Chapter 151 - 150: Unexpected

Chapter 151: Chapter 150: Unexpected

The tall man who entered was none other than the man named Lu Zheng, whom she had encountered several times on the train.

Lin Xia was dumbfounded. How could he appear here?

When Lu Zheng saw Lin Xia, he wasn’t very surprised; he nodded slightly as a greeting.

Then he handed over the net bag he was carrying to Lin Xia, which contained canned milk powder and such.

Lin Xia mechanically took it, staring straight at him, really a bit too stunned to react to his presence.

Lu Zheng looked at Lin Chun and asked, "Lin Chun, how’s it going?"

"Lu Gong, much better! Thank you for coming to see me!" Lin Chun looked at him with eyes full of intense admiration and excitement.

Lu Zheng slightly nodded his chin, his lips curving into a faint smile, "Hmm, recover well!"

Lin Xia, standing nearby, was flabbergasted. He and her elder brother worked at the same place? What a coincidence!

Lu Zheng noticed Lin Xia’s stunned expression and a smile flickered across his lips. Seemingly casual, he asked, "Is this your family?"

"Yes! This is my older sister, Lin Xia! Xiaoxia, this is our company’s engineer, Lu Gong!" Lin Chun hurriedly introduced them.

"Hello, Lu Gong!" Lin Xia greeted softly.

She wasn’t sure if she should mention now that they had met before and even exchanged names.

"Hmm, hello! I didn’t expect it to be such a coincidence!"

Hearing him say that, she echoed sentimentally, "Yes, who would have thought!" The connection between them really was quite profound.

Time and again they had met, and now her elder brother was even a colleague of his.

Lin Chun was puzzled. "Xiaoxia, you’ve met before?"

Why did it feel somewhat unusual between his older sister and Lu Gong, or was it his misconception?

"Hmm, we met on the train!" Lu Zheng said nonchalantly, "Lin Chun, take good care of yourself! I’ll come to see you when I have time!"

"Sure, Lu Gong, take care!" Lin Chun, glancing at Lin Xia, prompted her, "Xiaoxia! Could you please see him out?" He himself was unable to move.

"Ah, sure!" Lin Xia had just been distracted, and she quickly came to her senses and followed Lu Zheng to see him off.

Once outside the hospital room, Lin Xia looked up at Lu Zheng and asked, "I really didn’t expect you to be... Did you already know he was my elder brother before?"

Otherwise, why wasn’t he too surprised?

Lu Zheng didn’t deny it, "Hmm, I found out by chance!"

Lin Xia pursed her lips, "It really is quite the coincidence! That... may I ask what will happen to my elder brother after he recovers? Can I take him home once he’s healed?"

She was thinking, once her elder brother recovered, if the company agreed, she would take him back home.

It seemed unsafe for him to stay outside at the moment.

Lu Zheng’s expression changed slightly, and he spoke sincerely, "He was injured while saving someone, so the company won’t let him down after he recovers!"

"Ah..." Lin Xia could hear the implication in his words, and hence she did not delve deeper into the conversation.

Lu Zheng looked at her teary big eyes and red nose, appearing like a little kid who needed protecting. Then, as he slightly lowered his head in disappointment, he felt an inexplicable tightness in his heart, "Take good care of your brother! I’m leaving! Goodbye!"

"Goodbye!" Lin Xia waved to him as he walked away with his tall figure. It was only after he had disappeared into the distance that she returned to the hospital room.

"Xiaoxia! How did you come to know Lu Zheng?"

"We don’t really know each other. I just encountered him on the train a couple of times..." Lin Xia didn’t really want to bring up those encounters. She looked at her older brother’s lips and asked with concern, "Big brother! Are you very thirsty? I’ll get you some water right now!"

Lin Xia looked at the hot water kettle on the bedside cabinet. She poured a cup of water for Lin Chun and gently spoon-fed it to him.

Lin Chun really was thirsty, and he felt much better after drinking some water.

"Xiaoxia! Haven’t you eaten anything yet?"

"It’s okay! I brought some food in my bag! I’ll go out and buy some stuff soon! Big brother! Can you eat anything now?" She hadn’t brought much with her in her hurry.

"I can drink some thin porridge! I’m not hungry yet! Let’s just talk for a while!" Lin Chun had not seen his younger sister for half a year.

They only corresponded occasionally, so he was eager to talk with her more.

Hearing that he was not hungry, Lin Xia was in no rush. She then pulled over a chair and started to chat with him.

"Big brother! Do you want to know what’s going on at home?"

"Of course! I really miss you all. Although I’ve seen letters from the three of you, I bet there are many things you haven’t mentioned, right?"

Lin Chun himself only wrote about good news, never the bad, so he understood that his siblings probably did the same.

Lin Xia began to tell him. "We didn’t say much in the letters because we were afraid it would distract you! The day you left, Dongzi and I were planning to go back to return the household registration book. When we were coming out, we ran into Qian Chunli..."

She briefly explained the sequence of events to him. As she got to the part where Lin Aiguo was causing a huge uproar at their house with Lin Qiang and Qian Chunli, Lin Chun listened with mounting tension.

When he heard that Lin Qiang had suddenly knocked Lin Aiguo to the ground, Lin Chun almost sat up in shock, "How could such a thing happen? Why would Lin Qiang do that? Dad is okay, right?"

Lin Xia scoffed, "He’s fine! I went to the hospital to see him afterward! He was cursing people with full vigor! Big brother! I really shouldn’t be telling you all this! But if I didn’t, you’d still think he was okay.

He claimed he was beaten by Lin Dong. When I heard that, I knew there was something I didn’t know. It must have been what Qian Chunli and her people said!

Later, I told him the truth. Qian Chunli tried to scratch me, but I hit her!"

"Good hit! It was clearly her son who caused the trouble, and yet she still has the nerve to blame our Dongzi!" Lin Chun really supported this; he had changed from how he used to be.

Since coming here, he had shed some of his old thinking.

"Big brother! You really have changed! I’m actually glad about this change! Alright, let’s not talk about them anymore! Let’s discuss something that will make you happy!

You know about Xiaoqiu learning tailoring, right? If she masters it, she could start her own small tailor shop next year. Keeping the home and managing it isn’t too bad, right?

Dongzi has really been studying hard now. During the winter vacation, Sister Xiaoqing, Zhao Daying’s college-going daughter, was helping Dongzi with his homework. It really motivated him, and now, he’s full of energy to try for First Middle School;

On New Year’s Eve, I said if he can’t make it to First Middle, No. 8 Middle School would be fine too, but he said I didn’t believe in him and accused me of being discouraging!"

Lin Xia rambled on. Lin Chun listened with taste, occasionally pursing his lips in amusement.

After more than half a year away from home, he had missed his siblings countless times. Now, finally seeing her in person and having this warm, friendly chat, he even felt that getting hurt in a rescue was not so bad.

Lin Chun listened for a long time but didn’t hear Lin Xia mention herself, even though she had also written to him, but it was all fleeting mentions, "Xiaoxia! What about you? How are you?"
