Lin Qingqian glanced at him. “Going to make your bed.”
‘Otherwise, would you sleep in a pigsty?’
Jiang Yanshen’s long eyelashes fluttered. In the next second, he bent down and picked her up horizontally.
When Lin Qingqian reacted, she was already in his arms. The man’s deep voice rang in her ears. “Where’s the room? I’ll carry you there.”
Her fair fingertips pointed to the back door.
Lin Chaoyan’s room was in front while her grandfather’s room and her room were in the backyard.
Jiang Yanshen then carried her into the backyard. There was another row of rooms behind, about three rooms.
Lin Qingqian pointed to the middle room so Jiang Yanshen carried her in and turned on the lights.
The cheap gas lamp emitted a dim light, illuminating the room.
There was a red wooden table, a chair, and a wooden bed. Other than the two quilts, there was nothing else.
Seeing that the chair was relatively clean, Jiang Yanshen placed her carefully on the chair. “Where are the bedsheets?”
Lin Qingqian pointed at the cabinet on the desk.
Jiang Yanshen opened it and saw a few bed covers inside. He casually took the top set.
The cover was bright red with begonia flowers printed on it. In the middle of the cover was a word: Happiness!
Lin Qingqian saw that his expression was strange and bit her lip. “Auntie bought it when we registered our marriage. It has always been at home and wasn’t used. This time, I specially washed it and prepared it as a backup.”
In other words, if he didn’t use this set, he would not have any bedsheets.
After hearing her words, Jiang Yanshen lowered his head to look at the bedsheets in his hand. It was unknown what he was thinking, but his Adam’s apple couldn’t help but move a few times.
Lin Qingqian blinked. “Why don’t... I take off my bedsheets for you to use?”
Jiang Yanshen: “No need.”
He turned around and walked to the bed to make it. His movements did not look practiced, but it was passable.
Even though this man was in the most impoverished environment, every move he made exuded an innate nobility.
Jiang Yanshen barely tidied up the bedsheets and pillow cover. He couldn’t help but frown. “Why is there only one pillow?”
The pillowcase was also bright red, with the word ‘happiness’ printed on it.
Lin Qingqian: “My grandfather has been single for many years, so of course he only has one pillow.”
Jiang Yanshen’s frown deepened, especially since he was holding another red pillow case.
Lin Qingqian saw that his expression wasn’t good and hesitated for a moment. “Why don’t I give you my pillow?”
“No need!” After saying that, Jiang Yanshen took off his coat and folded it quickly. Then, he stuffed it into the pillowcase and placed it beside the pillow.
Lin Qingqian: “.. ‘
Looking at the two pillows neatly placed together, she felt a little complicated.
“Rest early. I’ll go back and rest too.”
Just as she got up, the man was already standing in front of her. He picked her
up again and said in a low voice, “I’ll carry you there.”
Lin Qingqian’s room was just beside his room.
Her room had an extra bookcase and a new closet unlike her grandpa’s. Lin Chaoyan had bought them for her this year.
Jiang Yanshen walked to the bed and carefully carried her down. He casually glanced around and said in a low voice, “Call me anytime if there’s need.”
With that, he turned around and walked out as though he had no intention of pestering her.
Lin Qingqian glanced at his back view as he walked to the door and couldn’t help but say, “Jiang Yanshen...”
His tall figure paused and he turned around to look at her. Her little face, which was immersed in the dim light, was filled with complicated and uneasy emotions.
Lin Qingqian lowered her eyes, her voice muffled.. “That night...”
