Chapter 194: Chapter 193 What Does It Have to Do with You?

Jiang Mingqing was quite perceptive. Even though she had started working now, how much could she earn in a month to make ends meet? Therefore, she still depended on her elder brother to provide for her expenses.

Besides, she had noticed that her elder brother was now completely infatuated with Lin Xia and had even moved to live nearby.

He would set up his stall during the day and also attend Yecheng University with her at night. When it came to pursuing a girl, she really admired her elder brother now.

However, she had also seen that man surnamed Lu, not knowing what his relationship with Lin Xia was.

"Yeah! Let’s go for a walk after dinner!" Lin Xia greeted and then fell silent, no longer exhibiting her former enthusiasm.

Lin Qiu’s expression too was indifferent; Jiang Mingqing no longer seemed unapproachable in her eyes.

Jiang Mingqing noticed that the Lin sisters had objections to her, so she pursed her lips and no longer pushed herself forward.

Lin Dong was somewhat confused; he did not know what had happened here.

Not wanting the situation to become awkward, he walked beside Jiang Mingqing and chatted with her.

While walking, Jiang Mingyuan said to Lin Xia, "Lin Xia! We’re not going to Yecheng University tomorrow, so we have some time. How about we go watch a movie? We can bring Lin Qiu and Lin Dong!"

He knew that it was impossible to go watch a movie with Lin Xia, just the two of them.

Hearing the mention of watching a movie, Lin Qiu’s eyes lit up, "Elder brother! What movie?"

Even though movie tickets were only two or three dimes, they had never gone to one.

Jiang Mingyuan answered with a smile, "’Escape from the Tiger’s Mouth’!"

Lin Dong’s attention was also caught, "Elder brother, I heard from my classmate that it’s really funny! Elder sister..." He looked pleadingly; he really wanted to go see it.

Lin Xia initially wanted to refuse, but seeing her siblings’ glowing eyes full of desire and thinking of Ji Man, she nodded in agreement.

"Alright! Let’s go watch a movie tomorrow evening!"

Instantly, both Lin Qiu and Lin Dong were overjoyed, and Jiang Mingyuan also had a smile on his face.

He thought, even though Lin Qiu and Lin Dong would be there, this would still be the first time he was going to watch a movie with Lin Xia.

Jiang Mingqing did not suggest joining them, as she had already seen the movie. Besides, she did not want to be with a group of people, to avoid making everyone feel uncomfortable.

Afterward, everyone headed home.

While Lin Xia was in the restroom, Lin Dong took the opportunity to ask Lin Qiu what exactly was going on.

"Elder sister, I felt something was off between you and Sister Xiaoqing!"

It turned out, he remembered his elder sisters always being polite and respectful toward Sister Xiaoqing, but this time he sensed coldness and distance.

Lin Qiu then explained what had happened to him.

"... I don’t know exactly what she said to elder sister, but it definitely wasn’t anything good because she specifically came over to apologize for it later when Brother Lu was there too.

It was actually Brother Sheng who told elder sister not to tell her elder brother about it, fearing that something might happen to Aunt Zhao. It seemed like she blamed it all on elder sister..."

Lin Dong’s expression kept changing, "How could she blame elder sister for that? Isn’t it for Aunt Zhao’s sake too not to tell her?"

He was somewhat unable to accept that Sister Xiaoqing would speak about his elder sister in such a way.

Lin Qiu concurred, "Who knows!"

At that moment, Lin Xia returned to the room, and the two stopped talking about these matters.

The next day, Lin Dong specifically went to No. 8 Middle School to find Haizi to come over and play.

Haizi had communicated with Lin Dong earlier, so he didn’t go home this week.

Lin Xia had bought groceries in the morning and after setting up her stall, she asked Jiang Mingyuan to watch it while she went home to cook before ten o’clock.

Before leaving, she specifically told Mingyuan not to buy any food and to wait for her to bring him a meal when she returned.

Mingyuan happily agreed, knowing full well how good Lin Xia’s cooking was.

But ever since those incidents a while ago, Lin Xia had been keeping a certain distance from him, so sometimes he felt embarrassed about going to her house to eat.

The more he interacted with Lin Xia, the more he discovered her merits, and the more he found himself helplessly falling for her.

Mingyuan, looking at the two stalls, couldn’t help but smile broadly at the thought of eating the meal Lin Xia had personally cooked by noon.

Lin Xia returned home, where Lin Qiu had already said he wouldn’t be back for lunch, so she cooked alone.

She specifically made braised pork, stir-fried celery with pork, spicy tofu, mixed cold dishes, and stewed fish.

Haizi kept praising Lin Xia’s cooking skills, "Big sister! Your cooking is so delicious! A million times better than my mom’s!"

"Of course! No one can compare to my big sister’s cooking!" Lin Dong boasted proudly, everything his sister cooked was delicious.

"Eat up!" Lin Xia said, watching them wolfing down the food, she couldn’t help but shake her head and laugh, thinking these two surely didn’t eat well usually at the cafeteria.

But their school was indeed too far from home.

If they ran home to eat every day, it would waste too much time.

"Haizi! If you want to eat during the holidays, just come home, and I’ll cook for you!"

Haizi swallowed the braised pork in his mouth, his face oily, "Thank you, big sister!"

Lin Xia quickly finished eating, then she packed two aluminum lunch boxes.

One lunch box contained several dishes, and the other contained rice.

Then she told them to eat slowly at home and to clean up the table and bowls afterward.

She went directly to the stall to deliver Mingyuan’s meal.

When Lin Xia arrived at the stall, Mingyuan was selling goods.

"Big brother! You must be starving! Eat it while it’s hot! I’ll take over selling!"

Mingyuan joked with her, "To wait for this meal, it was worth starving!"

Lin Xia, while greeting the customers, talked to him, "Big brother! Eat more, I filled a whole lunch box with rice for you!"

Since the two of them had started running the stall together, they now went to Yecheng University every evening.

Although she said she wanted to keep a reasonable distance from Mingyuan, the two of them were together every day and had always been friends with a good relationship. Big brother helped her with everything, and she couldn’t maintain indifference all the time.

Moreover, big brother had never revealed that he liked her, only that time Jiang Mingqing said those things, sometimes she wondered if Jiang Mingqing was overthinking.

Mingyuan slowly ate the dishes Lin Xia had made, feeling that they were so delicious he wished he could eat them every day.

His gaze occasionally turned to Lin Xia, who was busy selling goods. If he could marry her in the future, even if they didn’t have a rich and luxurious life, just this simple, plain happiness would feel extraordinarily beautiful to him.

Right then, Qian Chunli, with Lin Qiang and Lin Yu in tow, had walked several laps around the greenhouse before finally spotting Lin Xia.

Qian Chunli, out of breath, started shouting even before she reached the stall, "Well, Lin Xia! So you’re running a stall here?"

They had walked around here many times and had passed this spot before, but since they hadn’t seen Lin Xia, they didn’t know which stall was hers.

Now they had finally found her!

"What does my stall here have to do with you?" Lin Xia was startled by their appearance, but she quickly calmed down.

From the moment she decided to do business here, she had imagined that these people would come looking for her sooner or later; it was just a matter of time.

Mingyuan put down his chopsticks and stood up, looking coldly at Lin Qiang.
