Chapter 198 The Ending
"Have you checked all the bid bonds? Well, the documents are here with me. I will drive there overnight today. Don't worry, I have taken care of all the ins and outs."
Lin Qian glanced at Lin Yao who was driving a car and making business calls beside him.She cut her hair short, and the long fluttering hair turned into neat short hair, and she became leaner, not as self-willed as before.Thinking of Lin Yao in the past, Lin Chi felt as if he had passed away.
"Lin Chi." Lin Yao called him
Lin Chen came back to his senses, "Huh?"
"How do you go back later? Is uncle coming to pick you up?"
Lin Yao has a lot of things to do recently, and he has been running all over the place. Hearing that Lin Chen has been found, he specially took the time to come here yesterday.But she didn't have time to stay for a long time. She stayed for one night and went to another city today. It happened that today Lin Chen was going out to return the music box that Ning Fei had borrowed. Lin Chen didn't want his family to worry, so he took Lin Yao's ride.
Lin Yan blinked and looked at Lin Yao who was wearing a suit. Under the wide-legged trousers were a pair of sneakers, which was convenient for her to drive. There was a stack of documents on the back seat of the car, and a simple toiletry bag besides that. , Lin Qiu looked at the capable Lin Yao and felt a little strange, probably because she was unfamiliar with her current image?
"I'll take a taxi and go back later."
Lin Yao glanced at the street bar anxiously, "Who did you date here. Is it Yinjin?"
Lin Chen shook his head, "Yinjin is very busy."
Yin Jin has passed the examination of a licensed doctor, so there are only a lot of things to do.Yesterday, Yin Jin took the time to call Lin Chen to ask him about his situation, and mentioned Meng Yi by the way. He heard that Meng Yi was going to Africa, as a volunteer to go to the African savannah to protect the ecology and stop poachers.
"Don't worry about me, aren't you very busy? I'll take care of myself." Lin Yao urged Lin Yao to go quickly, don't delay things because of himself, and stop chatting with Lin Yao, and untied his seat belt Get out of the car immediately.
"Lin Chi!"
When he was almost at the door, Lin Yao called him to stop.Lin Chi turned around and walked back to the car. Lin Yao who was sitting in the car suddenly handed him a credit card. Lin Chi looked at her in astonishment, "What are you doing?" He wanted to push the card back, but even Lin Yao Yao is stronger than him.
Lin Yao squeezed Lin Chen's hand tightly so that he couldn't push it back. He gave Lin Chen this card on a whim. When Lin Yao sat in the car and looked at Lin Chen's back, he couldn't help feeling that Lin Chen was too thin. , Within a month, I was much thinner than before.
"Buy more food and be full. It's alright, don't say no, I have to go." After Lin Yao closed the car window, Lin Yao stared blankly at his own face reflected in the car window, He was only stunned for a while, because Lin Yao drove away in a hurry.Holding the forced card, Lin Chen looked at Lin Yao's car speeding away.
He finally understood why there was a sense of strangeness, because Lin Yao no longer looked like his sister.
"Everyone has already moved forward." Lin Chen took out the music box in his pocket and looked at it with some disappointment, "But it's only me..."
Still hesitating.
"welcome."
The bar is not open yet, only Xiaobai is diligently cleaning the table, and a familiar song is playing in the bar. Behind the bar, there are two people hugging each other, nodding their heads, rubbing each other nose to nose in love.
"What is welcome?" Shang Xuechen rolled his eyes to look at Xiaobai, "It's not business hours yet, you have to let him go back."
Shang Xuechen was in a good mood, Ji Shuping calmed down, and now he has no extra thoughts to take care of business.
"I'm here to return the things." As soon as Lin Chen uttered his voice, the loving people at the bar immediately turned their eyebrows coldly.
Ji Shuping let go of his arm, and looked coldly at Shang Xuechen, "Which brother is this?"
Shang Xuechen immediately clarified, "I don't know him." Turning his head, he felt that he had known him before, and his confidence just now was gone, "Well... it seems, it seems, maybe, I have seen him somewhere."
"Hmph." Ji Shuping snorted coldly, and the air immediately froze.Xiaobai raised the rag to cover his face, and waved to Lin Que who was standing in a daze at the door, signaling him to leave quickly.
Even though the atmosphere was a little off, Lin Chi couldn't leave because he was here to return something.
"I'm here to return something." Then he stretched out his hand and showed the other party the music box in his hand, "I made the movement of this music box." Lin Yi smiled politely at Shang Xuechen, "You don't remember me?"
"Ah!" Shang Xuechen patted his head and said pleasantly, "So it was you. I thought it was the man with the thick eyebrows who came to pay it back, but I didn't expect it to be you."
The reason why he was unhappy was that it was Lin Chi who came to pay back Ji Shuping. He knew Shang Xuechen, and Shang Xuechen loved hooking up with this kind of little boy who looked soft, weak and delicious.
But now it's not about his flirting. When he heard that Shang Xuechen had given away the music box, Ji Shuping's expression became even worse, "Huh? You gave away the music box?!"
Shang Xuechen explained again and again, "I didn't give it, I didn't give it! I just borrowed it. Didn't he return it?"
Xiaobai sighed, and collapsed on the sofa with a resigned look, "I have to start eating takeaway again."
Been eating takeout for ages.Usually Ji Shuping is in charge of three meals a day for their family. When he gets angry, the family will stop working. He has been eating takeaway for half a month before, and his tongue is almost numb.I thought that Ji Shu would calm down and have a warm meal, but the uninvited guest broke Xiaobai's fantasy.
Seeing that Ji Shuping was angry with him regardless of the matter, Shang Xuechen felt a little wronged, "Ah, why don't you think you got the record for nothing."
Lin Chi looked at Xiaobai and asked, "Did I come at the wrong time?"
Xiaobai looked at him with his chin propped up, "It's only now that you realize it, then you are slow enough."
Lin Chen smiled awkwardly, he has always been like this.
"Hmph." Shang Xuechen lay powerlessly on the table, "He's really making trouble out of nothing, making trouble for no reason!"
He was so tired of coaxing Ji Shuping, but there was no result after coaxing for a long time, the guests were still there, so Shang Xuechen simply broke the pot and went to coax Ji Shuping too lazy, and turned around and asked Lin Qiu to sit down.
Lin Chen finished returning the music box, and looked at Shang Xuechen who was lying on the table opposite, feeling a little guilty, "I'm sorry."
"It's okay. I can't rely on you, he's always like this." Shang Xuechen straightened up and squinted his eyes at Lin Chen, "But you have changed a lot."
I used to look at a jerky but innocent person, but I still have the courage to give him advice at a young age, but now I look listless.
"Really?" Lin Chen rubbed his face with a sneer, "Maybe it's because I've made a lot of mistakes in my errands over the years."
"Everyone makes mistakes, but only fools stick to their mistakes." Xiaobai rested his hands on his chin, pretended to be high-spirited and sat next to Shang Xuechen, and shook his head coolly, "Expand the sign, Cicero."
"I'm about to lose your famous quotes! Recite so many famous quotes and write essays and get 10 points old, just stay and play!" Shang Xuechen had a headache, and smiled awkwardly at Lin Qiu, "I'm sorry , this kid has a strange head since he was a child."
"I only recite famous quotes because the composition doesn't exceed 10 points." Xiaobai muttered, moved away reluctantly, found the remote control, turned on the TV, and pressed several channels in a row, but couldn't find it. Appropriate show to watch.
Lin Chen didn't mind, on the contrary, he began to think about Xiaobai's famous saying.
Looking at the silent Lin Qiao, Shang Xuechen knew without thinking that his so-called missteps must be related to feelings.Let's just take it as repayment, thinking that he had received his advice back then, otherwise he wouldn't have dared to take that step towards Ji Shuping.
"Who can't you let go of?"
Lin Qiu suddenly raised his head, and saw Shang Xuechen squinting at him and smiling.After laughing for a while, he suddenly frowned irritably, Shang Xuechen reached out his hand and gave Xiaobai a headache, "Slow down the TV!"
Not to be outdone, Xiaobai said, "I can't hear you when I'm too young! I dare not go to Brother Ji, he's angry! I don't know who to blame!"
The two people on the opposite side were arguing, but Lin Chen turned his head to look at the TV. The red carpet host was introducing the unprecedented grandeur of the ceremony, and the camera happened to show the person who had just got off the car.
"Well, isn't this a friend of Brother Jiang's?" Xiaobai looked at the person who took a photo on the red carpet, and Shang Xuechen also looked back. It was indeed the person who asked him to walk the music box that day. , I usually look very fierce, but I didn't expect that it would be very photogenic on the show.
Shang Xuechen glanced at the man who was staring at the TV opposite, understood in his heart, and muttered, no wonder.
No wonder it was Ning Fei who came to ask for the music box, but now it's Lin Chi who came to return it, and everyone knew that it must be a couple quarreling and breaking up.
Shang Xuechen watched TV for a while, and then looked at Lin Yi for a while, and nodded self-righteously. The celebrity and the amateur must have broken up because of the gap.
"Do you feel that you have been left far behind?"
Lin Chen turned his head to look at Shang Xuechen in surprise, and smiled embarrassedly after a while, "It seems that I am the only one who is still standing still."
Lin Yao, Yin Jin, Meng Yi, and Ning Fei, everyone ran too far forward, but only Lin Can was left in the desert. In the past six years, Lin Can felt that he was disconnected, disconnected from his surroundings.
"I don't know what to do anymore. It feels like I am getting farther and farther away from him."
Shang Xuechen shrugged, "There are only two endings. Either break up or stay together. But judging by your tired look, I guess you don't have confidence in your relationship. If you stay together, many things will still repeat the same mistakes. You still There will be quarrels, reconciliation, and quarrels and reconciliation."
Xiaobai interjected, "Listening to what you say, isn't it the only way to break up?"
"NONONO." Shang Xuechen waved his index finger left and right, as if he had come here, "It's not okay to break up. Breaking up will not be easy, you will not eat well, sleep well, and your heart will feel like it has been hollowed out. I hope that time can cure you, but time cannot cure you. After waiting for a long time, when you think you are cured, you are walking happily on the road. When you see a couple coming towards you, suddenly, a certain An instant will hit your face, and then hollow out the heart you thought was patched."
"What." Xiaobai listened lazily again, "Isn't that hopeless?"
Shang Xuechen spread his hands, "Loving someone is so hopeless. If you don't love him anymore, these are not problems."
Lin Chi pursed his lips and pondered, when the host's question came from the TV.
"Are you confident in this nomination? If you win the award, is there anyone you would like to thank in particular?"
"There is a person who wants to thank and say sorry to him."
Lin Chen raised his head and looked at Ning Fei who was sincerely facing the camera on TV. He was very handsome, wearing a decent suit and standing on the red carpet. He was no longer the old rascal. Your son.
Lin Chi looked at the people on TV and said, "I have to think about it."
"Remember! When you go on stage, you must say thank you fans! You are fans!"
Brother Miao gave Ning Fei thousands of instructions in the lounge.Ning Fei just held his cell phone and waited for news from Lin Chen. Lin Chen said that he would call when he made up his mind.
Ning Fei held up the phone and muttered, "Where do I get fans from?"
He thought it over, if he could really go on stage to accept the award, he would thank Lin Chi, confess his love in public, and then announce his retirement from the entertainment industry.It's boring to be a big star. The years when Ning Yan insisted on it were the years that Ning Fei felt the most tired.If he was still a shining star in Lin Chi's eyes, he wanted to be Lin Chi's big star alone.
Brother Miao didn't know what was going on in his mind, so he could only beg him, "Ancestor, I beg you, can you know how to be modest? You don't want him to be pushed to the forefront, do you?"
This is true.Ning Fei hesitated a little, but he was afraid. Lin Chen's indifference to him that day made him afraid, so he wanted to persuade Lin Chen to stay on a grand occasion.
The phone finally rang, and the caller ID was Lin Chi.
Ning Fei hurriedly picked up the phone, "Hello, Lin Chi?"
Lin Chi's first sentence was, "Congratulations."
Ning Fei smiled and replied, "Congratulations, I haven't decided yet. If it is confirmed..." Ning Fei swallowed nervously, "If it is confirmed, I would like to thank you, and then I will announce my withdrawal..."
Lin Chen interrupted him, "Ning Fei, don't be self-willed."
Lin Chi stood at the corner of the street. He had just come out of the bar. Nine out of ten bars along the way were playing Ning Fei's song. He knew that Ning Fei had succeeded. He always knew that Ning Fei would be the dazzling one. Star, so he called to congratulate him. At the same time, after careful consideration, Lin Chen decided to let go of the past between him and Ning Fei.Because they are too far away.And he's so tired.
In the past, he tried his best to like Ning Fei. He had a love that can be called growth, which was full of joy and encouragement but also whipped by reality. Because of that love, he finally got rid of his childish nature, became an adult, and accepted himself. He was defeated by reality, one of thousands of ordinary people.Lin Chen thought with some heartache that he and Ning Fei were no longer fellow travelers.
Neither Shang Xuechen nor he said the two ways, Lin Chi decided to choose the third way, don't get together hysterically, don't break up vigorously, just like that, gently disappear.
"Congratulations." I repeated the words of congratulations, in the tone of a friend, "It is something worth showing off for me to know a big star like you."
Ning Fei lowered her eyes, because Lin Qiao said, I can know a big star like you.What kind of tone is that?Probably a classmate I haven't seen for a long time after graduation, with an inexplicable sense of alienation.
Lin Chen hung up the phone with a smile, and suddenly he understood many truths in the world that may or may not be said. During the six years of stagnation, he still felt that he was in a trance, maybe this is the real adult style.He watched the people coming and going on the street, thinking in his heart, so it is so, so it is.
It turns out that everyone should have a love that breaks the innocence and moves towards reality. It turns out that everyone should try their best to love once. When the next time comes, we can’t say that we love with reservations, but we can only talk to each other. It's an adult, why so.
Lin Chen smiled in relief, finally raised his foot, and walked into the crowd. After a while, he was nowhere to be found, that thin and ordinary figure.
Two years later.
With his schoolbag on his back, Lin Chen stretched out his hand to cover his forehead. It was raining lightly, and he entered the building panting. The landlady came out with a smile, nodded to him, and reminded him that some couriers had arrived.Lin Chi thanked him with a smile, and dragged the courier upstairs.As soon as he took the towel and wiped his head, Lin Yao's voice call came over.
"Are you home?" Lin Yao made a voice call to Lin Chi during lunch time.
"Yeah." Lin Kai turned on the phone and sat cross-legged on the floor. He was dismantling the assembly table he bought, and coughed twice along the way.
"Why cough? Have a cold?"
Lin Chen sighed, feeling that Lin Yao's ears are so good, "I don't have a cold, but it's raining outside again, and I got a little rain."
After two years, Lin Chi came to the UK and studied at Imperial College.Back then, he dropped out of school because he was ignorant. He wanted to resume his studies and help his family share the burden, so he chose engineering as a major. Imperial College has a well-known name. Before he could choose to come to the UK, Lin Yao still sighed and said that it was not necessary. Go so far.
It wasn't necessary, even though Leng Ming and Lin Mu said they respected Lin Chen's choice, they still couldn't hide the worry on their faces.With so many things happening, parents shouldn't have to worry about it anymore, but Lin Chi decided to leave home and come to the UK. He only said that the school was good and it was worth coming here by himself.These words are a bit deceptive, and the listener knows it well.Everyone knew that Lin Chi wanted to stay far away, so far away that he would not receive any news from that person.
At the awards ceremony, Lin Chen’s auspicious words were fulfilled, and Ning Fei really won the award. After winning the award, he quickly became a trending search. Ning Fei was surprised by winning a trending search. two.So far, the song was playing in the streets and alleys. Lin Chen didn't want to hear the song, so he was bored at home all day, and he didn't hear anything outside the window. He was just studying, so after only two years, he came to Imperial College college.
Thinking of Ning Fei, Lin Chen shook his head and complained to Lin Yao on the phone, "People here don't have the habit of opening umbrellas. When it rains, they pull up their hoods and put them on. If I were the only one holding an umbrella, it would be like weirdo."
He was twisting the screw with his hand, and the hair stuck behind the ear fell out, Lin Chi could only raise his arm and rub it to get the hair behind the ear, but to no avail, he shook his head again.
The habit of not opening an umbrella is Lin Chi's doing as the Romans do, but he can't accept the haircut style.All the handsome men on the street have the same hairstyle as Beckham. When you enter the barber shop, there are posters of Beckham on the wall. If Beckham can't do it, just give him a thorn.Lin Chi couldn't accept either, because he had a scar on the back of his head and he didn't want others to see it.So much so that my hair is now past my ears.
Lin Yao giggled on the other end of the phone, "How is your new home?"
Lin Chi looked back at his empty home, "It's okay."
When he first came, he couldn’t apply for a student dormitory, so he entrusted an overseas study agency to find an apartment, a one-room apartment with a small square meter, specially for students, which is similar to domestic dormitories. corner.It's a pity that the sound insulation is not good. There are often parties in the two rooms on the left and right. Once they are open all night, they are crazy.
Fortunately, he has acquaintances in England, Zhuang Yan and Lin Yue settled here.It was also accidental to meet them. One time when Lin Chi was on his way back to his residence after class, he suddenly heard someone calling him, and when he turned around, it was Zhuang Yan and Lin Yue.That night they found a family-style restaurant to get together. Lin Yue was impressed by the changes in Lin Qiao. Lin Yue also laughed and said that the two of them had changed a lot. Lin Yue sighed and complained to him that there were too many fried foods in Britain It was too sweet and made him gain weight a lot.
Knowing Lin Chi's troubles, they helped Lin Chi find a house not far from the school, a Victorian townhouse, the landlord was a kind aunt, who just rented out the second floor, the neighborhood environment is good, and the price is reasonable, Lin Chi looked I liked it so much that I rented it without even thinking about it.
He didn't have much stuff, and he really couldn't stand being noisy by parties all night, so he moved quickly. On the day the house was confirmed, he pushed his luggage and planned to move into the empty second floor.Majestic, Lin Yue and the landlord's aunt were surprised that Lin Chen moved so fast.The landlord's aunt advised him to come back two days later, because the second floor is still very empty.Zhuang Yan and Lin Yue also directly agreed, saying that they could go to their house to live for two days first, and it would not be too late to move after the landlord made arrangements.
Lin Chen declined their proposal with a smile. He felt that it was a good deal to rent a spacious and beautiful house at this price, and he felt a little embarrassed to bother the landlord any more.
He plans to buy the missing things by himself, such as desks, bookshelves, mattresses, and place orders online for delivery.Although not as fast as domestic delivery, it is still timely.So now he is sitting on the ground assembling, listening to Lin Yao's nagging.
"That's why I told him not to live in that kind of apartment that looks like a bird's stomach from the beginning, and you won't listen to me."
"Isn't that cheap and close to the school?" Lin Chi was afraid that Lin Yao would nag again, so he changed the subject, "Should it be lunch time over there? Don't talk about it, you should hurry up and eat, don't start working Forget to eat, be careful of stomach problems."
"It should be evening over there, right? Have you settled for dinner?"
"Yeah—" Lin Chi felt guilty, and was busy unpacking the courier. He hadn't thought about the dinner yet. Just then, there was a knock on the door. Lin Chi wanted to take this opportunity to hang up, but Lin Yao refused. .
"Who is looking for you at night. Don't hang up, let me listen. What if it's a thief?"
Lin Chen felt a little helpless, even if he was a thief, there was nothing Lin Yao could do at such a distance.However, Lin Yao made such a request, so Lin Kai had to comply, and went to open the door with the mobile phone that was still on the phone.
It was the landlord who knocked on the door, and Lin Chen thought it was her. He was not familiar with the place here, so who else could look for him?There is only this enthusiastic landlord aunt.Sometimes the landlady's auntie's enthusiasm makes Lin Chen really embarrassed.
"Who is it? Why are you looking for me?"
As soon as Lin Chen closed the door, Lin Yao couldn't wait to ask him.
"Those who don't know think you are my girlfriend. The investigation is so strict." Lin Chen was taken aback when he said this. It is not uncommon for Lin Yao to be misunderstood as his girlfriend in the past. Lin Chen adjusted his mood Hurry up, get over this by yourself, put down the things the landlord aunt sent, and ask Lin Yao, "Do you think I should buy a gift for my landlord?"
"what happened?"
"When I came back she saw that I was drenched in the rain, and now she brought hot cocoa, towels, blankets, and a thermal bag."
Not only that, they also sent freshly made lasagna, saying that they accidentally made too much, and sent some to Lin Chi, which just solved Lin Chi's dinner problem.
"Insulation bag? Is there no heating in your room? I knew there must be something wrong with renting such a house at this price!"
Lin Chen anxiously defended, "The house is fine, with heating and hot water. The hot water bottle is what the landlord said to warm my calves."
"Calf warmer? You told her about your injured leg?"
When Lin Yao mentioned it, Lin Qian was also surprised, "Maybe it was Zhuang Yan and the others who said it."
"Be careful when you go out, don't be so wary of people."
"Understood." Lin Chen dismissed Lin Yao with a smile, "I'm not a kid anymore. Don't work too hard."
After hanging up the phone, while the lasagne was still warm, Lin Chen ate two mouthfuls, which were delicious, but he felt tired after the third mouthful, so he put it down.
After setting up the desk, taking advantage of some time, Lin Chi took out the books, notes and computer in his bag and planned to start studying.The environment where he lived was noisy and his study efficiency was not high. Now that he has moved to another place, Lin Qiu can study with peace of mind, so he wants to make up for the homework that he left behind.
The table is placed under the window, so that when you are tired from studying, you can look up at the street outside to give your eyes a rest.Unknowingly studying in the middle of the night, I stretched my waist and saw different lights on the houses on the second floor across the street. The house on the left had the brightest light, and there were children jumping around from time to time. As he counted, he wondered how long it would take for the adults of that family to come and order the child to bed.Sure enough, after a while, the child stopped dancing and the lights went out.
He turned his head to look at the other side, the house did not turn on the light, but there was light dancing, like the light of a TV set, Lin Chi guessed that the house must be a couple watching a movie together, he just saw the light on the right The lights of this house and the house on the right also stopped, maybe the couple fell asleep after the movie finished.After looking at it for a while, I found it boring. I closed the laptop, stood up and was about to close the curtains. Just as the curtains were about to close, I saw a warm yellow light coming from the window directly opposite. I saw a figure flashing past the window quickly, but the lights did not go out.
The action of pulling the curtains stopped, and Lin Qian noticed that the lights directly opposite seemed to be on all the time. Since he came back from a trot, the lights on the second floor opposite had been on all the time.Suspecting that he was thinking too much, Lin Chen patted his face, swept away the guesses in his mind, turned around and went to wash, but before going to bed, he still couldn't help but went to the window and opened the curtain to check the situation on the other side. The light was still on, and the curtain was on. The printed figure made his heart tremble.
"Did I think too much?" Lin Kai put down the curtains and patted his chest, talking to himself, and went to bed with thousands of thoughts.
He couldn't help but not think too much, he was too familiar with the figure on the opposite curtain.
When the alarm clock rang for the second time in the morning, Lin Quan opened his eyes abruptly, got up in a hurry and went to wash up.He went to bed late last night, and he had been thinking wildly for a long time, and the first alarm clock failed to wake him up.
He still had class in the morning, and when he washed his face carelessly and hurried out to pack his schoolbag, he almost slipped and fell, but luckily he didn't, he just went to the desk and bumped his leg, causing Lin Qu to grin his teeth in pain.
It rained a lot yesterday, and the weather outside seems to be better today. Although it is still overcast, there is some sunshine reflected in the clouds.Lin Ling put his schoolbag on his back and pulled up the curtains, trying to let some light into the room. When he pulled up the curtains, he found that the light in the opposite window was still on.
Lin Chen's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately advised himself not to think too much.When he turned and went downstairs, he didn't notice a cat jumped on the windowsill opposite.
Lin Chen was in a hurry to go to class, and there was a lot of noise running downstairs. When he got down to the first floor, the landlord suddenly appeared from nowhere, as if he was waiting to arrest Lin Chen.Lin Chen thought she was going to scold him for making too much noise, and was about to apologize, but unexpectedly, the landlord handed him a paper package, saying that he made extra sandwiches in the morning to see him in a hurry, and gave him the extra sandwiches for breakfast.
Lin Chi looked at the bulging bag of sandwiches and was about to reject them, but his stomach couldn't cooperate, so he accepted it in embarrassment. When he went out, he couldn't stop scanning his eyes into the hall on the first floor. Do you cook too much every time?
However, thanks to the stuffed sandwiches, Lin Ling ate less last night. In the morning when he finished class and changed classrooms, he wolfed down two and stuffed them into his stomach, and he was full until noon.Because I was not too hungry during the lunch break, I sat down in a cafe near the school at noon, turned on the computer and took notes to continue studying.
There was only one class in the afternoon, and I was thinking of going back early to take a rest after class, but I didn't expect Zhuang Yan and Lin Yue to come and wait again.He said he was going to take Lin Ling to dinner, and it was a celebration of his moving to a new house.
Lin Chen really couldn't shirk, so he just followed them. On the way to the restaurant, Lin Chen, who was sitting in the back seat, looked at the two loving people in the front row and couldn't help teasing them, "Why do you have to bring me this light bulb?" ?”
"You don't understand this. Love has to be kept fresh, and it's easy for old couples to get bored."
Lin Chi leaned lazily on the car window, "I don't think you two get tired of it."
The two people in the front row didn't care about Lin Chi's words, they just kept talking about the restaurant they were going to.Lin Chi yawned and looked at the scenery outside the window, listening to what they said. The restaurant they said they were going to was the same as in the movie. The restaurant only had banquet tables, and the people who went there sat side by side or across from each other. Turn off the lights and eat in the dark, and eat whatever you find. If you accidentally touch someone, the two parties can start chatting, and the conversation will start. We have agreed to meet at the door after the meal is over. If the chat can’t continue, anyway Hei, no one is embarrassed.
Lin Chi felt strange when he heard it, "Is it because the restaurant chef's cooking is really average, so he uses this method to distract attention?"
No wonder Lin Chi thinks this way. He has been in London for so long and hasn’t eaten a meal that suits his appetite. Even the water has a strong smell of bleach. No wonder the British love tea, and it’s probably because of the smell.
Unexpectedly, the taste of the restaurant's dishes is not bad. I can't see what it is, but I was quite pleasantly surprised when I tasted it in my hand.However, the restaurant was pitch-black, and there were exclamations of exclamation everywhere. Ouch, hey, the exclamation was one after another, all accidentally touching the fork or touching someone's hand.He has never been in such a situation, and Zhuang Yan seems to be sitting next to him, taking care of him when he first comes to this kind of place, and always handing things to him.But he didn't like to chat, he just sat silently in the darkness, eating small bites.Thinking back, he used to be afraid of the dark, and would turn on the night light when he slept at night. The light looked like a pig. Lin Chi didn't like it very much, and felt that he was mocking him for being a fat man in the past.Oh, by the way, the night light is also a warm yellow light, which is similar to the light from the opposite window.
Thinking of this, when Zhuang Yan handed over a meal bag again, Lin Chi didn't reach out to take it.The person next to him withdrew his hands, and soon a solemn voice came from the opposite side, "Is it not to your liking?"
Lin Quan frowned, why is Zhuang Yan on the opposite side, could it be that Lin Yue is sitting next to him?
"It's not that the food is not to my liking. I've been here for so long, and I always eat bread. I'm a bit craving rice. I miss my hometown food."
"Then let's go to Chinatown for dinner next time." Lin Yue's voice sounded from the opposite side.
Lin Chi was shocked alone in the dark, who was the person who sat beside him and took care of his meals?He whispered, "Give me the tissue."
When the paper towel was handed to him, Lin Chu tremblingly stretched out his hand, and when he took the paper towel and touched the callus on the opponent's hand, he overturned the meal in a panic.
"Lin Chen, what's wrong?"
Lin Chi stood up, "I'm going back." As he stood up, he was about to leave immediately, regardless of Zhuang Yan, they said they wanted to send him back.Too flustered, he stumbled and walked for a long time before reaching the door.
When he got to the door, he turned around suddenly and hid in the opposite street.Lin Chen had a guess in his mind, and he wanted to verify it.
Zhuang Yan and Lin Yue chased them out, but they didn't see Lin Yi's figure when they came out, they were anxiously summing up at the door.
"It's all your fault! Said to bring him here!" Lin Yue complained about Zhuang Yan indiscriminately.
"Why are you blaming me again?" Zhuang Yan was a little innocent, this was clearly Lin Yue's suggestion.
Lin Chen hid in the opposite street and watched, for a long time, only Zhuang Yan and Lin Yue were bickering opposite, no one else appeared.Lin Chen couldn't help thinking, could it be that he made a big fuss out of a molehill?
Not wanting to make the two people on the other side unhappy, Lin Chen obediently appeared, "I haven't left yet."
When Zhuang Yan and Lin Yue saw Lin Jian, they immediately ran over from the opposite street, "I was scared to death. I thought you were really leaving."
"I'm sorry. I just thought..." It was his own imagination, and Lin Qian was ashamed to explain.
Lin Yue asked him, "Why?"
I thought you were in collusion with him.Just now, when Lin Chi touched the hand of the person beside him, he was shocked by the familiarity.
"Lin Chen, have you ever thought about it. You never really let go?"
Lin Chen lowered his eyes and didn't answer the question. He really wanted to go back this time.Because of him, Zhuang Yan and Lin Yue didn't even speak a word on the way back.
When getting out of the car, Lin Chi looked up at the window on the second floor opposite. The light was on, but there were shadows flickering, and some couldn't see clearly.After such a long time, it was the first time that Lin Chen felt listless. It was because he thought wrongly. He turned around and said sorry to Lin Yue and Zhuang Yan, "I'm sorry for disturbing your interest. Sure enough, you shouldn't bring me a light bulb on a date."
Neither Zhuang Yan nor Lin Yue said much, they just shook their heads and said it was nothing, asking him to take a good rest.
After entering the door, the oncoming landlord smiled and told Lin Chi that he had bought some things for him while he was away.Lin Chen forced a smile to thank the landlord.When I went up to the second floor, I saw that a lot of things had been added. There were sofas, carpets and refrigerators, and there were even fruits and soda in the refrigerator.
I feel like I need to give the landlord some more money.He felt very tired today, he fell back on the sofa, took the pillow and hugged him in his arms, when the phone rang again.It was the link sent by Zhuang Yan, telling him that this is a restaurant in Chinatown that can order online.Lin Chi opened it and saw that there were sweet and sour pork ribs.
He didn't eat much tonight, and he hadn't had a hot meal for a long time. When he saw the sweet and sour pork ribs, he moved his index finger and placed the order without thinking.After placing the order, I hugged the pillow and closed my eyes to rest for a while, and then regretted the order I just placed. I don’t know how far Chinatown is from here. It will probably be delivered in the middle of the night.He couldn't digest well, and eating too much in the middle of the night would make him sleepless.
Lin Chen sat up, thinking about it or planning to cancel the order, "Should we come in time?"
It was too late, the doorbell rang, and the landlord shouted from downstairs that the takeaway had arrived.
Lin Chen raised his head and looked out the window, squeezed his phone tightly and couldn't help but start to wonder, how could it be delivered so quickly from Chinatown to him?
Lin Ling didn't go to class the next day, and ordered sweet and sour pork ribs and fried rice at noon.After placing the order, I waited for the time, and after 15 minutes, I planned to go downstairs and wait.He wanted to see who delivered the food, could it be from the opposite side?
However, when he reached the corner of the stairs, what Lin Chi saw was that the landlord opened the door and came in with a takeaway box in his hand. When he looked up, he was slightly shocked to see Lin Chi, and explained to him with a smile that he met the delivery man at the door.
Could it be that I was thinking too much again?
Lin Can went downstairs feeling a little disappointed, confiscated the takeaway, and gave it directly to the landlord, saying that he would let her taste the characteristics of his hometown, while he himself wanted to go out to school, and had already skipped the morning class. Suspicious waste of time.
Get out of the house, close
Lin Qian glanced at Lin Yao who was driving a car and making business calls beside him.She cut her hair short, and the long fluttering hair turned into neat short hair, and she became leaner, not as self-willed as before.Thinking of Lin Yao in the past, Lin Chi felt as if he had passed away.
"Lin Chi." Lin Yao called him
Lin Chen came back to his senses, "Huh?"
"How do you go back later? Is uncle coming to pick you up?"
Lin Yao has a lot of things to do recently, and he has been running all over the place. Hearing that Lin Chen has been found, he specially took the time to come here yesterday.But she didn't have time to stay for a long time. She stayed for one night and went to another city today. It happened that today Lin Chen was going out to return the music box that Ning Fei had borrowed. Lin Chen didn't want his family to worry, so he took Lin Yao's ride.
Lin Yan blinked and looked at Lin Yao who was wearing a suit. Under the wide-legged trousers were a pair of sneakers, which was convenient for her to drive. There was a stack of documents on the back seat of the car, and a simple toiletry bag besides that. , Lin Qiu looked at the capable Lin Yao and felt a little strange, probably because she was unfamiliar with her current image?
"I'll take a taxi and go back later."
Lin Yao glanced at the street bar anxiously, "Who did you date here. Is it Yinjin?"
Lin Chen shook his head, "Yinjin is very busy."
Yin Jin has passed the examination of a licensed doctor, so there are only a lot of things to do.Yesterday, Yin Jin took the time to call Lin Chen to ask him about his situation, and mentioned Meng Yi by the way. He heard that Meng Yi was going to Africa, as a volunteer to go to the African savannah to protect the ecology and stop poachers.
"Don't worry about me, aren't you very busy? I'll take care of myself." Lin Yao urged Lin Yao to go quickly, don't delay things because of himself, and stop chatting with Lin Yao, and untied his seat belt Get out of the car immediately.
"Lin Chi!"
When he was almost at the door, Lin Yao called him to stop.Lin Chi turned around and walked back to the car. Lin Yao who was sitting in the car suddenly handed him a credit card. Lin Chi looked at her in astonishment, "What are you doing?" He wanted to push the card back, but even Lin Yao Yao is stronger than him.
Lin Yao squeezed Lin Chen's hand tightly so that he couldn't push it back. He gave Lin Chen this card on a whim. When Lin Yao sat in the car and looked at Lin Chen's back, he couldn't help feeling that Lin Chen was too thin. , Within a month, I was much thinner than before.
"Buy more food and be full. It's alright, don't say no, I have to go." After Lin Yao closed the car window, Lin Yao stared blankly at his own face reflected in the car window, He was only stunned for a while, because Lin Yao drove away in a hurry.Holding the forced card, Lin Chen looked at Lin Yao's car speeding away.
He finally understood why there was a sense of strangeness, because Lin Yao no longer looked like his sister.
"Everyone has already moved forward." Lin Chen took out the music box in his pocket and looked at it with some disappointment, "But it's only me..."
Still hesitating.
"welcome."
The bar is not open yet, only Xiaobai is diligently cleaning the table, and a familiar song is playing in the bar. Behind the bar, there are two people hugging each other, nodding their heads, rubbing each other nose to nose in love.
"What is welcome?" Shang Xuechen rolled his eyes to look at Xiaobai, "It's not business hours yet, you have to let him go back."
Shang Xuechen was in a good mood, Ji Shuping calmed down, and now he has no extra thoughts to take care of business.
"I'm here to return the things." As soon as Lin Chen uttered his voice, the loving people at the bar immediately turned their eyebrows coldly.
Ji Shuping let go of his arm, and looked coldly at Shang Xuechen, "Which brother is this?"
Shang Xuechen immediately clarified, "I don't know him." Turning his head, he felt that he had known him before, and his confidence just now was gone, "Well... it seems, it seems, maybe, I have seen him somewhere."
"Hmph." Ji Shuping snorted coldly, and the air immediately froze.Xiaobai raised the rag to cover his face, and waved to Lin Que who was standing in a daze at the door, signaling him to leave quickly.
Even though the atmosphere was a little off, Lin Chi couldn't leave because he was here to return something.
"I'm here to return something." Then he stretched out his hand and showed the other party the music box in his hand, "I made the movement of this music box." Lin Yi smiled politely at Shang Xuechen, "You don't remember me?"
"Ah!" Shang Xuechen patted his head and said pleasantly, "So it was you. I thought it was the man with the thick eyebrows who came to pay it back, but I didn't expect it to be you."
The reason why he was unhappy was that it was Lin Chi who came to pay back Ji Shuping. He knew Shang Xuechen, and Shang Xuechen loved hooking up with this kind of little boy who looked soft, weak and delicious.
But now it's not about his flirting. When he heard that Shang Xuechen had given away the music box, Ji Shuping's expression became even worse, "Huh? You gave away the music box?!"
Shang Xuechen explained again and again, "I didn't give it, I didn't give it! I just borrowed it. Didn't he return it?"
Xiaobai sighed, and collapsed on the sofa with a resigned look, "I have to start eating takeaway again."
Been eating takeout for ages.Usually Ji Shuping is in charge of three meals a day for their family. When he gets angry, the family will stop working. He has been eating takeaway for half a month before, and his tongue is almost numb.I thought that Ji Shu would calm down and have a warm meal, but the uninvited guest broke Xiaobai's fantasy.
Seeing that Ji Shuping was angry with him regardless of the matter, Shang Xuechen felt a little wronged, "Ah, why don't you think you got the record for nothing."
Lin Chi looked at Xiaobai and asked, "Did I come at the wrong time?"
Xiaobai looked at him with his chin propped up, "It's only now that you realize it, then you are slow enough."
Lin Chen smiled awkwardly, he has always been like this.
"Hmph." Shang Xuechen lay powerlessly on the table, "He's really making trouble out of nothing, making trouble for no reason!"
He was so tired of coaxing Ji Shuping, but there was no result after coaxing for a long time, the guests were still there, so Shang Xuechen simply broke the pot and went to coax Ji Shuping too lazy, and turned around and asked Lin Qiu to sit down.
Lin Chen finished returning the music box, and looked at Shang Xuechen who was lying on the table opposite, feeling a little guilty, "I'm sorry."
"It's okay. I can't rely on you, he's always like this." Shang Xuechen straightened up and squinted his eyes at Lin Chen, "But you have changed a lot."
I used to look at a jerky but innocent person, but I still have the courage to give him advice at a young age, but now I look listless.
"Really?" Lin Chen rubbed his face with a sneer, "Maybe it's because I've made a lot of mistakes in my errands over the years."
"Everyone makes mistakes, but only fools stick to their mistakes." Xiaobai rested his hands on his chin, pretended to be high-spirited and sat next to Shang Xuechen, and shook his head coolly, "Expand the sign, Cicero."
"I'm about to lose your famous quotes! Recite so many famous quotes and write essays and get 10 points old, just stay and play!" Shang Xuechen had a headache, and smiled awkwardly at Lin Qiu, "I'm sorry , this kid has a strange head since he was a child."
"I only recite famous quotes because the composition doesn't exceed 10 points." Xiaobai muttered, moved away reluctantly, found the remote control, turned on the TV, and pressed several channels in a row, but couldn't find it. Appropriate show to watch.
Lin Chen didn't mind, on the contrary, he began to think about Xiaobai's famous saying.
Looking at the silent Lin Qiao, Shang Xuechen knew without thinking that his so-called missteps must be related to feelings.Let's just take it as repayment, thinking that he had received his advice back then, otherwise he wouldn't have dared to take that step towards Ji Shuping.
"Who can't you let go of?"
Lin Qiu suddenly raised his head, and saw Shang Xuechen squinting at him and smiling.After laughing for a while, he suddenly frowned irritably, Shang Xuechen reached out his hand and gave Xiaobai a headache, "Slow down the TV!"
Not to be outdone, Xiaobai said, "I can't hear you when I'm too young! I dare not go to Brother Ji, he's angry! I don't know who to blame!"
The two people on the opposite side were arguing, but Lin Chen turned his head to look at the TV. The red carpet host was introducing the unprecedented grandeur of the ceremony, and the camera happened to show the person who had just got off the car.
"Well, isn't this a friend of Brother Jiang's?" Xiaobai looked at the person who took a photo on the red carpet, and Shang Xuechen also looked back. It was indeed the person who asked him to walk the music box that day. , I usually look very fierce, but I didn't expect that it would be very photogenic on the show.
Shang Xuechen glanced at the man who was staring at the TV opposite, understood in his heart, and muttered, no wonder.
No wonder it was Ning Fei who came to ask for the music box, but now it's Lin Chi who came to return it, and everyone knew that it must be a couple quarreling and breaking up.
Shang Xuechen watched TV for a while, and then looked at Lin Yi for a while, and nodded self-righteously. The celebrity and the amateur must have broken up because of the gap.
"Do you feel that you have been left far behind?"
Lin Chen turned his head to look at Shang Xuechen in surprise, and smiled embarrassedly after a while, "It seems that I am the only one who is still standing still."
Lin Yao, Yin Jin, Meng Yi, and Ning Fei, everyone ran too far forward, but only Lin Can was left in the desert. In the past six years, Lin Can felt that he was disconnected, disconnected from his surroundings.
"I don't know what to do anymore. It feels like I am getting farther and farther away from him."
Shang Xuechen shrugged, "There are only two endings. Either break up or stay together. But judging by your tired look, I guess you don't have confidence in your relationship. If you stay together, many things will still repeat the same mistakes. You still There will be quarrels, reconciliation, and quarrels and reconciliation."
Xiaobai interjected, "Listening to what you say, isn't it the only way to break up?"
"NONONO." Shang Xuechen waved his index finger left and right, as if he had come here, "It's not okay to break up. Breaking up will not be easy, you will not eat well, sleep well, and your heart will feel like it has been hollowed out. I hope that time can cure you, but time cannot cure you. After waiting for a long time, when you think you are cured, you are walking happily on the road. When you see a couple coming towards you, suddenly, a certain An instant will hit your face, and then hollow out the heart you thought was patched."
"What." Xiaobai listened lazily again, "Isn't that hopeless?"
Shang Xuechen spread his hands, "Loving someone is so hopeless. If you don't love him anymore, these are not problems."
Lin Chi pursed his lips and pondered, when the host's question came from the TV.
"Are you confident in this nomination? If you win the award, is there anyone you would like to thank in particular?"
"There is a person who wants to thank and say sorry to him."
Lin Chen raised his head and looked at Ning Fei who was sincerely facing the camera on TV. He was very handsome, wearing a decent suit and standing on the red carpet. He was no longer the old rascal. Your son.
Lin Chi looked at the people on TV and said, "I have to think about it."
"Remember! When you go on stage, you must say thank you fans! You are fans!"
Brother Miao gave Ning Fei thousands of instructions in the lounge.Ning Fei just held his cell phone and waited for news from Lin Chen. Lin Chen said that he would call when he made up his mind.
Ning Fei held up the phone and muttered, "Where do I get fans from?"
He thought it over, if he could really go on stage to accept the award, he would thank Lin Chi, confess his love in public, and then announce his retirement from the entertainment industry.It's boring to be a big star. The years when Ning Yan insisted on it were the years that Ning Fei felt the most tired.If he was still a shining star in Lin Chi's eyes, he wanted to be Lin Chi's big star alone.
Brother Miao didn't know what was going on in his mind, so he could only beg him, "Ancestor, I beg you, can you know how to be modest? You don't want him to be pushed to the forefront, do you?"
This is true.Ning Fei hesitated a little, but he was afraid. Lin Chen's indifference to him that day made him afraid, so he wanted to persuade Lin Chen to stay on a grand occasion.
The phone finally rang, and the caller ID was Lin Chi.
Ning Fei hurriedly picked up the phone, "Hello, Lin Chi?"
Lin Chi's first sentence was, "Congratulations."
Ning Fei smiled and replied, "Congratulations, I haven't decided yet. If it is confirmed..." Ning Fei swallowed nervously, "If it is confirmed, I would like to thank you, and then I will announce my withdrawal..."
Lin Chen interrupted him, "Ning Fei, don't be self-willed."
Lin Chi stood at the corner of the street. He had just come out of the bar. Nine out of ten bars along the way were playing Ning Fei's song. He knew that Ning Fei had succeeded. He always knew that Ning Fei would be the dazzling one. Star, so he called to congratulate him. At the same time, after careful consideration, Lin Chen decided to let go of the past between him and Ning Fei.Because they are too far away.And he's so tired.
In the past, he tried his best to like Ning Fei. He had a love that can be called growth, which was full of joy and encouragement but also whipped by reality. Because of that love, he finally got rid of his childish nature, became an adult, and accepted himself. He was defeated by reality, one of thousands of ordinary people.Lin Chen thought with some heartache that he and Ning Fei were no longer fellow travelers.
Neither Shang Xuechen nor he said the two ways, Lin Chi decided to choose the third way, don't get together hysterically, don't break up vigorously, just like that, gently disappear.
"Congratulations." I repeated the words of congratulations, in the tone of a friend, "It is something worth showing off for me to know a big star like you."
Ning Fei lowered her eyes, because Lin Qiao said, I can know a big star like you.What kind of tone is that?Probably a classmate I haven't seen for a long time after graduation, with an inexplicable sense of alienation.
Lin Chen hung up the phone with a smile, and suddenly he understood many truths in the world that may or may not be said. During the six years of stagnation, he still felt that he was in a trance, maybe this is the real adult style.He watched the people coming and going on the street, thinking in his heart, so it is so, so it is.
It turns out that everyone should have a love that breaks the innocence and moves towards reality. It turns out that everyone should try their best to love once. When the next time comes, we can’t say that we love with reservations, but we can only talk to each other. It's an adult, why so.
Lin Chen smiled in relief, finally raised his foot, and walked into the crowd. After a while, he was nowhere to be found, that thin and ordinary figure.
Two years later.
With his schoolbag on his back, Lin Chen stretched out his hand to cover his forehead. It was raining lightly, and he entered the building panting. The landlady came out with a smile, nodded to him, and reminded him that some couriers had arrived.Lin Chi thanked him with a smile, and dragged the courier upstairs.As soon as he took the towel and wiped his head, Lin Yao's voice call came over.
"Are you home?" Lin Yao made a voice call to Lin Chi during lunch time.
"Yeah." Lin Kai turned on the phone and sat cross-legged on the floor. He was dismantling the assembly table he bought, and coughed twice along the way.
"Why cough? Have a cold?"
Lin Chen sighed, feeling that Lin Yao's ears are so good, "I don't have a cold, but it's raining outside again, and I got a little rain."
After two years, Lin Chi came to the UK and studied at Imperial College.Back then, he dropped out of school because he was ignorant. He wanted to resume his studies and help his family share the burden, so he chose engineering as a major. Imperial College has a well-known name. Before he could choose to come to the UK, Lin Yao still sighed and said that it was not necessary. Go so far.
It wasn't necessary, even though Leng Ming and Lin Mu said they respected Lin Chen's choice, they still couldn't hide the worry on their faces.With so many things happening, parents shouldn't have to worry about it anymore, but Lin Chi decided to leave home and come to the UK. He only said that the school was good and it was worth coming here by himself.These words are a bit deceptive, and the listener knows it well.Everyone knew that Lin Chi wanted to stay far away, so far away that he would not receive any news from that person.
At the awards ceremony, Lin Chen’s auspicious words were fulfilled, and Ning Fei really won the award. After winning the award, he quickly became a trending search. Ning Fei was surprised by winning a trending search. two.So far, the song was playing in the streets and alleys. Lin Chen didn't want to hear the song, so he was bored at home all day, and he didn't hear anything outside the window. He was just studying, so after only two years, he came to Imperial College college.
Thinking of Ning Fei, Lin Chen shook his head and complained to Lin Yao on the phone, "People here don't have the habit of opening umbrellas. When it rains, they pull up their hoods and put them on. If I were the only one holding an umbrella, it would be like weirdo."
He was twisting the screw with his hand, and the hair stuck behind the ear fell out, Lin Chi could only raise his arm and rub it to get the hair behind the ear, but to no avail, he shook his head again.
The habit of not opening an umbrella is Lin Chi's doing as the Romans do, but he can't accept the haircut style.All the handsome men on the street have the same hairstyle as Beckham. When you enter the barber shop, there are posters of Beckham on the wall. If Beckham can't do it, just give him a thorn.Lin Chi couldn't accept either, because he had a scar on the back of his head and he didn't want others to see it.So much so that my hair is now past my ears.
Lin Yao giggled on the other end of the phone, "How is your new home?"
Lin Chi looked back at his empty home, "It's okay."
When he first came, he couldn’t apply for a student dormitory, so he entrusted an overseas study agency to find an apartment, a one-room apartment with a small square meter, specially for students, which is similar to domestic dormitories. corner.It's a pity that the sound insulation is not good. There are often parties in the two rooms on the left and right. Once they are open all night, they are crazy.
Fortunately, he has acquaintances in England, Zhuang Yan and Lin Yue settled here.It was also accidental to meet them. One time when Lin Chi was on his way back to his residence after class, he suddenly heard someone calling him, and when he turned around, it was Zhuang Yan and Lin Yue.That night they found a family-style restaurant to get together. Lin Yue was impressed by the changes in Lin Qiao. Lin Yue also laughed and said that the two of them had changed a lot. Lin Yue sighed and complained to him that there were too many fried foods in Britain It was too sweet and made him gain weight a lot.
Knowing Lin Chi's troubles, they helped Lin Chi find a house not far from the school, a Victorian townhouse, the landlord was a kind aunt, who just rented out the second floor, the neighborhood environment is good, and the price is reasonable, Lin Chi looked I liked it so much that I rented it without even thinking about it.
He didn't have much stuff, and he really couldn't stand being noisy by parties all night, so he moved quickly. On the day the house was confirmed, he pushed his luggage and planned to move into the empty second floor.Majestic, Lin Yue and the landlord's aunt were surprised that Lin Chen moved so fast.The landlord's aunt advised him to come back two days later, because the second floor is still very empty.Zhuang Yan and Lin Yue also directly agreed, saying that they could go to their house to live for two days first, and it would not be too late to move after the landlord made arrangements.
Lin Chen declined their proposal with a smile. He felt that it was a good deal to rent a spacious and beautiful house at this price, and he felt a little embarrassed to bother the landlord any more.
He plans to buy the missing things by himself, such as desks, bookshelves, mattresses, and place orders online for delivery.Although not as fast as domestic delivery, it is still timely.So now he is sitting on the ground assembling, listening to Lin Yao's nagging.
"That's why I told him not to live in that kind of apartment that looks like a bird's stomach from the beginning, and you won't listen to me."
"Isn't that cheap and close to the school?" Lin Chi was afraid that Lin Yao would nag again, so he changed the subject, "Should it be lunch time over there? Don't talk about it, you should hurry up and eat, don't start working Forget to eat, be careful of stomach problems."
"It should be evening over there, right? Have you settled for dinner?"
"Yeah—" Lin Chi felt guilty, and was busy unpacking the courier. He hadn't thought about the dinner yet. Just then, there was a knock on the door. Lin Chi wanted to take this opportunity to hang up, but Lin Yao refused. .
"Who is looking for you at night. Don't hang up, let me listen. What if it's a thief?"
Lin Chen felt a little helpless, even if he was a thief, there was nothing Lin Yao could do at such a distance.However, Lin Yao made such a request, so Lin Kai had to comply, and went to open the door with the mobile phone that was still on the phone.
It was the landlord who knocked on the door, and Lin Chen thought it was her. He was not familiar with the place here, so who else could look for him?There is only this enthusiastic landlord aunt.Sometimes the landlady's auntie's enthusiasm makes Lin Chen really embarrassed.
"Who is it? Why are you looking for me?"
As soon as Lin Chen closed the door, Lin Yao couldn't wait to ask him.
"Those who don't know think you are my girlfriend. The investigation is so strict." Lin Chen was taken aback when he said this. It is not uncommon for Lin Yao to be misunderstood as his girlfriend in the past. Lin Chen adjusted his mood Hurry up, get over this by yourself, put down the things the landlord aunt sent, and ask Lin Yao, "Do you think I should buy a gift for my landlord?"
"what happened?"
"When I came back she saw that I was drenched in the rain, and now she brought hot cocoa, towels, blankets, and a thermal bag."
Not only that, they also sent freshly made lasagna, saying that they accidentally made too much, and sent some to Lin Chi, which just solved Lin Chi's dinner problem.
"Insulation bag? Is there no heating in your room? I knew there must be something wrong with renting such a house at this price!"
Lin Chen anxiously defended, "The house is fine, with heating and hot water. The hot water bottle is what the landlord said to warm my calves."
"Calf warmer? You told her about your injured leg?"
When Lin Yao mentioned it, Lin Qian was also surprised, "Maybe it was Zhuang Yan and the others who said it."
"Be careful when you go out, don't be so wary of people."
"Understood." Lin Chen dismissed Lin Yao with a smile, "I'm not a kid anymore. Don't work too hard."
After hanging up the phone, while the lasagne was still warm, Lin Chen ate two mouthfuls, which were delicious, but he felt tired after the third mouthful, so he put it down.
After setting up the desk, taking advantage of some time, Lin Chi took out the books, notes and computer in his bag and planned to start studying.The environment where he lived was noisy and his study efficiency was not high. Now that he has moved to another place, Lin Qiu can study with peace of mind, so he wants to make up for the homework that he left behind.
The table is placed under the window, so that when you are tired from studying, you can look up at the street outside to give your eyes a rest.Unknowingly studying in the middle of the night, I stretched my waist and saw different lights on the houses on the second floor across the street. The house on the left had the brightest light, and there were children jumping around from time to time. As he counted, he wondered how long it would take for the adults of that family to come and order the child to bed.Sure enough, after a while, the child stopped dancing and the lights went out.
He turned his head to look at the other side, the house did not turn on the light, but there was light dancing, like the light of a TV set, Lin Chi guessed that the house must be a couple watching a movie together, he just saw the light on the right The lights of this house and the house on the right also stopped, maybe the couple fell asleep after the movie finished.After looking at it for a while, I found it boring. I closed the laptop, stood up and was about to close the curtains. Just as the curtains were about to close, I saw a warm yellow light coming from the window directly opposite. I saw a figure flashing past the window quickly, but the lights did not go out.
The action of pulling the curtains stopped, and Lin Qian noticed that the lights directly opposite seemed to be on all the time. Since he came back from a trot, the lights on the second floor opposite had been on all the time.Suspecting that he was thinking too much, Lin Chen patted his face, swept away the guesses in his mind, turned around and went to wash, but before going to bed, he still couldn't help but went to the window and opened the curtain to check the situation on the other side. The light was still on, and the curtain was on. The printed figure made his heart tremble.
"Did I think too much?" Lin Kai put down the curtains and patted his chest, talking to himself, and went to bed with thousands of thoughts.
He couldn't help but not think too much, he was too familiar with the figure on the opposite curtain.
When the alarm clock rang for the second time in the morning, Lin Quan opened his eyes abruptly, got up in a hurry and went to wash up.He went to bed late last night, and he had been thinking wildly for a long time, and the first alarm clock failed to wake him up.
He still had class in the morning, and when he washed his face carelessly and hurried out to pack his schoolbag, he almost slipped and fell, but luckily he didn't, he just went to the desk and bumped his leg, causing Lin Qu to grin his teeth in pain.
It rained a lot yesterday, and the weather outside seems to be better today. Although it is still overcast, there is some sunshine reflected in the clouds.Lin Ling put his schoolbag on his back and pulled up the curtains, trying to let some light into the room. When he pulled up the curtains, he found that the light in the opposite window was still on.
Lin Chen's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately advised himself not to think too much.When he turned and went downstairs, he didn't notice a cat jumped on the windowsill opposite.
Lin Chen was in a hurry to go to class, and there was a lot of noise running downstairs. When he got down to the first floor, the landlord suddenly appeared from nowhere, as if he was waiting to arrest Lin Chen.Lin Chen thought she was going to scold him for making too much noise, and was about to apologize, but unexpectedly, the landlord handed him a paper package, saying that he made extra sandwiches in the morning to see him in a hurry, and gave him the extra sandwiches for breakfast.
Lin Chi looked at the bulging bag of sandwiches and was about to reject them, but his stomach couldn't cooperate, so he accepted it in embarrassment. When he went out, he couldn't stop scanning his eyes into the hall on the first floor. Do you cook too much every time?
However, thanks to the stuffed sandwiches, Lin Ling ate less last night. In the morning when he finished class and changed classrooms, he wolfed down two and stuffed them into his stomach, and he was full until noon.Because I was not too hungry during the lunch break, I sat down in a cafe near the school at noon, turned on the computer and took notes to continue studying.
There was only one class in the afternoon, and I was thinking of going back early to take a rest after class, but I didn't expect Zhuang Yan and Lin Yue to come and wait again.He said he was going to take Lin Ling to dinner, and it was a celebration of his moving to a new house.
Lin Chen really couldn't shirk, so he just followed them. On the way to the restaurant, Lin Chen, who was sitting in the back seat, looked at the two loving people in the front row and couldn't help teasing them, "Why do you have to bring me this light bulb?" ?”
"You don't understand this. Love has to be kept fresh, and it's easy for old couples to get bored."
Lin Chi leaned lazily on the car window, "I don't think you two get tired of it."
The two people in the front row didn't care about Lin Chi's words, they just kept talking about the restaurant they were going to.Lin Chi yawned and looked at the scenery outside the window, listening to what they said. The restaurant they said they were going to was the same as in the movie. The restaurant only had banquet tables, and the people who went there sat side by side or across from each other. Turn off the lights and eat in the dark, and eat whatever you find. If you accidentally touch someone, the two parties can start chatting, and the conversation will start. We have agreed to meet at the door after the meal is over. If the chat can’t continue, anyway Hei, no one is embarrassed.
Lin Chi felt strange when he heard it, "Is it because the restaurant chef's cooking is really average, so he uses this method to distract attention?"
No wonder Lin Chi thinks this way. He has been in London for so long and hasn’t eaten a meal that suits his appetite. Even the water has a strong smell of bleach. No wonder the British love tea, and it’s probably because of the smell.
Unexpectedly, the taste of the restaurant's dishes is not bad. I can't see what it is, but I was quite pleasantly surprised when I tasted it in my hand.However, the restaurant was pitch-black, and there were exclamations of exclamation everywhere. Ouch, hey, the exclamation was one after another, all accidentally touching the fork or touching someone's hand.He has never been in such a situation, and Zhuang Yan seems to be sitting next to him, taking care of him when he first comes to this kind of place, and always handing things to him.But he didn't like to chat, he just sat silently in the darkness, eating small bites.Thinking back, he used to be afraid of the dark, and would turn on the night light when he slept at night. The light looked like a pig. Lin Chi didn't like it very much, and felt that he was mocking him for being a fat man in the past.Oh, by the way, the night light is also a warm yellow light, which is similar to the light from the opposite window.
Thinking of this, when Zhuang Yan handed over a meal bag again, Lin Chi didn't reach out to take it.The person next to him withdrew his hands, and soon a solemn voice came from the opposite side, "Is it not to your liking?"
Lin Quan frowned, why is Zhuang Yan on the opposite side, could it be that Lin Yue is sitting next to him?
"It's not that the food is not to my liking. I've been here for so long, and I always eat bread. I'm a bit craving rice. I miss my hometown food."
"Then let's go to Chinatown for dinner next time." Lin Yue's voice sounded from the opposite side.
Lin Chi was shocked alone in the dark, who was the person who sat beside him and took care of his meals?He whispered, "Give me the tissue."
When the paper towel was handed to him, Lin Chu tremblingly stretched out his hand, and when he took the paper towel and touched the callus on the opponent's hand, he overturned the meal in a panic.
"Lin Chen, what's wrong?"
Lin Chi stood up, "I'm going back." As he stood up, he was about to leave immediately, regardless of Zhuang Yan, they said they wanted to send him back.Too flustered, he stumbled and walked for a long time before reaching the door.
When he got to the door, he turned around suddenly and hid in the opposite street.Lin Chen had a guess in his mind, and he wanted to verify it.
Zhuang Yan and Lin Yue chased them out, but they didn't see Lin Yi's figure when they came out, they were anxiously summing up at the door.
"It's all your fault! Said to bring him here!" Lin Yue complained about Zhuang Yan indiscriminately.
"Why are you blaming me again?" Zhuang Yan was a little innocent, this was clearly Lin Yue's suggestion.
Lin Chen hid in the opposite street and watched, for a long time, only Zhuang Yan and Lin Yue were bickering opposite, no one else appeared.Lin Chen couldn't help thinking, could it be that he made a big fuss out of a molehill?
Not wanting to make the two people on the other side unhappy, Lin Chen obediently appeared, "I haven't left yet."
When Zhuang Yan and Lin Yue saw Lin Jian, they immediately ran over from the opposite street, "I was scared to death. I thought you were really leaving."
"I'm sorry. I just thought..." It was his own imagination, and Lin Qian was ashamed to explain.
Lin Yue asked him, "Why?"
I thought you were in collusion with him.Just now, when Lin Chi touched the hand of the person beside him, he was shocked by the familiarity.
"Lin Chen, have you ever thought about it. You never really let go?"
Lin Chen lowered his eyes and didn't answer the question. He really wanted to go back this time.Because of him, Zhuang Yan and Lin Yue didn't even speak a word on the way back.
When getting out of the car, Lin Chi looked up at the window on the second floor opposite. The light was on, but there were shadows flickering, and some couldn't see clearly.After such a long time, it was the first time that Lin Chen felt listless. It was because he thought wrongly. He turned around and said sorry to Lin Yue and Zhuang Yan, "I'm sorry for disturbing your interest. Sure enough, you shouldn't bring me a light bulb on a date."
Neither Zhuang Yan nor Lin Yue said much, they just shook their heads and said it was nothing, asking him to take a good rest.
After entering the door, the oncoming landlord smiled and told Lin Chi that he had bought some things for him while he was away.Lin Chen forced a smile to thank the landlord.When I went up to the second floor, I saw that a lot of things had been added. There were sofas, carpets and refrigerators, and there were even fruits and soda in the refrigerator.
I feel like I need to give the landlord some more money.He felt very tired today, he fell back on the sofa, took the pillow and hugged him in his arms, when the phone rang again.It was the link sent by Zhuang Yan, telling him that this is a restaurant in Chinatown that can order online.Lin Chi opened it and saw that there were sweet and sour pork ribs.
He didn't eat much tonight, and he hadn't had a hot meal for a long time. When he saw the sweet and sour pork ribs, he moved his index finger and placed the order without thinking.After placing the order, I hugged the pillow and closed my eyes to rest for a while, and then regretted the order I just placed. I don’t know how far Chinatown is from here. It will probably be delivered in the middle of the night.He couldn't digest well, and eating too much in the middle of the night would make him sleepless.
Lin Chen sat up, thinking about it or planning to cancel the order, "Should we come in time?"
It was too late, the doorbell rang, and the landlord shouted from downstairs that the takeaway had arrived.
Lin Chen raised his head and looked out the window, squeezed his phone tightly and couldn't help but start to wonder, how could it be delivered so quickly from Chinatown to him?
Lin Ling didn't go to class the next day, and ordered sweet and sour pork ribs and fried rice at noon.After placing the order, I waited for the time, and after 15 minutes, I planned to go downstairs and wait.He wanted to see who delivered the food, could it be from the opposite side?
However, when he reached the corner of the stairs, what Lin Chi saw was that the landlord opened the door and came in with a takeaway box in his hand. When he looked up, he was slightly shocked to see Lin Chi, and explained to him with a smile that he met the delivery man at the door.
Could it be that I was thinking too much again?
Lin Can went downstairs feeling a little disappointed, confiscated the takeaway, and gave it directly to the landlord, saying that he would let her taste the characteristics of his hometown, while he himself wanted to go out to school, and had already skipped the morning class. Suspicious waste of time.
