Quick Transmigration: Kitten's Healing Handbook - Chapter 92
Chapter 92: Light In The Cracks 25
Liuli’s rented apartment only has one bedroom, but luckily the sofa in the living room is quite spacious, Bai Zhiheng thought he could make do with sleeping there for a while. After all, they had planned a trip, and after they returned, they would be going to A city to report for duty in a few days. At that time, they would take their things away and give up the apartment. Buying a folding bed online would still require waiting for shipping and delivery, and they wouldn’t be able to sleep on it for more than a few days anyway.
After Liuli finished Father Lin’s call, with a mischievous intention towards Bai Zhiheng, she approached him, patted his shoulder, and in a self-important manner said, “Young man, you’re meeting the parents tomorrow, nervous? ”
Bai Zhiheng didn’t react at first, he froze for a moment, then began pacing nervously: “This, we didn’t buy that many groceries today, and we haven’t prepared any gifts at home… No, I have to go out and buy some gifts, it’s a little after nine, it should still be possible. ”
Liuli stopped Bai Zhiheng: “What’s the rush? My dad is still in L city right now, it’ll take him time to come over tomorrow, we can buy groceries and gifts tomorrow morning. ”
“It’s the first day off after the exams, how can we let Yao Yao get up early? Father-in-law likes what, what are his preferences, I’ll go by myself tomorrow, Yao Yao should rest well. ”
Liuli recalled Father Lin from Lin Yao’s memories. Her father was very busy and they rarely saw each other. When they did, he seemed to like drinking tea.
“Then you should go to the tea market tomorrow and pick out some mid-range Qimen black tea as a gift. My dad won’t understand anything too expensive, and we’re both students, he’ll understand. ”
“As for food, my dad has been doing business overseas for many years, just look at those returnees who are ravenous to know, as long as it’s the taste of home, he won’t be picky. ”
“Yao Yao, what if Father-in-law doesn’t approve of us being friends…?”
Liuli saw Bai Zhiheng acting weak and helpless to tease her. Liuli pushed him away: “I think you don’t need to buy black tea, your green tea flavor is already very pure, let my dad taste it tomorrow and see what kind of evaluation he’ll give you. ”
Bai Zhiheng pulled Lin Yao back to his side: “This won’t do, we still need to leave a good impression on Father-in-law. ”
“Humph, acting. ”
“Yao Yao, my love for you has never been an act. ”
Liuli looked at Bai Zhiheng’s lips so close, leaned over and lightly kissed them: “I know, I’m also trying to learn how to love you. ”
A man and a woman alone, and they were so close, Lin Yao’s kiss did make Bai Zhiheng feel a moment of emotion, but in this situation, if he did anything more, he was afraid he would lose control and hurt her.
Bai Zhiheng could only secretly take a deep breath to suppress his inexplicable restlessness: “It’s not early, let’s rest early. ”
Liuli clearly knew more about theoretical knowledge than the innocent Bai Zhiheng. Seeing Bai Zhiheng’s restrained look, she wanted to tease him again.
Tuánzi couldn’t stand it anymore, and promptly reminded: “Sir, if you tease Bai Zhiheng any further, he’ll explode. If your father comes tomorrow and sees something he shouldn’t, will he be so angry that he wants to kill Bai Zhiheng…?”
Liuli thought it made sense too. Bai Zhiheng was innocent, but young men can’t withstand too much teasing.
The next day, when Lin Guoqiang arrived in G city, it was nearing lunchtime. He asked Lin Yao if she wanted to go out for lunch. Bai Zhiheng at home had prepared to show off his cooking skills. Liuli, of course, wanted to help her boyfriend: “Dad, lunch is almost ready, you can just come home to eat. ”
Lin Guoqiang had to agree: “Okay, Dad will be there soon. Dad also brought you a lot of snacks and desserts you love. Are there any fruits you want to eat? Dad will buy them on the way. ”
“Dad, I just bought a lot of fruit after the exam yesterday. ” Liuli, sensing Lin Guoqiang’s desire to compensate, added, “If there are longans, buy some, I happen to want to eat them right now. ”
Lin Guoqiang finally hung up the phone contentedly, bought a bag of longans, and went to his daughter’s rental apartment.
A knock came. Bai Zhiheng, who was still halfway through making a tomato and egg stir-fry in the kitchen, immediately became nervous. Should he finish this dish quickly, or turn off the stove and greet Father Lin first…?
Liuli saw Bai Zhiheng peeking out of the kitchen, looking helpless, and smiled and waved her hand: “Finish the dish before you come to greet him. My dad might be unhappy if he sees you scared the moment he enters. ”
Bai Zhiheng didn’t dare to object; he had taken away their daughter, it was only natural to be unhappy.
Liuli opened the door for Lin Guoqiang. Seeing men’s sneakers at the entrance, she didn’t suspect much. After all, a girl living alone, having some men’s belongings in the house, was a form of self-protection.
“Dad, these are the slippers I just bought, change your shoes and come eat lunch. ”
Liuli led Lin Guoqiang to the kitchen. Bai Zhiheng had just finished the last tomato and egg stir-fry and put it on the table. There were now four dishes and one soup, plus a pot of rice, which was quite a feast.
But Lin Guoqiang’s attention was clearly not on how the dishes were made. Remembering the men’s sneakers at the entrance, Lin Guoqiang felt a surge of anger: “Yao Yao, who is this? You, live together? ”
“Dad, don’t worry, this is my boyfriend, Bai Zhiheng. He’s my classmate in G city, we’re temporarily living together, he sleeps in the living room, I sleep in the bedroom. We’ll each live in the dormitory when school starts and we go back to report. ”
“How can I not be worried? It’s June now, school starts in September, you’re going to live together for three months? ”
Bai Zhiheng quickly assured him: “Father-in-law, I’m sincere to Yao Yao, I will protect Yao Yao and will not do anything to hurt her. ”
“Dad, let’s sit down and eat first, Bai Zhiheng personally went to the market to buy the groceries and cooked them this morning, they won’t taste good if they get cold. ”
“I’m not in the mood to eat what he cooked! ”
If it were Lin Yao, she might have been at a loss. Liuli easily handled this situation: “Dad, I’m hungry. ”
Lin Guoqiang really fell for this. He didn’t expect his silent daughter to have this side, because of this boyfriend? Although Lin Guoqiang was still reluctant, his daughter was hungry: “Then let’s eat first. ”
Bai Zhiheng stood by the table looking a little at a loss. Lin Guoqiang then took a closer look at Bai Zhiheng. He was indeed the kind of person who could charm a lot of girls. On his ear, he had what looked like a hearing aid? Congenital, or something else?
“What are you doing standing? Sit down and eat. ”
Bai Zhiheng quickly took the cue: “Okay, thank you, Father-in-law. ”
After the meal, Bai Zhiheng went to wash the dishes, while Lin Guoqiang pulled Lin Yao into the bedroom. They closed the door and asked about Lin Yao’s situation and learned about Bai Zhiheng’s situation.
