Chapter 142
"I like you. β
This sentence circulated in Lin Xiao's mind for almost a whole night, and as soon as he closed his eyes, Huang Lu who said this suddenly appeared in his mind.
His eyes were full of affection, and it seemed that even his breath was filled with endless tenderness.
Lin Xiao finally came out of the long and chaotic dream, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the ceiling of the same color. After staring at it for a while, Lin Xiao came to his senses completely, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily continued to rise, until he couldn't help but laugh.
Lin Xiao is twenty-eight years old this year, and she didn't expect someone to say to her childishly and sincerely like last night: I like you.
No matter how you think about it, you can't help but want to be happy.
When he was a student, Lin Xiao heard reckless and simple confessions, and his feelings at that time were naΓ―ve and simple.
Later, after entering the social work, I also encountered many temptations, whether sincere or false, but they were all reserved and shrewd with adults. Keeping a proper distance from each other, quietly revealing kindness, and after perceiving the other party's idea of refusal, they withdrew in time, and the cloud was so light that it seemed that it had never happened.
This is the first time someone has said so directly: I like you.
Thin, but unprecedentedly moving.
"I'll go out first. Zhao Qingran heard the movement in Lin Xiao's room, and after knowing that she was awake, he walked over and gently knocked on the door and said.
"Hmm-" Lin Xiao replied in a dragging voice, in a good mood: "Are you still going shopping today?" or go back to the studio to draw?"
"I'll go for a walk in the morning and wait until it's about noon. Zhao Qingran also laughed and said, "Isn't Xu Yuanhang coming back today, I went to Shandong to hear what he has experienced in the past few days." β
Although Hanfu is two completely different categories from fashion, it is also extremely referential in some aspects. After getting used to the inherent circle and environment, it is also a good way and choice to jump out appropriately and look at other places or other industries.
Zhao Qingran's adaptability in this regard is quite strong, from the beginning, except for Lin Xiao and Huang Lu, no one wanted to say anything and had nothing to say, and now even Xu Yuanhang has been summed up in the camp where he can chat and discuss.
Of course, it should be comforting.
"Okay, I'll see you in the studio that afternoon. Lin Xiao stretched his long waist and said, "I'll sleep again." β
"See you that afternoon. Zhao Qingran smiled, and asked casually when he turned around, "I heard that you left with Brother Lu early last night, why did you come back so late?"
The other party obviously just asked casually, and he didn't intend to get any answer from Lin Xiao, so he turned around and went out.
Lin Xiao was lying on the bed, and the flush spread silently from his neck. The phrase "I like you" exploded in my heart again like fireworks.
Ahh
Lin Xiao grabbed the quilt and howled silently in his heart.
After Huang Lu said this, he didn't mean to ask Lin Xiao to answer immediately, but rather gentlemanly asked her to think about it again, so she didn't need to answer immediately, and then turned around and got into the car.
After the other party arrived home, the two said goodnight to each other as usual before going to bed.
Didn't say anything more, or didn't need to say anything more at all.
Throughout the morning, Lin Xiao was in this state of half-excitement and half-hesitation. When I was applying makeup in front of the mirror, I looked at myself in the mirror and couldn't help but have fun for most of the day.
This good mood lasted all the way to the studio.
"What about Xu Yuanhang?" Unexpectedly, after arriving at the office, Xu Yuanhang was not here.
Qin Yueyue looked tired, raised his head from behind the computer screen, pointed to the next door weakly, and said, "I shouldn't have woken up yet." β
"Why haven't you woken up yet?" Lin Xiao put down his bag, raised his hand to look at the time, and was a little puzzled: "It's noon now, what time did you come back last night." β
She didn't even ask Qin Yueyue if she had picked it up, and had already acquiesced in her heart that the other party would go.
"Eh, Yue Yue, did you finally pick up Brother Xu?" After Lin Fang heard what Lin Xiao said, the gossip radar instantly lit up out of place, and he looked at the other party with an expression of "sure enough".
Qin Yueyue frowned, glanced at him unceremoniously, and said, "Otherwise, I will be half-dead all morning today." β
Frank and swaying.
Lin Fang's gossip radar fell back in an instant, touched the tip of his nose embarrassedly, and asked, "Is Brother Xu okay?"
The few people in Fantes didn't listen carefully to what Xu Yuanhang said about the specific business matters, they only knew about the new model in the distant mountains this time, and they didn't know why the situation was particularly bad. Xu Yuanhang seemed to have found the reason, and ran to Shandong without stopping, and stayed for several days in a row.
Lin Xiao also looked at Qin Yueyue, his face full of concern and doubt.
"Why are you looking at me?" Qin Yueyue was a little helpless, spread his hands, and said, "I just went to be a tool man once, and everyone was sleepy at night." Xu Yuanhang was in a very bad mood when he saw it, it was like he was about to die, of course I couldn't go up and ask. β
According to Qin Yueyue's statement, the two were silent all the way downstairs. Only when Qin Yueyue was about to leave at the end did Xu Yuanhang ask her to drive the car away and drive back the next day.
"Do you still need him to remind me?" Qin Yue cut off with disdain, and said, "It's so hard to toss around at night, then if I really send him home and turn around and take a taxi back by myself, then I'm too virgin." β
Lin Xiao smiled and couldn't help but nod: "Well, in the words of your brother Lu, that is the Living Bodhisattva." β
"Living Bodhisattva, whoever of you wants to be, I don't deserve it. Qin Yue leaned back, leaned back in his chair, and said, "It's too much of a toss." β
"Tut-tut. Lin Fang's gossip radar was put down, and instead they were accustomed to attacking each other: "Brother Xu is usually very good to you, and the relationship between the two of you is not bad, just go to pick him up at night, and you complain like this." Do you think you're worthy of him?"
"I'm sorry, you're still worthy? Why didn't you take the initiative to ask for help last night? β
Lin Fang still wanted to say something, but gradually realized that the atmosphere seemed to be a little wrong, glanced at Qin Yueyue, and finally didn't say anything.
Not only Lin Fang, but even Lin Xiao, who had been listening to the two of them very carefully, noticed that Qin Yue was more wrong today, and his mood was much more irritable than usual.
The bell rang in the house, and after Lin Fang answered the phone, he answered a few times and hurried outside.
"Why are you going-" Before Qin Yueyue could speak, Lin Fang had already run away.
Qin Yueyue looked at the back of the other party leaving, glanced at Lin Xiao next to him hesitantly, and said cautiously: "Sister Xiaolin." β
"What's wrong?" Lin Xiao was watching the show video, and the barrage on the screen was full of people who couldn't appreciate it, and she frowned when she saw it, and after hearing Qin Yueyue call her, she pressed the pause button.
"I just ...... Isn't it a little fierce to Brother Fang?" Qin Yueyue finished speaking, with obvious apologies on his face.
Even when she was joking, she rarely spoke to people in an impatient tone all the time as she had just done. waited until his emotions were a little soothed, and then he began to feel apprehensive again.
"It's okay, if there was really anything, your brother would have jumped up and fought you to the death. Lin Xiao smiled, but still asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's not. Qin Yueyue shook his head in denial, thought about it and nodded: "Okay, it's a little." β
The topic seems to end here, and if you continue to ask, it will inevitably embarrass the two.
What you want to say, you will say at the time of the first question. I don't want to say it, what others are still asking, and what I get can only be an answer that will make both of them embarrassed and uncomfortable.
"Come and help me, hurry!" Xu Yuanhang's voice suddenly appeared at the door, and Chen Su, who was the closest, immediately greeted him, and while taking the various packaging bags in his hand, he frowned and asked, "Did you buy some ...... Milk tea?"
Lin Xiao also walked out, took a few bags from Lin Fang's hand, and couldn't help but be stunned after putting them on the table: "You just went downstairs, just to get milk tea?" After speaking, he glanced in the direction of Qin Yueyue, Qin Yueyue also heard the movement here, stood up and walked over slowly, and smiled at Lin Xiao embarrassedly.
"Yes," Lin Fang finally put all the milk tea in his hand on the table, and after glancing at it with satisfaction to make sure that none of the cups were leaking, he looked up at everyone and said, "Every time I order takeout, I can't help but want to sigh once, it's really not easy for takeaway brother." In our place, on the way to find it, there is no doubt that life can be regarded as remarkable. This time, the little brother was quite sincere, and he walked around the downstairs twice, but he really couldn't find the elevator that came up, so he called me and asked me to go down to get it. β
"Break the place? When will Mr. Lin approve some money and make room for us that is not broken. Huang Lu walked in with two bags of clothes, and after putting the packages on the work table, he laughed unceremoniously.
"Then where can I be!" Lin Fang patted his thigh, changed his face faster than in early summer, rummaged through a pile of milk tea, took out a cup and handed it to Huang Lu, with an extremely dog-legged expression: "Brother Lu, your favorite coffee." β
"You also give me coffee from the bubble tea shop, it's really sweet. Huang Lu snorted, but still took it quite cooperatively.
"Forget it, Brother Fang," Lin Xiao couldn't help but be happy, turned his head to Lin Fang and said, "Go and change a cup of instant dissolution for your brother Lu, instant dissolution is his taste." Other coffees, not used to drinking. β
Huang Lu looked up at Lin Xiao, and the words he originally wanted to say were bent in his mouth, and he stiffly held it back and then changed it to a sentence: "It's still your Sister Xiaolin who understands me." β
When Lin Fang heard this, he happily stretched out his hand to get the coffee back, and was immediately slapped twice by Huang Lu without hesitation.
Qin Yueyue, who was still nervous just now, was completely relieved and began to follow everyone blindly.
"It's not big or small, and rebellion can be low-key. Huang Lu's tone was helpless, but his eyes were always on Lin Xiao and never left.
Even in front of so many people around, it seemed that there was only one her left in Huang Lu's eyes.
That sentence from last night instantly sounded in his mind again, Lin Xiao originally wanted to continue to say something coaxing, but now he couldn't say it at all.
"Can someone come and help?" Huang Lu sat down for a while, and Xu Yuanhang also walked in with a large bag and a small bag. Holding a half-human-tall package on one shoulder, there is no way to see the person in front of him clearly when he walks forward.
"Be careful, how did you carry so much. Lin Xiao got closer, and hurriedly took two steps forward to help help the package, and carefully unloaded the package with the other party and put it on the work table.
Seeing this, Qin Yue Yue had originally taken two steps forward, but now he quietly retreated.
"It's ok, not much. Before Xu Yuanhang could speak, Huang Lu spoke first. With a straw in his mouth, he leaned on the table next to him with his legs crossed, like an unscrupulous landlord class image: "Young man, you are too neglectful of exercise." In the past few days, it's okay anyway, just follow me to the factory to carry bags. β
"Have you negotiated the salary?" Lin Xiao deeply agreed with Xu Yuanhang's neglect of exercise, and by the way, he did not forget to fight for his rights.
"Volunteer. Huang Lu raised his eyebrows, and his tone was arrogant and domineering.
"Brother Xu, Brother Xu, why did you fall into the current situation. Lin bowed to tears wistfully.
"Back then, when I had nothing to do, I was escorted by Luo Qiang and Zhang Yanan to sell breakfast with them every day. β
Lin Fang sighed, a little surprised: "I didn't expect Brother Lu that you still have such a time? No wonder you have to insist on getting up for breakfast even if you stay up until two or three o'clock every day." I thought you were smoking too much and trying to neutralize it. β
"Who did you learn from at such a young age?" Huang Lu sighed and said, "After all, at that time, every morning before dawn, they would come to the door at three or four o'clock to arrest me. There was a knock on the door, and I guess I would have to be removed from the entire building if I didn't go out. It didn't work, and gradually it became a habit. β
"Eh, then will you do it?" Xie Yiyi couldn't help but speak, and asked curiously.
"Of course it will, what xiaolongbao pancakes and fruits, there are those at the entrance of the village, none of which I don't know. If I go out of the mountains, they will be unemployed the next day......"
Huang Lu was still half-jokingly chatting with everyone about the past, but Lin Xiao couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
These things that Huang Lu said lightly should have happened when NEW/STEP went bankrupt. Luo Qiang and Zhang Yanan finally found a way to understand the city, and life is still hard, but full of hope. But I didn't expect the person who brought me hope to fall like this. Of course, they can't sit idly by, and they can't do anything else, so they can only take the most basic method and escort Huang Lu out.
Some people are better able to set off after resting. But for people like Huang Lu, who can't be idle at all, after a long time of tension, he suddenly relaxes, and the whole person may be abandoned because of this.
Only by going out day by day can we regain our faith and love for the world.
The rising sun can always bring people a different kind of motivation and hope. It's something you can't feel when you lie at home day after day, looking at the ceiling.
"I went to Shandong, did you find anything?" Lin Xiao suddenly asked.
The people who were still making a fuss and laughing just now suddenly lost their voices, and their eyes looked in the direction of Xu Yuanhang intentionally or unintentionally, and then they moved away pretending that nothing had happened. Only Qin Yueyue took his gaze back from other places and looked at Xu Yuanhang's direction very seriously.
In fact, as soon as Xu Yuanhang entered the door, everyone couldn't help but want to ask a few words about his situation in Shandong these days. It has nothing to do with gossip and looks lively, just out of concern from the perspective of friends. At Vantes, it's easy to fit in with everyone. Genuine concern and concern for each other's living conditions.
It's just that after Huang Lu's words just now, it can roughly show that Xu Yuanhang's situation is not very good now. Everyone hesitated, but they didn't expect Lin Xiao to ask bluntly in the end.
The smile on Xu Yuanhang's face gradually disappeared, and he fell silent. After a long time, he said softly: "In the distant mountains, I can't do it for the time being." β
