XYLFTL Chapter 2

Chapter 2

“Is this the right way? Are you sure?” Mother Lin asked Father Lin.

Father Lin nodded and said, “Yes, this is it. The bodyguard came here last time. Don’t worry.”

Mother Lin looked out the window, feeling a little melancholy: So it was so close. She never said this sentence aloud.

Sitting in the back seat, Lin Yuan looked at Mother Lin’s worried expression and couldn’t help but feel a little nervous. “Mom, will my sister dislike me when she sees me?”

Mother Lin immediately replied, “No, Mom has met her. She’s a very gentle girl.”

Lin Yuan smiled on the surface and said, “That’s great!” But in her heart, she thought: Very gentle, meaning I’m not gentle?

Lin Yuan thought to herself, Good sister, don’t even think about taking Mom and Dad away from me. I must make Mom and Dad have a very bad impression of you.

Soon after, they arrived at Anping’s house. They could clearly hear the sounds of laughter from an old woman and a young girl inside. The courtyard was planted with vegetables and fruits, and it was very clean.

“It seems that our daughter’s life here is indeed good. The people who adopted her definitely didn’t mistreat her,” Father Lin said, looking around.

Anping was indeed not living a hard life. Grandmother was a retired teacher with a pension. She had no children in her life, and her savings were enough. It was just that Anping was sensible. She would save the extra money, and at school, she would also strive for scholarships and participate in off-campus work to earn money.

Father Lin knocked on the unlocked door. Anping ran out to see who it was and saw Father Lin, Mother Lin, and Lin Yuan. She immediately slowed down her steps.

Lin Yuan took this change into her eyes and said behind Father Lin and Mother Lin, “Mom and Dad, she slowed down when she saw us. She obviously doesn’t want us to come.”

Father Lin and Mother Lin were a little embarrassed. Mother Lin still opened her mouth and said, “Anping, we’re here to see you and also to see the person who adopted you. We need to thank them.”

Anping looked at their family and said, “No need. I’m not going back with you, so you don’t need to thank my grandmother.”

Mother Lin was about to say something when Grandmother came out, “Anan, who is it?”

Mother Lin immediately stepped forward to support Grandmother and said, “Auntie! We are Anping’s biological parents. We’re here to thank you for raising her for so many years.”

Although Grandmother was sad, she knew that Anping would have a good life with them.

“Anan is a sensible child. She never worried me about her studies. She would learn anything I taught her, and she’s also thrifty. She never spends money that shouldn’t be spent…” Grandmother told Mother Lin a lot.

These words were very sad to Anping’s heart. Anyway, she would never go back to the Lin Family Residence with them.

Father Lin saw that the time was almost up and said to Mother Lin, “It’s about time, dear. Let’s talk about the real business.”

Mother Lin nodded.

Father Lin took a box and went to Grandmother and said, “Auntie, this is the compensation for raising Anping for so many years. You’ve worked hard.”

Grandmother pushed the box away, “I don’t want it. An old woman like me can’t use this. Give it all to Anping and treat Anping well.”

Anping lowered her eyes and stepped forward and said, “I said, I won’t go back to the Lin Family Residence with you. You don’t have me as your daughter.”

Father Lin and Mother Lin were stunned. They didn’t expect Anping’s attitude to be so firm, and they couldn’t figure out why.

Seeing that the opportunity had come, Lin Yuan immediately said, “Mom and Dad, my sister doesn’t look up to our family, so don’t bother. You still have me, don’t you?”

Anping was speechless. Why was this Lin Yuan the same as in her previous life? She didn’t even plan to return to the Lin Family Residence.

Father Lin and Mother Lin still wanted to say something, but Anping had already put all the gifts and money they brought outside the door.

Then, she helped Grandmother into the house. Father Lin looked at the departing figure and said, “Forget it, let’s go!”

Anping looked out the window at the Lin Family leaving. She looked at Grandmother and found that Grandmother was looking at her worriedly.

“What’s wrong? Grandmother.” Anping sat beside Grandmother.

Grandmother asked what was in her heart, “Why don’t you go back with them? The Lin family is considered quite wealthy in the city.”

Anping tilted her head and thought for a moment and said, “Grandmother, then I’ll tell you. In the nightmare I had, their family treated me badly in the end, and they even poisoned me to death. Would you still let me go?”

“What?” Grandmother exclaimed, “No, no, we won’t go.”

Anping smiled and nodded and said, “I want to be with Grandmother forever and ever.”

Anping’s memories flashed back to when she knelt on the ground to borrow money from Father Lin and Mother Lin, saying that Grandmother was sick, but Father Lin and Mother Lin were unwilling to believe what she said. They didn’t even bother to look at the medical records in front of them.

She watched helplessly as Grandmother could have been cured but died because she couldn’t pay the money.

Her thoughts returned, Anping thought, she should not be able to forgive the Lin family.

The next day, Anping got up early and went to the city again to buy a month and a half’s worth of medicine for Grandmother. She was afraid that Grandmother would not have enough medicine to take.

Back home, she divided the medicine and said to Grandmother, “Grandmother, if the medicine is running out, call me, okay? Don’t wait until you’ve finished taking it to tell me. I’ll come back once before this medicine is finished and take you for a checkup.”

“Okay, Grandmother knows.” Grandmother said.

In the next few days, Anping was always tidying up all kinds of things in the house, for fear that Grandmother would do it herself again after she left.

On the day she was leaving for school, Grandmother stuffed some more money into her backpack and wanted to see her off, but Anping wouldn’t let her. Grandmother also compromised.

Anping calculated the time in her heart. It took half an hour to get to the city, and about five hours by car to Jingcheng. She would be able to get to school in the evening.

After calculating the time, the car came. Sitting in the car to the city, Anping looked at the scenery along the way, feeling sad: Why is it only the first year of university?

Although she didn’t want to grow up quickly, Grandmother was getting older and older, and she couldn’t wait for herself to grow up faster.

When she arrived at the school, Anping called Grandmother and told Grandmother that she had arrived at the school and told her to rest assured.

After chatting with Grandmother for a few words, Anping began to walk towards the dormitory building.

As soon as she pushed open the dormitory door, Su Zixuan, who had been waiting in the dormitory for a long time, screamed, “Finally here! Do you know how lonely I am in the dormitory? Huh? You said you were coming today, but you haven’t replied to my messages, waaaah!”

Anping then glanced at her phone and said, “Sorry, I get dizzy when I look at my phone in the car, so I didn’t look. I called my grandmother as soon as I got off the car.”

Su Zixuan pretended to wipe away her tears and said, “Forget it, it’s okay. I forgive you.”

Anping smiled and said, “Thank you, Your Majesty~”

Anping asked, “Are the two of them coming tomorrow?”

“Yes, look at the WeChat group. You haven’t been talking, and everyone is @-ing you,” Su Zixuan said, looking at her phone.

Anping immediately turned on her phone, entered the WeChat group, and saw several @-s.

“Xia Xing: @Anping, Anan, have you arrived? I can feel Xuan’er’s suffering through the screen.”

“Jiang Shixue: @Anping, are you a busy person? Did you run off to take on some code work?”

“Jiang Shixue: No, Anan doesn’t look at her phone when she’s in the car. She gets carsick.”

“Xia Xing: Oh, right, right, yes, yes.”

“Xia Xing: @Su Zixuan, Xuan’er, wait a while, and Anping will probably just flash into the dormitory.”

“Su Zixuan: That’s right, she just flashed here.”

Seeing this, Anping immediately replied in the group, “Hahahahaha I just flashed here, you two flash over here too.”

“Xia Xing/Jiang Shixue: “We’ll flash over tomorrow morning.”

Su Zixuan had already packed her things. Anping and Su Zixuan chatted and packed their things.

“Anan, will you still take on a lot of outside work this semester? What do you plan to do in the future?” Su Zixuan suddenly asked.

Anping thought for a while and said, “I’ll take it if there is any. I’ll bring you guys as much as possible this semester for the kind you can do. Actually, I want to be a hacker hahahaha.”

Anping wanted to wait until the time was right before telling everyone that she was already a hacker.

Su Zixuan’s eyes lit up and said, “Hacker is good, hacker is so cool. We’re only freshmen, and I feel like you’ve mastered so much professional knowledge, but you also work hard. You spend most of your time studying.”

“Hahahahahahaha I’ll take you with me, will you learn from me?” Anping winked at Su Zixuan.

“Ahhhhhhh has anyone ever told you that you’re beautiful? I don’t know who this beautiful flower will belong to,” Su Zixuan covered her heart and pretended to be hit.

The two of them chatted back and forth. Soon, Anping packed her luggage. They washed up and packed up and went to sleep.

The next day, as soon as Anping opened her eyes and sat up, she saw Jiang Shixue sneaking around in the dormitory.

“Shixue,” Anping called out in a low voice.

Jiang Shixue looked back and walked towards Anping, sitting on the edge of the bed and whispering, “I was afraid of waking you two up. Did I wake you up?”

Anping shook her head and said, “No, I woke up naturally.”

Jiang Shixue nodded and then looked at Anping and suddenly wanted to tease her, “Baby, did you miss me?”

As she spoke, she leaned towards Anping, but before Anping could speak.

Su Zixuan suddenly exploded from the bed and said, “Damn, Jiang Shixue, what are you doing, you big straight girl?”

This sound made Xia Xing, who hadn’t reached the front of the door, rush into the dormitory. She opened the door and saw Su Zixuan pointing at Anping and Jiang Shixue on the lower bunk.

“Ah? What are you doing?” Xia Xing turned on the light and said.

Jiang Shixue also resumed her normal sitting posture and said, “If I didn’t do this, could you wake up?”

Su Zixuan was a little embarrassed and said, “How did you know I was pretending to be asleep?”

Jiang Shixue said, “Not long after I came in, your breathing became irregular. Who told you to pretend?”

“Tch~” Su Zixuan put her hands on her hips and crossed her arms.

Anping and Xia Xing laughed at the same time.

Then Anping said, “You two hurry up and pack your things. Classes will start normally tomorrow.”

Jiang Shixue nodded and said, “Isn’t there a lecture this afternoon? They said that our senior sister is coming back to talk.”

Everyone nodded. Anping recalled that there was indeed such a lecture. She remembered that the senior sister was also very beautiful. Her last name was Shen.

If she couldn’t remember, she wouldn’t think about it. She got out of bed to wash up and ate the breakfast that Xia Xing had just bought from outside.

“Xia Xia, you’re simply our god!”

Anping said while eating.

“I knew you guys wouldn’t be able to get up, and you wouldn’t go to eat even if you did get up, so I just bought it in.”

“It’s simply a life-saving meal. The ones on the train are expensive and unpalatable,” Jiang Shixue said with a mouthful of buns.

Su Zixuan shook her head and said, “Can you girls be a little more girly?”

Jiang Shixue pointed at Su Zixuan with a doll and said, “Are you looking for a beating? You’re the least girly.”

The two of them started arguing again. Xia Xing and Anping were used to it.

Soon, the four of them packed up and prepared to go out. Jiang Shixue leaned close to Anping and said, “Anan, how are you so good at everything? You don’t neglect your studies, you’re beautiful, and you know how to put on makeup.”

“You can do it too. Believe in yourselves,” Anping said with a cliché encouraging speech.

The four of them came to the classroom noisily and specially chose a seat in the front.

As time passed, more and more people came to the classroom. Finally, the class bell rang.

Shen Xiaoyou came in with light steps. Anping’s eyes followed all the way. Yes, she was still so beautiful.

Everyone said, “She’s so beautiful. I really want her WeChat.”

Anping stared at Shen Xiaoxiao in a daze. Her mind was full of thoughts: It’s unbelievable that she’s been reborn once.

Because she was in the front row, Shen Xiaoxiao noticed her gaze and frowned slightly, wondering: Why is this little sister staring at me all the time? Is it possible that her clothes are not tidy? But soon, she entered the state and began to lecture.

Anping then listened carefully to the class. The content was also very simple, it was about entrepreneurship. It seemed that this senior sister started her own business.

After class, many people rushed forward to ask for the senior sister’s WeChat. Shen Xiaoxiao glanced at the stage, said sorry to the people on the stage, and went off the stage.

Su Zixuan said, “Are you guys going? Are you going? Are you going?”

“I’m not going. There are so many people, I can’t squeeze in,” Anping said.

Xia Xing and Jiang Shixue nodded in agreement with Anping’s statement.

Su Zixuan said, “Okay, then I won’t go either. Let’s go!”

Just as the four of them were about to leave, they suddenly heard someone say wait from behind. Anping and her party turned around and saw Shen Xiaoxiao walking towards them.

Su Zixuan was stunned and stammered, “Se…Senior Sister.”

Shen Xiaoxiao responded and looked at Anping and said, “Let’s exchange WeChat, come to my bar when you have time, I’ll give you a discount!”

Anping was stunned for a moment and then said, “Oh, oh, okay, Senior Sister.” She picked up her phone and scanned Shen Xiaoxiao’s code.

Then Shen Xiaoxiao said, “I’m leaving, bye.”

The four of them said together, “Bye, Senior Sister.”

Only the voices of other people were heard: “Why did Senior Sister add her?”

“Maybe she just likes her. She’s very beautiful.”

“It’s just because she’s wearing makeup. Who knows what she looks like?”

“That’s right, that’s right.”

Su Zixuan took the lead to shout to the group of people, “Can’t you stand to see others doing well? Our Anan is more beautiful than you even without makeup, ptooey!”

Anping pulled Su Zixuan back and said, “Okay, okay, it’s okay. They’re just jealous that they didn’t get added, don’t argue with them.”

Xia Xing and Jiang Shixue nodded together and said, “That’s right, that’s right, ignore them. We’ll go find Senior Sister to play next time and get a discount!” They deliberately amplified their voices.

Then they walked towards the supermarket, planning to buy some snacks to stock up. Anping thought about why the senior sister specifically came over to add her, she didn’t understand, she didn’t want to think about it.

After that, they started a big purchase in the supermarket.
