Married to the Protagonist

Chen Jinlin who was sitting alone and shivering in the cold night sniffled from time to time, but still insisted on typing on her phone with her frozen fingers when she suddenly looked up.

She had keen hearing so she could sense that the door was being opened.

…Good times finally come after the bitterness. She could almost cry.

She stood up and quickly dragged her luggage forward.

Then, the instant the door opened, the anticipant Chen Jinlin almost wanted to pounce on Chen Jinyao from being overjoyed. She had already spread her arms, but she suddenly put them down again. She stopped abruptly. Her dynamic vision allowed her to catch a glimpse at the key points. She saw several clear red marks around her collarbone and, eyes darting up, her sister’s face looked pink, and her lips also looked like they had been bitten. Chen Jinlin gulped and instantly estimated that those marks around her sister’s neck must be fresh out the oven.

“………”

The air seemed to freeze.

Chen Jinlin felt awkward and had no idea where to put her hands.

Her face looked complicated and she sucked in a breath of air.

She suddenly understood now why nobody came to open the door after so long.

She suddenly understood why it took so long for someone to pick up her call.

She suddenly understood why she had to wait so long even after the call ended.

She suddenly understood what her boyfriend meant. She was finally enlightened.

But…she really didn’t mean it!

“What’re you standing around for? Come inside.” Chen Jinyao couldn’t help but say when she saw her standing there in a daze.

As soon as she said that, she was just about to go out to help her carry the suitcase, but as soon as she took one step, Chen Jinlin suddenly spread her arms out and stopped her.

Chen Jinyao tilted her head to the side. “??????”

In the next instant, she saw Chen Jinlin bend down and give her a big bow.

When she straightened up again, Chen Jinlin watched her carefully and sounded a little less than calm. “Sorry for bothering you.

Then, dragging her suitcase with her, she turned around and began to leave.

“………”

———————————————

The warmth in the room couldn’t warm Chen Jinlin’s cold shivering heart. She was like an obedient little child who was willing to repent after doing wrong, sitting upright and remaining quiet. She kept her eye on one piece of furniture in the guest room and didn’t dare look around. She didn’t even mention a peep about her plan to have Chen Jinyao give her pointers on her lost life out of sisterly love.

She guessed that a snowstorm was going to blow through the capital today. Even if there wasn’t, there would still be one in her heart, sealing her blood in ice.

Yan Cheng’s frivolousness was gone. He was living a stable life with her older sister.

She should be happy about that, but…

Under the harsh light, Chen Jinlin was suffering the condemnation of her own conscience. She felt that she could not have committed a worse sin. Withdrawing the emotions in her eyes, she sighed.

Chen Jinyao carried a blanket in for her and smiled. “You should tell me earlier if you’re coming, then I could have prepared the room for you.”

“…Oh.” Chen Jinlin nodded and stood up to get the blanket.

The speaker didn’t mean anything by it, but the listener felt something.

For Chen Jinlin whose mind was already in a mess, it was a blatant hint that she concluded pointed to something else.

So, she opened her mouth tentatively, but she knew that the topic might bring things into an awkward direction. After some thought, she suddenly recalled what she heard recently from the Huo family next door. “Sister, is your relationship with Brother-in-law good?”

“It’s quite good,” Chen Jinyao answered honestly after a quick pause.

In this short interval of time, Chen Jinlin narrowed her eyes to study Chen Jinyao’s expression carefully, as if to check if she was lying.

Not finding anything out of place, she let it go and gulped. “Oh, that’s good.”

“…” Wasn’t she testing her a bit too obviously? Chen Jinyao raised a brow and helped lay out the bedding with her. “What are you trying to say?”

“Nothing…” She murmured.

A long silence followed after that.

Long enough that Chen Jinlin managed to calm down. Long enough that Chen Jinyao noticed how late it was and planned to head back to sleep after saying goodnight.

Chen Jinlin suddenly reached out to grab the hem of her shirt. “Sis.”

The room was quiet.

Two sisters, one standing and one sitting, looked at each other.

Chen Jinlin suddenly said two alarming sentences.

“Sis, you have to watch Brother-in-law carefully.”

“I heard Huo Qidong and Zhou Xue are having a divorce.”

After two seconds.

Things were tumbling down.

Only

Regardless of whether or not her heart was still in a glacier, Chen Jinlin took a deep breath and said, “Sis, why don’t you sleep with me tonight?”

“I have something I want to tell you.” She averted her gaze.

This little girl had grown old enough to have secrets to share with her older sister.

“…” What a bold girl, Chen Jinyao thought. She stuck her tongue in her cheek and pondered for a moment. “Sure, I’ll go tell your brother-in-law.”

“I’m worried that your brother-in-law…”

Chen Jinlin’s eyes widened. “Won’t agree?”

“Maybe. But I’m mainly worried he’ll off you,” Chen Jinyao said nonchalantly.

“………”
