Reincarnation in the 60s: My Spatial Supermarket Brings Forth Wealth-Chapter 369 - 367: Confession in the Rain

"Lin Shan, if you really want to help me, please take me away! If I stay, sooner or later my parents will trade me for a dowry!" Shen Xiaoran mustered the courage to speak her mind, "To them, I’m only worth some dowry! If you don’t take me away, I’m not saying I won’t repay you, but sooner or later my parents will still trade me for a dowry! Don’t worry! I won’t cling to you! Just take me away from here! I’ll work to repay the five hundred yuan!"

Lin Shan was a bit taken aback. He indeed helped her not to buy her, but what she said wasn’t wrong. If he didn’t take her away, her mother would definitely sell her again.

So, he nodded, "Alright, but don’t get me wrong, I’m not buying you!" Lin Shan clarified his words.

Shen Xiaoran’s eyes dimmed a bit; she originally thought she could marry him, but now, she could only take one step at a time.

"Got it! Don’t worry! I won’t be like my mom!" Shen Xiaoran assured, "I promise not to force you!"

"Go home and prepare, give me your home address! I’ll come to pick you up when I leave!"

He couldn’t let her stay with him at the hospital, so this was the only way for now.

The girl easily left, leaving her home address behind, but repeatedly confirmed that he must come to pick her up. Otherwise, her brother and sister-in-law didn’t welcome her.

After staying in the hospital for three days, Grandpa’s condition improved a bit, and he was transferred to the Capital City.

Lin Xue talked with the director for a long time, and in the end, the hospital sent a vehicle and doctor to take Grandpa Wang and Wang Yongsheng to Kyoto Hospital.

The cost was a bit high, but along the way, there was IV drips, and various checks wouldn’t be delayed.

Originally, Lin Daliang and Wang Cuihua were going to accompany, but Grandma insisted on sitting in the medical transport vehicle as well. Thankfully, the vehicle was big enough to fit them, Wang Cuihua and her spouse, Li Xiuying, and Niu Yingying.

As a result, Wang Xiaofang sat with her cousin’s son in Lin Xue’s car, which also provided companionship for Little Linbao on the road.

The rest of Second Uncle’s family sat in Lin Chuan’s car, which perfectly filled one vehicle.

Lin Shan took Shen Xiaoran alone, with the car filled with luggage.

Even though the family’s luggage had been reduced repeatedly, it still filled three car trunks to the brim, and Lin Shan’s car’s back seat was also packed full.

The small car followed the medical vehicle, stopping and resting along the way, and it took five days to finally reach the Capital City.

As soon as the two patients were sent to the hospital, it started pouring rain.

Everyone was immensely grateful, as if it had rained halfway, some roads would have been difficult to navigate, causing inevitable delays and additional costs for the medical vehicle. They didn’t mind the expense, but delays in treatment would hinder optimal care.

After arriving, everyone was first taken home, and Wang Cuihua and Lin Daliang had no time to return home, staying at the hospital. Li Xiuying eventually succumbed to exhaustion and was sent home by Lin Xue, with Grandma Bai Xianglan taking care.

The whole family was overwhelmingly busy, and even Second Uncle was hospitalized, while the children from both families stayed at home, well looked after.

With all the chaos, Lin Xue had no time to ask her brother what he planned to do with the girl he brought back?

That night, when she returned to the hospital, her brother found her and explained the situation, asking if he should take the girl away.

Lin Xue could tell that her brother was quite into the girl, so she nodded, "Take her away; you’ve already started helping, finish what you started!"

The girl had already said she wouldn’t cling to her brother, and since her brother liked her, they should see how it goes. If her character is decent, she wouldn’t object.

He brought her back, but she’s still staying at home with some of the cousins, and there hasn’t been a chance to arrange anything yet.

Over on Lin Xia’s side, there was a lot of work at the company, and she spent the entire day her grandpa arrived at the hospital getting everything sorted out. Thus, delayed, she was still at the office working when night fell.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu hurriedly drove over in the rain.

But he found that she wasn’t the only one working; her assistant, Feng Tao, was there too!

He initially wanted to go up, but remembering she didn’t like him interfering with her work too much, he held back and waited outside.

Through the window, he could faintly see their figures, and he waited like this, all night.

When Lin Xia came down, she saw Zhang Yu standing in the rain, drenched.

She hurried over, "Are you crazy? Why are you standing here?"

Her face was visibly anxious and blaming; she hadn’t expected him to come pick her up, but why didn’t he stay in the car?

Zhang Yu was standing there with his eyes closed, thinking about all the times over the years he’d pursued her, every confession being rejected, yet each setback only spurred him further.

But it’s been four years, and she still hasn’t accepted him. Even men she has only known for a few days could engage her in conversation and laughter, while he had to humbly watch from the sidelines.

He remembered the feeling of being rejected each time, feeling a bit lost. Despite his immense love for her, feeling as if he’d go insane without her, he wondered whether unreciprocated feelings like this have any reason to continue?

Should he step away? Even though he still adored her, everything about her still attracted him, he couldn’t justify pursuing like this forever, could he?

When he saw her rushing over, blaming him with an anxious tone, it felt as if his dying heart was revived.

"I’m here to pick you up from work!" Zhang Yu smiled, deciding to give himself one more chance, one last time. If he was rejected again, he’d let go completely.

"Are you stupid? Why come to pick me up? I can drive myself! Besides, why stand in the rain if you’re picking me up? What if you get sick?" Lin Xia slapped Zhang Yu’s back with a smack, and as they stood under the umbrella, Zhang Yu didn’t mind at all, looking steadily at Lin Xia without speaking.

Lin Xia became anxious, wondering if he had a fever, why was he still standing there dazed? She quickly checked his forehead with the back of her hand.

"You’re not burning up! Why are you still out of it?"

Zhang Yu had prepared himself mentally, and when Lin Xia checked his forehead again, he spoke.

"Lin Xia, I like you! I’m crazy about you! I feel like I can’t live without you for the rest of my life!" he said with a self-mocking laugh, "I know you don’t like me, maybe you only see me as a friend, with no other feelings. But I’m still not giving up, I want to earnestly tell you again, I like you! This is the last time. If you still can’t like me, then I’ll step away and won’t disturb you anymore! Do you like me even a little? If just a little, nod your head! I can be revived and continue to wait for you to like me a bit more until you can’t imagine marrying anyone else but me!"

Lin Xia was a bit dazed, she didn’t feel nothing as Zhang Yu said. She liked him too, but wasn’t sure how such familiar people could start a romantic relationship.
