Chapter 461: Chapter 3 Uncomfortable

After pushing Wang Meilan into the guest room, Lin Xiaoguai felt suffocated and asked Jian’an to go to sleep. She, however, sat on the couch without wanting to move an inch.

Shen Chi found it odd that the lights downstairs were on as he approached the house from the yard, guessing someone might have forgotten to turn them off. But when he pushed the door open, to his surprise, it was Lin Xiaoguai sitting motionless on the couch.

He paused, then quickly walked over and sat beside her, asking with some concern, "What’s wrong?"

Usually, when he worked this late, Wanwan wouldn’t wait up until midnight. It had nothing to do with how good their relationship was; it was just that she had things to do during the day, and if she stayed up late, she would be tired the next day. He was no longer the petulant young boy who needed to trouble her like this.

Especially these past few days, when she was unwell, he could hardly bear it.

In fact, Lin Xiaoguai had seen him come in a while ago, but she was too lazy to move. Hearing his question, she just leaned her head on Shen Chi’s shoulder and said in a muffled voice, "I’m not feeling well."

"Not feeling well?" Shen Chi instinctively reached out to touch her forehead.

Lin Xiaoguai shook her head and pulled down his hand, "It’s not that, it’s an emotional discomfort."

"Who’s upset you?" Shen Chi frowned.

Lin Xiaoguai sighed and recounted the events that had occurred previously. In the end, she said angrily, "How could Wang Meilan do that? Aunt doesn’t have many days left. Can’t she put aside her scheming for now? I just don’t understand how she doesn’t have anyone else in her heart at all. Aunt is her grandmother, who has always been loving toward her from childhood. Yet, at this point, she still has the heart to think about such things."

Shen Chi comforted her by stroking her back. He knew these past few years hadn’t been easy for her.

Wanwan seemed indifferent but actually took feelings very seriously; she was a person with a rich emotional world, just hidden behind her personality. The consecutive loss of close relatives was something she had always found hard to accept. Even if she seemed fine on the surface, he guessed she must be very upset inside.

The impending loss of another relative, compounded by Wang Meilan’s behavior at such a time, must feel particularly unforgivable to Wanwan.

"When Little Niangao comes back, we’ll rush over," Shen Chi said as he hugged her.

Lin Xiaoguai nodded, but the corners of her eyes were a bit moist.

She thought that when they got old, she must pass away before Shen Chi. Otherwise, if the passing of close relatives could make her so upset, if it were Shen Chi...

She didn’t want to imagine any further, turned, and hugged Shen Chi, burying herself in his embrace.

"By the way, can you get time off the day after tomorrow?"

"Don’t worry, I notified them half a month ago. There won’t be any problems," Shen Chi said softly.

"That’s good," Lin Xiaoguai sighed in relief.

Two days later, Lin Xiaoguai and her family, with Wang Meilan, boarded a plane to Shanghai, where they met up with Shen Yinian, who had come from N City.

"Mom!" Shen Yinian, who was now taller than Lin Xiaoguai, hurried forward and hugged her.

After their embrace, Lin Xiaoguai looked him over and said, "You’ve darkened, lost weight. Are you not used to the food in the school cafeteria, or is studying too exhausting?"

"Mom~" Shen Yinian couldn’t help but laugh, "Stop talking like that. You don’t know, when I came back from school last semester, all the parents at the train station were saying ’you’ve darkened, you’ve lost weight’ to their kids. One of my dormmates ate so much at the snack street he put on more than ten pounds, and when he went home, his mom said the same thing."

Lin Xiaoguai also burst into laughter and lightly knocked on his head, "Always quick to jest with me."

To go from Shanghai to Z Province, they had to take a train. They purchased tickets for that afternoon.

When they arrived at the provincial city, it was already night. It was Shen Xiu who came to pick them up at the train station.

"It’s already late. You should see Aunt Lin tomorrow," Shen Xiu said while leading them out of the train station. "Aunt Lin was originally staying in our hospital, but since the doctors said treatment could no longer be effective, and she insisted on going home, she’s already been discharged. Though it’s just an hour or two from here to her place, I suggest you first get a good rest and visit tomorrow. After all, at this time, everyone is resting, and you’ll disturb them by going now."

Shen Chi nodded, "We’ll do as you say, and rest at your place tonight."

Shen Xiu smiled, "The rooms are all ready. I promise you’ll be satisfied."

"What about Tiantian, let alone Jiahui? Why would you come out alone on a late night like this?" Shen Chi said with some dissatisfaction.
