Chapter 42: Chapter 42: Feeling wronged, missing mom

Xia Lin was about to say something else, but Gao Shu next to her pulled her back, "Linlin, what's gotten into you today?"

Xia Lin countered by looping her arm through Gao Shu's, "What? Are you afraid I'll quarrel with her?"

"Not at all, I know you wouldn't condescend to argue with her. Besides, Jingqiu isn't so headstrong anymore. With a family member gone, she's grieving. Let's not bother her too much."

"Jingqiu, Jingqiu, you sure say her name sweetly."

"Linlin, you know, you're the only one in my heart."

Hearing the words she wanted to hear, Xia Lin smiled playfully and pulled Gao Shu outside. There was nothing to do at home today, so Xia Lin specifically brought up Gao Shu's parents' situation, leading to a mention of the old family house they had left behind.

Xia Lin said she wanted to take a look, and that's why they went out.
