Chapter 606 Reminiscence, Jealousy
On the other side, Lin Mo brought Bai Jingshu to his own courtyard.
However, before he entered the yard, he heard some noise in the courtyard.
I don’t know whether it is Zhong Xiu and his sister or Wu Yue who is at home.
If it were Zhong Xiu and his sister, it would be fine.
But if it was Wu Yue, with her straightforward and somewhat short-tempered temper, I wonder if there would be some misunderstandings.
However, if I turn around and leave at this moment, it would seem deliberate, as if I have something to hide.
Lin Mo thought to himself: "Forget it, forget it. At worst, I can just fight back. I, Lin Mo, am upright and honest. What is there to be afraid of?"
Taking a deep breath, he walked forward and pushed open the gate, and the wooden door made a familiar creaking sound.
Bai Jingshu followed behind him, eyes full of reminiscence, looking at the familiar courtyard in her memory.
The old locust tree is still lush and green, and the stone table and stone benches are still in the same place, as if nothing has changed.
"Brother is back?"
Wu Yue's clear voice suddenly came from the kitchen, and then she leaned half of her body out.
She had her hair tied in a simple ponytail and her face was still smeared with flour.
There was a smile on his face, but when he saw Bai Jingshu following behind Lin Mo, his smile froze.
"Xiaoyue, didn't you go out for something today? Why are you still at home?" Lin Mo asked with some confusion.
"Oh, it was cancelled at the last minute."
Wu Yue replied, with a hint of disappointment in her voice, "Why did you come back so early today?"
Although she said this, her eyes remained on Bai Jingshu, and a strong sense of crisis arose in her heart.
"Brother Xiaomo!"
Zhong Ling jumped out of the house like a happy little deer, wiped her wet hands on her apron, and pounced towards Lin Mo.
But after running two steps, her eyes suddenly widened, "Beautiful sister!"
Bai Jingshu was also stunned, then squatted down in surprise.
"Xiao Ling'er? You've grown so tall!"
She looked at the little girl in front of her who had grown into a beautiful young lady, and her heart was filled with emotion.
"But I'm not called Pretty Sister. My name is Bai Jingshu. Bai means white, Jing means quiet, and Shu..."
Bai Jingshu remembered Zhong Ling. She smiled and explained patiently.
"I know. It's the "Shu" in "lady."
Zhong Ling said proudly, with her head held high, "My brother and I are both in school now, and we know a lot of words!"
Bai Jingshu smiled and didn't correct her.
In her opinion, Zhong Ling's innocence is the most precious thing.
At this time, Zhong Xiu heard the sound and came out.
When he saw Bai Jingshu, a smile broke out on his dark face and his heart was filled with surprise.
"It's really Sister Bai! Hello, Sister Bai!"
He pulled his sister to bow, his eyes full of gratitude, "If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have met Brother Mo, and we might still be begging for a living now..."
"Don't be like this." Bai Jingshu quickly supported them, smiling, "I should be the one thanking you. If you hadn't helped me get the news, I wouldn't even know where I am now!"
Thinking back to those days, her heart was filled with warmth.
Wu Yue stood at the kitchen door, looking at the scene in front of her, her fingers unconsciously twisting the edge of her apron, feeling mixed emotions.
She looked at Bai Jingshu carefully, and memories came flooding back.
She remembered that she had met the other person before, but she hadn't seen him for more than two years. She didn't expect that he would appear again.
Still as amazing as ever.
Her skin is as white as snow, her eyes and eyebrows are as picturesque as paintings, and the light blue cheongsam she wears makes her look like a lotus after the rain, fresh and refined.
The look in her senior brother's eyes was a gentleness that Wu Yue had never seen before.
Even Zhong Xiu and Zhong Ling are so close to each other.
This made Wu Yue feel a little bitter, and she said angrily: "You two little brats, you really only care about whoever gives you milk!"
"Sister Xiaoyue, what you said is wrong. It should be 'you will be tempted to change your mind if you see someone new!'"
Zhong Ling corrected seriously, her little face full of seriousness.
"Hmph! Don't think you can teach me a lesson just because you've been in school for two days."
Wu Yue felt uncomfortable after her shortcomings were exposed, and she felt more and more that she was inferior to Bai Jingshu in every way.
You can tell at first glance that she comes from a scholarly family, and her every move exudes intelligence and elegance.
No wonder senior brother likes her!
I was born in a poor family and have been following my grandfather around the streets since I was a child. I have never been to school for a day.
Just like the weeds on the roadside, they are growing wildly all the time.
With such a comparison, the light in her eyes suddenly dimmed.
"This is Bai Jingshu, my friend." At this time, Lin Mo noticed
At this time, Lin Mo noticed her depressed mood and took the initiative to introduce her: "Xiao Yue, this is Bai Jingshu, my friend."
He tried to break the awkward atmosphere, "Jingshu, this is my junior sister Wu Yue, you can just call her Xiaoyue."
Bai Jingshu smiled at Wu Yueying and nodded slightly.
That smile was like the warm spring sun, with a bit of sincerity and friendliness.
"You are the little junior sister that Lin Mo always talks about, right? I never thought that you are even prettier and smarter than he said."
Her tone was sincere, trying to narrow the distance between her and Wu Yue.
Wu Yue forced a smile, but her heart felt heavy as if it was stuffed with a ball of wet cotton.
Senior brother often mentions her?
What is the relationship between the two of them?
Why are the Zhong brothers and sisters so familiar with her?
A series of questions surged in her mind like a tide, making her upset.
"I'll go get two more dishes."
Wu Yue turned around and hurried into the kitchen, the spatula clinking in the pot.
The sound was particularly harsh in the silent kitchen, as if it was an outlet for her inner dissatisfaction.
The kitchen was filled with the strong smell of smoke, but Wu Yue's heart was in a mess.
She mechanically stir-fried the vegetables in the wok, but her eyes looked somewhat empty.
Lin Mo noticed that something was wrong with her mood, and just as he was about to follow her in, Bai Jingshu gently pulled him back.
"I'm going to help."
The kitchen was filled with steam. Wu Yue was chopping a piece of pork ribs vigorously, and the knife made a dull sound when it hit the chopping board.
"Good sword skills."
Bai Jingshu stood beside her and naturally picked up a cucumber and sliced it, her movements skillful and elegant.
"Lin Mo said that you could perform a full set of scimitars when you were seven years old. I never believed it, but today I finally saw it."
Wu Yue slowed down the chopping of the winter melon.
She raised her head, her eyes full of surprise: "Brother...did you really say that?"
"But there's more to it than that." Bai Jingshu blinked and said playfully, "He also praised you for your high level of understanding and your ability to endure hardships. If you can keep up this pace in the future, your martial arts achievements will be limitless."
She leaned closer, lowered her voice, and smiled, "It's just that I have a quick temper and like to get jealous."
Wu Yue burst out laughing, then immediately frowned again. The jealousy and confusion in her heart mixed together, and she couldn't help but ask the question that had been lingering in her mind.
"How...did you meet?"
"It's a long story."
Bai Jingshu put the chopped cucumbers into the plate.
"I met him once before. Later, my friend and I were captured by the gang of thieves. Thanks to Zhong Xiu and his sister for helping us to get the news, Lin Mo was able to rescue me from the gang. So, he is my savior..."
