[BL]Reborn With An Old Enemy On the Day of Our Marriage

Chapter 60 - Restructuring the Cold and Indifferent Household

Although Lin Qian only asked for one cup of water for Shao SiJia, Zheng PingQing was holding two cups when he arrived at the door. Zheng PingQing was still wearing an apron when he told Lin Qian: “Drink some water too.”

Lin Qian nodded. He accepted both cups and took a sip in one of them. He raised a brow. “You added honey?”

Zheng PingQing smiled. “Since big sister rushed to get here, I added some sugar for an extra energy supplement.”

Shao SiJia finished fixing her quilt and was now laying on top of it as she stared at Zheng PingQing. With a sigh, she said: “You’re such a careful and considerate younger brother, ah.”

Zheng PingQing stood on his tiptoes to look over Lin Qian’s shoulder. He replied: “Big sister, remember to support me later.”

Shao SiJia gave him a mysterious smile. “Why? are you going to come out and perform?”

Zheng PingQing hummed. “Something like that.” More like come out of the closet.

Lin Qian: “….” It seems that Zheng PingQing is really dedicated to acting downright unscrupulous just to get the voters\' support, ah.

Zheng PingQing left soon after. Lin Qian went to hand Shao SiJia the other cup but saw that she had her hands folded under her chin. With a meaningful glance towards him, she asked: “Ah Qian, I won’t scold you, so be honest with me. You didn’t cast some voodoo on Zheng PingQing, did you?”

Lin Qian: “….” Zheng PingQing, I blame you for this sharp decline in my reputation.

Lin Qian took a big sip of his honey water. Tasting a lingering sweetness in his mouth, he replied: “I haven’t. We just ended up liking each other after we got to know one another.”

Shao SiJia sat up, took a sip of water, then shrugged her shoulders indifferently. “If you like him, then I\'ll follow you.”

Lin Qian smiled. As he watched Shao SiJia finish her water, he pondered things for a while. Then he said: “Shao SiJia, I want to talk to you about dad and Chen ShiYi.”

Shao SiJia gave him a look. “Say it.”

Lin Qian took a deep breath, then said: “I don’t blame him.”

This was the first time Lin Qian had ever told this to Shao SiJia, both in this life and the last. He had initially thought that this sentence would be difficult to say out loud. But surprisingly, Lin Qian felt like a great weight had left his shoulders. He felt no resignation, just relief.

It turns out he had already let go.

Shao SiJia didn’t immediately speak and simply stared at her brother.

Lin Qian continued: “When I was younger, I couldn’t understand an adult’s difficulties. I was so angry at him, and I blamed him for marrying mom, but not accompanying her afterward. He had children, but he didn’t fulfill his responsibilities as a father…but now I know it wasn’t easy for him to work and provide for us. Now, he even gave up a job he loved just to be with us…”

Lin Qian didn’t elaborate any further. He knew the hardships of the adult world because he had experienced it. But he wasn’t sure if Shao SiJia could understand such things at her age. Well, it didn’t matter. Because no matter what, Shao SiJia will listen to him.

Sure enough, there was hardly any hesitation in Shao SiJia’s reply. “Well, since you’re not angry, I won’t be mad at him anymore.”

Lin Qian smiled, then started ridiculing Lin YaZhi: “I’m not angry. Other than doing scientific research, he’s really stupid when it comes to everything else…”
