Huo Jingrui delivered the things to Liu Chenglin. "Your brother asked me to bring this to you."
Liu Chenglin took them. "Is he doing all right?"
Huo Jingrui stared into his eyes. "Do you blame your brother?"
Liu Chenglin glanced at the items in his hand and shook his head. "No. Someone in the family always had to be sent to the countryside. It’s the same wherever you end up. Besides, we only plant once a year here and can loaf around in the winter. I should count myself lucky."
Huo Jingrui patted his shoulder. "It’s good that you can see it that way. Your brother asked me to tell you that your sister’s health has improved a lot. You don’t need to worry about her."
Liu Chenglin glanced next door. "Are you here to see Chu Zhiqing?"
Huo Jingrui nodded. "Yes, I have something to discuss with her."
Liu Chenglin gave a slight cough and said, seemingly offhandedly, "There are plenty of people wanting to chase after Chu Zhiqing."
Upon hearing this, Huo Jingrui’s face remained composed, but his heart tightened. "Did your brother tell you anything?"
Liu Chenglin’s lips curved into a triumphant smile. "No, I was just guessing."
Liu Chenglin had said that only because he remembered what his elder brother mentioned before leaving and wanted to confirm his own suspicion. Judging by Big Brother Huo’s reaction, his guess was probably correct.
Thinking of home, he wasn’t devoid of resentment at first about being sent to the countryside. He had already secured a job; why did *he* have to be the one sent?
He had made a scene at home over it and had even frightened his sister into hospitalization.
Only when he calmed down did he realize that his sister had always been delicate and couldn’t withstand stress. His parents were worried about her health, which was why they had considered sending him to the countryside.
