AWDC Chapter 81
by VolareHalf an hour later, he drove the car into his own yard, and Mu Chuang’s parents, who were anxiously going crazy, quickly came out to greet him.
They had also just arrived home not long ago. Seeing that there was no one in the house, they almost couldn’t catch their breath, as if they had lost their target and were lost.
But now, seeing him driving back, they immediately regained their spirits, as if their souls had returned to their bodies.
“Son, you’re finally back. How do you feel? Is there anything uncomfortable?” They were still most concerned about this question, and they still hadn’t let go of their worries in this regard.
After all, how could a critically ill patient who had been in the ICU suddenly get up and jump around? This was obviously not in line with common sense.
“I’m fine, don’t always worry about this,” Mu Chuang said to comfort them, his words a little rushed, then he glanced at Lin Xi, and continued, “And don’t doubt Lin Xi. We are all living people, don’t think about those unnecessary things. Now, I need to trouble you to do something for me.”
He paused, “Please, Mom and Dad, prepare a sumptuous dinner, I want to invite Uncle Lin to eat with us.”
“Ah?” The Mu family elders hesitated for a second. Because Lin Xi was present, they didn’t ask any further questions and agreed in silence, “Okay, then you go tell your Uncle Lin, we’ll prepare right away.”
“Okay.” Mu Chuang replied, rarely being polite to his parents, “Thank you, Mom and Dad, then we’ll go over first.”
“Go ahead.” Mu Chuang’s mother responded, and looked at the two people’s lively appearance again, and a stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.
Lin Xi was half-pushed and half-embraced by Mu Chuang back to his home. Looking at his father’s lonely figure leaning against the head of the bed, he couldn’t help but feel a pang of sadness in his heart. He suddenly felt that it was right for Mu Chuang to bring him back for a good meal with his father.
When he had just woken up, because he was afraid of being criticized by the villagers, he hurriedly packed his luggage and left, leaving all the incomprehension and pressure to his father. Seeing him like this now, he realized how wrong his decision was.
“Dad,” he stood at the door and called out to him, “I’m back, I’ve decided to leave tomorrow.”
Lin Haiqi heard the words, turned his face, and saw his son appear alive in front of him again, and suddenly became a little choked up.
“Dad.” Lin Xi quickly went over to comfort him, and gave his father a tight hug, letting him feel his body temperature, so that he could clearly realize that he was alive.
“Okay.” Lin Haiqi was excited in his heart. He couldn’t say a complete sentence at this time, and just a simple answer exhausted all his strength.
“Uncle Lin,” Mu Chuang followed Lin Xi over, and quickly took the opportunity to speak, “Let’s go to my house for dinner with Lin Xi tonight, my parents specifically asked me to come over and invite you.”
“We’re going out tomorrow, so let’s have a good meal together as two families tonight. I have something to say. I hope that when we’re not at home, you elders can take care of each other.”
He did this more for Lin Haiqi. His legs and feet were inconvenient, and he was still single, so he wanted to entrust him to his parents to take care of before he left, first to reassure himself, and second to please Lin Xi.
Lin Haiqi heard the words, stopped his joyful tears, and for Mu Chuang, he still had a conflicted heart to this day. He just didn’t know what his son thought of him.
“Son, what does he mean?” The father and son were still in a hugging position, their mouths and ears were close, and they could hear even a soft voice, “Why is he inviting us to dinner for no reason?”
“Don’t worry about him,” Lin Xi replied uncertainly, “I’ll cook for you later. If he really insists, then we won’t be polite, we won’t eat for nothing.”
“Even if we eat it, it’s as if we didn’t, and even if we eat it, he won’t pay attention to you.” He said this in his heart, but he didn’t dare to say it in front of his father.
Mu Chuang watched the father and son whispering, but no one answered him, which was inevitably a little embarrassing.
“That… Uncle Lin,” he really wanted to call him Dad, but he didn’t dare to, “You and Lin Xi have a good chat, I’ll go back and help with the cooking, I’ll come over and call you later.”
“Also… Lin Xi,” he added, “I sincerely invite you, I hope you can give me some face, don’t do it yourself, I’ll come over and call you when I’m done, did you hear me?”
Lin Xi naturally wouldn’t answer him, and he didn’t expect the other party to be able to answer. As long as the other party didn’t refuse, he would take it as a default.
Mu Chuang left with an awkward smile. Taking advantage of the time for the father and son to reunite, he wanted to do ideological work for his parents, so as to avoid embarrassment when people came.
But he dispelled this idea halfway, fearing that he wouldn’t be able to discuss it in such a short time, and then offend the Lin family father and son.
Therefore, after he went back, he didn’t mention a word about him and Lin Xi, only said that they were going out together, and hoped that his parents could have a good relationship with Lin Xi’s father, and help as much as they could.
As for the matter between the two of them, he decided to wait until his relationship with Lin Xi stabilized before talking about it.
When it came time for dinner, he said all the good things he could, and finally invited the Lin family father and son over.
At the dinner table, except for the fact that he and Lin Xi were not mentioned, everything else was said. The two families finally reconciled as before, and the meal was very pleasant.
But this kind of reconciliation was only limited to the two families’ parents, and did not represent Lin Xi. He even paid Mu Chuang for the meal afterwards through his mobile phone, which directly made Mu Chuang laugh and cry.
Of course, he wouldn’t accept it, and was waiting for the system to return it to him after twenty-four hours.
The only thing that made him gratified was that Lin Xi seemed to have acquiesced to returning to the original factory with him, which made Mu Chuang so happy that he couldn’t sleep most of the night.
Early the next morning, he went to the Lin family to pick up people. Not to mention bringing a lot of gifts, he also wanted to secretly stuff Lin Haiqi with cash, but was unsurprisingly rejected, and only reluctantly accepted the gifts under his insistence.
Lin Xi silently remembered, his face a little ugly.
When he returned to the factory, he still insisted on sleeping in his own dormitory and eating his own pickles with steamed buns, unwilling to take advantage of Mu Chuang.
“I can’t afford these things from you, and I don’t have money to pay you back, don’t induce me to spend money, I’m afraid I won’t be able to pay it back when the time comes.” Lin Xi sat on the edge of his bed, refusing the midnight snack that Mu Chuang had bought for him, and ate his pickles with steamed buns with relish, but he didn’t know how much this sentence made Mu Chuang feel uncomfortable.
“When did I ask you to pay me back?” Mu Chuang sat next to him, putting the midnight snack he had bought on the foam box next to the bed, “I never thought of getting back the money I spent on you. You are the one who insists on doing that. Could I still throw away the money you worked so hard to earn?”
Lin Xi stopped chewing when he heard the words. The other party’s words clearly referred to the red envelope that he had returned to him last time, but he was unwilling to continue this topic with him.
“I’m going to sleep, please go out.” He stuffed the last bite of steamed bun into his mouth and threw away the plastic bag, “This is not your single dormitory, don’t disturb other people’s rest here.”
