Chapter 606: Chapter 605: Aren’t You Tired?

Lin Chun looked at Lin Xia with concern, while Lin Xia gave him a reassuring look.

Lin Xia and Song Zhiya went to the end of the corridor to talk.

Song Zhiya, with a guilty expression, got straight to the point, "Lin Xia! I’m sorry! I was being petty!"

Pretending to be ignorant, Lin Xia asked, "Cousin! Why would you say that?"

Licking her lips, Song Zhiya confessed, "I don’t know if you already know about Ji Man gossiping behind my back, saying Jiang Mingyuan likes you!"

Lin Xia nodded slightly, "I only found out about it recently too!"

Song Zhiya appeared even more embarrassed, "Lin Xia! I really feel ugly about what I did! Because of what she said, I still took it to heart! Please don’t be mad at me!"

Lin Xia smiled faintly, "Cousin! I’m not blaming you! But to tell you the truth, I’m still a bit disappointed!

Even though we haven’t known each other for long, I really considered you as my own cousin!

You can be open and honest with me about your thoughts.

What does it change for us to speak openly? But you never shared anything with me before..."

She didn’t have the ability to see through people’s hearts, so how could she know what had happened behind her back?

"Lin Xia! From now on, I will definitely say whatever I feel!

In fact, now that you are married and Jiang Mingyuan is with me, I shouldn’t have those wild thoughts.

Whom he originally liked was his right, whether his heart still harbors your shadow now and in the future is something I really can’t control!

But I can’t help feeling a bit jealous of you, I always feel that Jiang Mingyuan treats you too well! He always puts your matters first!

Sometimes I even think that if he could treat me half as well as he treats you, I would be completely satisfied!"

Song Zhiya finally voiced the words that had been pressuring her heart for a long time, believing herself to be superior to her cousin Lin Xia in every aspect, whether it be family background or education.

But Jiang Mingyuan’s heart still held Lin Xia, and she was truly afraid of being merely a substitute, someone reluctantly accepted by Jiang Mingyuan because he couldn’t have his first choice.

Lin Xia shook her head helplessly, "Cousin! If you keep thinking this way, you won’t feel happy!

I know what kind of person my second brother is, and he wouldn’t be with you if he didn’t truly like you!

Right now, you are in love and should be enjoying a sweet relationship, but instead, you keep comparing yourself to me. Don’t you find it exhausting?"

She and the second brother had no possible future together, yet Song Zhiya clung to those thoughts.

Over time, Jiang Mingyuan might also start feeling strained.

Then, whether the two of them could make it to the end was unknown.

Song Zhiya seemed pensive, while Lin Xia also remained silent without urging her.

After a while, Song Zhiya finally spoke, "Lin Xia! It’s still my pettiness! I won’t think that way anymore!"

"It’s good that you have come to understand!" Lin Xia knew that some things were best left unsaid, and ultimately, it would be up to Song Zhiya herself...

At the Lin Family home, Yu Hongli had come specially today to let them know about Lin Chun being admitted to the hospital.

He had known about it on the day itself, but Luo Yue had kept him from speaking out.

He knew what kind of people his uncles were; if they all rushed over, Lin Dong would definitely learn about his older brother’s hospitalization.

At that time, how could he focus on his exams?

Now that Lin Dong had finished his exams, there was nothing to worry about, especially since he knew that Lin Chun had already woken up. Thus, he had hurriedly taken leave from his unit to come over.

Upon hearing that Lin Chun had been hospitalized, Lin Aiguo was immediately anxious and panicked!

"What are you doing, child! Then why didn’t you say so earlier? It’s been several days before you came to tell us!"

Liu Shuqin also complained, "Exactly! That Lin Xia didn’t tell us, could you not have said a word quietly?"

Yu Hongli hurriedly explained, "Uncle! Grandma! It’s not that I didn’t want to tell you! Wasn’t Lin Dong taking his exams just a few days ago?

Moreover, Lin Xia specifically instructed me not to tell you guys!

Think about it, if all of you swarm there at once, with so many people and so much chatter, what if Lin Dong finds out? How could he concentrate on his exams then?"

"That makes sense! How is Lin Chun doing now? What exactly happened to him?"

"He has woken up! I heard he was assaulted as a form of revenge, a woman lied about being in a relationship with Lin Chun! Then, a guy..." Yu Hongli shared the details he had heard.

Lin Aiguo asked with concern, "Has that guy been arrested now?"

"Yes, he has been arrested! I heard it’s the son of a family that Lin Xia had previously rented a house from!"

Lin Aiguo was furious!

"It was that kid! I remember him, that little bastard! We definitely can’t let him off easily!" When they had visited before, that kid had even hit him!

"Definitely can’t let him off!"

"Could Lin Chun end up with any lasting issues?" Lin Aiguo rubbed the back of his head.

When he had been hit in the back of the head by Lin Qiang, he still felt uncomfortable on rainy or cloudy days.

Lin Chun had been attacked with a hammer, who knew if he would develop any lasting problems?

That would be a lifelong concern!

Yu Hongli could not make any promises, "Right now, none of us can say for sure!"

"We’ll go to the hospital tomorrow! I was just concerned about not affecting Lin Dong’s exams, which is why I haven’t visited yet!"

During the New Year, Lin Aiguo could tell Lin Xia was looking at him with disdain. How could he try to get involved at such a time?

He had to think of his youngest son as well.

These college entrance exams could decide his future.

If he went and caused unease and discontent, what if Lin Dong then performed poorly? Wouldn’t that be disastrous?

"Okay! My mom and they also planned to go early tomorrow! You all can go together!" Yu Hongli stayed a little longer before leaving.

Lin Aiguo and the others hurried to the hospital the next morning, each of them carrying something in their hands.

At that moment, only Lin Chun was in the hospital room.

Perhaps because the dream had felt too real, Lin Chun no longer showed the warmth he used to towards the Lin family members.

When he saw Lin Aiguo, he also lost that mentality of, no matter what Lin Aiguo did, he was still their father.

Lin Aiguo looked at Lin Chun’s calm and indifferent expression and felt unexpectedly saddened, "Lin Chun! You’re such a fool! When you face trouble, you should run! Why confront someone directly?"

The more he thought about it, the more he realized his eldest son was still too naive and straightforward.

"I thought he was a suspect in a case! Otherwise, I wouldn’t have chased him relentlessly," Lin Chun didn’t explain further.

Lin Aiguo angrily said, "That kid is nothing but trouble! Hopefully, they can lock him up for ten to eight years!" It would be best if they just executed him!

But he also understood that such a heavy sentence wasn’t likely.

"The details aren’t clear yet!"

Liu Shuqin was wiping her tears, seeking attention, "Lin Chun! What if something happened to you, how would your dad cope?"

To be frank, when their eldest eventually grew old, wouldn’t Lin Chun be the one to take care of him?

The daughters Lin Xia and Lin Qiu were married off; they didn’t need looking after;

and their oldest son Lin Dong was at university, and it was uncertain where he would end up living in the future.

Looking at it now, Lin Chun, the eldest son, seemed the most reliable.
