Chen Qimeng immediately snapped back to her senses.
She handed the shopping bags to Lin Yu.
Still trying to cover for herself, she said,
“No, no, it’s not that I’m worried about you…”
“I can carry them myself, haha.”
Lin Yu weighed the bags in his hands and said casually,
“This is nothing. Easy.”
“They’re much lighter than the props we used for filming today.”
At the mention of their filming assignment,
the two aunties immediately slipped into parent mode.
They asked Lin Yu about his assignment, how he was doing at school, and so on...
Chen Qimeng rarely talked with Lin Yu about such things.
The walk from the entrance of the residential complex to their home took no more than two minutes.
Yet today, that stretch of road felt unusually long.
Lin Yu did not quicken his pace.
Instead, he matched the strolling pace of the two aunties and chatted with them as they walked.
Lately, Lin Yu had become somewhat enamored with this slow, unhurried feeling of life.
When he slowed down, he could see different sides of other people.
To see others was, in a way, to see himself.
“Lin Yu, for the sake of the friendship between me and your aunt,”
“there’s an important task tomorrow night that I’d like to ask you to take on.”
“I just don’t know whether an aunt you’ve only known for a few days has enough standing to ask you.”
Du Ruxue suddenly brought up this seemingly out-of-the-blue topic.
Lin Yu instantly became alert.
Anything that made Du Ruxue use the word “ask” was definitely not going to be something easy.
If she had spoken to him in private, Lin Yu could at least have heard her out first.
But saying it in front of Aunt Qimeng...
If he started hemming and hawing now, wouldn’t that be the same as refusing to give his own people any face?
“Aunt Ruxue, what are you saying?”
“Even if it weren’t for Aunt Qimeng’s sake, I’d still help you just because it’s you.”
“Go ahead. As long as it’s something I can do, I definitely won’t turn you down.”
Lin Yu had to show the proper attitude.
Of course,
he still needed to find out exactly what Du Ruxue wanted.
He had a feeling that behind those slightly upturned lips of hers,
she was hiding some secret little scheme!
“Actually, it won’t be difficult for you…”
“After all, you’re so popular!”
Lin Yu: “...”
It would have been better if she had not said that.
The more she said it,
the more certain Lin Yu became that this would not be simple.
Du Ruxue then continued,
“I’ve already arranged for a driver to pick me up tomorrow afternoon.”
“If I keep putting it off, the problems at the company are going to pile up like a mountain.”
“Mengmeng and I agreed that from now on, I’ll come to Pingchuan at least once a month.”
“But tomorrow, it really will be time for us to part ways for a while.”
As Lin Yu listened to the setup, he was not surprised.
It had only been a matter of time before Du Ruxue moved out of the apartment.
Her leaving tomorrow was entirely within his expectations.
But if she was leaving, what was there left to ask him to do?
With a regretful expression, Lin Yu continued listening to Du Ruxue.
“You probably have a general idea of how things are between Maomao and me.”
“She has never lived on her own away from me.”
“If I’m not mistaken, after I leave tomorrow afternoon,”
“the first night will be a major hurdle for her.”
“If you have time then, I hope you can stay with her and help her get through it.”
“That’s all. Nothing else.”
Lin Yu was stunned for a moment by her words.
What was she thinking?
Before you came, didn’t Maomao live in the apartment all along?
She didn’t seem to have any trouble adjusting!
Could it really be that the “older generation” was simply overconfident and had misjudged young people?
Lin Yu could hardly imagine Maomao hiding away and crying after Aunt Ruxue left.
She should be feeling more relaxed, if anything!

he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression.
