After Lin's mother walked out of the room, she went straight to the dining table, pulled up a chair and sat down, and began to prepare the dishes for lunch.
Lin Fan quietly peeked out and carefully observed from under the sheets.
Through the door frame, I could see Lin's mother sitting with her back to the room. I could see the back of her head, which meant that if she turned around, she might see the little person hiding under the bed.
Lin Fan quickly and carefully retreated until he could only see Lin Ma's ankles and slippers from under the bed sheet, and then he felt a little relieved.
In this way, she can clearly see the movements of Lin's mother and father, but they will most likely not notice her hiding in the dark.
She delicately wrapped the overgrown part of the furry bunny pajamas around her body, finally making herself a little warmer.
Fortunately, perhaps due to cell activation, she seems to be less afraid of the cold than usual recently.
Otherwise, just this short while would have frozen her to the point of tears and sneezing, and sooner or later she would have sneezed... Well, by then she wouldn't be able to hide it even if she wanted to.
But this is not a solution, my body is getting colder and colder...
Lin Fan wrapped himself up again with his gradually stiff hands, staring intently at Lin Ma's feet in the living room while trying to think of a solution with his frozen head.
"Fold a thousand paper cranes and tie a red belt..." A high-pitched soprano voice suddenly sounded, and Lin Fan shuddered. It was Lin's mother's cell phone ringing.
"Hey, help me get it." Mother Lin was still picking vegetables, so she instructed Father Lin.
"It's about what happened last night. You have to explain it to her clearly." Dad Lin took the phone out of his bag, took a look at it, and put it on the table with disgust. He also considerately turned on the hands-free function.
Anyway, Xiaofan is not at home, so there is no need to worry about her hearing it.
Lin Fan noticed Lin's father's feet in his field of vision and quickly moved closer, fearing that the alert Lin's father would notice anything unusual.
"I know, I know." Mother Lin no longer had the heart to pick vegetables. She wiped her hands, and sat on the sofa with her cell phone.
When Lin Fan saw that they had all left, he knew that the opportunity was not to be missed, so he quickly crawled to the bedside table.
Afraid of being discovered by her parents who were outside and whose whereabouts were unknown, and also limited by the restrictions of the fluffy rabbit's clothes, she didn't dare to crawl out to get it. She could only reach out from the bedside table and carefully reach for the phone cord, hoping to get the phone and ask for help.
"Hey, Xiao Wang. Did you poop at home last night?" Mother Lin, unaware that her daughter was already frozen, sat down on the sofa.
"Oh, no! I have some great news to tell you!" Aunt Wang's high-pitched voice was filled with joy. "My nephew told me yesterday when he came out of your house that he's attracted to your Xiaofan! He urged me to call you early in the morning to tell you! I've never seen him so attentive to anything before!"
Nonsense! Lin's father and mother rolled their eyes.
His Xiaofan is so beautiful now, which man would be blind enough to not like her?
But it's okay to just think about it in your mind, how can you say it directly on the phone?
"..." Mother Lin held the phone and looked at Father Lin, and suddenly didn't know what to say.
At this time, Lin Fan, who they thought was not at home, just narrowly caught the phone that was about to hit the floor and retreated under the bed.
Before I could decide who to ask for help, I was attracted by the conversation outside.
What happened? What happened when she didn't know?
"If you ask me, it would be better to find an opportunity for young people to get together." Aunt Wang had already made arrangements there.
"My Xiaofan... has been busy with work lately and has no time to date for the time being." Mother Lin tried hard to think of an excuse.
She didn't even like that kid from yesterday, let alone Xiaofan.
Isn't Xiao Song handsome? Isn't Xiao Wu attractive? Compared to them, that guy is completely pathetic!
"That's just childish talk! As her mother, you have to make the decision for her!" Aunt Wang, perhaps not having heard the refusal, continued to persuade her. "How old is your Xiaofan? If he waits another two years, he'll be forty. Will anyone still want him by then?"
No one wants you! I, Xiaofan, am young and pretty now, I look only 20 years old, how come no one wants me?
Dad Lin stared at his phone with wide eyes.
"It's true that your Xiaofan looks young and beautiful, but isn't she already old enough? If you delay for two more years, it will be difficult for her to have a child!" Aunt Wang added another heavy blow.
You are the one who has a hard time giving birth! How can you say that? Lin Ma also felt angry.
But it's Chinese New Year, and they're kind-hearted. They can't just insult me, right? Are we going to continue this dance?
When Xiao Wang tells her fellow dancers about it, who knows what kind of rumors they'll spread? If they spread rumors in a completely different light, how will she save face?
"My Xiaofan is very opinionated. How could he possibly listen to us?" Mother Lin made another excuse. "Besides, didn't the two children meet yesterday? My Xiaofan doesn't seem to be attracted to us."
"Oh, I only saw him once yesterday, what could I possibly know?" Aunt Wang was desperate for her nephew. "Let's arrange for him to meet again and chat. Maybe we can find common interests. Your Xiaofan and my nephew both like roast duck. Look, isn't that a common interest?"
Seeing that this person didn't understand, Lin's mother gritted her teeth and spoke directly. "Let's just forget it. What if the two of them don't get along and end up having an unpleasant conversation? Will we ever meet again?"
Most people, upon hearing this, would know that it is a rejection.
But Aunt Wang was clearly no ordinary person. "Well, they're theirs, and we're ours. As a young person, there's no harm in making more friends."
Mother Lin frowned. Before she could think of a rebuttal, the other party said, "Then it's settled. You ask your Xiaofan to come over and sit down with you sometime these next couple of days. Okay, I won't bother you anymore. That's it!"
He spoke quickly and urgently like a machine gun, and hung up the phone without saying anything.
Mother Lin looked at the page where the call was hung up and wondered if Xiao Wang knew that she was rejecting him but didn't accept it?
At times like this, it usually comes down to who has the thicker skin.
"Look, look! I told you to explain it clearly! Why are you still making an appointment?!" Dad Lin frowned and scolded.
"I didn't..." Lin's mother had never known that her dance partner had such a strong side. "Before I could even say anything, she died!"
"Then call her again! Explain it to her!" Lin's father ordered unhappily. It was a terrible feeling to be manipulated.
Mother Lin turned on her phone and hesitated again. "Since it's come to this, why not just forget it?"
She felt that if she called back now, it would be too embarrassing, as if such a small matter couldn't even make the child cry out.
"You!" Lin's father was furious. "If you don't refuse her, do you really want Xiaofan to go out with her? How are you going to ask Xiaofan? Will he agree?"
"..." Lin's mother was also in a dilemma, but she didn't want to lose face in front of her friends. "Why not just not tell her about the date? Just let her go and make some casual friends? It's not a big deal..."
See each other?
Lin Fan listened to the whole story from beginning to end, and he already had an idea in his mind, and frowned slightly.
What did that man look like? She didn't even look at him.
"You! Do you think Xiaofan is stupid?" Lin's father was extremely angry. "What kind of good is that guy? Is it worth it for Xiaofan to go out and make ordinary friends with him? Besides, we don't have such intentions, so we shouldn't give people hope. You are..."
He stood up, paced back and forth a few steps, pointed at Lin Ma and scolded her, "You! You're always like this! You mess up the house for some nonsense. Aren't you happy with these two days of good life? You have to have a quarrel? And drive Xiaofan away? Is it so hard to refuse? Give me your phone number and I'll tell her!"
As he spoke, he wanted to go up and grab Lin Ma's phone, "Doesn't she know what a jerk her nephew is? And he still wants to be my son-in-law? You're like a toad wanting to eat swan meat!"
Lin's mother was also unwilling to agree to this matter.
Although what Lin's father said resonated with her, his attitude angered her.
She suddenly felt rebellious and held her hand out, preventing Father Lin from reaching for the phone. "What are you doing? It's just a small matter, why are you making such a fuss? Let's ask Xiaofan later and see what she says. What if she agrees?"
"She promised nothing!" Lin's father rushed over to grab the phone from Lin's mother. "If she knew that she was stared at for so long by two ignorant people last night without realizing it, she wouldn't even bother to talk to you and would just walk away!"
"It's not that I want this. I didn't even agree to let her bring anyone over. Now she showed up suddenly and I was caught off guard. I couldn't just stop her from coming in! I only found out after I let her in!" Mother Lin also felt aggrieved.
Lin Fan suddenly realized.
She was saying, "They were clearly able to see the whole room, but they insisted on walking around." So that's what happened.
She had originally thought of them as Lin Ma's friends, and hadn't taken them seriously, no matter how strange they were. But after hearing what Lin's father said, she became furious and annoyed with Lin Ma.
No one would feel happy to be kept in the dark like she was, and to be judged by others like they were picking out goods.
What is going on?!
Even if you really can't stop the other person, tell her in time and let her know the situation before dealing with it. It's better than letting things develop and covering it up like you are doing now, which will lead to a lot of trouble, okay?
Lin Fan grabbed the bunny's ears and bit her lower lip in anger. If her physical condition hadn't allowed it, she would have rushed out and started a fight.
Although I had decided to reconcile with Lin's mother before, all I was talking about was "old grudges".
Everything that happened yesterday is like yesterday’s death, but what should we do now that today’s “new hatred” has come?
"Oh!" Lin's mother suddenly screamed.
Father Lin was startled and forgot to grab the phone. He asked nervously, "What's wrong?"
"Could it be that Xiaofan heard what we said in the room last night, so he ran away early this morning?"
Mother Lin stood up and hurried to Lin Fan's room.
Dad Lin also hurried to catch up.
It wasn't until she saw the clothes Lin Fan wore yesterday still on the chair and his luggage bag that her mother breathed a sigh of relief. She said to her father, who had just peeked in, "You scared me! Everything is still here. He didn't leave."
Lin Fan shrank back as hard as he could. It would be a disaster if he was discovered at this moment.
"But it's already past 9 o'clock, why hasn't she come back yet?" Lin's mother asked in confusion, "I should give her a call and ask."
Then he dialed the phone.
Lin Fan under the bed opened his eyes wide.
She's holding the phone in her hand...
Another 3,000-word chapter. Lin Fan is freezing to death. How is he going to get out?
My ranking has dropped to 406. I'm facepalming. Never mind. Let it be. If I get it, I'm lucky. If I don't, it's fate. I need to work harder. Fist pump.
It's been freezing for days now, and I'm freezing. My hands are so frozen they can't type. Even washing them in 40-degree hot water feels scalding. Wearing half-gloves makes my hands awkward, but I can't bring myself to turn on the AC. I'll type for a while, then touch the hot water cup to warm my hands. Hahaha, it's so miserable. My efficiency is so low.
