Chapter 33: Chapter 33, Gentle and Considerate Sister-in-law
"You, why are you all wet?"
Xu Wendong had just gotten home when Lin Yiren froze and, without thinking much, went to the bathroom to grab a clean towel and placed slippers in front of Xu Wendong.
"You didn’t come back in the rain, did you?" Lin Yiren’s face was full of concern, "How could a fool not know to hide from the rain? Why didn’t you take a taxi back? What if you catch a cold?"
Xu Wendong was a bit at a loss due to his sister-in-law’s warmth, he even doubted whether the sister-in-law in front of him was a different person. After all, Lin Yiren used to be so strong and cold towards him, when had she ever shown him such care?
He found it very uncomfortable.
Especially in her current attire, wearing a white casual outfit, looking like a young wife of the Gu Family, in stark contrast to her previous sexy strap dresses.
He took the bath towel handed to him by his sister-in-law and awkwardly smiled, "It’s okay, I’m in good shape and won’t get sick."
"You should still cherish your body," Lin Yiren softly said, "Hurry up and take a hot shower, I’ve made dinner, though I don’t know if it suits your taste."
"Oh, okay." Xu Wendong, feeling very uneasy, headed towards the bathroom, noticing the dining table as he passed the dining room adorned with six exquisite dishes. Although they were all common household dishes, they were full of color, aroma, and flavor.
It was evident that this was a well-prepared dinner.
Xu Wendong was a bit stunned by the abnormal change in his sister-in-law’s behavior, which led him to suspect if she had put something in the food as he could not explain why she was treating him so well otherwise.
Just as Xu Wendong opened the shower to wash himself, Lin Yiren’s gentle voice sounded, "Wendong, I went to the mall today and bought you some clothes and underwear; the change of clothes is on the door handle, take it yourself later."
"Oh, okay, thank you, queen." Xu Wendong said, feeling apprehensive.
Outside the door, Lin Yiren blushed, "I was just joking with you, how could you take it seriously? Surely, in your heart, I’m not really a queen, right? Just call me sister-in-law!"
"Okay." Xu Wendong couldn’t understand Lin Yiren’s thinking, but for now, he had no choice but to play it by ear.
After bathing, he collected the new clothes outside, including the new underwear and pajamas, which were all made of soft and high-quality material and felt comfortable to wear.
Lin Yiren looked Xu Wendong up and down without hiding her appreciation, "My brother has a sturdy body and a handsome face, like a walking clothes rack."
"Alright, alright, hurry and come eat." She warmly invited Xu Wendong to sit, then brought a small bottle of strong liquor, "You were caught in the rain earlier, drink some liquor to ward off the cold."
Xu Wendong sat at the dining table, feeling slightly uneasy as if sitting on pins and needles. It wasn’t that he disliked the current way of getting along, nor was it that he was cheap; it was Yiren’s abnormal behavior that made him feel like he was covered in countless pricks, making him irritated.
Lin Yiren enthusiastically helped Xu Wendong with picking the dishes, "Don’t be silly, eat quickly, or don’t you like the food? If you don’t like it, let your sister-in-law know; your sister-in-law will specially make what you like in the future."
"I’m not picky about food." Xu Wendong kept his head down, eating ravenously, not daring to meet Lin Yiren’s eyes.
"Eat slowly, it’s not like someone’s going to snatch it from you." Lin Yiren showed a stunning smile, picking dishes for Xu Wendong while asking, "How’s work? No one’s giving you a hard time, right?"
Xu Wendong mumbled incoherently, "It’s all good."
Lin Yiren nodded, "If there’s anything, let your sister-in-law know no matter what; your brother and I are your strongest support."
"Hmm." Xu Wendong nodded vigorously, even though he couldn’t understand why his sister-in-law had such a significant change, but his sister-in-law’s concern warmed his heart.
And just like that, they chatted back and forth until after dinner, Lin Yiren strongly refused Xu Wendong’s proposal to clean the table and wash the dishes, and went to the kitchen alone for more than half an hour.
Of course, Xu Wendong wasn’t idle either. Given that he was living under someone else’s roof, he had to have some initiative. He cleaned the house, mopped the floor, and even replaced all the garbage bags with new ones.
Xu Wendong nervously said, "Sister-in-law, it’s getting late, I’ll head back to my room."
"Wait a second."
Lin Yiren returned to the bedroom, and shortly after, came out with a wad of cash, forcefully stuffing it into Xu Wendong’s hand, "You just arrived in Qingyuan, even though there’s a salary during the internship period, that bit of money is too little, it’s not enough for your daily expenses at all."
"Here’s two thousand yuan, take it as pocket money!"
Xu Wendong hurriedly waved his hand, "No, no, no, sister-in-law, I can’t take your money, absolutely not."
He was already living under someone’s roof, and his cousin had arranged a job for him, this kindness couldn’t be repaid, let alone take the money given by his sister-in-law.
"No, you must take this money." Lin Yiren’s face was stern, full of seriousness, "You are a man who has now entered the workforce, and surely you will need money. For example, if you go out for a gathering and a colleague treats you to a cup of milk tea, don’t you have to reciprocate?"
"I’m telling you, the workplace is like a battlefield. If you want to stand firm in the workplace, you must mingle with your colleagues, and money is indispensable."
"Alright, alright, stop being finicky, just accept it, or else your sister-in-law will get angry."
Seeing this scene, Xu Wendong said no more and reluctantly accepted the two thousand yuan, secretly thinking of compensating his sister-in-law much in the future after earning big money.
"Go to sleep." Lin Yiren smiled, showing a smile that could captivate hearts.
"Sister-in-law, you should also sleep early." Xu Wendong said as he turned and returned to his room, but lying on the bed, he had no intention of sleeping, not because the rain was tapping on the window incessantly, but because his sister-in-law’s changes today made him extremely uncomfortable.
It’s said that when something is out of the ordinary, there must be trouble; he had no idea what Lin Yiren was up to.
"Fortunately, I learned the Baji Fist today; otherwise, with my previous skills, even if I had cultivated True Qi, I could never have faced the people from Black Dragon Hall."
Xu Wendong was grateful he learned Baji Fist, or things would not have gone well today.
Boom!
Without warning, a blinding lightning bolt tore through the darkness outside the window, momentarily turning night into day.
Following it, a deafening thunder resounded outside the window.
Although Xu Wendong was not afraid of thunder, he was startled.
At the same time, a sharp scream came from the master bedroom.
Xu Wendong’s face suddenly changed, and he rushed out, shirtless, pushing open the master bedroom door, and asked with concern, "Sister-in-law, what happened to you?"
Lin Yiren curled up like a delicate bird on the bed, shivering uncontrollably. Her face was alabaster pale like wax, with glistening tears in her eyes, "Wendong, sister-in-law is afraid of thunder, can you... stay here with me?"
