Chapter 621: When 621 is compared, it stabs the heart

Lin Tang received the gift, her eyes brimming with a warm, soft smile like scattered stars.

"Thank you, guys, a scarf and a pair of gloves—I won’t be cold this winter no matter how chilly it gets."

She seemed to like it very much.

Seeing Tangtang so satisfied with their gifts, Qin Suqing and Fang Xiaoyun exchanged a glance, their faces also filled with smiles.

The three girls were all laughing cheerfully, bathing the whole courtyard in a warm light; even the gloomy sky seemed to brighten up.

Lin Qingmu very considerately pushed his bicycle into the courtyard from outside.

Lin Tang took her two good friends to her room.

Just before entering the room, Qin Suqing glanced back at Lin Qingmu, then quickly averted her gaze.

Lin Qingmu felt a gaze on him and looked up only to see the back of a head.

...Must have been mistaken, right?

The room was very warm, and the chill Qin Suqing and Fang Xiaoyun had caught on the way slowly dissipated.

Once inside, the two girls relaxed.

Qin Suqing touched the tuft of Lin Tang’s hair that stood up and teased with a laugh, "Tangtang, why is this tuft of hair sticking up? You haven’t just woken up, have you?"

Remembering she hadn’t washed up yet, Lin Tang stood up, "Oh, you didn’t mention it, I would have forgotten. Wait for me, I’ll go wash up."

With that, she left the room.

Fang Xiaoyun peeled a peanut and popped it into her mouth, looking at Qin Suqing’s dazed appearance and said, "Tangtang is really comfortable at home; her family doesn’t really control her much, and Aunt Li has spoiled her rotten."

The washstand was in the courtyard, and Lin Tang, who was washing up, heard this and laughed, "Indeed, I’m more relaxed and comfortable at home than anyone!"

With many people at home, her mother wouldn’t let her do anything; she slept until she naturally woke up and there was always food ready when she got up—no one had it more comfortable than she did.

Fang Xiaoyun said enviously, "Alright, we get it, you’re comfortable. Why do you even have to say it?"

...At her home, she had to do everything.

Such a comparison really stung!

Lin Tang quickly finished washing her face and headed back inside, chuckling, "Look at you, can’t even let someone tell the truth. Even if I said I did everything, no one would believe it."

After speaking, she sat down at the dressing table, applied some moisturizing cream, and started braiding her hair.

She was skillful with her hands and braided it in no time.

Qin Suqing chastised her, "Tangtang, don’t be so blunt when you speak."

You’ll get smacked!

Lin Tang raised an eyebrow, "What’s wrong with being blunt?"

Qin Suqing was at a loss for words.

Fang Xiaoyun burst into laughter, "Qingqing is speechless, hahaha..."

Taking the rare opportunity to get together, Qin Suqing and Fang Xiaoyun stayed at the Lin Family’s house for the entire afternoon.

All three were young girls, either lying on the bed or propping up their chins at the desk, chatting idly about this and that, and time flew by quickly.

Li Xiuli knew that the two girls had come to give her Tangtang a birthday present and had prepared some excellent dishes just in time.

Not wanting the young girls to feel uneasy, she dished out the food separately and brought it to her daughter’s room for them to eat and chat together.

She handled things very neatly.

Fang Xiaoyun was truly envious, "Tangtang, your mom is so nice."

Not like her own mother—if she brought a friend home, her mother’s face could stretch to the floor.

Lin Tang knew Xiaoyun might be thinking about her own mother and gently patted her friend’s shoulder in comfort.

Fang Xiaoyun thought she was going to console her.

But then—

"You can’t change your mom, but you can choose to be a good mom yourself!" Lin Tang said calmly.

Fang Xiaoyun’s face turned bright red, "Tangtang~!!"

Such words were so embarrassing to hear.

Seeing Xiaoyun’s face turn as red as a monkey’s butt, Lin Tang quickly toned it down.

"Alright, alright, I’ll stop."

Fang Xiaoyun was afraid of Tangtang’s blunt mouth; not wanting to choke on her food, she kept her head down and ate fiercely, not daring to make any more comments.

After dinner, it was getting late, and Qin Suqing and Fang Xiaoyun planned to go back to the county.

Luckily, the gloomy sky had cleared up.

Lin Tang had work the next day and wasn’t comfortable letting her friends go back alone, so she decided to go back to the county with them.

She pushed out her sweetheart’s Love-brand bicycle.

Qin Suqing and Fang Xiaoyun saw Lin Tang’s bicycle, first startled, then shocked expressions on their faces.

"Tangtang, where did you get this bicycle from?"

As Qin Suqing spoke, she walked around, her eyes locked on the beamless bicycle without blinking.

This bicycle was so female-friendly, she was tempted!

Gu Yingzhou estimated Lin Tang’s height and adjusted the bike seat just right.

Lin Tang straddled the bike and sat down, her left foot just touching the ground.

A bright smile spread across her face as she said, "My partner gave it to me."

Qin Suqing and Fang Xiaoyun, "..."

Hehe.

They had nothing to say.

Lin Tang didn’t mind her friends’ silence and patted the back seat, "Qingqing, want me to give you a ride?"

Human curiosity toward the unknown is unstoppable, and without thinking, Qin Suqing threw an apologetic glance at Fang Xiaoyun and honestly climbed onto the back seat of Lin Tang’s bicycle.

Once seated, she exclaimed in surprise, "Tangtang, this is... so soft!"

Lin Tang lifted her chin slightly, a casual tone laced with provocation, "It’s pretty average."

Qin Suqing: "..." Rein in that smile on your face, and I might believe you a tiny bit.

"Xiaoyun, let’s go."

Lin Tang called out and was about to pedal away when Lin Qingmu grabbed the front of the bike.

Lin Qingmu put a box in the basket, saying, "Mom said to take this with you."

The item in the basket was a snack Tang Kairui has sent to Lin Tang.

"Oh, I knew I forgot something."

Lin Qingmu patted his sister’s head, took a step back, and instructed, "Go ahead, be careful on the road."

Lin Tang gestured an OK, pushed off with her foot, and the bike sped forward.

Seeing this, Fang Xiaoyun jumped on her bike and hurried to catch up.

In contrast to Lin Tang’s ease, she struggled mightily pedaling her heavier 28-inch bicycle from behind.

Despite Tangtang having a passenger, Xiaoyun couldn’t catch up, feeling a bit aggrieved.

Qin Suqing was chatting with Lin Tang when she turned back and saw Xiaoyun huffing and puffing, so she patted her back.

"Tangtang, slow down, Xiaoyun is falling behind."

Lin Tang turned her head and then slowed down.

Fang Xiaoyun finally caught up, gasping for breath.

"I’m exhausted, you guys were too fast." She sighed in misery.

Lin Tang said, "The bike is light, so it rolls quickly."

Fang Xiaoyun’s tone was tinged with a hint of envy, "I know your bicycle is one of a kind in the country, no need to show off."

Lin Tang couldn’t help chuckling at her friend’s words.

"...All right then."

With those words, the shadows of the two bicycles and three people gradually faded into the distance.

-

The next day.

Gu Yingzhou came to find Lin Tang, holding a bag in his hand.

When he arrived, Lin Tang was reading a book in the house.

On the table were red shrimp crackers, biscuits, and other snacks, and a cup of steamy milk tea.

The dried flowers on the windowsill were still splendid, adding a touch of brightness to the early winter.

Hearing the steady knocking, Lin Tang shuffled to the door in her slippers.

"You’re here! What’s in your hand?"

As she spoke, she stepped aside slightly, inviting the man into the courtyard.

The courtyard was cool, so they went straight into the room.

Gu Yingzhou scanned the room’s setup and chuckled, "The house looks quite comfortable!"

After a moment of appreciation, he said, "From now on, you can take care of the house decorations."

He had never thought much about it before, but looking at the arrangement of this room, he suddenly felt that having a woman’s touch really made a house feel like a home.
