Volume 1 Chapter 44: Did My Big Sister Actually Go on a Date with a Man?
The next day, Sunday.
Lin Lin started to feel a bit regretful.
When she first woke up, she was still in a great mood. She was still enjoying the happiness from destroying her fans in the game last night. The dopamine hadn’t worn off yet. She was so excited that she even jumped out of bed and threw a few punches at the curtains like a combo move.
But…
When the excitement faded, she suddenly remembered the worry she had before going to sleep last night.
Today she had to go see Gao Liang for tutoring…
Ah, this is bad.
Lin Lin immediately started to feel troubled. She finally understood what it really meant to feel restless and uneasy.
So, this Sunday,
Lin Lin spent the whole day feeling worried and tortured by her thoughts.
Her gloomy, almost hopeless look naturally caught Lin Yu’s attention.
As soon as her younger brother came out of his room to get a drink of water, he was shocked to see Lin Lin sitting on the sofa, looking like she was thinking about the meaning of life.
She looked almost possessed, holding her phone tightly and staring at the chat screen. He couldn’t see the messages clearly, but it didn’t look like she was actually chatting either.
Her brother froze for a while, took a sip of water to calm himself, and kept watching her.
She seemed to have completely forgotten about him, lost in her own world, like a famous painting…
“Waiting for Something Big.”
Has she been like this since dinner? Mom and Dad went out for a walk. Why is she still sitting in the living room, just… just waiting for something?
“Ding—”
As evening came, a message notification suddenly sounded on the girl’s phone. She snapped back to her senses and looked down. A small red dot appeared. She swiped left and saw Gao Liang’s profile picture.
【Gao Liang: Have you finished dinner?】
【Gao Liang: I’ve driven to the entrance of your neighborhood. If it’s convenient, come downstairs. I’ll take you to the tutoring place.】
Seeing the message, the girl took a deep breath.
The painful waiting was finally over. It was finally time to face her fate.
The sooner it ends, the better.
With a determined look, she typed a reply:
【Lin Lin: I’m coming!】
After sending it, she stuffed her phone into her pocket, stood up, and got ready to go out. She almost bumped into her younger brother and paused for a moment.
She looked at the cup of water in his hand and casually asked, “You came out to get water?”
“Uh…” Her brother nodded, then watched her put on her shoes and said, “I’m going out for a bit. I’ll be back later. If Mom and Dad ask, tell them for me.”
After saying that, she walked around him, opened the door, and left. Lin Yu stood there for a long time before slowly nodding.
Uh…
He stood there blankly for a while, then suddenly realized something. He quickly ran to the window and looked down. He saw the girl’s small figure running toward the neighborhood gate.
This girl…
Where is she going?
……………
Lin Lin hurried downstairs and jogged to the entrance of the neighborhood. She stood there looking left and right for a while. Suddenly, someone tapped her shoulder from behind.
She quickly turned around in panic and saw Gao Liang smiling at her. He was holding car keys and greeted her.
“Good evening, Lin Lin.”
“Good evening… good evening… meow.”
“Mm~” Gao Liang nodded with satisfaction, then waved and said, “Come with me.”
He led Lin Lin to the roadside, where a car and a driver were already waiting.
They got into the car. Gao Liang spoke to the driver, “Uncle Wang, go to the same place as last time.”
The driver gave Gao Liang a meaningful look and joked, “Young master, isn’t this a bit too fast?”
“Uh… it’s just tutoring.” Gao Liang waved his hand. It was clear the driver had misunderstood something.
Lin Lin froze for a moment, then gently tapped Gao Liang on the shoulder from behind. Feeling a bit nervous, she asked, “Hey, Gao Liang, where are we going for tutoring?”
“Uh… you’ll know when we get there,” he said, coughing twice.
Gao Liang looked a little awkward. Lin Lin frowned in doubt. What kind of tutoring place is so hard to explain?
“It’s not… outdoors, right?” She hesitated for a long time before asking carefully.
“Pfft—Lin Lin, do you think we’re going on a picnic?” Gao Liang couldn’t help laughing.
Feeling embarrassed, Lin Lin angrily punched his shoulder and said, “Then say it clearly! Where exactly are we going?!”
“Ahem. Teaching you is really tiring,” Gao Liang said. “Last time, in the abandoned classroom, I was completely worn out. So this time, I chose a very comfortable place. Don’t worry, Lin Lin. I won’t treat you badly.”
With his promise, Lin Lin nodded.
Hmm… if he says so, it should be fine, right?
But… why did the driver say something like that earlier?
Ugh…
She couldn’t figure it out.
The girl rubbed her head, sighing at how silly she felt. She looked behind the car, there was only one taxi, then turned to look ahead again.
Everything was quiet.
………………………
On the other side.
Lin Yu was gripping the security bars by the window. He stayed silent for a long time, his mouth wide open.
This doesn’t make sense. At this hour… she went out?
This was the first time ever. Since finishing elementary school, Lin Lin had never gone out alone at night by her own choice. A girl with social anxiety who wouldn’t even go to an internet cafe, now she actually went out?
This, this, this…
Something like this would only happen if Lin Lin found out the exact location of One Piece left by the Pirate King, or if she knew all the winning lottery numbers today.
Wait… wait a second.
Following the direction Lin Lin ran in, he looked toward the gate of the apartment complex.
He saw his sister stop and look left and right, as if waiting for someone.
His heart tightened. He already had a guess. After a while, just as expected, a familiar man appeared behind her.
He had seen this man yesterday. He had also heard about him before. That’s right, it was Gao Liang.
Hiss—
Didn’t she say yesterday that meeting him was just a coincidence?
Today too? A coincidence right at their apartment gate?
This was clearly planned!
Wait… could it be that his sister…
Was going on a date with a man?
Holy crap…
Lin Yu stood there in shock for a long time. It wasn’t jealousy, he knew what Lin Lin was like. Honestly, she wasn’t the type that boys easily fall for. At first glance, she looks like a goddess, but once you know her, she’s more like a shy little mouse.
But…
That man was Gao Liang!
Gao Liang, the star of the school basketball team, the prince charming in the eyes of many girls!
This strange pairing was really shocking. It was impossible not to be curious.
The two chatted for a while, then got into the car.
Watching the car disappear, Lin Yu let go of the window bars and sat back on the sofa.
Hmm…
It has nothing to do with me.
Nothing to do with me.
Nothing to do with me.
Hah, Lin Lin can do whatever she wants…
Ugh…
So boring…
What are those two going to do anyway?
Come to think of it, Mom told me to keep an eye on her.
No, no, stop thinking. Stop thinking!
Don’t think about it!
Damn it!
He grabbed his hair hard, feeling restless like ants were crawling all over him. After a long while, he put on his shoes, rushed out of the house, and stopped a taxi.
“Driver, follow that black car!”
He followed it all the way, trying to observe what was happening inside, but he couldn’t see anything…
Until the black car stopped.
Lin Yu froze, then looked up at where Gao Liang had parked.
“……”
A…
Hotel?!
