106 I’ll Call Sister
Seeing this, the three aunties hurriedly bent forward to help with her bags. Lin Ci instantly felt much more relaxed.
“Young girl, let us help you carry some of it. Come, Auntie will bring you there, it’s very close.”
It was the first time Lin Ci was surrounded with so much hospitality, and she was unused to it; all she could do was thank them repeatedly as she followed behind them.
The neighborhood was not big, and Lu Ning’s family lived in the front row. It was also very close, so they arrived shortly.
!!
Along the way, the aunties chatted enthusiastically with Lin Ci.
“This young girl is really good-looking; she’s just like Lu Ning, that girl’s really beautiful. That’s the first time we’ve seen such a beautiful girl! At first, we thought that she wouldn’t be easy to get along with since she’s used to living in a big manor, but after seeing her twice, we felt that she was really easy to get along with. Don’t you think so, as her classmate?”
Lin Ci could only nod and agree.
The other two aunties were not to be outdone. “That’s right, that’s right. After talking with her I came to like her very much, she’s so well-mannered! I really like her a lot. If not for the fact that she’s still young, I would’ve introduced her to my son and had him take a good look.”
“Well, you really should keep your eye on her. Ning’ning’s about to reach adulthood, right? In two years’ time, there’ll be so many suitors wanting to woo her they’ll break down their front door. She’s such a good girl after all. If you don’t get in her good graces, your son won’t even stand a chance in the future; besides, didn’t your son just enter university? One or two years’ difference isn’t a big deal.”
Lin Ci’s face tensed up when she heard that; she was so embarrassed, she did not know what to do.
She tried her best to minimize her presence, only hoping to reach Lu Ning’s place as soon as possible.
Fortunately, they were almost there.
“Hey, young girl, over here. It’s just upstairs, let’s go.”
The aunties excitedly brought her upstairs and helped carry her things.
Lin Ci followed behind. After walking for so long, she was a little sweaty.
The auntie who reached first rapped on the door and rang the doorbell.
“Old Lu, Yunci! You home?”
They had lived here for a long time and everyone was very familiar with them, so they were all quite cordial and amicable with each other.
After a short while, the door opened. The three aunties simply placed everything inside the house, then nudged Lin Ci into the doorway.
“This girl is Lu Ning’s classmate. She couldn’t find your house so we brought her here. Alright, we’re off.”
With that, they left.
“Thank you, aunties.” Lin Ci poked her head out, thanking them.
She turned around and greeted them. “Hello, Uncle and Auntie. I’m Lin Ci, Ning’ning’s classmate. Is Ning’ning home?”
As she spoke, she looked around and did not see Lu Ning, so she decided to inquire a bit.
When Lu Zhi saw her, he broke into a smile. “Oh, I know you, I’ve seen you before. Ning’ning is tired so she’s still resting. Have a seat, I’ll go get her for you.”
Shen Yunci immediately beckoned her over. “Come in, girl. There’s a seat here.”
When Lu Jingzhi heard that he was going to call Lu Ning, he bounded down from the sofa.
“Daddy, you should entertain our guest. I’ll go get Sister.”
“Sure, alright, go ahead.”
Lu Jingzhi turned around and headed in; Lu Zhi went into the kitchen and began to cut some more fruits.
Lin Ci sat down obediently beside Shen Yunci.
“Auntie, this is some ointment my grandfather made, it should be effective for your recovery. Try it, if it’s useful I’ll get more for you.”
Lin Ci took a small flask out from her bag and handed it over.
Shen Yunci was surprised as she accepted it. “You’re so considerate. Did your grandfather make it for me? Please, give him my thanks.”
Lin Ci nodded.
Lu Zhi came out from the kitchen with a platter of sliced fruit. “You silly girl, you didn’t have to bring so many things just to visit.”
