Chapter 190 - 190 186 Lin Xiaoqing First Update!!

190: Chapter 186: Lin Xiaoqing (First Update!!) 190: Chapter 186: Lin Xiaoqing (First Update!!) “Sister, Lin Xiaoqing!”

Lin Tian stared at the familiar yet unfamiliar words on the mobile phone screen, his expression spaced out, his eyes somewhat lost, as a complex whirl of feelings enveloped his heart.

There were nearly fifty missed calls from Lin Xiaoqing, she must have been so anxious she didn’t know what to do.

His parents at home must have been frantic as well.

But, the mix of nervousness, anticipation, excitement, and other complex emotions made Lin Tian’s hand, poised over the callback button, hesitate for quite a while.

“Is that a call from your sister?

Lin Xiaoqing, that’s a beautiful name!”

At this moment, Gao Yang Jiajia, sitting next to him in the car, turned her head, glanced at Lin Tian’s mobile phone, and after a slight hesitation said, “With so many missed calls, she must be extremely worried.

Call her back quickly!”

Hearing this, Lin Tian snapped back to reality, took a deep breath, and pressed the callback button.

The ringing on the other end of the line lasted barely a second before the call was answered.

“Brother, is that you?

What happened to you, where did you go?

Why didn’t you answer your phone?

Brother…please, talk to me…”

An enchanting and melodious voice came rushing from the other end of the phone, like the tinkling of a spring or the song of an oriole, intoxicating to the soul, yet now tinged with deep anxiety and a faint hint of weeping.

“Xiao…Xiaoqing!”

Listening to the torrent of anxious words from his sister on the other end, Lin Tian felt an inexplicable pain in his heart and after opening his mouth, it took him a long time to utter two words with difficulty.

“Huh~~ Brother, you scared me to death!

I’ve been calling for a day and a night and couldn’t get through!”

Lin Xiaoqing let out a sigh and spoke with some reproach.

“Xiaoqing, it was my fault this time, for not making a call to you first!

My mobile phone broke yesterday, and I only got it fixed today!”

At this moment, Lin Tian relaxed as well.

Having such a sister, he suddenly felt an indescribable happiness, but he still told a kind lie because if he told her the truth, Xiaoqing would never believe it!

And believing it or not was one thing, Lin Tian was afraid that his sister would worry even more, thinking he had lost his mind or something.

“Xiaoqing, are mom and dad okay?

You sound so worried, is something wrong?”

Lin Tian spoke again, asking with a smile.

“Mom and dad are fine!

I called you earlier this time because I want to come and visit you for the May Day holiday!

It’s almost the end of March now, so it’s only a month until I can see you, brother!”

Lin Xiaoqing’s cheerful voice came through the phone, her excitement tangible, “Also, mom and dad said that this time I should visit Aunt Liu’s house with you and check on her too.

When dad was paralyzed and bedridden, most of the medical expenses were covered by Aunt Liu, and back then she even offered mom a job at her company to earn some money for dad’s treatment!

But mom didn’t take it because no one would have been able to take care of dad, and we needed to keep our schooling going smoothly, so she refused!”

“Eventually, Aunt Liu helped mom out with some funds, and mom managed to start a small business successfully!

So this time, we must properly thank Aunt Liu!

And all this was what mom told me yesterday!”

“Besides, the reason I stopped school and came home, apart from allowing you to attend school without worries, was to help mom!

Brother, don’t feel any burden.

Now I am helping mom while continuing my studies, and I will be able to take the college entrance examination directly this year, my scores certainly won’t be bad!

Brother, you have to work hard, I’ll come to see you over the May Day holiday!

You need to put in a good effort with your studies!”

After listening to his sister Xiaoqing’s words, Lin Tian’s heart clenched tightly, and he couldn’t help but feel his eyes misting over.

“Okay, I will definitely get good grades!

I’ll be waiting for you to come over the May Day holiday,”

Lin Tian nodded emphatically, promising.

“Then Xiaoqing will hang up now, brother, work hard!”

The pleasant voice disappeared from the phone, and Lin Tian still felt somewhat dazed.

“Your sister loves you very much, you’re truly lucky!”

At this time, Gao Yang Jiajia rested her chin on her knees, her beautiful eyes filled with a touch of sadness, looking at Lin Tian enviously and saying.

Hearing her say that, Lin Tian couldn’t help but feel a mix of pride, satisfaction, and a bit of guilt—was this what family love was?

“And your family?”

Lin Tian glanced at Gao Yang Jiajia and asked with a smile.

“I don’t know!”

Gao Yang Jiajia shook her head, her face displaying both a blank and sorrowful expression as she softly spoke, “Ever since I can remember, I’ve been at Wuya Mountain.

I’ve never seen my parents!

Master said that I was picked up.

I came to study at Meiling High School this time because Wuya Mountain was taken over, and I could only come here to study.

But, it was all arranged by my senior sister…”

“I’m sorry!”

At that moment, Lin Tian could feel the other person’s mental state; in his previous life, he had been an orphan himself.

That feeling of being all alone in the world was something many people couldn’t truly understand.

For a while, the atmosphere in the car fell into silence.

Soon, the two arrived in Bin City.

After getting out of the car, Lin Tian dropped Gao Yang Jiajia off at Chongming District before taking a cab back to Minghu Lakefront.

On the way, Lin Tian took out his mobile phone again, redialing the strange number that had called four or five times.

As soon as the phone rang, Ning Hanyan’s pleasant yet angry voice immediately came through, “Lin Tian, don’t you want to go to school anymore?

The comprehensive exam is tomorrow, and you actually skipped classes!

Hmph, if you don’t do well this time, I will directly kick you out of the class!”

“Teacher Ning, I…”

Lin Tian hurriedly began to speak, intending to explain.

But the beautiful teacher Ning Hanyan didn’t give Lin Tian the chance to speak and hung up abruptly.

The comprehensive exam is tomorrow?

Lin Tian was shocked; he had nearly forgotten about it.

Previously, he had even intended to take first place in the comprehensive exam.

However, it was not too late.

As for the knowledge of high school courses, he had mastered at least ninety percent of it.

Regarding the calls from Xu Tangge and Tang Qianqian, Lin Tian did not redial.

He headed straight back to Minghu Lakefront, planning to go back and clarify everything.

What frustrated Lin Tian was that he couldn’t open the door; it had been locked from the inside.

“Lin Tian, get lost!”

A sudden roar came from the villa, Xu Tangge bellowed, “I don’t want a bodyguard like you!

You can have your free time and fun, even for physical needs!

But to neglect your duties just to be with other women, and not returning home for a whole day and night!

Wait until May Day, my grandfather might come, and I’ll persuade him.

Then I will terminate the contract with you and pay you the penalty.

Tonight, you are not allowed to come in!”

Terminate the contract?

That’s fine!

Now that I have enough funds and channels for cultivation resources, I don’t have to stay here all the time.

It’s a good opportunity for me to focus on cultivation!

Lin Tian could hear the rage in Xu Tangge’s words; she was truly angry.

This time Lin Tian knew he was at fault for not fulfilling his responsibilities, so he didn’t retort.

He sighed and walked out of Minghu Lakefront, heading towards Guanlan Lake.

Inside the villa.

“Little Tangtang, are you… is this really okay?”

Tang Qianqian leaned at the window, watching Lin Tian’s leaving figure, a trace of sadness on her face, “Shouldn’t we ask him first?

Maybe it’s a misunderstanding!”

“I…”

Xu Tangge opened her mouth but found herself at a loss for words.

Her eyes reddened, and her pretty face carried a look of desolation.

“Little Tangtang, do you like Lin Tian?

Is that why you can’t accept that he was with another woman?”

Tang Qianqian looked at Xu Tangge and pouted, “Actually, you’re too hasty!

What if we misunderstood him?

Or maybe he had other things to do?”

Hearing this, Xu Tangge’s body shuddered slightly, her face turned pale, but then her pretty face hardened as she said, “I don’t like him!

Next month, just let him go!

And never see him again!”

Watching her best friend’s demeanor, Tang Qianqian’s face showed a complex expression and glanced outside the window, Lin Tian, Little Tangtang has fallen for you.

I hope you handle it well.

But if one day you have to make a choice, what will you choose?
