I Might Have Fallen in Love With My Childhood Sweetheart
Chapter 85 - 81 Check-in

Chapter 85: Chapter 81 Check-in

This weekend, Li Qingmo invited Xie Ying’an and Song Shize to his place.

Song Shize, this guy, was invited by Li Qingmo for the first time, and he showed up before eight o’clock in the morning.

When Song Shize arrived, Mr. Li hadn’t left yet. Mr. Li had seen him several times when Song Shize was hospitalized and recognized him immediately.

"Yo, isn’t this the lad who didn’t want to be discharged?" Mr. Li greeted Song Shize with a smile.

The scene where Song Shize was causing a fuss about not leaving the hospital and was beat up by his dad was still vivid in Mr. Li’s memory.

Back then, he just found it funny. His daughter wanted to leave the hospital, but he insisted that she stay for a couple more days;

whereas the kid from the next bed wanted to stay in the hospital and was kicked out by his dad.

The contrast between the two families seemed like the two extremes.

Song Shize scratched his head awkwardly when the embarrassing incident was brought up, handed the fruit he brought to Mr. Li, and acted like a good kid in front of the parents: "Hello, Uncle Li."

Mr. Li accepted the fruit with polite manners: "You didn’t have to bring anything, you could have just come."

Song Shize showed a mouthful of white teeth with a smile: "It’s no trouble, uncle."

The two sat down on the sofa. Mr. Li’s smile paused, and he asked hesitantly: "Er... who are you here to see?"

Song Shize hurriedly responded: "Uncle, Qingmo invited me over to study together."

"Oh." Mr. Li’s face returned to its smiling state: "Good, good, good, you guys study well together."

Mr. Li had already made up his mind that if this kid said he was here for Qingran, he would give him a beating and send him packing.

Li Qingmo had been avoiding Qingran for a week and knew that it wasn’t a long-term solution, so he decided to face it directly. But alone with Qingran, he was still afraid she might mock him.

Just like how in the past when his rank was higher, he couldn’t resist teasing her.

When Li Qingmo came down the stairs, Mr. Li and Song Shize were chatting away merrily, practically becoming friends despite the age gap.

Seeing Li Qingmo come down, Mr. Li’s face became slightly stern: "What time is this to wake up? Look at young Song here; he came to find you early."

Li Qingmo scratched his head in confusion and said to Song Shize: "Didn’t we agree to meet at nine?"

Realizing it was indeed his son who had set the appointment, Mr. Li finally relaxed. He patted Song Shize’s shoulder: "Young Song, have a good time today."

Song Shize nodded and bowed with eager attitude.

Offering help when nothing’s wrong either makes one a crook or a thief. Mr. Li was still a bit worried. He turned to Li Qingmo and instructed: "Qingmo, take young Song out for some fun, and don’t disturb your sister’s studies and rest."

Li Qingmo nodded, "Got it, Dad."

Mr. Li then left for work.

Only after Mr. Li’s figure had disappeared far away and was completely out of sight did Song Shize wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and click his tongue: "Why do I feel like your dad is guarding against me?"

Li Qingmo chuckled coldly: "Just your imagination! How could my dad possibly be guarding against you? What’s there to guard against?"

"Pfft! Don’t believe me then, whatever." Song Shize looked over Li Qingmo’s shoulder and asked while looking around: "Where’s Li Qingran?"

Li Qingmo: "..."

I’m starting to believe my dad IS guarding against you.

Song Shize had long noticed the changes in Qingran; this guy has always loved beautiful women, especially Qingran after she became pretty, hitting every spot in his aesthetic tastes.

He was already itching to court Qingran again.

"I mean," Song Shize sat in front of Li Qingmo who was having breakfast, his interest piqued as he asked: "Have you noticed that your sister recently became even prettier than Luo Lan and Wen Siqi?"

Li Qingmo rolled his eyes at him: "No shit. When has my sister not been pretty?"

Song Shize spoke his mind: "That’s the brotherly filter talking. Actually, your sister used to be so-so, just prettier than the average girl, with a particularly innocent look. Of course, that was what I liked at that time."

Otherwise, Song Shize wouldn’t have been so crazy in pursuing her.

Li Qingmo warned him, "You’re taken now; better keep yourself in check."

"You mean Ruan Ruan?" Song Shize’s face was full of annoyance: "Our thing is just a game. I lost a bet to her, and she’s been lusting after my looks for a long time. It’s because of her tyranny that I had no choice but to..."

"Shut up!" Li Qingmo stuffed a crab roe bun into Song Shize’s mouth.

Now he somewhat regretted letting Song Shize come over. Though with Song Shize around, Qingran probably didn’t want to hang out in front of him, yet Song Shize’s chatter was truly annoying.

Abiding by the principle of not wasting food, Song Shize chewed on the crab roe bun in his mouth for a few bites, finding it quite delicious, so he stopped talking and sat earnestly at the dining table, competing with Li Qingmo for breakfast.

What Qingran saw when she came downstairs was this scene: two young men competing for buns, each with their mouths stuffed full.

Song Shize, with his mouth full, mumbled unclearly: "Li Qingmo, I’m a guest for fuck’s sake, can’t you give me a break?"

Li Qingmo did not stop his bun-grabbing speed; he was growing and naturally ate more: "No talk while eating!"

"Go to hell with no talk while eating... Holy shit!"

Song Shize looked up to see Qingran descending the stairs, and instantly felt the bun in his mouth becoming flavorless. He shoved all the buns toward Li Qingmo, even the half he was biting down on, pushing it over to Li Qingmo.

Then he ran towards Qingran with a flippant smile: "Little Qingran, you up?"

Qingran felt greasy from his approach and involuntarily took a step back.

The shameless Song Shize didn’t care about that, and circled around Qingran, nodding in praise: "You do look better in your own clothes. Wearing that torn-up uniform, no one could tell..."

His gaze lingered on Qingran’s chest for a second but, fearing being kicked out, the words coming to his lips changed at the last moment: "Tsk, such a tiny waist."

Xie Ying’an just happened to push the door open at this moment, and upon entering, he saw Song Shize hovering around Qingran, immediately furrowing his attractive brows.

Hearing the door sound, Song Shize also looked over and saw Xie Ying’an. He paused for a moment, then loudly questioned: "How come you just walk in without knocking?"

He had rung the doorbell that morning before coming in.

Xie Ying’an tossed his backpack on the couch and pulled Song Shize away from Qingran before saying, "I have a key."

"Fuck!!!" Song Shize’s pupils shook, somewhat in disbelief, he made a joining gesture with his index and middle finger: "Your folks know about you two?"

Xie Ying’an was taken aback by the comment. He looked towards Qingran, who wasn’t interested in talking to them and had already gone into the kitchen without giving them a glance.

"Yeah." Xie Ying’an gave an untruthful response and then glanced dismissively at Song Shize: "Didn’t you already know?"

Back at the hospital, Song Shize knew that it was Xie Ying’an’s mom keeping Qingran company. He had a suspicion written all over his face then.

Song Shize still had his doubts.

Xie Ying’an smirked at him, then grabbed his backpack and turned to ask Li Qingmo: "Is my room ready?"

"Yeah," Li Qingmo gestured to the second floor: "Go check it out for yourself. If anything else is needed, tell Aunt Liu to bring it over when she comes this afternoon."

Seeing Xie Ying’an’s backpack, Song Shize had a bad feeling, "What what what, what does that mean?"

Xie Ying’an ignored him and, seeing Qingran heading upstairs, quickly grabbed his bag and followed.

The young man and woman both wore white shirts; from the back, they looked remarkably well-matched.

Song Shize was now completely dumbfounded, "This is really...not leaving any opportunity for others..."
