Grew Up in an Orphanage

Before she could make her decision, Auntie Li appeared again and urged her to take a seat.

In the end, Gu Xin Ye chose a seat far from their table and sit down. It was best to pretend that she did not know them. However, although she had kept her distance, Gu Xin Ye could still feel Qin Zhan and Li Jun Xuan's eyes on her.

Gu Xin Ye took out her phone and started to text her friend, Shen Yi Nian to avoid feeling awkward. Anyway, the most important thing was to avoid Mo Cheng Feng. The others might not know her identity but Mo Cheng Feng most probably would know her.

Meanwhile, Qian Lin looked at her friends and saw that the two of them were looking at that woman. A light appeared in her eyes and the corner of her lips turned into an amused smile.

"Alright, stop looking already." Qian Lin chuckled.

The two men looked away quickly. However, when they saw the suggestive look on Qian Lin's face, they immediately knew that their friend had misunderstood things. They wanted to explain but couldn't find any words to say. They were afraid that the more they speak, Qian Lin would definitely misunderstand them.

However, both Qin Zhan and Li Jun Xuan had their own thoughts regarding Gu Xin Ye.

The girl has been working for Qin Zhan for a week but they still haven't figured out what this girl was planning to do.

From the very beginning, Gu Xin Ye agreed to part-time at the noodle stall, Qin Zhan and Li Jun Xuan had thought that the girl was hiding something.

Although Luo Qi said that it was not unusual for someone to take a part-time job while they were on a vacation, Qin Zhan was not that stupid.

The past few days, he has been observing this woman.

However, she only came to work at his noodle stall and went back to the B&B. So far, Gu Xin Ye had not tried to do anything that would raise his suspicion.

At this time, Qin Zhan was almost convinced that Gu Xin Ye was too bored with her daily life that she had decided to experience life and suffer at his noodle stall.

He really could not understand what this girl was thinking about.

Qian Lin turned to Qin Zhan and spoke, "Qin Zhan, what do you want to do now? Are you planning to return to the family?"

"Lin Lin, what are you saying?" Li Jun Xuan had a displeased look on his face. "I don't agree for him to return. A long time has passed. But the Zhou family only thinks to look for Qin Zhan now. I think they are plotting something."

Qian Lin flashed an annoyed look at her friend. "You shut up. Is this matter related to you or Qin Zhan?"

Li Jun Xuan was scolded by this former gangster and started to shrink his neck. It seemed that no matter how many years has passed, he would still be afraid of Qian Lin.

"In the end, the person who had to make a decision is you," Qian Lin said.

Qin Zhan looked at his friends as he ran his finger on the glass. "Why would I want to return? They obviously did not want me to return."

"But not too long ago, you said that you are ready to return to the family," Qian Lin pointed out.

Qin Zhan pursed his lips into a thin line. "Well, I changed my mind."

"Then, are you planning to stay in this town and look after Grandpa Chen's noodle stall forever?" Qian Lin tilted her head to one side. "Or are you planning to return to Capital City soon? Didn't you tell us that your boss would let you return to work whenever you are ready to return?"

Qin Zhan narrowed his eyes at Li Jun Xuan. If this person did not say anything to Qian Lin, would this girl return to Z Town to scold him?

Li Jun Xuan knew well that he would be weak against Qian Lin. No matter what the girl said, he would not dare to go against her words.

Qin Zhan was someone who grew up in an orphanage after his parents passed away. The place he was sent to was not a good place.

There were a lot of kids around and the caretakers were abusive. Once he grew older enough, Qin Zhan had run away and escaped from this orphanage.

He had little money with him.

At that time, Qin Zhan had snuck into a lorry until he arrived in Z Town.

He had no place to go and continued to walk around aimlessly. The people continued to look at him in disgust.

In the end, he arrived at Grandpa Chen's noodle stall.

The delicious smell from the beef broth was too tempting. Qin Zhan knew that he did not have enough money to enjoy this bowl of delicacies. He could only stand at the roadside while watching the old man pulling the noodles.

Who would have thought that the old man would notice his action?

Grandpa Chen made him a bowl of noodles and had asked his daughter to send them to him. She told him that he did not have to pay.

Qin Zhan was too hungry and had finished the bowl of noodles quickly.

He wanted to thank Grandpa Chen for the food and waited until the customers had left.

When he finally spoke to Grandpa Chen, the old man had offered for him to stay with him. The old man said that as long as he could come and help him at the noodle stall, he would be given a place to stay and food to eat.

Later, he met with Qian Lin and Li Jun Xuan, the two troublemakers while he was helping Grandpa Chen at his noodle stall.

Qian Lin's grandpa and Li Jun Xuan's father were policemen and would frequently bring them to eat at the noodle stall.

Since they were around the same age, Grandpa Chen had asked them to look after him.

Qin Zhan did not want to get along with them. However, on that day when he was bullied by that bunch of kids, it was Qian Lin and Li Jun Xuan who had shown up to help him.

He watched as Qian Lin beat a few young boys until they were badly injured. Because she was trying to help him, Qian Lin was punished severely by her grandfather.

Qin Zhan later learned that Qian Lin was someone like him. Her parents were no longer around.

Since then, they became closer. Qian Lin became someone that he looked up to.

A little on Qin Zhan's background and their friendship.

I thought about it and figured that it's time to write a little bit on his thought as well. What do you think?

Thank you for your support~
