Lin Shengyan: "..."
[Sigh, she's never mentioned, yet she's everywhere.]
Lin Shengyan: "?"
"That's enough, Lin Tingyue."
Lin Shengyan turned and walked towards the second floor.
He still prefers taking the stairs.
Lin Shengyan: "..."
Crack, it shattered.
The next morning, Lin Tingyue, sitting in the passenger seat, yawned. Ying An asked, "Didn't sleep well?"
"He probably slept too much."
"... Actually, it didn't have to be this early."
Lin Tingyue rolled down the car window a crack, letting the cold wind blow through her, which made her feel much more awake. She turned to look at Ying An and said, "Weren't we supposed to have a date all day?"
Ying An tightened his grip on the steering wheel. The word "date" came out of Lin Tingyue's mouth so easily, making his heart feel like it had turned into a ball of cotton.
"Yes, it's a date that lasts all day."
Lin Tingyue's eyes crinkled into a smile.
Ying An took Lin Tingyue to a large amusement park in City A. Even before entering, they could feel the crowds of people inside.
Wow, it's so popular!
Lin Tingyue teased, " Mr. Ying, aren't you afraid your fans will see this?"
Ying An, holding Lin Tingyue's hand, said, "I'm not afraid."
The warmth of Ying An's palm transferred to Lin Tingyue's body. Even though Ying An had held hands several times before, Lin Tingyue's heart was beating exceptionally fast this time.
Before long, Lin Tingyue's ears turned red.
Damn it.
Ying An have a meal.
[ Lin Tingyue, you're so pathetic in front of handsome guys!]
Ying An curled her lips into a smile.
" Tingyue, wait here for me for a moment, I'm going to change my clothes."
Lin Tingyue nodded somewhat slowly. "Okay."
[He called me Tingyue.]
Lin Tingyue suddenly fell into deep thought: what should she call Ying An?
While Lin Tingyue was waiting, a plush toy gave her two lollipops and a rose.
"Thanks."
The doll pointed behind her.
It was probably the amusement park's anniversary celebration; there were tons of interactive mascots. Lin Tingyue thought maybe she'd been chosen for some activity. She looked back—
A honey-colored bear was waving at her, not just a normal wave, but like a lucky cat, tilting its head as if it were smiling at Lin Tingyue.
Lin Tingyue walked over, looked into the teddy bear's eyes, and asked uncertainly, " Mr. Ying?"
"Yes, it's me."
The sound was coming from inside the doll, and it sounded a bit muffled.
Lin Tingyue excitedly cradled the teddy bear's head, " Mr. Ying, you..."
Ying An's pupils contracted. " Miss Lin, you might want to stay away from me."
Why? Is it too painful?
Lin Tingyue released her grip, took a step back, and looked at Ying An with concern.
Ying An said in a deep voice, "My heart is beating so fast it's starting to affect me."
Lin Tingyue: "!!!"
Lin Tingyue was taken aback for a moment before asking, "So this little bear is keeping me company today?"
"May I?"
"Of course."
Lin Tingyue took Ying An's hand, and after playing some games, it was almost noon, so Lin Tingyue went to queue up to buy ice cream.
Strawberry-flavored ice cream and Lin Tingyue's face appeared together in front of Ying An.
Lin Tingyue raised her hand and tapped the little bear on the head. "It's time to turn into a human. Bears can't eat ice cream."
The bear's eyes are Ying An's eyes.
At this moment, my eyes are glued to the screen.
After a while, Ying An finally said in a muffled voice, "Hmm."
After removing the bear headgear, Ying An looked refreshingly handsome. Lin Tingyue carefully observed him and, seeing that he was not uncomfortable, handed Ying An the ice cream.
The two sat on a bench by the flower bed, eating ice cream, the sunlight shining on them, making them feel exceptionally comfortable.
Ying An said, " Miss Lin."
"Um?"
"I checked, Valentine's Day is an auspicious day."
"What?"
Ying An's eyes were deep and thoughtful. "It's suitable for an official announcement."
Chapter 125
Lin Tingyue was stunned. Then she saw Ying An's eyes dim. Ying An didn't say anything, just looked at her silently.
Lin Tingyue: "..."
Why do I suddenly feel like I'm such a bad person?
Ying An pursed her lips, "If you haven't thought it through yet..."
Lin Tingyue pinched the ears of the bear headgear next to Ying An, then smiled and met Ying An's eyes, "Let's make it official then."
Ying An paused, "What?"
"Now that we're already together, it's okay to go public, isn't it?"
I can't let Mr. Ying misunderstand and think that I don't like him, can I?
A gentle breeze ruffled Lin Tingyue's hair, Ying An smiled. "Yes, that's how it is."
That evening, Ying An escorted Lin Tingyue home. Lin Shengyan, holding his phone, asked, "What did you two do? Weibo is down!"
Lin Tingyue blinked. "Official announcement."
Lin Tingyue took Ying An's hand, "We're together now."
Lin Shengyan: "..."
Does it really need to say the same thing twice?
He crossed his arms and said deliberately, " Lin Tingyue, fans these days are terrifying."
"Wouldn't it be terrifying if fans weren't properly regulated? I believe in Mr. Ying."
Mr. Ying smiled at Lin Tingyue.
Lin Shengyan speechless for once. These days, people's love-struck minds are truly terrifying. Lin Tingyue even had the nerve to criticize him.
"Besides," Lin Tingyue looked at Lin Shengyan, "My second brother should also protect me, right?"
... hateful.
Lin Shengyan, hands in his pockets, awkwardly said, "If I don't protect you, who will I protect?"
To be honest, Ying An's reluctance to officially announce their relationship is making him a little anxious. If Ying An doesn't genuinely love his sister, then he shouldn't blame him for being unfaithful.
Now that it's been officially announced, the Ying Family means they want to invite Lin Tingyue to their home for dinner.
Even before she was with Ying An, Lin Tingyue often visited the Ying Family, and this time she was unusually nervous.
She stood in front of the villa's gate, hesitant to go inside.
" Tingyue, what are you doing? Are you nervous?" Gu Xuebing asked with a smile.
" Sister Tingyue, what's there to be nervous about? If anyone should be nervous, it should be my brother." Ying Ning took Lin Tingyue's arm.
[Phew, it's just dating, nothing serious.]
They're still so great!
Gu Xuebing and Ying Ning exchanged a glance, both feeling a bit amused and exasperated.
Lin Tingyue asked, " Ningning, shouldn't you be at school today?"
"Yes, I knew Sister Tingyue was coming, so I took a day off to come back."
As soon as she got back, her mother kept a close eye on her, making sure her room was spotless. She initially thought it was an exaggeration, but then she was surprised to find that even the pillars outside the villa were gleaming.
Her father even wanted to have every single leaf wiped clean.
Although Ying Ning had never imagined what his sister-in-law would be like, after Lin Tingyue and Ying An got together, Ying Ning became convinced that Lin Tingyue and Ying An were a match made in heaven.
She really liked Lin Tingyue.
Gu Xuebing: "Alright, let's not stand here anymore, let's go inside."
Ying Ning chimed in, "Yes, yes, let's go in quickly, Mom and Dad have prepared lots of dishes."
Gu Shaohua and Ying Leshui were busy in the kitchen, cooking for themselves today. A kind-looking old man sat on the sofa.
Ying An whispered a reminder, "That's my grandma."
Lin Tingyue walked up to the old woman and said obediently, "Hello, Grandma."
Fan Xiuchun smiled and said, "Oh, what a pretty young girl."
Lin Tingyue felt embarrassed.
She took Lin Tingyue's hand and patted the empty seat next to her, "Sit next to Grandma."
"Good."
Ying Ning leaned closer to Fan Xiuchun and asked, "What about me, Grandma?"
"You sit next to Grandma too."
Ying An poured tea for Lin Tingyue. He noticed that Lin Tingyue was very popular and always had people around her, so he never got a turn. After pouring the tea, he sat down opposite Lin Tingyue and kept looking at her.
Having finished speaking, Fan Xiuchun encouraged the two young people to chat a bit more. Lin Tingyue walked over to Ying An and whispered, "Why are you staring at me?"
"Is that not allowed?"
"That's possible, that's possible..."
Lin Tingyue couldn't help but feel shy.
At the dinner table, Gu Shaohua and Fan Xiuchun each gave Lin Tingyue a pair of gold bracelets.
Fan Xiuchun put the hairpin on Lin Tingyue's head, patted Lin Tingyue's hand, and said, "Grandma knows you don't need this, but it's all from Grandma's heart."
"Thank you, Grandma, I like it very much."
Fan Xiuchun beamed with joy, "What else do you like? Grandma will take you to buy it later."
"Okay, Grandma."
"Mom," Gu Shaohua couldn't help but complain, "Let me at least say a few words to Tingyue."
Fan Xiuchun said, "You're just too impatient."
Gu Xuebing laughed heartily. After Gu Shaohua put the gold bracelet on Lin Tingyue, Gu Xuebing said, "Auntie doesn't have gold, but Auntie has a house."
Even if Ying An didn't end up with Lin Tingyue, Gu Xuebing would still give these things to Lin Tingyue. If it weren't for Lin Tingyue, she probably would have remained in the dark about that scumbag.
"Thank you, Auntie."
The gifts dazzled Lin Tingyue, her beautiful eyes Xingxing, making everyone laugh.
Still happy?
On the train, Ying An inquired.
"Receive
"I'm very happy with the gift, of course. And speaking of which, I have to thank you, Mr. Ying."
"What are you thanking me for?"
"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have received these gifts."
