Chapter 234.1

Editor: Princess

Propping his cheek on his hand, Lin An Lan recalled the scenes from his dreams. How should he put it? This future didn’t seem unacceptable.

After all, he’d been having these dreams for so long now, he was used to it.

It was just that suddenly becoming bent like this was inevitably a bit hard to accept.

Knowing something was one thing, and digesting it was another. Lin An Lan felt that he needed some time to help facilitate his digestion.

Cheng Yu and Lin An Lan stayed in the hospital room until 9 PM. When Mother Lin was preparing to sleep, Father Lin sent them home.

Seeing how late it was, Cheng Yu called a taxi and first took Lin An Lan home, then went to his own place.

He tossed his schoolbag aside, casually changed clothes, and went to play games.

After all, he never turned in homework anyway. Acting the part in front of Lin An Lan and Lin An Lan’s parents was one thing, but back home with no one to supervise him, who would want to do homework?

Cheng Yu thought that if Lin An Lan required him to do homework properly, he would definitely do it.

Too bad Lin An Lan had never said such a thing to him. With no one managing him, he had no desire to advance. He just wanted to waste time.

Sometimes people really couldn’t be too smart. Being too smart, learning everything easily, made one not care.

If he really struggled more with studying, then even just to give Yu Heng a good grade at final exams, he would study diligently and work hard every day. But unfortunately, he really wasn’t bad at all, so studying became something he didn’t take to heart.

Cheng Yu sighed and lay down on his bed.

He thought that if Lin An Lan’s father knew about his attitude, he’d probably really want to have a heart-to-heart talk with him!

When Lin An Lan got home and pressed the elevator button, he remembered that he and Jiang Xu hadn’t been in contact for several days.

Mother Lin’s condition had occupied all his thoughts, so these past few days, he simply hadn’t thought of Jiang Xu.

With this realization, he pressed the button for Jiang Xu’s floor and walked to his door.

He knocked, but got no response. He’s probably not home, Lin An Lan thought to himself.

Since Jiang Lirong had left, Jiang Xu was both guarding this home and unwilling to return to it.

Father Lin was a kind and good person, plus teachers had a natural sense of responsibility toward children this age, so he’d told Jiang Xu more than once that if he was willing, he could come to their house. Whatever his mother had done, his most important thing now was the college entrance exam. He needed to study well and prepare for it first. This was a matter affecting his entire life.

But Jiang Xu obviously couldn’t listen. Even though the Lin family had shown sufficient goodwill, he hadn’t continued sitting in the classroom listening to teachers lecture as Father Lin had hoped. Instead, he’d chosen to abandon himself.

Father Lin couldn’t persuade him, and Lin An Lan couldn’t persuade him either. But after all, they were friends who’d grown up together. Just watching the other person give up on himself left Lin An Lan unable to bear it.

He called Jiang Xu, but Jiang Xu didn’t answer.

Having no choice, Lin An Lan returned to the elevator, preparing to go home.

He had too many things to keep busy with now—running between school, hospital, and home every day. He no longer had much energy to manage Jiang Xu.

For Lin An Lan, the most important people in this world would always be his parents.

When his parents were fine, he could spare energy for Jiang Xu or others. But when his parents had problems, he was too lazy to care about even himself.

In his world, his parents were always the most important.

After going to the hospital with Lin An Lan for several days, Cheng Yu had completely warmed up to Father Lin and Mother Lin. He was simply too good at talking. He could praise people, coax them, and figure out what others wanted to hear. Father Lin and Mother Lin were so delighted by his flattery that their address for him changed from “Xiao Cheng” to “Xiao Yu”.

Lin An Lan felt that he should be called “Little Flower”—flowery words and honeyed speech, all pleasant-sounding talk.

This Friday, Lin An Lan finally convinced Father Lin to go home and rest while he kept watch in the hospital room.

Cheng Yu said he’d stay to keep him company, but was forcefully taken away by Father Lin. Cheng Yu was very reluctant, saying he’d come back tomorrow.

Lin An Lan chuckled and waved at him, telling him to go home and do his homework properly.

“I’ll see what you don’t understand when you come tomorrow and explain it to you.”

“Okay.” Cheng Yu replied.

Mother Lin waited until he’d left before smiling: “Xiao Yu is quite interesting. Is he especially popular in your class?”

Lin An Lan’s hand that was peeling an apple froze. Cheng Yu really wasn’t like this at school. He usually looked quite cool, and when playing with Xu Sheng and the others, he smiled very brightly. But when he got to his parents’ place, he inexplicably became lively and animated, quite different from his usual appearance.

Lin An Lan figured that this was probably because he was there. Since Cheng Yu liked him, he’d be different in front of him than in front of others. This was normal.

“Mm.” He continued peeling the apple. “His family is well-off, and he’s handsome, so not just girls in our class, many girls throughout our school like him.”

“An Lan, you think he’s good-looking?!” Mother Lin was surprised. “This is the first time you’ve praised someone like this. You never used to say others were handsome.”

“Did I not?” Lin An Lan asked her.

“Of course not. You’d only say things like, ‘His studies aren’t good’, or ‘His grades are decent but his personality isn’t good.’”

Lin An Lan: …Was he really such a picky person?

He silently handed the peeled apple to Mother Lin and changed the subject.

Mother Lin smiled but didn’t call him out, eating the apple he’d peeled slowly.
