Chapter 568: Drying Out Silence (Extra Update) - 568

Lin Zhicheng was naturally bold as brass.

Knowing that the man in the Sun Yat-sen suit before him was Yuanyuan’s dad, he was even less afraid.

Without a second thought, he said, "My little auntie said, don’t be stingy if you can lend a hand.

Everyone runs into trouble from time to time. If you keep a kind heart, you can accumulate some good karma for yourself. I don’t have any requests."

After that, he shifted his tone.

"If you really feel uneasy about it, then just give me a few books. Our brigade is setting up a reading room, and we’re short on books."

Lin Zhicheng was open and straightforward, and it made him likable.

"A reading room?" Kong Fangren raised his eyebrows curiously.

At this point, Lin Lu had something to say, "Yes, a reading room. Tangtang saw that the brigade’s children had no books to read, so he proposed setting up a reading room for the kids to study."

As a father, he was extremely proud.

Gu Yingzhou hadn’t heard about this before.

Upon hearing the future great man’s words, he immediately showed support for his partner.

"Setting up a reading room is a good thing. I’ll contribute to the purchase of the books."

Lin Tang, knowing his partner’s capabilities, didn’t object, "Okay, I thank you on behalf of the village children."

Gu Yingzhou chuckled softly, "Don’t mention it, your matters are my matters."

The frankness of his words drew sideways glances.

However, the man himself didn’t show a hint of emotion, appearing completely unbothered.

Kong Fangren, who had returned from abroad, had seen plenty of passionate public displays of affection on the streets.

The sticky behavior of the two men in front of him really didn’t amount to much.

His expression didn’t change at all.

Looking at Lin Zhicheng, he said warmly with a smile, "I promise, would fifty books be enough?"

Lin Zhicheng was stunned.

He knew books were expensive.

He quickly shook his head, "No, no, just a few would be enough. Fifty is too many, that’s not necessary."

Fifty books would cost so much money.

He couldn’t accept such a huge favor.

Seeing how considerate Lin Zhicheng was at such a young age, Kong Fangren’s distant demeanor completely disappeared, and his impression of him improved even further.

"It’s not too much, consider it my support for rural education, a donation to the village."

Although his attitude was warm, the aura of authority that had accumulated over the years made it difficult for people to argue.

The adults were already like this, not to mention the children.

Lin Zhicheng looked into Kong Fangren’s profound eyes, his mind buzzing, and he found himself speechless.

Gu Yingzhou stepped to the side, placed his hand on Lin Zhicheng’s shoulder, and guided him behind him, blocking Kong Fangren’s gaze.

His brows furrowed slightly, his eyes showed displeasure as he protectively said, "Professor Kong, Zhicheng is still a child and can’t withstand your testing."

Lin Tang heard this familiar "he is still a child," and the corner of her mouth twitched slightly.

Thinking of some troublemaking children whose parents always used this phrase as an excuse, she found it somewhat unbearable to witness.

In the future, this phrase, like "during the New Year," "since you’re here," or "why does he bully you and not others"... reeked just as badly.

At this moment, watching her partner protect Zhicheng, Lin Tang’s smile was blooming.

Knowing that Kong Fangren meant no harm to Zhicheng, she gave Gu Yingzhou’s arm a tug.

Then, looking towards Kong Fangren, she expressed her gratitude politely.

"...I thank Professor Kong on behalf of the village children for your generous donation of books."

Kong Fangren laughed lightly, his wise eyes filled with sincere amusement.

"Comrade Lin Tang is straightforward."

Kong Yuanyuan, seeing her father startle Lin Zhicheng, glanced at Kong Fangren with dissatisfaction.

She took Lin Zhicheng’s hand and comforted him in a soft voice, "Goudan, don’t be afraid, my dad isn’t scary at all, he just likes to tease people. Don’t be scared of him, I’m on your side."

The tenderness of her voice reached the ears of everyone in the courtyard.

Kong Fangren: "!!"

His mind raised alarm bells.

Kong Fangren’s gaze towards Lin Zhicheng became guarded.

Preventing his daughter from being stolen starts with the children.

He straightened his clothes and called out to Kong Yuanyuan with a grave voice.

"Yuanyuan, it’s getting dark. We should head back now."

As he spoke, his eyes were glued to Kong Yuanyuan holding Lin Zhicheng’s hand, nearly dying to pry them apart.

Upon hearing this, the plump-cheeked little girl’s face fell with disappointment, her bright, cat-like eyes dimming.

She let go of Lin Zhicheng’s hand and walked over to take her father’s.

"Daddy, can I come back to play with Goudan?" the little girl asked with her watery, expectant eyes fixed on Kong Fangren.

It was hard to bear refusing her.

Goudan was so much fun, telling stories, playing with slingshots, catching cicada shells...

Time flew when she played with Goudan and the rest, and she hadn’t had enough.

Kong Fangren, as a doting father, immediately rejected the question in his heart.

He almost let the word ’no’ slip out of his mouth.

But, looking into his daughter’s eyes, he couldn’t bring himself to say it.

After a moment of silence, he coaxed her gently, "You can, when daddy has time, we’ll come again."

Kong Yuanyuan’s eyes brightened, and she turned to look at Lin Zhicheng.

"Goudan, my daddy and I will go back first. I’ll come visit you next time."

She waved her hands with excitement.

Lin Zhicheng felt Kong Yuanyuan talked too much and didn’t really want her to come.

But faced with her shining eyes, he couldn’t bear to refuse and just nodded.

"Alright then."

Seeing that Yuanyuan was rather attached to Zhicheng, Lin Tang chuckled lightly.

The chemistry between people is truly unpredictable.

The Shuangshan Brigade had street lights, and the roads were smooth. The Lin Family escorted Kong Fangren and his group to the village entrance.

Everyone got into the car.

Gu Yingzhou gripped the steering wheel, reversed the car smoothly, glanced at Lin Tang, and waved at the Lin Family members.

"...You all should head back too, we’ll be leaving now."

Kong Yuanyuan waved to the Lin Family from the car, saying until next time.

Lin Lu, looking at the dark road in the distance, said with concern, "The house isn’t going anywhere. Yingzhou, be careful on your way."

Li Xiuli added, "It’s late at night. Drive slowly on the road, safety first."

Seeing Lin Tang not saying a word and just standing there, she tugged at her daughter’s arm.

Lin Tang was drying up in silence.

For such a short distance, what’s there to fuss about?

Facing her mother’s glaring eyes, Lin Tang opened her mouth, "There are a million roads, safety is the first; driving without regard, family sheds tears in yards."

"Drive carefully on the road!"

The Lin Family: "..."

Gu Yingzhou paused for a moment, his eyebrows twitching.

...He didn’t know what to say for a moment.

After a brief silence, he laughed it off, "Alright, head back quickly."

After speaking, he nodded to the Lin Family, started the car, and drove away.

The headlights receded, and that beam of light quickly vanished.

Li Xiuli slapped Lin Tang on the arm, annoyed, "I told you to say something nice to Yingzhou. What did you come out with?"

That ’family sheds tears in yards,’ isn’t that a curse on someone?

Lin Tang felt helpless, "It’s such a short route, there’s no need for it. If I have something to say to him, couldn’t I just go to the Machinery Factory to find him?"

In front of everyone, what did you expect me to say?

It wouldn’t be appropriate anyway.

That famous safety slogan had just popped into her head, so she said it.

Li Xiuli was speechless.

She tapped Lin Tang’s head with a tone full of resignation.

"I don’t understand how you kids handle relationships. For us, in our daily life..."

"A couple needs to care for each other; you have to talk."

"You need to express care and speak up even when you’re unhappy. You can’t keep it inside. Love, if you keep it bottled up, it will disappear."
