Chapter 298 After Moving, Sister Ling, You Can Only Be With Me
While the adults went out for a walk, Tu Nan, Peng Fei, Dong Zhe, and Xiao Ting sat around the TV, watching programs. The fan hummed, bringing a touch of comfort.
At this moment, Dongzhe stood up, a smile on his face, and looked at everyone. "Brother Tunan, watermelon or orange juice?"
Tu Nan stared intently at the television. "I want a watermelon."
"I want orange juice."
Dongzhe then turned his gaze to Xiaoting. "Xiaoting, what do you want?"
Xiaoting looked up at Lin Dongzhe, tilted her head and thought for a moment. "Then I'll have orange juice too."
Not long after, Lin Dongzhe came over with a plate of sliced, chilled watermelon and two bottles of orange juice, and placed them on the table.
Upon seeing the orange juice, Pengfei reached out to grab it, but Dongzhe, as if anticipating this, quickly took one of the bottles back. "This is for Xiaoting, it's room temperature orange juice. Pengfei, this chilled one is for you."
Pengfei immediately felt a wave of embarrassment, his skin crawling with goosebumps, and couldn't help but complain, "Dongzhe, why are you trying so hard to please Xiaoting? Are you trying to copy her homework?"
Dongzhe rolled his eyes at Pengfei, opened a soda, and handed it to Xiaoting. "Tunan-ge always watches me do my homework, you forgot? Xiaoting, here you go."
Xiaoting wanted to say she wanted it chilled too, but then she suddenly remembered that her period was coming soon.
A thought struck her: Did Lin Dongzhe remember her birthday on purpose?
Thinking this, Xiaoting's face flushed red. She reached out and took the soda, sipping it slowly. Looking at Lin Dongzhe's profile, she suddenly realized that he was quite handsome. No wonder he was the only male beauty in the cotton mill.
Lin Dongzhe happened to turn his head and glance at Xiaoting. Their eyes met, and Lin Dongzhe quickly turned his head away, taking out his handkerchief to catch the watermelon juice.
Looking at Dongzhe's obsequious manner towards Xiaoting, Tu Nan couldn't help but recall how he had been so careful and tried every means to please Wanshu when he was pursuing her.
Well, as long as Dong-cheol doesn't go too far, let him go.
Anyway, I've watched Dongzhe grow up since he was a child. Although he has a lot of tricks up his sleeve and is a bit mischievous, he's truly sincere and devoted to Xiaoting.
He had also been through Dongzhe's age group. Thinking this, Tu Nan shook his head helplessly, smiled, and continued watching TV.
. . . . . . .
Time flies, and before we knew it, it was almost time for the start of the new semester at Tunan.
A major event occurred in the usually peaceful and tranquil courtyard.
That evening, after dinner, Zhuang Chaoying, Huang Ling, Song Ying, and Lin Wufeng sat around their family's table.
Zhuang Chaoying cleared her throat, her gaze sweeping over everyone in the room before she spoke. "Today, I've gathered everyone together for a family meeting. Our two families have been together for so long, we're practically one family now, and Ah Ling and I don't intend to hide anything from you. Tu Nan, Xiao Ting, Peng Fei, you all know that we bought a new house, right?"
The three children sat on small stools and answered in unison, "We know."
Zhuang Chaoying continued.
“When school starts, Xiaoting and Pengfei will be in their final year of high school, with heavy workloads and a lot of pressure. We thought that giving you your own study space would be more conducive to your preparation for the exams. When we move to the new house, each of you will have your own room, and you won’t have to squeeze the whole family together like we do now. When Tunan comes back, you won’t have to stay at your Aunt Song’s house anymore, as it’s too crowded for Dongzhe to get a proper rest.”
Lin Dongzhe quickly spoke up. "Uncle Zhuang, I like living with Brother Tu Nan. It's so much more comfortable sleeping together."
Lin Wufeng smiled and shook his head. His son was already a grown man, yet he still clung to his brother Tu Nan, just like when he was a child.
Huang Ling gently squeezed Song Ying's hand and looked at the children. "Your dad and uncle have made it very clear. Now let's vote by raising our hands. Raise your hand if you agree to move."
Before the words were even finished, Tu Nan and Peng Fei quickly raised their hands. As Peng Fei raised his hand, he thought to himself that this time he could relax a bit and wouldn't have to keep an eye on the two of them all the time.
Song Ying glanced at Wu Feng beside her, and the two understood each other perfectly, slowly raising their hands as well.
"Sister Ling, since you're all leaving, we're moving too. Wu Feng, what do you say?"
Lin Wufeng nodded quickly. "Yes, let's move too."
Lin Dongzhe's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. He had always known that his family had bought a new house, but at this moment, a strange sense of loss welled up in his heart.
He wondered if it would be less convenient to see Xiaoting in the future. Although their new homes were also right across from each other, the alley in between felt like an invisible barrier separating him and Xiaoting.
Seeing that everyone had raised their hands, Xiaoting was afraid that if she was too slow, her thoughts would be exposed, so she quickly raised her hand as well and secretly glanced at Lin Dongzhe.
Seeing that Xiaoting had raised her hand, Lin Dongzhe hesitated for a moment before slowly raising his own hand as well.
Zhuang Chaoying adjusted her glasses and looked around again. "Okay, unanimously approved. Let's move there as soon as possible while Tu Nan is still here. The sooner we move, the sooner we can have peace of mind, and the sooner the children can adapt to the new environment."
Lin Wufeng chimed in, “Since Song Ying and Sister Ling have a new house under their names, according to regulations, this house must be returned. Song Ying, when you and Sister Ling are at work tomorrow, go to the housing management office to complete the formalities. Don’t delay, so as not to cause any problems.”
Song Ying and Huang Ling gripped each other's hands tighter, exchanged a glance, and nodded.
Song Ying's voice choked with sobs. "Sister Ling, I suddenly feel a little reluctant to leave you. It feels like a big family is suddenly having to separate. Sister Ling, I don't want to move." As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.
"Sister Ling, you have to promise me that even after we move, things will stay the same, and you can only be with me." Song Ying held Huang Ling's hand.
Huang Ling quickly reached out and gently wiped away the tears from Song Ying's eyes. "I promise you, it's okay, it's okay, don't be sad. We live right across the street, it's less than a minute's walk, how can it be considered a separation? We can still see each other every day, just like before."
Song Ying hummed in agreement, but tears still streamed down her face.
Seeing her only best friend crying like this, Huang Ling felt a pang of sadness and gently patted Song Ying's back. "Song Ying, you are my only best friend. You will always be the only one in my heart, and no one can replace you."
Song Ying wiped away her tears, sniffed, and forced a smile. "Sister Ling, you're the same in my heart. You're my only sister, I won't be friends with anyone else, and I'll still go to your house every day to watch TV together."
"Okay, same as before."
