Chapter 1052: What is there to be shy about?(3)
Xia Chenglin couldnât help but look a little dazed when he heard that.
Twenty-five years ago, on a rainy night, he had asked someone to specially bring a box of fresh loquats from the south. That night, he had asked the driver to drive him to the Li familyâs house, wanting to give her a surprise.
Who knew that when he arrived at the Li family, he found out that Li Qing had gone out for dance lessons at night. His sister Li Yuâs eyes lit up when she saw the box of loquats. He really couldnât stand that pair of longing eyes, so he could only open the box.
After that, Li Qing came back. When she saw the loquat that had been opened and eaten by Li Yu and her parents, she did not say anything. She glanced at him and turned around to walk into the bedroom.
He still remembered that she had worn a lotus leaf green dress that day. She had been practicing folk dance since she was young, and her figure was tall and slender. Her figure was graceful, and her face was beautiful. There was a hint of anger on her small face, and her straight and proud back made his heart skip a beat for the entire night.
âOld mister? Old sir?â A series of probing cries rang out in his ears.
Xia Chenglin pulled his thoughts back with difficulty. He lowered his head and looked at Aunt Qiao.â Iâm sorry, I was distracted just now.ââ
Aunt Qiao smiled and said warmly,â Itâs alright, Old Sir. I was just asking if you have a family member hospitalized here too.â
Xia Chenglin felt bitter in his heart, but he could only nod.â Yes, my daughter is hospitalized here.â
âI see. Itâs not easy for you, sir. Itâs so late and you still have to take care of your daughter in the hospital.âAunt Qiao sighed. She couldnât help but sympathize with Xia Chenglin.
When the elevator arrived, Auntie Qiao walked out with the trash and said with a smile,â Old Sir, thenâ¦â Iâll be leaving first.â
Xia Chenglin couldnât help but say,â Please wait a moment.ââ
.
Ten minutes later, the two of them arrived at a fruit shop outside the hospital.
When Xia Chenglin finally picked out a bag full of loquats, the shop owner looked at the two of them and smiled helplessly.â This old man is really an expert. Look at the size of the loquats he picked. Theyâre all about the same size. Look at the color of the loquats. Theyâre all well-ripened. I guarantee theyâll taste good!ââ
Auntie Qiao nodded and looked at Xia Chenglin.â Sir, Iâm sorry to trouble you. I didnât expect you to be an expert in choosing fruits.ââ
Xia Chenglin smiled and brought the bag of loquats to the cashier to be weighed.
After weighing it, he opened his wallet and took out a note.
Auntie Qiao was anxious and quickly went forward to stop him.â Old Sir, let me pay for this. Youâve already helped me choose loquats. I canât let you spend any more money.ââ
Xia Chenglin said,â Itâs alright.â He put down the money and walked out of the fruit shop with the loquat.
Aunt Qiao had no choice but to put her wallet back and follow him out.
.
Xia Chenglin didnât say anything. He kept walking with his head lowered. He stopped at the entrance of the hospital lobby and handed the heavy bag to Aunt Qiao.
Aunt Qiao took the bag, her heart filled with doubt. This old man was a littleâ¦Wasnât he too enthusiastic?

However, since she was a friend of the old lady, it was not appropriate for her to say anything as a servant. She could only thank her repeatedly before rushing back to the ward.
In the dark, Xia Chenglin stood at the door for a while before turning around and walking toward the parking lot.

Returning to the Xia residence, it was still a cold room.
The large living room was brightly lit, but there was no sign of the mistress.
