One World System

Chapter 495 Old Man (Second Change)

Familiar streets, strange people.

Lin Xiao was out of the test, and his cultivation had successfully broken through to the fourth-order Shattered Void Martial Venerable.

But he suddenly felt a little tired, so he went out.

This is Yujiang City, the place where Lin Xiao has lived for 21 years, and he has too many memories here.

However, there is no one here to make him miss.

Lin Xiao was looking at a wedding photo in the window in a daze. He was very familiar with the people in the photo. The man was his classmate, and the woman was also his classmate.

"Originally, they were all married." Lin Xiao said with emotion.

at this time……

"Brother Lin?"

Suddenly there was a shout full of surprise from behind.

Lin Xiao slowly turned his head to look.

"It's Qingqing!" Lin Xiao said with a smile.

The person calling Lin Xiao behind him was Yan Qingqing, whom she hadn't seen for many years. She hadn't seen her for more than two years, and Yan Qingqing became more beautiful than before. When she saw Lin Xiao just now, she was obviously hesitant, not sure if she was admitting her mistake people.

After all, they have not seen each other for more than two years, things are different, and when Lin Xiao left without saying goodbye, Yan Qingqing was still a little angry when he said it.

But for some reason, as soon as she saw Lin Xiao, the slight resentment that Yan Qingqing had accumulated in her heart instantly disappeared.

"Brother Lin, where have you been all this time?" Yan Qingqing came up to him and said with a complaining face.

"Walk around and relax." Lin Xiao said with a smile.

There are some things that you just need to know, Yan Qingqing and the others are not at the same level after all, there is no need to drag them into the water for many things, and Lin Xiao doesn't want them to be hurt because of his own reasons.

"The phone is always turned off when I call you." Yan Qingqing complained softly.

"I don't use that number anymore." Lin Xiao was ashamed, he didn't know where he had lost that number, in fact he hadn't even touched his cell phone for a long time.

"They're all married!" Yan Qingqing suddenly turned to look at the wedding photo in the window and said.

"En, yes." Lin Xiao nodded, then looked at Yan Qingqing with a smile and asked, "Qingqing, what about you? How are you doing? When do you plan to get married?"

Lin Xiao's words were originally a joke, but who knew Yan Qingqing's expression changed as soon as the words came out.

"Qingqing, are you okay?" Lin Xiao frowned and asked, "Did something happen?"

"Brother Lin!" Yan Qingqing bit her lower lip lightly, with tears rolling in her eyes, she choked up and said, "You know, my parents are both businessmen, and my family has been in business for generations."

Lin Xiao nodded, he naturally knew this.

"My dad has a very good friend who used to come to my house often. I also call him godfather, but a few days ago, my dad called me to the study suddenly and said he wanted to talk to me about something."

Having said this, Yan Qingqing was so choked up that she couldn't speak.

Lin Xiao hugged her gently, patted her back carefully, and comforted her.

In fact, Yan Qingqing didn't need to tell Lin Xiao what happened next, Lin Xiao could guess nine out of ten of it.

It was nothing more than her godfather came to propose marriage, and Yan Qingqing's father obviously wanted to agree, so he asked Yan Qingqing to talk, as for the content of the conversation, it was actually not important.

"Hey, don't cry, if you cry again, I will really make the sky angry and people complain." Lin Xiao said jokingly.

After all, this is a street, and there are pedestrians walking around everywhere.

A beautiful woman like Yan Qingqing leaned against Lin Xiao's chest and cried so much, Lin Xiao already felt countless murderous eyes turned towards him.

Hearing Lin Xiao's words, Yan Qingqing also stopped crying, looked up at the surrounding situation, and burst out laughing.

"Go to my house? It's not far from here." Lin Xiao said.

When Lin Xiao said this, he absolutely didn't have any other thoughts, he really just wanted to find a quiet place to listen to Yan Qingqing's complaints.

But the speaker had no intention of the listener, Yan Qingqing nodded with a blushing face, and said 'en' in a small, barely audible voice.

……

Familiar neighborhoods, familiar elevators, and familiar people.

But the relatives are no longer there. When Lin Xiao entered the house through the gate, he subconsciously opened his mouth to call "Grandpa, Grandma", but just as he opened his mouth, it stopped again.

Yes!

Grandparents are no more.

"Brother Lin, are you okay?"

Seeing Lin Xiao standing at the door and not responding, Yan Qingqing who was behind him couldn't help asking with some worry.

Came back from the memories, Lin Xiao smiled and shook his head.

"It's okay, come in and sit down." Lin Xiao said.

After closing the door, Lin Xiao waved his hand and the dusty room instantly became brand new.

"Sit down, I'll get you a glass of water." Lin Xiao said.

Yan Qingqing nodded and sat down on the sofa in the living room.

After a while, Lin Xiao came out with two glasses of water and put them on the coffee table in front of the sofa.

"Tell me, have you met the other party?" Lin Xiao said.

Hearing this, Yan Qingqing nodded.

"I saw them when I was young. They often came to my house to play, but I rarely saw them when I grew up. I didn't think why they came back to propose marriage this time. Brother Lin, I really don't know what to do."

Yan Qingqing frowned distressedly, "Father asked me to promise that when my father's business was almost framed by someone, it was their family who helped me at that time. My father said that one must know how to be grateful, but I don't want to use myself to repay this kindness." .”

While talking, Yan Qingqing started crying again.

After all, she was only a 21-year-old girl, and she stayed in the sect all the year round, so she didn't have much contact with the world. Yan Qingqing's heart was completely different from those of today's little girls. She was obviously very embarrassed about this matter.

Yan Qingqing didn't know how to choose between her father and her own lifelong happiness.

She has been worried about this matter for the past few days, and she went out shopping today because she was upset. Unexpectedly, she happened to meet Lin Xiao who was also out shopping.

Lin Xiao handed her a tissue, seeing her sad look, Lin Xiao couldn't help but shook his head and sighed.

"I want to ask you a question, do you like that man?" Lin Xiao said.

Hearing this, Yan Qingqing shook his head without thinking.

"Although we played together when we were young, we were just playmates when we were young, and I heard that he had many women outside, and he was a flirtatious playboy. I don't like such people." Yan Qingqing said.

"It's over." Lin Xiao said, "Since you don't like it yourself, there's no need to change your own mind because of other people's wishes. If your father wants to repay his favor, you can use other methods. There is no need to sacrifice your own daughter. A lifetime of happiness."

Sometimes, the elders have a good face, and they probably think that if the two young people get together often, there is nothing that they can't get along with.

Isn't love accumulated over the years?
Obviously they think so, even if the daughter may suffer a bit at first, but after a long time, they will get used to it.

It is possible that they came here in the same way when they were young. They feel that they are doing well now, and they impose their own wishes on the next generation, thinking that they are doing their best.

However, how can a child know the joy of a fish if he is not a fish?
Some things, it's important to be yourself.Of course, if your insistence is wrong, you should listen to other people's opinions.

But now, Yan Qingqing didn't like that man, it could even be said that he hated him a bit.Let her live with a person she hates for the rest of her life, and she has to see that face every morning when she wakes up. Is such a life human?

Anyway, Lin Xiao was firmly against this kind of thing, if Yan Qingqing didn't tell him, he wouldn't know.So that's all, now that he knows, as a friend, Lin Xiao really can't sit idly by.

To put it bluntly, if the other party insists on messing around, Lin Xiao doesn't mind sending them to hell.

"Brother Lin, do you think I should refuse?" Yan Qingqing looked at Lin Xiao and asked.

"Of course you have to refuse!" Lin Xiao said, "Not only do you have to refuse, but you have to refuse very strongly. You have to tell your father directly that it is absolutely impossible for you to marry someone you don't like, understand?"

"En, I understand!" Yan Qingqing nodded slightly.

"Next time you encounter something like this, you must stick to your own choice. Others will always consider it, and life will be very tiring!" Lin Xiao patted the back of her hand and said softly.

"kindness."

Yan Qingqing lowered her head, her cheeks were slightly red.

Lin Xiao noticed this, and withdrew his hand in embarrassment.

It was just a subconscious action just now, Lin Xiao didn't realize anything, but Yan Qingqing's expression made Lin Xiao suddenly understand something.

The atmosphere in the living room suddenly became ambiguous.

The two were silent for a while, and finally it was Yan Qingqing who broke the deadlock of silence.

"Brother Lin, are you still going?" She raised her head and asked.

Hearing this, Lin Xiao couldn't help nodding his head and said, "I'm afraid I'm going to leave here again in a while, and this time I'm coming back just to see my hometown."

"Ah~! I have to leave again!" Yan Qingqing frowned when she heard that Lin Xiao was going to leave again.

"Can you not leave?" she said, "Isn't it great to stay? You have been gone for almost three years."

Lin Xiao shook his head, there are some things that Yan Qingqing doesn't understand, and Lin Xiao doesn't want to talk about them, just as he thought before, it's better not to involve Yan Qingqing and the others in some things.

"I have some important things to do, so I have to go." Lin Xiao said.

Hearing Lin Xiao's words, Yan Qingqing couldn't help flashing a hint of hesitation, and then she seemed to have made a decision, and suddenly raised her head to look at Lin Xiao with a serious face.

"Brother Lin, I want to go with you!" she said loudly.

"Come with me?" Lin Xiao was stunned, then smiled wryly and shook his head.

"Where I go is very dangerous. If I take you there, I can't guarantee your safety." Lin Xiao said, "And you are still young, you still have parents to take care of, can you leave your family? ? Don’t do things that you will regret in the future because of a momentary impulse!”
