Protagonist:

Lin Xiyu

"Forget it, stop crying."

Guben's heart softened; in the end he couldn't help pulling her into his embrace: "I'm not angry with you, it's my mother's fault, anyone else would likely have something to do with her too, I'll handle this, give me some time, I'll resolve it."

"Mm."

Hearing him agree, Lin Xiyu felt somewhat better inside.

At this moment she was delicate and helpless, leaning against him wholeheartedly, relying on him.

Guben's stifled mood completely vanished like smoke and clouds in this instant.

"Don't make me angry again in the future."

He used his sleeve to wipe her tears, his low gentle voice carrying a pampering he himself hadn't noticed: "If you dare say 'not suitable,' 'don't provoke you,' or that kind of thing again, I really won't pay attention to you."

"Mm."

Lin Xiyu let out a faint breath from her nose.

"Let's go home, I'll send you."

Seeing her so unusually obedient, Guben smiled pamperingly and gestured toward his mountain bike.

"I can go back myself."

Lin Xiyu thought of her maternal grandmother's admonition and subconsciously wanted to refuse.

"Disobedient again."

Gu Binjun's face darkened: "Your eyes are all red from crying, how can you go back alone?"

Lin Xiyu's eyes showed conflict: "What if someone sees......"

"Am I that unpresentable?"

Guben's face grew even darker: "You want me to help you but don't want to give me a status, you want me to be your underground mistress?"

"Lin Xiyu, I'm warning you, don't think you can toy with me, today we'll make things clear, I'm not that soft-hearted, I don't help just anyone, if she's not my girlfriend, even if she cries to death in front of me, I couldn't be bothered to care."

"I didn't want to toy with you."

Lin Xiyu was so anxious she nearly cried again: "Grandma just said yesterday not to associate with you, today you'd send me back, if she really saw she definitely couldn't accept it, can you give me some time, let me explain to her first."

"You don't need to explain, I'll say it......"

Guben brooked no refusal, grabbed her and walked off.

"You you you, what do you want to say?"

Lin Xiyu was overly frightened and stuttered beautifully.

"Say I want to associate with you, ask her to grant her blessing."

Guben was righteous and confident, arrived at the mountain bike, used both hands to lift her up, and put her on the bike.

"Wait......"

Lin Xiyu still wanted to delay a bit: "This skirt belongs to the program group, I need to change out of it."

"No need to change."

Guben saw through her little scheme, gave her no chance to run: "This role will be yours sooner or later, no one can snatch it away."

"You, this is too overbearing......"

Lin Xiyu protested softly, under his pressing gaze she grumbled a few times and went quiet.

"Sit tight."

Seeing she wasn't complaining anymore, Guben strode his long legs over the bike.

The bicycle weaved through the crowded flow of people, the handlebars swaying now and then, Lin Xiyu's little heart trembling along, fearing she'd make a fool of herself and fall off, she had to reach out and embrace his waist.

Guben glanced at the fair pink arms like lotus roots encircling his waist, the corner of his mouth curling up slightly, revealing a trace of a successful smile.

——

An hour later, Donghua Street No. 9 Courtyard.

Lin Xiyu stood under the grape vine in the yard, pacing anxiously back and forth.

Ignoring her dissuasion, Guben insisted on apologizing to her maternal grandmother on behalf of his mother.

One old, one young closed the door for a private talk.

Her maternal grandmother wouldn't let her enter, so she could only wait in the yard.

They'd already talked for nearly an hour and still no sign of Guben coming out; she was so anxious she broke into a cold sweat in the sweltering heat, the more she thought the more regretful she felt, she shouldn't have told him about her maternal grandmother stopping their contact.

What if he was young and hot-blooded, spoke without thinking, and offended her maternal grandmother.

At this critical juncture, if her maternal grandmother got so angry she fell ill, wouldn't she become the sinner of the whole family.
