Chapter 93.2: She Is An Adult Now (II)

The first part of today’s sponsored chapters is Ch 92 Part 1.

After they arrived at the parking lot, Su Bei saw a car that seemed to be familiar. The next moment, Lin Shaochi got off the car.

“Brother Lin? Why—” Why are you here?

Before Su Bei finished speaking, Lin Shaochi already opened his mouth: “Xiaobei, are you going home today?”

“Yeah.” Su Bei nodded. If it weren’t for Xu Silly, she would have been home now.

“Get in, I’ll send you back.”

Before Su Bei responded, Xu Yangyang jumped out first. He patted his chest and said confidently: “Brother Lin, it’s alright. Aren’t you busy? Since I’m here, I will take the responsibility to send Xiaobei back to Jingyuan safely.”

Lin Shaochi glanced at Xu Yangyang. Concealing the coldness in his eyes, he turned back at Su Bei, waiting for her answer.

Su Bei didn’t notice the surging emotion hidden in Lin Shaochi’s eyes. She took a glance at Xu Yangyang’s neon-green supercar and immediately jumped into Lin Shaochi’s car without hesitation.

“Brother Lin, I will bother you.”

“It’s nothing.” Trying his best to hold back his smile, Lin Shaochi closed the door for Su Bei.

From the car window, Su Bei handed a meal card to Xu Yangyang: “Xu Yangyang, don’t you want to eat supper at the cafeteria? Here, I’ll lend you my meal card.”

Holding Su Bei’s meal card, Xu Yangyang stared dumbfoundedly at the leaving car. He had no idea that Su Bei abandoned him so thoroughly because his car was too blinding for human’s eyes.

“Brother Lin, fortunately, you are here.” Su Bei sighed in relief. Without Lin Shaochi, she would have to ride in Xu Yangyang’s car. The ugly style was barely tolerable, but the problem was Xu Yangyang’s driving skill, which was even worse than his aesthetic.

Su Bei was overjoyed, thinking that she had the good luck of coincidentally meeting Lin Shaochi today. But she didn’t know that Lin Shaochi’s car had been parked nearby for two hours.

The so-called ‘coincidence’ was nothing more than a deliberate calculation by a certain someone.

“By the way, Brother Lin, did you come nearby for work today?” Su Bei asked. This wasn’t her first time to take Lin Shaochi’s ride. From time to time, she would meet Lin Shaochi near the school or on the street. He would say that he was nearby for work, and then send her with his car almost every time. Over time, Su Bei had gotten used to it.

“No.”

“Huh?”

Lin Shaochi’s sudden negate caught Su Bei off guard. If he wasn’t here for work, then for what?

“I come to pick you up.” Lin Shaochi answered Su Bei’s question, but it made her even more confused instead.

——Because I want to pick you up.

Not just this time, but also every time before.

In the past four years, Lin Shaochi kept reminding himself of what he should do and what he should not do. It took him four years to learn how to interact with Su Bei as a normal ‘elder brother.’ However, all these efforts disintegrated instantly when he saw her walking side by side with another man.

Lin Shaochi knew that he was impulsive just now, and he also knew that such words would only confuse Xiaobei. If he kept speaking, he might even scare her. However, if this emotion was so easy to control, Lin Shaochi wouldn’t have to see a psychologist for four years.

Su Bei was about to ask Lin Shaochi why did he come to pick her up, but the man was quicker: “We are going to pass by Dejingji. Do you want to buy a box?”

Su Bei has no idea about the fierce battle between reason and emotion that was happening inside Lin Shaochi’s mind at this moment. Hearing the word ‘Dejingji,’ her eyes instantly brightened. It was her favorite cake shop.

“Yeah!”

“Okay, wait in the car, I’ll go down and buy it.”

After a while, Lin Shaochi brought back a box of cakes and handed it to Su Bei. It was exactly her favorite combination she ordered every time.

“Thank you, Brother Lin.”

“You’re welcome.” After a pause, Lin Shaochi suddenly said: “Xiaobei, why didn’t you ask why I came to pick you up?”

Lin Shaochi felt that he must be crazy. Otherwise, why did he ask something like this after the subject finally changed?

Fortunately, Su Bei’s mobile phone rang suddenly and interrupted their conversation. The call was from Uncle Fu, asking when Su Bei would be home.

“I’m in Brother Lin’s car. We will be home soon…yeah, later.” Su Bei hung up the phone and turned back at Lin Shaochi: “Brother Lin, what did you just say?”

Lin Shaochi: “Nothing.”

“Don’t eat too many sweets.”

“Okay.”

That evening, Lin Shaochi visited Wang Chen’s clinic again.

After carefully observed his friend for a long time, Wang Chen finally said: “You see… let’s not interact as psychologist and patient today. Instead, we will chat as friends.”

“You…” After hesitating for a moment. Wang Chen said, “Do you still like that little girl?”

As a professional psychologist, Wang Chen knew that he shouldn’t ask such sensitive topics, but he couldn’t help it. He really couldn’t bear seeing his friend’s tangled and painful look every time. If the counseling worked on Lin Shaochi, the matter would be different, but unfortunately, it was pointless.

“No.” Lin Shaochi shook his head.

“Then…”

“It’s is deeper than that.” Lin Shaochi smiled bitterly, but still confided the truest feeling in his heart.

Hearing this, Wang Chen was taken aback. He secretly thought: Sure enough.

He knew that his psychological counseling only worked on the surface. But in fact, over time, Lin Shaochi only sunk deeper and deeper.

“As your psychologist, I probably shouldn’t say this…” After all, Lin Shaochi originally came to him for the purpose of getting rid of an emotion he shouldn’t have. “But as a friend, I think I can remind you this: the girl you like, she is an adult now.”

So, if you want to pursue her, go on.
