The Napolis pizza packed from Juliana's corner and microwaved waffles were served with a vegetable salad that Xin Qing had always loved to eat.

Xin Qing wanted to take out the glutinous rice chicken sent and share it together, but Huo Jinwei said that what her mother made was still left for herself to eat in order to understand the taste, so she simply gave up.

With a red charcoal fire burning in the fireplace, a soap opera filled with canned laughter on the TV, the trio sat on the floor in the living room, putting food on the only couch.

Xin Qing brought a bottle of very ordinary red wine, which was the table wine in the supermarket, and said with a smile: "I don't have the ability to cook, you can make do with it." ”

"Not bad. Huo Jinwei also smiled and said, "At least I didn't boil boiled water for us to drink." ”

After hearing this, Xin Qing smiled from ear to ear, she glanced at Lin Dingqiang on the side, "I remember that when I was in the apartment in the capital, my best thing was to boil boiled water." Once, Lao Lin and I went to buy a lot of quick-frozen meatballs, but we forgot to put them in the refrigerator, and in the end, Lao Lin ate about 40 in one meal. Right, Lao Lin?"

"Yes. Lin Dingqiang replied: "That's really a bit of a support." I don't even want to eat meatballs anymore. ”

After speaking, Huo Jinwei took a deep breath, picked up a thin-crust pizza and handed it to Lin Dingqiang, "Ding Qiang, you eat quickly." You haven't eaten anything since this morning. Don't go hungry. ”

Xin Qing was not to be outdone, she took out a piece of waffle from the plate and handed it over as well, "Then you can't eat too greasy, eat a piece of cake first to get used to it." ”

The choice of pizza and waffles is far more intuitive and difficult than that of clowns and owls, and after seeing the eager eyes of the two, Lin Dingqiang didn't even know which piece to choose for a while.

On the one hand, Xin Qing, who has a debt in his heart, and on the other hand, Huo Jinwei, who takes good care of himself, seems to be the most difficult choice he has encountered in his life.

【Players please select】

[Option A: Select Huo Jinwei.] Bonus: You'll keep the system, but all your wealth and connections will be wiped out.

[Option B: Select Xin Qing.] Bonus: You will unbond the system, but you can keep all your wealth and connections]

The selection picture that had not appeared for a long time suddenly appeared in Lin Dingqiang's mind, and he looked at the most simple and straightforward option, and he was distracted.

In his opinion, this is not a simple choice, and it is not something that can be done after choosing it himself.

This is the emotion of three people, the entanglement of two feelings.

No matter who he chooses, he will always be sorry for the one he didn't choose.

Compared with the original rewards, Lin Dingqiang is no longer facing goods, shares and money, but two living people.

Xin Qing saw that Lin Dingqiang didn't make a choice for a long time, and she was smart enough to see through his embarrassment from the corner of Lin Dingqiang's slightly wrinkled eyes. Her eyes looked out of the window at the beginning of the lanterns, and the sparkling snowflakes were falling on this cold city.

"Lao Lin, it's the first snow!" Xin Qing put down the waffle, walked to the windowsill excitedly, pushed the window open, and stretched out her hand, "Come and see! This is the first snow of the year." ”

Lin Huo and the others also came to the windowsill, looking at the snowflakes in the sky, Huo Jinwei said slowly: "As long as you watch it with your beloved at the beginning of the snow, you will be happy together forever." ”

As soon as the words fell, Xin Huo and the others' eyes turned to Lin Dingqiang again, if this first snow had come so many months earlier, maybe it would not have embarrassed Lin Dingqiang.

"If you're hungry, let's eat first. Lin Dingqiang returned to the original place, he glanced at the waffles and pizza, and then picked up the wine glass next to him and took a deep sip.

Huo Jinwei and Xin Qing glanced at each other, came to Lin Dingqiang's side and sat down, Huo Jinwei asked, "Xin Qing, how long are you going to interview Ding Qiang?"

Xin Qing replied calmly: "Tomorrow, go to the café I frequent." Just downstairs around the corner. ”

Huo Jinwei asked curiously, "Then what questions are you going to ask?"

Lin Dingqiang was also curious, the report arranged by Huo Jinwei last time covered almost all the industries under his name, if Xin Qing still wants to ask questions and write a manuscript for herself, then she must write something different, otherwise it will be a translation.

Xin Qing picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "No problem! ”

"Oh?" Huo Jinwei asked, "Then let's listen to it together." ”

Xin Qing took a sip of wine and stared into Lin Dingqiang's eyes, "Old Lin, I only have one question. ”

"You say. ”

"Have you ever made any regrettable decisions?" Xin Qing smiled and said, "Whether it's life or work." ”

Lin Dingqiang pondered for a while, Xin Qing's question was like a heavy punch to his heart, in his opinion, many things he had done made him regret it.

Whether it is cheating on Wei Jinghan or going back in time with props, all this is like a thorn that can never be pulled out left in Lin Dingqiang's heart.

"Yes. Lin Dingqiang said calmly: "I have a lot of regretful decisions. ”

Before Lin Dingqiang could continue, Xin Qing interrupted his conversation, "Eh, you can't say it now." The question has been handed over to you, and you have said it now, so what will I ask tomorrow?"

Huo Jinwei quipped: "Still keep it secret from me?"

"You'll see what I wrote at the end of the day anyway. Xin Qing smiled at Huo Jinwei, "It's better to wait a little longer for this expectation, and then you can buy one more newspaper." ”

After speaking, Xin Qing gave the wine glass to Huo Jinwei, "Cheers to our friendship." ”

Huo Jinwei was also quite generous, she did not refuse Xin Qing's invitation, and said with a smile: "Respect for our crazy youth." ”

Lin Dingqiang had already guessed the approximate result after listening to the conversation between the two, and the choice picture in his mind had not dispersed for a long time, and he was also waiting for him to make a choice.

After three rounds of drinking, all three of them drank a lot, and it seemed that cheap red wine was going to be more superior.

Huo Jinwei staggered and slowly stood up, "Ding Qiang, I'll go back to the apartment first." There's a BMW down there that will take you to the hotel, and the key card is already in the car. ”

Xin Qing also stood up, and both girls were blushing, and there was an intriguing smile on their red faces.

After staring at each other for a long time, Xinhuo and the two opened their arms at the same time and gave each other the hardest hug.

"See you tomorrow. ”

"See you tomorrow. ”

Lin Dingqiang also got up, Xin Qing didn't keep him for a while or stay, but just habitually handed his coat to Lin Dingqiang when he went out, "Tomorrow at 10 o'clock in the morning, I'll wait for you at the café on the corner." ”

"Good. ”

Lin Dingqiang and Huo Jinwei went out, and after going downstairs, they went to Maybach and BMW. Huo Jinwei was looking for a Chinese driver for Lin Dingqiang, an old man about 50 years old.

After the doors closed, the two cars drove in opposite directions.

The old man said while driving: "Mr. Lin, I will wait for you in the hotel lobby when you go out tomorrow, Miss Huo has ordered, and I will arrange it by you." ”

Lin Dingqiang said politely: "Trouble, thank you." ”

Cars drive through the streets of Brooklyn at night, where more homeless people gather than at dusk. They pitched tents in the streets, warmed fires with discarded oil drums in groups, and wrapped wine bottles in paper bags to welcome the first snowfall.

The snowflakes are getting denser and denser, and a small white hat has been put on top of the street trees on both sides, Lin Dingqiang, who is sitting in the back seat, is holding his mobile phone and looking out the window, but he still thinks about the most difficult choice in his mind.

Ding Ding Ding.

At this time, Lin Dingqiang's phone rang, and when he picked it up, he saw that it was Xin Qing calling.

"Lao Lin, have you gone far?" Xin Qing said anxiously.

Lin Dingqiang looked at the unfamiliar street, "I didn't go far." ”

"Then can you come back and help me?" Xin Qing seemed to have something really going on, "It's too late for me to call the housekeeping company now." ”

"Okay, I'll be right back. ”

After hanging up the phone, Lin Dingqiang said to the driver: "Go back to the place where you just started." ”

"Okay, Mr. Lin. ”

BMW turned around at the next intersection, Lin Dingqiang was even a little flustered, he was afraid that something would really happen to Xin Qing.

But now, he faces another problem. This car was arranged by Huo Jinwei, what would Huo Jinwei think if she knew that she had returned to Xin Qing halfway.

After thinking about it again, Lin Dingqiang still called Huo Jinwei, ready to talk about it.

"Jinwei, something seems to have happened to Xin Qing. Lin Ding said bluntly: "I'll go back and take a look now." ”

Huo Jinwei was silent for a while, then laughed, "Are you going to spend the night there?"

"That's not what I meant. Lin Dingqiang just wanted to defend himself, but Huo Jinwei continued: "Okay, you can go." If you don't come out, remember to tell Uncle Wang and ask him to go home early. It's almost Christmas, and the customs here still have to be happy with the family. ”

After speaking, Huo Jinwei hung up the phone, Lin Dingqiang listened to the busy tone on the phone, and couldn't understand what Huo Jinwei meant for a while.

The BMW stopped downstairs under Xin Qing again, and Lin Dingqiang said to the driver, Uncle Wang: "I may have to delay for a while when I go up." ”

"It's okay, it's okay. Uncle Wang smiled and said, "You are busy." ”

Lin Dingqiang rang the doorbell on the iron door, and this time Xin Qing didn't have a conversation, and opened the door directly to Lin Dingqiang.

After entering the building, Lin Dingqiang saw that the old-fashioned elevator was still rising, and he couldn't care about it so much, so he quickly ran up the stairs on the side.

When he arrived at the door of Xin Qing's house, Lin Dingqiang stepped on the water with one foot, and there was a sound of rushing water in the house.

"Xin Qing, what's wrong?"

Lin Ding strode into the house, and saw Xin Qing scooping the water from the kitchen floor into the sink with a small milk pot, Xin Qing was very embarrassed with a flowery face, but it looked like there was a cute smell.

"Lao Lin, you are here. Xin Qing wiped her hands, "When I was washing the dishes just now, the faucet broke, and it took me a long time to close the valve." See if you can help me change the faucet so I can wash up at night!"

Lin Dingqiang took off his coat, "Is there a spare?"

Xin Qing searched in the cupboard for a long time, took out tools and faucets, "I don't have such a big effort, otherwise I wouldn't be looking for you." ”

Lin Dingqiang took the things and came to the sink and began to change the faucet for Xin Qing.

"I think you might as well go back to the capital. Lin Dingqiang put the wrench on the pipe and said, "It's so far here, and the conditions are not good." The main thing is insecurity. ”

Xin Qing silently dragged the ground behind, and she asked, "Lao Lin, do you like Jinwei?"

Lin Dingqiang was stunned for a second, and the wrench in his hand didn't seem to obey the call, Xin Qing came to Lin Dingqiang's side, "I can see your friendship for her from your reaction." ”

After hearing this, Lin Dingqiang turned the wrench vigorously, Xin Qing saw that Lin Dingqiang did not answer, and then said: "And Jinwei also told me that she is willing to share the same love with me." ”

Bang dang.

Lin Dingqiang was so frightened that the wrench in his hand fell, and Xin Qing laughed: "Why are you so happy?"

"No," Lin Ding stammered, "Share?"

"She took you to a café in Balina with a deep meaning. Xin Qing said with relief: "She is a girl with a lot of ideas." ”

Lin Dingqiang was completely dumbfounded, and he understood why Huo Jinwei's attitude in the car just now was so free.

Xin Qing picked up the wrench in the sink, handed it to Lin Dingqiang, and said: "A love will not be divided into two parts fairly, no matter how you balance it, there will always be one of them who feels unfair." ”

Lin Dingqiang is now in turmoil, and it seems that he can only calm his heart a little by using his strength on the wrench.

"You have always prepared all kinds of surprises for me, fulfilled my every wish, big or small, and accompanied me to do what I wanted to do. Xin Qing stroked her hair and said softly: "The whole world knows that you love me, but I don't know how to understand you." When you were most tired and needed company, I didn't say goodbye, and you still tolerated my willfulness. ”

"During this time, I learned a truth. Xin Qing hugged Lin Dingqiang, who was speechless, from behind, put her cheek on Lin Dingqiang's junior, and said softly: "In the past, you have always paid for me, and now I am ready to walk out of my remaining journey." That's what it's all about when we travel separately. ”

Lin Dingqiang unscrewed the bad faucet, Xin Qing let go of his hand, and deftly got into between Lin Dingqiang's arms, "Old Lin, please forgive me for being willful and rude, and now standing in front of you is a brand-new Xin Qing." She will use the fullest emotions and the most positive attitude to accompany the uncle in front of her all the way, life is not only about eating, drinking, ups and downs, she will also be with the uncle through thick and thin. ”

"Xin Qing, I ....."

Xin Qing pressed Lin Dingqiang's lips with her index finger, "I won't ask for your answer now, no matter if you choose me or Jinwei in the end, I think she and I will bless each other to meet such a you at the most beautiful age." ”

After speaking, Xin Qing slipped out from between Lin Dingqiang's arms and walked towards the bedroom, "Uncle, remember to bring the door after you fix it." I changed my clothes and remembered the appointment for tomorrow. ”

Lin Dingqiang picked up the new faucet and twisted it vigorously: "Okay." ”
