Chapter 1021 - 1034: I’m About to Get Scolded
Xiao Qiuhong handed Lin Junyang a glass of water, then said to Xiao Xiao, "Come with me."Xiao Xiao looked at Xiao Qiuhong walking into the kitchen and shrugged at Lin Junyang, "I’m going to get a scolding, feel free to look around."
Watching the girl enter the kitchen and close the door, Lin Junyang chuckled and began to inspect the room.
This was an old residential building, visibly worn from the outside, but Xiao Xiao’s home exuded warmth everywhere.
It was clear that Mom Xiao was a woman who knew how to live well.
Probably because there’s no man around, the whole house was designed in warm tones—the walls, TV cabinet, cupboards decorated with various little ornaments, and a bottle of dried flowers on the coffee table.
He finally understood where Xiao Xiao’s habit of giving him little trinkets came from—likely influenced by her mother since childhood.
On one side of the living room were the bedrooms, both doors open, offering a view of the inner bedroom with several plush toys on the bed—it was clearly Xiao Xiao’s bedroom.
Lin Junyang placed the towel on the coffee table, stood up, and went into Xiao Xiao’s bedroom.
It was unmistakably a little girl’s room, with pink lace curtains, pink Hello Kitty bedding, and a pink desk and bookshelf. He sometimes really couldn’t understand why girls were so devoted to pink.
There weren’t many books on the shelf, a few medical books that seemed very new, likely recent purchases, some used high school exam study books, and even a row of romance novels.
On the bedside table, there was also a romance novel. He picked it up casually, and on the cover were four bold characters, "Forceful Love Petting".
Lin Junyang shook his head, wondering, who did this girl want to love forcefully? Is it really that easy to obtain love? Naive.
Just as he was about to put it back, something fell out from the pages and landed straight on the floor.
"Lin Junyang, what are you doing?"
As she spoke, the girl had already run over, quickly bent down to pick up the item from the floor, grabbed the book from his hand, and slipped it back inside.
"Entering a girl’s room without permission is very rude, you know that?" Xiao Xiao said angrily, her little face glowing red, uncertain if it was from anger or embarrassment.
Even though her movements were swift, Lin Junyang still spotted what had fallen—a photograph of himself from when he returned to the Imperial City for Wenxuan and Wanxin’s wedding.
In a formal suit, with a tie, meticulously styled short hair, although just a side profile; she must have sneakily taken it from somewhere.
Seeing Xiao Xiao’s embarrassed little face, Lin Junyang felt an urge to tease her.
"Didn’t you just tell me to feel free? Your house isn’t that big, I’m just looking around."
He then picked up another book, flipped through it casually, but this one had only a bookmark inside, nothing else.
Xiao Xiao snatched the book from his hand again, "I was just being polite, don’t you get it? Also, I said you could look around, but you shouldn’t be flipping through my stuff!"
Not sure if he saw what was inside just now, Xiao Xiao’s heart was pounding with unease.
Lin Junyang touched the tip of his nose, not feeling his previous actions were inappropriate.
"Forget it, no need to be so stingy, if you don’t want me to see it, that’s fine. No need to be this mad. Next time when you visit my place, I’ll let you look around everywhere. Or was it that Aunt Xiao really scolded you? Come on, did she think you were too domineering and couldn’t stand it anymore?"
