Chapter 595: Chapter 594 I Can’t Say

In the north, on a night in early May, the warmth of the day was gone.

The brisk little breezes that slapped against one’s body and face invariably brought a chill.

After dinner, Lin Chun and two others walked silently along the spacious avenue.

Lin Chun pushed his bicycle, with his sisters, Lin Xia and Lin Qiu, walking beside him.

Without waiting for his sisters to ask first, Lin Chun spoke, "I ran into Jiang Mingqing outside the store, and then we talked for a bit.

It just so happened that Jiang Mingyuan came out to look for someone, so that’s why we went in together!"

He knew that his appearance with the Jiang siblings at the same time was quite surprising.

He definitely needed to explain, but he didn’t want to go into too much detail.

Everything that had happened today was a memory he wanted to savor slowly afterward.

He had never dared to dream that one day he would chat with Jiang Mingqing from such close quarters.

Lin Xia and Lin Qiu exchanged glances, both noticing the cursory way Lin Chun had passed over the topic, clearly holding something back.

Lin Xia’s face showed a faint smile, "I see! We were wondering, you were so late after getting off work!

Then when you both came in together, I thought maybe you just happened to meet!"

Lin Qiu chimed in, "Yeah! Big brother! If you had come any later, my sister was going to call your workplace!"

Because they had agreed earlier to have dinner here, they would have definitely looked for Lin Chun if he hadn’t shown up.

Lin Chun chuckled, "I got out late from work! Otherwise, I would have been here earlier!"

Lin Xia seemed very curious, "So what did you two talk about, big brother? I remember you two don’t seem to be very familiar with each other!"

Lin Chun gave a perfunctory answer, "Not much! I saw her and just casually mentioned the case that happened near their school!"

"The one with the hammer to the head?" Lin Xia and Lin Qiu had both heard Lin Chun mention this incident before.

Lin Chun nodded, "Right! I thought since she was at No. 1 Middle School, I’d kindly remind her to be careful!"

Seeing that she couldn’t get anything else out of him and that saying more could actually be worse, Lin Xia changed the subject.

At this moment, Jiang Mingqing was sitting in Jiang Mingyuan’s car, driving towards No. 1 Middle School in the night.

Jiang Mingyuan asked casually, "How come you were still chatting with Lin Chun in the car?"

In his mind, his sister always had complaints about Lin Xia and, by extension, was not particularly warm to the returning Lin Chun.

When they first met, Jiang Mingqing spoke to Lin Chun as if they were quite friendly, but there was a reason for that.

He was well aware of why his sister did that—it was because Sheng Yijin had showed up with his girlfriend Xiao Pingping.

"It was just a coincidence!" Jiang Mingqing grew anxious, "Big brother! Don’t get any ideas! I’m telling you, even though he’s married, I’m not going to set my sights on someone like Lin Chun if I were to choose a partner!"

She knew her second brother was close with Lin Xia, and what if he thought it was perfect that she and the unmarried Lin Chun were together?

The reason she could chat with Lin Chun today was purely because of her mood.

"Alright! You make your own decisions about your life, I won’t interfere!" Jiang Mingyuan was just asking; he had no intention of playing matchmaker between them.

Because in his eyes, Lin Chun was no good match!

It wasn’t that he looked down upon Lin Chun’s lack of education, but how could a man who couldn’t even take care of his own siblings or support a household be worthy of his sister?

As for the finer details of the Lin Xia family, no one understood them better than he did.

Over the years, Lin Chun was absent for three years at a stretch.

Whether he was at home or after he returned, what contributions had he made for their shared home?

There used to be a time when he felt quite sorry for Lin Xia—burdened with such a brother, she essentially became the elder sister.

Jiang Mingqing breathed a sigh of relief, "Second brother! You better keep your word! And please don’t mention this to mom! You know she is so eager for me to find someone; she can hardly wait to find a man to marry me off!"

"She and Lin Xia are so close! What if, in desperation, she resorts to anything..."

Just the thought of it was terrifying.

Jiang Mingyuan saw her reaction and smiled, shaking his head, "Don’t worry! I won’t tell! Besides, even if I did, our mom wouldn’t mind! You were away at college in another city in the past few years and didn’t really know what was going on!

Lin Chun is actually not a bad person, honest and sincere, but he used to be even more timid than now..."

He knew his mother well.

She really did like Lin Xia and would have loved for Lin Xia to be her daughter-in-law.

But as for Lin Chun, her impression was extremely poor.

What mother would feel secure about her daughter marrying a man who shirks responsibility? That would be like knowingly sending someone into a pit of fire, wouldn’t it?

Jiang Mingqing patted her chest, "Big brother, I can rest easy with your words!"

"Are you going tomorrow?" Jiang Mingyuan asked.

Jiang Mingqing’s eyes dimmed instantly, and she turned to look out of the car window, "I’m not going! Why should I? To see for myself how happy he is?

If today hadn’t been a day off at work and considering our relationship and that the reception was at your shop, I really wouldn’t have wanted to come!"

"Good! Then head back and sleep early! Don’t think too much! Xiaoqing!

Big brother still feels the need to give you a piece of advice. Sometimes liking someone doesn’t necessarily mean you have to be with them. It’s also not bad to stand silently by the side and watch her happy!

Jiang Mingqing snorted, "Big brother! Don’t think I can’t tell who you’re implying. She’s already married, untouchable!

You’re dating her cousin, so you better focus on your own relationship!"

Although she still couldn’t get close to Lin Xia, she thought rather highly of Song Zhiya, Lin Xia’s cousin.

After all, her family’s circumstances were there for all to see.

Her big brother only had a middle school education, which wasn’t as good as her college. Besides, in terms of family conditions, they were also much inferior; speaking honestly, it was rather her family that was reaching up to theirs.

Jiang Mingyuan laughed bitterly, "I’ve never thought of causing destruction! I’m just advising you based on my own experiences!"

If he did want to cause trouble, he would have taken action.

But he knew deeply that Lin Xia didn’t love him, and whatever he did would be in vain.

Better to forget each other in the wide world and be content as siblings!

Jiang Mingqing sighed emotionally, "Our old Jiang family really does produce lovesick fools, both you and me.

It seems that only our eldest brother managed to marry and have children without any trouble..."

Jiang Mingyuan fell silent.

The next day was Sheng Yijin’s wedding day.

Lin Xia was grateful to Sheng Yijin for helping her out with many things over the years, so she and Lin Qiu went to his home early in the morning. Lin Chun had work to do at his unit and wasn’t present.

At that time, a wedding was not as grand as it would be later on.

Many newlyweds used bicycles to bring the bride home.

Sheng Yijin’s family had some connections, not only having Jiang Mingyuan’s car but also arranging for a red flag sedan.

Two vehicles went to the bride’s home in great style to pick up the bride.

The bride, Xiao Pingping, Lin Xia had seen her before.

On the most beautiful day in a woman’s life, none compares to being the bride.

Lin Xia stood among the excited crowd, watching the handsome groom and the bashful, beautiful bride adhere to customs, washing their hands, and filling her heart with well-wishes...
