1990s: Spring Water Family

Chapter 19 The Little Ambiguity on the Return Trip
Gu Bin didn't give her a chance to argue and spoke first: "We can talk about whatever you want when we get there. It's not convenient in the car."

"Uh."

Lin Xiyu choked, forced back all the resentment in her heart.

"hehe."

Gu Bin found her frustrated little face more and more amusing, and couldn't help but reach out and pat her head again.

"Stop filming."

Lin Xiyu was feeling annoyed and complained irritably, "If you keep taking pictures, I'll really make you stupid."

"Ah."

Gu Bin chuckled and teased her, "You talk like you're so smart, but don't blame me if you actually turn out stupid."

"Who would blame you?"

Lin Xiyu was furious and embarrassed.

"Actually, you can rely on me too."

Gu Bin continued slyly, "I wouldn't mind raising a silly, adorable little lamb."

"You're the stupid one! You're the lamb! Who wants you to raise them?!"

Lin Xiyu completely lost her temper and punched him hard.

The force was considerable; the hammer struck his chest with a heavy thud.

"Ouch."

Gu Bin let out a wail, clutched his chest, and lowered his head in anguish.

"Does it hurt?"

Lin Xiyu's hand trembled slightly, feeling a little guilty: "Who told you to provoke me? I didn't use much force, you're too weak."

"Try letting me punch you."

Gu Bin laughed in exasperation: "Let me see if it hurts?"

"let's hit."

Lin Xiyu straightened her slender waist, stubbornly insisting, "It's just a punch, what's the big deal? If you want to hit me, then hit me, go ahead." "You said it!"

Gu Bin couldn't stand her smug little face and wanted to put an end to her arrogant attitude.

He subconsciously curled his fingers and symbolically punched her chest.

The taxi suddenly swayed for some reason, and Lin Xiyu was caught off guard and fell forward. Gu Bin couldn't dodge in time, and when the back of his hand touched the girl's softness, he felt as if he had been burned and quickly jumped away.

"what"

Lin Xiyu was also stunned, and a scream escaped her lips.

Gu Bin saw the taxi driver's mocking gaze in the rearview mirror, and his handsome face instantly turned completely red, like a boiled crab.

After an ambiguous and unspeakable incident on the way back, the two did not speak after getting out of the taxi. Their eyes would occasionally meet, but they would hurriedly look away.

Gu Bin took the person home and then wanted to leave on his bicycle.

Upon entering Lin Xiyu's house, they discovered that the mountain bike parked outside the noodle workshop window was nowhere to be seen.

"Where's your bicycle? Why is it gone? Did someone steal it?"

Lin Xiyu was so shocked by the outrageous price of his mountain bike that her voice changed.

"I'm going to make a phone call."

Gu Bin was more composed than her. Standing in the passageway, he glanced through the door towards the phone booth and immediately made a decision: "Ask Grandpa Wang who has bought noodles while we were away."

"Did the person who bought the noodles steal it?"

Lin Xiyu felt a surge of panic, unable to believe that such a thing could happen in her own yard.

"Forget it, you'd better not ask."

Seeing that she was too frightened and her face was pale, Gu Bin disregarded the need to avoid suspicion and pressed his hands firmly on her shoulders, comforting her instead: "I'll call the police. The police will be here soon. Once they've ruled out the suspects, we can leave the catching of the thief to them."

“It’s not that I’m afraid, it’s just that I feel that the people who often come to Grandpa Wang’s house to buy noodles are all neighbors.”

Lin Xiyu had mixed feelings: "We see each other all the time, we know each other very well, and I really don't want to believe that they did it."
