Chapter 126 Immortal Turtle (4)
Chapter 126 Immortal Turtle (4)
For some reason, Lin Yu no longer called Su Qin by her name, and instead called her wife whenever he met someone.
Su Qin also went from being embarrassed at the beginning to being calm now. As for why she didn't refute Lin Yu's way of addressing her, it was because the flower shop's turnover continued to rise.
Lin Yu standing at the door was like a living signboard, and everyone who came wanted him to speak like they were teasing a pet. Even listening to Lin Yu's humming would make them laugh for a long time.
Lin Yu also went from being speechless at the beginning to being able to express himself freely now. There is no other way. Life is not easy, so he has to perform to make a living!
It was finally time to close, and Lin Yu stretched.
"We have a day off tomorrow. You can do what you want and go out for some fun." With the surge in profits at the end of the month, Su Tan generously gave Lin Yu a few red bills and mercifully offered to give him a day off.
Lin Yu took the red note in his hand, quite dissatisfied. What does this mean? Killing the donkey after it has done its work? What are they planning to do? Just throwing me out? And they clearly said that I am not allowed to stay at home tomorrow.
Out of turtle instinct, Lin Yu made a gurgling sound.
Su Qin was probably used to the turtle's behavior of expressing dissatisfaction, so he raised his hand and blocked the foam that Lin Yu spit out.
"Tsk, Lin Yu, change that habit. You're a human being now. Otherwise, if you go out and do this, people will think you're sick!"
Su Qin washed his hands and said patiently, "My mom is coming back to visit me tomorrow. Although we're not close, a grown man appearing out of nowhere would scare her. So why don't you just go out and have some fun by yourself tomorrow? Okay?"
Lin Yu stared at Su Tan, put away the red bill, and nodded obediently: "Oh!"
The next day, Su Qin's mother arrived at one o'clock in the afternoon, and gave Lin Yu some more instructions. At twelve o'clock, Su Qin sent Lin Yu out the door.
"Remember, come back after playing around!"
Then Su Qin watched Lin Yu walk away.
This made Su Tan worried. When she was alone, she thought about all sorts of things. Sometimes she wondered where Lin Yu would go to play, and sometimes she worried that Lin Yu would leave and never come back.
Let's not talk about how much Su Tan was suffering. Let's just say that Lin Yu didn't actually go anywhere. His previous lives were too laborious, so in this life, he just wanted to live according to his tortoise instincts. He went downstairs obediently and walked around the neighborhood. Tired, he sat on a bench, feeling the summer air and listening to the cicadas. It was so comfortable. But it was really hot!
Lin Yu felt a little uncomfortable. The sun was too strong, and as a turtle, his heat tolerance seemed to have decreased. He got up, found a flower shop, bought a bouquet of flowers, and slowly returned to the community.
Upstairs, Su Tan quickly cleaned up the house, made sure there were no mistakes, and then patiently counted the time waiting for the Queen Mother to arrive.
Ding Dong…Ding Dong…
Su Qin obediently put on a smile and opened the door. She knew her mother's incognito visit was a mystery, and she had three questions: First, why is your house so messy? You don't know how to clean it. Second, how's your shabby little flower shop going? If business isn't good, why not close it and go home and inherit your father's legacy? Third, Aunt Wang next door's daughter has already given birth, so when will you find a boyfriend...
Su Qin could already guess what her mother was going to say next. Helpless, Su Qin kindly advised, "Mom, you're like Pluto worrying about the entire solar system."
Su Tan was slapped in the face. "How dare you say that about your mother? If you weren't my daughter, I wouldn't bother with you."
"Yes, yes, Ms. Zhong, you are right."
"By the way, don't you have a turtle? Why didn't I see it?"
Su Qin was surprised, wondering how her mother knew. Could there be surveillance cameras in the house? She even knew I bought a turtle?
But can she say it? No, who's good turtle evolved into a mature man, and he also has beautiful attributes!
So Su Tan could only laugh and say, "Well, it died a few days ago."
I don’t know if it was because of something in my heart, but the doorbell suddenly rang, and it was very quiet at the right time.
"Um, Mom, how about I open the door first?" Su Tan ran to open the door despite her mother's scrutinizing gaze.
At first, Su Qin thought someone was looking for trouble with him or that it was another neighbor's kid playing a prank on him. He opened the door and was about to say something when he was stopped in his tracks by the person standing outside.
The turtle that "died a few days ago" suddenly appeared in front of Su Tan, with those bright roses in his hand. She felt like her face was slapped and suspected that Lin Yu was definitely taking revenge on her for spreading the rumor that he had died a few days ago.
Lin Yu had a blank expression on his face, but with a smile in his eyes he said, "Wife, I'm back."
That's right, telepathy. Lin Yu happened to hear this girl brazenly claiming she was dead, and he'd been waiting for a long time, and the weather was too hot. The time had come, so it was normal for him to come back.
After hearing Lin Yu's complete words, Su Tan closed her eyes. She didn't know whether she should be happy or sad, but at least she didn't have to face her frightened mother at this moment.
"Didn't I tell you to go out and play for a while before coming back?" Su Qin said to Lin Yu in a low voice with gritted teeth.
Lin Yu raised three fingers seriously and said, "Three circles."
Su Qin covered her face. After all this time, this guy had only played three laps downstairs in the community. It was hard for her to still worry that he would leave and never come back. Blame herself for not understanding the inner thoughts of animals. Su Qin felt both angry and amused. Aren't turtles supposed to walk slowly? Could it be that turning into a human would be different?
"Who is he?" Ms. Zhong asked in a deep voice, touching her heart. She heard the young man call her daughter "wife".
"Uh...delivery...express delivery...yes, express delivery." Su Qin said hesitantly.
"Su Qin! Tell the truth! I heard it." Ms. Zhong looked at Su Qin seriously.
Su Qin, startled, swallowed, thought for a moment, cleared his throat, and said quickly: "Uh... well. He is my ardent admirer, but I don't like him. Mom, you have to believe that your daughter is innocent..."
Lin Yu suddenly stretched out his hand and interrupted Su Qin's explanation.
"This is for you." Lin Yu handed the rose in his hand to Su Qin. At this time, Lin Yu only had one feeling left, which was thirsty and hot.
Without caring about being polite or not, he walked past the two of them and sat down on the sofa. He took a sip of water, held the cup and started blowing bubbles.
All this happened unexpectedly.
Ms. Zhong turned her gaze to Su Tan, seeing the blush on her daughter's face and her ears gradually turning red. Then she thought about her innocent words she had just sworn to. It seemed like a lie.
"Oh! Innocent? Qin Qin. Tell me the truth, Mom, I want to hear it. You know I don't object to you dating, but people should be polite, right?"
After hearing what her mother said, her girlish heart, which had just been complaining in her heart about Lin Yu, a love-sick old turtle, suddenly swelled up like an inflated balloon and exploded in her heart because she was surprised that she received ninety-nine roses from a man for the first time.
"Hehehe... Mom, um, um... he's not usually like this. He's usually very polite, really."
"What about this bubble blowing? How old is he? Are you sure he's okay?"
What should Su Tan say? Tell her mother that it's normal for her to blow bubbles because she's a turtle? This would scare her mother to death.
"Uh... just a little playful, nothing wrong with that. Doesn't your daughter like blowing bubbles with a straw, too?"
"Oh. So you two have similar interests!"
