half a plate of fried meatballs left by the time it was served!
Having been disciplined by the chopsticks, Tang Qinqin resentfully pulled her hand back and miserably went back to her actual job: washing vegetables.
Lin Yu followed Tang Manman into the room where the mother and daughters rested and lived.
This room wasn't large either; a large heated brick bed occupied nearly half of the space.
Lin Yu still had some impression of this bed.
He recalled that back when he was hunted by the Fire Scorpion Gang and fell unconscious, he woke up lying right here.
The bed was very big; three people sleeping on it wouldn't be crowded at all.
Even if he were added to the mix, there would be enough room to sleep...
...
???
What the hell are you adding yourself into?
Lin Yu quickly realized that his train of thought was a bit inappropriate. Facing Tang Manman, he guiltily rubbed the tip of his nose.
Then, feeling even more guilty, he stole a glance at her reaction.
At some point, the smile on Tang Manman's face had faded considerably.
The faint trace of a smile left on her face looked a bit awkward and uneasy.
What was wrong?
A question mark popped up in Lin Yu's mind.
Wasn't everything fine just a moment ago?
Why was she suddenly unhappy?
Lin Yu pondered to himself and quickly came up with a possibility.
Could it be that Tang Manman felt embarrassed because her house was too shabby?
To be honest.
This little home was indeed a bit small.
But small as it was, the house wasn't messy at all. Items were neatly arranged, and it was cleaned spotlessly.
Furthermore, he didn't know if it was because of some perfume in the room or simply the people living there.
Lin Yu always felt that this little room smelled wonderful.
The kind of scent you could take an epic deep breath of.
Lin Yu didn't mind this little home, but he couldn't say that directly.
Because that would still make people feel embarrassed.
However, when it came to coaxing Tang Manman, Lin Yu had his own tricks!
"Come here,"
Lin Yu said to Tang Manman while sitting on the edge of the bed.
Tang Manman didn't understand why, but she still walked over to him.
"Lower your head a bit."
Lin Yu waved his hand downwards, gesturing for Tang Manman to bend over.
Tang Manman still had no objections and foolishly did as she was told.
After Tang Manman bent down and got very close, Lin Yu kissed her.
Tang Manman froze for a moment. Her beautiful peach-blossom eyes widened slightly, and her face instantly turned bright red. She stared blankly at Lin Yu, who was right in front of her.
After reacting, she glanced nervously towards the kitchen. Upon seeing that her mother was still busy and her sister was still sneaking food, neither noticing this side, she let out a small sigh of relief.
"Are you a bit happier now?"
Lin Yu asked with a smile.
Tang Manman's face was flushed. She slightly raised her chin and was about to nod, but suddenly paused and quickly shook her head instead.
She plopped down next to Lin Yu, leaning her soft body against him.
She tilted her face up to look at him and, fighting back her shyness, said softly:
"Kiss me again."
"Hmm?"
Lin Yu looked at her, letting out a confused hum.
"I'll be happy if you kiss me again."
Tang Manman said in a tiny voice. Her face was red, and she tried to hold back a smile but simply couldn't.
She looked a bit silly, both adorable and slightly naughty.
Seeing her looking so cute, Lin Yu deliberately wanted to tease her, so he refused her every way he could.
Tang Manman was relentless, hugging Lin Yu and acting coquettishly.
In the kitchen.
Tang Qinqin let out a small burp. Having almost eaten her fill, she finally stopped focusing her energy on that plate of fragrant meatballs.
Bored, she looked around and soon saw the two people being all lovey-dovey in the room through the window.
Tang Qinqin's delicate little face instantly fell, showing a look of disgust as if she couldn't stand the sour stench of their romance.
After rolling her eyes, Tang Qinqin let out a sigh full of helplessness.
It seemed her sister was truly going to fall head over heels for this punk.
