Life is more than just living

Lin Zhiyuan looked at Chen Xu in confusion, "Actually, I don't quite understand: you respect and rely on my mother very much, don't you say you love the house and the bird! Why do you hate me so much? I don't seem to have offended you, right? "

Chen Xu was speechless for a moment. Although she complained about Lin Zhiyuan in her heart, it was not suitable to speak out. After all, she was Lin Zhiyuan's mother, and he was even more sad. He had already lost his mother, and there was no reason for him to make matters worse. So Chen Xu said: "We are not familiar with each other after all. I have forced myself to believe you to the greatest extent. When you said you wanted to help me and let me live here because of Wang Zhiqiang's incident, I did it for the sake of Teacher Lin. Believe you, after all, I just lived in a man's house so casually. In fact, it was very risky for me to do so. You think: the children of good people are not necessarily good people."

Lin Zhiyuan looked at Chen Xu and said with a wry smile: "You are really frank. However, although I am not a good person, I will never hurt you. Just because you still remember my mother, I will do my best. I will do my best to protect you and help you."

Chen Xu didn't want to continue this topic. She looked at the glasses on the dining table and said, "Aren't these myopia glasses? I remember you weren't myopia before." Lin Zhiyuan smiled and said, "There was a time when people said something about my eyes. It was too sharp and murderous, so I put on glasses. This makes me look more refined and elegant, and blocks the uncomfortable things in my eyes."

Chen Xu stopped talking, but Lin Zhiyuan left immediately without the knowledge. Instead, he repeated the old words: "Actually, I can make do with cooking, but I can't do it well. If you don't like hiring people to cook, , the two of us have dinner together, I can do it too." Chen Xu was speechless and rubbed his forehead, why did he insist on having dinner with him? Chen Xu felt that he was out of luck. Liu Jingsheng had been pestering him at the beginning to make friends with him, and now there was a man in his 40s and [-]s who wanted to have dinner with him. What was going on? Are you so lovable? If she is so lovable, why doesn't her father, mother, and grandmother like her and want her?

Chen Xu didn't want to agree to him just like that. She looked into Lin Zhiyuan's eyes and said, "If my brother knew what you were thinking, would he come over and beat you up?" Lin Zhiyuan smiled disapprovingly, "It's up to him. That’s right! He’s not your husband, why should he care so much? Besides, wouldn’t it be good to have one more brother? One more person to protect you and care about you!”

Seeing that Chen Xu still didn't agree, Lin Zhiyuan became a little uneasy, "I just don't understand, why can Liu Jingsheng do it but I can't? Don't worry, I don't have any bad thoughts towards you. I already have feelings for women." I'm not interested anymore. Women are just that big of a deal. I don't have any illusions, and I don't take things between men and women seriously, but I still long for some family affection. Originally, we could have become brothers and sisters of the opposite sex, but I I am also afraid that something might happen to you in the future."

Chen Xu smiled helplessly, "I thank you for considering me so much."

Chen Xu did not agree to Lin Zhiyuan's request to have dinner together every day. She said: "Brother Lin, the reason Liu Jingsheng and I can be brothers and sisters is because we are close in age and had no friends at first. We just sympathized with each other! But you are different. , you are so much older than me, and I don’t know you at all. So, I can’t agree rashly. We are neighbors, and we may meet occasionally when commuting to and from get off work. I don’t object to saying hello and saying a few words to you. But even if we eat together every day, I feel unaccustomed to it. What I can promise you is: if I am at home, I can treat you to a dinner every weekend. But please declare in advance that it is just a home-cooked meal, and guests can do whatever they want. You can't be picky about food." Lin Zhiyuan sighed and said, "Okay, then I have to pay some living expenses, right? I can't just eat for free all the time!" Chen Xu shook his head, "No need, I've eaten at your house many times before. The meals are all free. It’s agreed that dinner will be every Saturday." Chen Xu had no choice but to relent after all.

Lin Zhiyuan said seriously: "Then if you are not at home on a certain weekend, you have to make up for it next week." Chen Xu didn't want to worry about it anymore, so he reluctantly agreed.

Chen Xu told Liu Jingsheng this matter during the video chat with Liu Jingsheng that night. Unexpectedly, Liu Jingsheng exploded at that time, "Lin Zhiyuan, this bastard, he is an old gangster. He clearly promised me not to harass you, but I didn't expect that he would keep his word. He is so untrustworthy. No, I have to go over and teach you a lesson." Give him a meal." Chen Xu quickly said: "Brother, brother! Okay, don't be angry, it's no big deal. I owe his mother a huge favor. As long as he doesn't do anything excessive, we can be more tolerant to him. Come on! Think about it, if Teacher Lin didn’t take me to school more than ten years ago, I’m afraid I would still be illiterate now! If you think about it, an illiterate person today would be bullied even when he works. Especially me I'm just okay, so I'm more likely to be bullied. If I hadn't gone to college, how could we have met? What would my life be like now? What's more, Teacher Lin has always taken good care of me for so many years. Plus. I couldn’t have breakfast at home, and she was afraid that I wouldn’t grow taller, so she would boil two eggs for me every day and take me to her house for lunch. She taught me a lot of knowledge and life skills from this point on Said, I owe Teacher Lin too much. With her gone, I have no way to repay. It stands to reason that I should return this kindness to Brother Lin. He is not as strong as he appears on the surface, and he is full of loneliness in his heart. Loneliness and fear, but I think what he is afraid of is not death or revenge, but fear that he is the only one in the world. But he doesn’t believe in other people’s feelings. Maybe because of my relationship with Teacher Lin, he That’s why you’ll treat me differently.”

Liu Jingsheng gasped heavily over there, "This bastard! I can't spare him. This stinky and shameless guy."

Chen Xu held the chubby pink pig and pressed its nose from time to time. When Liu Jingsheng saw it, he couldn't help but laugh, "There are so many stuffed toys at home, let me pack them up and send you a few!" Chen Xu refused decisively, "No, just leave them at home!" Liu Jingsheng smiled, "Where are you? Isn't it also a home?" Chen Xu shook his head, "A place without family is not a home! It's just a house."
