Proud senior schoolgirl was tender and sweet, we fell in love

Lin Yu lost interest in live streaming after Xi Shi, and quickly went offline.

Before logging off, he grabbed Liu Ou's hand and waved it in front of the camera to feed the fans some "dog food," and then decisively ended the stream amidst barrages of comments calling for him to pat his face.

It was quite cold and ruthless.

Even Liu Ou said, "Won't you lose fans like this?"

Lin Yu said with a smile, "No, I won't."

Liu Ou's eyes twinkled with mirth as she glanced at the figure of the grandmother at the stall, "Aren't you going to help out?"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

If it weren't for the fact that she was not good at it, and because the stall could not accommodate that many people, Liu Ou would have liked to help.

Lin Yu's gaze fixed on her face, "Right now, there aren't many customers, so I'd rather take a good look at my girlfriend first."

His lips curled uncontrollably as he spoke, revealing a childlike grin.

Liu Ou was rarely made to blush by his words.

Although they had confessed to each other and were together now, Lin Yu had been busy, and she too had been dealing with her father at home in the past few days—strictly speaking, they hadn't really spent any quality time together.

Not even a single date.

Lin Yu saw her cheeks start to blush a bit, and then said, "But just now, grandma saw..."

"It's fine, grandma knows," Lin Yu's voice grew more cheerful. "She likes you a lot, so do you want to come to my house for dinner tomorrow?"

Liu Ou was clearly stunned by this stream of words for quite a while.

Then her eyes slowly widened, "You mean... grandma knows about us?"

Lin Yu nodded, about to speak, but was suddenly grabbed by the arm, "Then, does she know about when my dad came before? Won't she think I'm..."

Liu Ou was worried that the grandmother would find their family troublesome.

Actually, Liu Ou was a person with a strong sense of empathy, always considering others' feelings.

So if she put herself in the place of the grandmother and Lin Yu, confronting the situation of her dad coming over to mock someone else's family.

She would really be angry and think there was something wrong with that family.

And would her own impression on them become very bad as well?

Liu Ou really liked the grandmother and was afraid she wouldn't like her anymore because of this—that would make her very sad.

Lin Yu quickly patted the back of her hand, "It's okay, grandma still likes you a lot. You have to believe that she is not your ordinary old lady."

He gave Liu Ou a reassuring smile, "Our family all like you very much, even though there are only two of us in the family now."

Liu Ou couldn't help but laugh at his teasing, "I like you guys too."

Lin Yu looked at the queue that was slowly growing longer, "Alright, I need to get busy now. You can wait for me here or go for a stroll by yourself..."

He paused for a moment, realizing that it was almost the Lunar New Year and the streets were somewhat chaotic.

He changed his mind and said, "You better just wait here for me, I wouldn't feel at ease if you went off on your own."

Liu Ou obediently nodded her head.

She watched Lin Yu go over and start to get busy.

There was also the moment when she greeted grandma upon her arrival; the grandmother seemed to show no sign of anything unusual.

Still very happy-looking.

Liu Ou felt somewhat relieved; her mood, which had been in chaos due to her parents, suddenly improved a little.

Because at least Lin Yu and grandma really liked her.

Liu Ou thought about the things her father had said and the phone calls her mother had made to her these past days.

She lowered her eyes and let out a sigh.

She was actually an adult now, all grown up, but it seemed as if her parents hadn't realized that yet.

They always liked to hurt her under the guise of what's best for her.

Liu Ou felt weary at heart; sometimes she was truly tired, and she neither understood nor wanted to understand them anymore.

It was as if they never wanted to take the time to understand her a little bit more.

Liu Ou had always been acutely aware of what kind of people her parents were.

There was no doubt they were successful in their careers, but in life, in their household, in affairs of the heart, one could only say they were a complete mess.

Yet they themselves were never willing to admit it.

Liu Ou felt sorrow for them and didn't want to end up like them.

For the past decade or so, Liu Ou could say she had always been striving for their approval.

They controlled her grades, her friendships, and even, during the more extreme times before middle school, what she ate each day and how much was all under their control.

Liu Ou was just a pawn in their hands.

One that was utterly unaware.

Liu Ou's life didn't start to get interesting until she met Luo Yanran.

Luoluo always said she was her salvation.

In fact, it wasn't just that, Luoluo had always been influencing her as well.

Liu Ou watched as people bustled about the night market.

Meeting Luoluo was the only thing her parents were satisfied with, as they liked Luo Yan because of the Luo family behind her.

Liu Ou finally made a true friend whom she liked and her parents liked as well.

Liu Ou thought, maybe from that moment on, everything had started to slip from her parents' control.

Thinking of this, she curved her lips into a pleased smile; she liked this feeling of freedom.

Today was the last night of the stall, so Lin Yu and Grandma prepared a bit extra, whereas they would normally be done around ten.

Today it was past half-past ten and they were still busy.

But Liu Ou wasn't in a hurry, patiently waiting.

On the other hand, Lin Yu was afraid she would get anxious, occasionally turning his head to glance at her.

Then he saw her answer a phone call, not knowing what was said on the other side, but Liu Ou's expression...

Was expressionless.

Lin Yu was somewhat worried.

Concerned, Grandma couldn't stand it anymore, "Alright, just the last two left, I'll do it, your neck is going to twist right round."

Waiting in front of the stall was a young couple.

The girl said, "You can tell there's a girlfriend sitting behind you, right?"

Lin Yu, embarrassed, replied, "Sorry, I'll work faster."

The boy said, "No hurry, no hurry. It's good you have a girlfriend; I'm relieved. My girlfriend talks about how handsome you are every day and wants to come see."

Lin Yu laughed too, "So now that I have a girlfriend, you won't come anymore?"

"No way, I really like the rice balls Grandma makes," the girl said without hesitation and even playfully slapped her boyfriend, "Don't talk nonsense, I am a fan of Brother Lin."

Lin Yu was surprised, he hadn't expected to actually have a fan, so he decisively said, "This one's on me, the last two for the night."

The girl's face lit up with joy, "Wow, that's so great~"

Even though he said that, the boy still scanned to pay, grinning cheekily, "Give me a chance to show off in front of my girlfriend, Brother Lin~"

Both Lin Yu and Grandma laughed.

Grandma said, "Thank you both for your support and affection for Lin Yu."

"Haha, it's nothing Grandma; it really is because it's delicious. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to support you!" the girl's voice was hearty.

In the end, Lin Yu and Grandma still insisted on treating them to milk tea. After the young couple left, Lin Yu turned to glance behind him again.

Grandma nudged him lightly, "Go on, I'll clean up, you go."

Lin Yu was indeed a bit worried, "I'll go check on her."

Then he took off his disposable gloves and walked over.
