Non-sister-in-law Raiders

At night, Lin Jinyun was fidgeting in the room.

She thought of Jiang Lan's intentionally avoiding eyes during dinner, and she had mixed feelings in her heart, hating her impulsiveness and contradictoryly lying to herself: maybe it was just an illusion.

Like a standard crush, she worries about gains and losses, and is in a dilemma.

Should it be covered up by explanation as before?Or should it be a matter of course to confess what I have been hiding for a long time?

Lin Jinyun encountered the biggest problem in his life.

She imagined the possible consequences behind the two choices in her mind.

After constant self-denial and self-persuasion, she finally made a choice, and then picked up the "Chinese for the Second Year of Junior Secondary School" and began to look it up seriously.

The clock slowly pointed to 09:30, Jiang Lan hadn't come upstairs yet, Lin Jinyun was a little anxious and decided to go downstairs to have a look.

As soon as she reached the door, she heard footsteps going upstairs, so she quickly turned around and sat down on the bed, her face filled with anticipation, and the emotion in her eyes seemed to be brightened, making her look energetic and confident.

If you go all out, you must make it clear to her tonight!

The door was slowly pushed open, and it was Guo Chunlan who walked in with a smile on his face.

The light in Lin Jinyun's eyes dimmed instantly as the door opened and closed.

Seeing her sluggish appearance, Guo Chunlan guessed what she would ask next, so she simply told her, "Your sister-in-law is sleeping downstairs tonight."

"what?"

"Let me tell you, your brother didn't make trouble this time, but he is obedient haha."

"how come..."

Guo Chunlan was happy, and she started to talk more, got into the mosquito net and dragged her daughter to chatter again.

"Hey, let me tell you, during the time you're not at home, the husband and wife are doing very well. Your brother seems to be a different person, and he's warmer to her than before. Actually, I've been thinking about it for the past two days. I was trying to find a time for them to sleep together again, but your sister-in-law suggested it first. Come on, this matter is settled."

"What? Did Jiang Lan mention it herself?"

"She mentioned it herself. The second daughter-in-law is really much more sensible than those in the eldest house."

At this moment, Lin Jinyun felt a chill for no reason, and just a moment ago, the fire in his heart that was so hard to inspire was instantly extinguished.

She considers herself a student who is not sensitive to aptitude but has always worked hard, and it is the same in terms of being a human being.From childhood to adulthood, she never gave up lightly in the face of countless academic, career and life difficulties.

But this time, when she wanted to rely on the tenacity and perseverance in her personality to overcome this big question in life, she was ruthlessly deprived of her qualification to answer the question by the question maker.

The mother was still talking, and Lin Jinyun listened passively, with his left ear coming in and his right ear coming out, leaving only one sentence in his mind:

Jiang Lan mentioned it herself.

What else do you not understand?

She is such a kind-hearted person, and she is born with an exquisite mind, she does not express it, she knows it but does not speak, how can she not see through her yearning.

She just made a choice for herself in this way.

At the same time, this is her own choice.

Lin Jinyun shook his head violently, trying to stop himself from thinking any further.Going deeper, she was afraid that she would suddenly lose her composure. After all, her mother was still in the room, so she could only pretend to be calm.

She lay down mechanically, slowly pulled the thin blanket over her body, reached out to touch the button of the bedside lamp but touched something else, looked sideways, it was a junior high school Chinese textbook.She picked up the textbook, rubbing her palm on the cover slowly, and unconsciously recalled Jiang Lan's demeanor every time she listened to the text, the questions she asked, and the emotions she expressed when she expressed her opinions.

These scattered pictures kept popping up and replaying in Lin Jinyun's mind.

She is like a little movie fan who refuses to leave after the movie screening is over, she continues to stay in her seat, in the empty auditorium, using the aftertaste of the ending music to continue to reminisce about the plot she just watched, her face Gradually revealed selfless intoxication.

Until an inspector passed by, and finally found her who was lingering, and shouted——

"Why don't you turn off the lights? What are you thinking?"

Guo Chunlan had been lying down for a long time, waiting for Lin Jinyun to turn off the lights, but the lights didn't turn off.She looked up and saw that her daughter was holding a book in a daze, her face looked dazed, so she woke her up.

Lin Jinyun was woken up by the call, and his face returned to normal. He hurriedly put away the books, and reached out his hand to turn off the light.

But how can I sleep?

As soon as he closed his eyes, he couldn't stop thinking about that person. An hour later, Lin Jinyun was still tossing and turning, unable to sleep alone.A slight breathing sound gradually came from beside her, and the mother was already asleep. Listening to this breathing sound alone, she felt even more disturbed and piercing, although it was not noisy.

She couldn't take it anymore, she felt that the room was full of that person's breath and shadow, and she couldn't stay any longer.So she quietly sat up, slipped out of the mosquito net lightly, sneaked to the door, slowly turned the lock and walked out of the room.

She continued to walk down the stairs and came to the living room on the first floor. When she saw the closed door on the left side of the living room, she felt like a knife was piercing her heart.

She turned her head and stopped looking at the room, but walked towards the gate, opened the door slightly, and walked towards the yard.

It was another night with a bright moon in the sky, and the surrounding fields were quiet, with only the slight sound of the wind blowing the vegetation.Standing in the yard, Lin Jinyun felt the lonely but quiet late summer night, and the restlessness in his heart gradually subsided.

The street lamps outside the yard cast a dim yellow light area, and the Lin family was close to the street lamps, so they were lucky enough to enjoy most of the lights.

In the shadow by the courtyard wall where the light cannot reach, the Lin family's Rhubarb is currently sleeping soundly in the corner of the wall.

It was sleeping soundly, and gradually became aware of something sliding over its back, the thing seemed to be still warm, and was running along the fur on its back, then the thing moved to the top of its head and scratched it .

Rhubarb woke up completely, shook his ears, and opened his eyes.

It saw a figure squatting in front of it, reaching out to touch its head, and immediately stood up vigilantly, subconsciously growling at the figure.

"Shh! Don't bark."

It looked up at the man, and found that it was the owner. It immediately put down its guard, licked the owner's hand flatteringly, and then lazily returned to the nest and lay down.

Unexpectedly, the master's hand didn't let it go, and continued to touch it.But it doesn't want to be touched now, so it raises its head and pushes the owner's hand with its wet nose.But the owner didn't seem to give up, as soon as it pushed away, her hand got entangled.

"Even if you don't accompany me, don't you want me?"

It heard the master say something, but the hand continued to touch.

It was a little annoyed, stood up again, opened its mouth and took the master's hand in one bite.

"careful!"

Suddenly a voice came from the watery silence.

Lin Jinyun turned around abruptly, and saw Jiang Lan standing three or four steps away from her, looking at her.

Rhubarb is a very humane and loyal dog. When he bites, he doesn't bite hard, but in Jiang Lan's eyes, it looks like he is going to attack the owner.She walked up to Lin Jinyun in two quick steps, grabbed her hand and looked at it carefully: "Did you get bitten?"

Lin Jinyun withdrew his hand and stood facing Jiang Lan, silent.

"Why don't you go to sleep?"

"..."

"Jin Yun, it's cold at night, go back to your room and sleep."

"I'm not used to it, I can't sleep." Lin Jinyun stared into Jiang Lan's eyes and asked calmly, "What about you? Are you used to it?"

"I'm not used to it either."

When Lin Jinyun heard this, his stagnant gaze suddenly came to life. Just as he was about to stretch out his other hand, he heard Jiang Lan say another sentence: "But you have to get used to it."

The hand that was frozen in the air did not retract, and the light in Lin Jinyun's eyes had not yet dimmed. She did not give up and was still making the last effort: "Jiang Lan, in fact, I..."

Jiang Lan suddenly interrupted what she was about to say.

"Jin Yun, call me sister-in-law from now on."

Sometimes all it takes is a blade of grass to crush a camel.

Lin Jinyun's face turned pale, and he looked at Jiang Lan full of sorrow and grievance.But she noticed that Jiang Lan's face was calm from beginning to end in the dim light, without any emotion.

This discovery made Lin Jinyun feel extremely embarrassed.

In the end, she was just a taste of love for the first time, and it was really difficult for her to bear such a categorical rejection and complete indifference. The pride and self-esteem in her heart collapsed in an instant, and there was nothing left.

Lin Jinyun hurriedly turned his eyes away, strode forward hurriedly, passed by Jiang Lan, and the cold wind brought up by the corners of his clothes was cooler than this watery late night.

Early the next morning, when the whole family went downstairs for dinner, they found that Lin Jinyun had already left.Everyone was surprised, even Guo Chunlan, who was in the same room, didn't know the exact time when she left.

Only Jiang Lan knew that Lin Jinyun left by bicycle at five o'clock in the morning.

When Lin Jinyun left, the sky had not yet lit up, and the night was still chaotic.Jiang Lan hid behind the window and saw her squatting beside Rhubarb silently, and saw her carefully driving the lock for fear of making a sound.In the end, he watched her walk to the yard step by step, and gradually disappeared from his sight.

At that moment, Jiang Lan's heart felt as if a big hole had been broken, bleeding profusely.

Before lunch, Lin Jinyun finally asked Zhou Mei to bring a message home, claiming that he was working overtime at school and would be busy for a while before he could go home.

Everyone believed it, except Jiang Lan.

She deliberately waited for everyone else to go out and went to Lin Jinyun's room on the second floor.

When she walked into the room where she had lived for two months, she realized that everything she saw was Lin Jinyun's kindness. The books she had read and the pillows she had slept on, the pillows she hung on the floor shelf The straw hat, the tape recorder she often listens to on the windowsill...

There was a textbook on the bedside. Jiang Lan picked it up and flipped through it. When she turned to one page, she found that the foot of the paper was slightly warped. When she turned it back, there were two more pages with the same warped corners.

She knew Lin Jinyun's habits, and imagined that she was excitedly finding the textbook and folding the footers to mark, and then flattened the folded footers one by one in frustration. In his arms, his heart collapsed in an instant, and tears fell like rain.
