I Really Didn’t Want to Increase My Favorability!

Chapter 88

Are you asleep? Ji Yuns faint voice came to his ear, as if she was preparing to leave.

He quickly reached out from under the blanket and grabbed her leg.

Ah~!

A scream was about to come out, but Ji Yun immediately covered her mouth and looked down to see a pair of shining eyes.

Youre not asleep yet?

Im just using my phone under the covers.

You scared me.

You scared me more. I reached out and touched a leg.

Sorry, Xu Lin, I couldnt sleep well. I wanted to see if you were still awake.

Yeah, why didnt you go home today? Xu Lin sat up from under the blanket and leaned against the back of the sofa.

They had another argument, my mom went back to her family, and my dad followed her. Theres no one at home today.

Whats it about this time? You didnt tell me the reason last time, but this time you came over to my place, I have to ask.

When Ji Yun suddenly became so sad last time, Xu Lin wanted to ask, but in order to take care of her emotions at the time, he didnt ask.

Its possible that my dad is having an affair.

An affair? Maybe its a misunderstanding?

I hope its a misunderstanding too, but my mom said she saw him hugging another woman.

What did your dad say?

He didnt say anything, just insisted that he didnt have an affair. He said he would tell my mom the truth after some time.

But if they were seen hugging, and your dad doesnt explain, shell definitely be even more angry.

Xu Lin seemed to recall some things about his own parents.

Yeah, my mom wants him to tell her the identity of that woman, but my dad refuses to say anything, and then they end up quarreling.

It was that day when I intervened to stop their quarrel, but accidentally got injured myself. Luckily, they also calmed down afterward.

After you advised me, I also calmed down and went back to separate them, had a separate chat with each, and they settled down.

Mom agreed to wait a few days to see what he would say, but yesterday, she planned to return to grandmas birthday with dad.

But my dad said he had something to do. Instantly, mom got angry and questioned if he was going to see that woman!

Dad nodded directly. Then my mom didnt quarrel or fight, just took her bag and left for her parents house. Dad also went there today.

As she spoke, Ji Yun clenched her fists tighter, and Xu Lin reached out, holding her hand.

He turned her palm over, intertwining their fingers, feeling a bit cool and soft.

Ji Yun also looked at him, tears shimmering in her eyes, leaning toward him. Xu Lin reached out with his other hand, embracing her shoulder.

Wearing just a thin layer of pajamas must be cold, right? I havent turned on the air conditioning. Do you want to snuggle under the blanket?

Xu Lins tone was like that of a mischievous man holding a lollipop, but Ji Yun unexpectedly nodded.

I was kidding!

Give me some space, why so stingy? Ji Yun smiled and squeezed into his blanket.

Xu Lin let go of the corner of the blanket, letting her in directly. Compared to the touch and fragrance of a beautiful girl, the first feeling was actually crowded.

A bit cramped.

But its warm. Ji Yun gave a faint smile.

Oh, by the way, I noticed that the bruise on your leg hasnt completely faded yet?

There is still a little bit left. You fell harder than me, do you still have bruises?

There is nothing left where I could see Its like It faded away most of that day, and by the next day, its almost all gone. Xu Lin thought to himself, pulling out a hand from under the covers and examining it. He found that the wound on his hand had completely disappeared, leaving no trace.

Did I awaken some strange superpower? I didnt even buy a Healing Bead yesterday.

Whats wrong?

Nothing, continue talking about your thing. Do you know why your father insisted on finding that woman?

Im not sure. If it was just an affair, he wouldnt have to go to such lengths. I feel there must be a reason.

Yeah, I believe Uncle Ji. But youre also quite pitiful, being left alone at home.

Haha, parents matters, children ultimately cant control anything.

They actually consider me a lot. Whenever Im at home, its always quiet. When I go to school, I can still hear my mom yelling before I reach the elevator.

As she said this, Ji Yun also chuckled bitterly, unconsciously leaning into him again, and Xu Lin adjusted his arms position to make her more comfortable.

Thanks. If my parents dont come back in the next few days, can I stay here temporarily?

Of course, you can stay as long as you want, even for a lifetime.

Xu Lin smiled at her, but Ji Yun sensed the meaning behind his words and lightly slapped his arm.

I didnt say Ill marry you.

I didnt say that either~

Hmph!

Okay, let me tell you something about my parents then?

Uncle and Auntie are so kind, please dont show me your parents affection.

Ji Yun thought of the night when Father Xu hid money, just to fulfill his wifes dream from her youth, and she was deeply moved.

With such parents, unable to reconcile with her own, even if they hadnt caused this incident, they would still argue all the time, rarely having moments of peace.

Im sorry, Class Monitor Ji, even though you excel in your studies, there are things you dont know, such as the fact that a couple cant go through life without friction.

Its just a matter of scale; many conflicts dont show in public. Even if you dont tell me about your parents, I still think highly of them.

So, dont judge by appearances. No matter how good things were before marriage, conflicts and friction arise afterward.

The major conflicts usually stem from material aspects, like money and life pressures. Minor ones can be about cleaning, cooking, or doing laundry, which might lead to a few arguments.

But these arent bad things; theyre essential experiences in life, especially in marriage. Going through ups and downs is what life is about, walking through rough paths.

In the end, if you can still live together, feel the sweetness amidst bitterness, thats meaningful, a healthy and happy marriage.

Let me give you an example, my parents story. My mom actually had an affair.

What?! Thats impossible Ji Yun widened her eyes in disbelief.

Its true, but it was an emotional affair, as my mom openly admitted to me.

At that time, I wasnt born yet. My mom had just married Old Xu and soon became pregnant. But Old Xu was still young and had a hot temper, very proud.

He looked down on making small money, aiming for bigger gains but failing. This led to frequent arguments with mom, even physical altercations a few times.

So, mom chose to work elsewhere temporarily to cool off. During this time, she met another man, her boss, who treated her well, looked better than my father, and was wealthier.

With his gentle approach, mom, in an unstable state, developed feelings for him, but she still respected my dad.

She honestly told Old Xu about the possibility of liking someone else.

Old Xu ran straight to her side, proposing to her again in front of everyone, apologizing. He said he wouldnt resort to violence anymore and would listen to her in everything and so on.

In the end, mom chose dad, saying that if he broke his promise even once, they would divorce immediately. And my dad kept all his promises until now.

Later they had arguments, faced obstacles, many of which I witnessed, but they still came through.

Hearing this, Ji Yun took a deep breath and sighed, Has such a thing really happened

Yes, thats why there arent many of those scenarios in TV dramas.

Xu Lin if I mean, if we get married, will our future be like this?

Ji Yun asked shyly, her voice barely audible, but Xu Lin heard it clearly, and his lips curled slightly.

No, it wont!

Why? Didnt you just say theres bound to be some ups and downs?

Ji Yun looked puzzled at Xu Lin.

Youll know when the time comes.

Xu Lin thought of the scene with 12 wives in his head, hmm maybe they wont even argue. If they did, someone might just disappear, never reaching the point of divorce.
