Although Lin and Xi returned home on vacation, some things still needed to be handled remotely, so they stayed in the hotel most of the time and did not go out.

Until Fang Qingning came back from work and asked him out for dinner.

In the years abroad, I have long been used to the existence of wrist watches. Now that I take off my wristwatches when I return to China, and occasionally raise my left hand to check the time, but only see the empty wrists, Lin Hexi even feels that the bottom of my heart is also Then it became empty.

Before leaving for an appointment at noon, Lin Hexi found an old watch from the suitcase and put it on again.

The place where the two made an appointment to eat was a popular western restaurant in the city center. Fang Qingning arrived earlier than him, dressed like ordinary students, wearing sunglasses and a baseball cap, and sat in a relatively remote place in the store. Waiting for him in the corner.

When Lin and Xi sat down opposite her, they almost failed to recognize her.

Obviously seeing through his thoughts, Fang Qingning took off his sunglasses and put them on the table, and asked him with crooked eyes, "Do you not recognize me?"

Lin Hexi nodded sincerely, and then raised his eyebrows, "You still dare to come to a restaurant in the city center to eat, and you are not afraid of being recognized by fans?"

"I've wanted to eat at this restaurant for a long time, but I couldn't make an appointment before. Besides," Fang Qingning flipped through the menu excitedly, not paying attention to Lin Hexi's teasing, "I'm not popular enough to be there now. The degree to which he is recognized by fans on the street.”

Lin Hexi laughed when he heard this.

After the two of them ordered and waited for the food to be served, Fang Qingning couldn't help asking him, "Will you go again when you return to China this time?"

Lin and Xi didn't think much, "My job is still in the United States."

Fang Qingning was stunned, "You can go back to China to find a job."

"If it weren't for your email, I probably wouldn't be going back to China now." Lin Hexi looked down at the desktop, and after a moment of silence, he finally said calmly, "When did you talk about You Zhongzhong getting married?" ?”

Fang Qingning also showed a puzzled expression, "I don't know."

Unexpectedly, there would be such an answer waiting for him, Lin Hexi was surprised, "I don't know?"

Fang Qingning said truthfully: "All sources can't tell the exact time."

A little hope suddenly floated in the bottom of my heart, Lin Hexi murmured: "Could it be fake news?"

Fang Qingning shook her head, "No."

Since it is not fake news, then excluding those possibilities, there is only one answer left.

Fang Qingning added: "The news was released by You Zhong himself."

It is never the lack of hope that breaks people's confidence, but the great disappointment and disappointment ushered in in the gradually born expectations.

Even though he was pretending to be indifferent, Lin Hexi still couldn't hide his depression.

Fang Qingning was going to the company to meet her manager in the afternoon, and after the two had finished eating, they stopped staying in the restaurant for long.

The assistant drove over to pick her up. Fang Qingning put on her sunglasses and went downstairs with Lin Hexi.

It happened to be a crowded weekend, and there were no more parking spaces in the underground parking lot on the ground floor of the shopping mall. The assistant could only park the car in a temporary parking space on the side of the road opposite the square in front of the shopping mall, and asked Fang Qingning to walk across the square in front of the shopping mall to go to Get on the opposite side of the road.

Lin and Xi wanted to go to the side of the square to take a taxi, so they went with her.

It's just that when the two walked to the fountain pool in the middle of the square, something unexpected happened.

The TV series that Fang Qingning participated in was on the air recently. A passing fan of the drama recognized her as a character in the drama, surrounded her in front of the fountain, and asked Fang Qingning if he could sign an autograph and take a group photo. There was quite a commotion.

Lin and Xi were isolated from the crowd by those fans, and they wanted to go forward to help her out, but when they raised their eyes and glanced at the people striding towards them in the distance, they unconsciously froze in place.

He really didn't expect that the city where he was born and grew up was so big that it was unbelievable.

Even if he just stood still like this, and the people he passed by every minute and every second were strangers with different faces, he unexpectedly met You Zhong twice during the three days he returned to China.

Lin Hexi's first reaction was to use the cover of his former fans to take off the somewhat old-looking watch he was wearing.

Fang Qingning obviously rarely encountered such a battle, and tried to break through the crowd on the grounds that those people had misidentified them, and squeezed to stand beside Lin Hexi.

Before they could drag Lin Hexi away, those people persevered and surrounded Lin Hexi and Fang Qingning between the fountain pool and the human wall.

The fans surrounding them pushed each other and approached Fang Qingning. In a panic, someone bumped heavily on Lin Hexi's raised elbow, and knocked the watch he was holding into the air after he took it off.

The watch drew an arc in the air that was neither high nor low, and fell straight into the fountain pool behind it, and soon sank to the bottom.

Lin Hexi's face turned cold suddenly, he stretched out his hand to push away those who were still squeezing Fang Qingning, turned around and raised his legs, jumped into the hot spring pool behind him where the waterline was below his thighs, rolled up his sleeves and bent down, piled up wishing coins Looking for a watch in the hot spring pool.

There is a bit of unconcealable urgency in the movements of rummaging.

Fortunately, the water in the fountain pool was crystal clear. Lin Hexi quickly picked up his watch from the water, but put it directly into his coat pocket without looking at it.

When he looked up again, You Zhong had already led people to the hot spring pool.

The security guards of the shopping mall who were following the other party drove away all the people surrounding Fang Qingning, and the ups and downs of the stern yelling fell in their ears, but Lin and Xi seemed to have ignored them, and even forgot to get out of the hot spring pool. out.

The square was bustling with pedestrians, many of whom were curious passers-by who frequently turned their heads to look at the excitement. Lin Hexi stood in the hot spring pool half-drenched, looking fixedly at the person in front of him.

The first meeting was trapped in the elevator, and the second meeting was picking up things in the hot spring pool.

It seems that meeting You Zhong twice after returning to China is not a good scene, and it can even be regarded as embarrassing.And so far, he has not been able to speak a few words to You Zhong properly.

So much so that he is not sure now whether You Zhong would be willing to have a good talk with him, such as ordinary greetings between friends.

Lin Hexi suddenly wanted to laugh, but still restrained himself.

Soon he knew that You Zhong didn't want to greet him, the other party just said to him calmly: "Why are you still standing there? Now that you have picked up something, come out."

Lin and Xiyi replied in a normal tone: "Stand back a little."

You Zhong paused, and the hand that was raised in the air turned around without a trace, inserted it into his pocket naturally, and took two steps back.

Supporting the edge of the pool with their palms, Lin Hexi turned over and jumped out of the hot spring pool, bringing out a lot of water from the pool.

He stood firm by the hot spring pool, and the surrounding dry ground immediately became wet.

Even so, the two trouser legs soaked in water were still heavy, the wet and sticky fabric was clinging to the skin of his legs, and the trouser legs of the trousers were still dripping down in large swaths.

You Zhong took two steps forward, stood still in front of him, glanced over the pocket of his coat with unpredictable emotions, and then asked, "What were you picking up just now?"

Lin and Xi paused for a moment, and took out a room card covered in water droplets from the pocket of their jacket.

Spreading the room card in his wet palm, he calmly smiled at You Zhong, "Room card, I'm picking up my room card."
