At the end of October, Kingston upon Thames ushered in the day of voting in a by-election.

Katie spends all day in her campaign headquarters, thinking about the variables she might encounter.

Lin Yilong was also in Kingston upon Thames that day, in addition to coming here to cheer for Katie and vote for her, he also came here to carry out the acceptance steps of the house rebuilding - the people who came to the new house to inspect and accept were all hired professional environmental evaluators, as the owner and client, Lin Yilong only needed to drink coffee on the table at the door, although it was very cool outside.

After having dinner with Lord Hasselton the year before, the idea of a new home in Kingston came about. The new location for the London residence was actually finalized a year and a half ago, with the condition that a building permit for the conversion would have to be obtained. It took some time to re-apply for the building permit and make the announcement, and it was only in June of that year that the closing was completed and the formal transfer contract was signed, with the original owner handing over the land deed, new design and building permit documents to Lin Yilong.

"The samples we took still need to be tested, but in my experience, there are no problems here. The third-party evaluator commissioned by Lin Yilong said, "Tomorrow morning, after the inspection report comes out, I will give Mr. a letter of approval to see if I can officially move in." ”

"Okay, thanks. Lin Yilong replied, shaking hands with him and saying goodbye.

The representative of the contractor of his house came to him and seemed to want to say something.

"Is there anything I can help?" asked Lin Yilong.

"We will consider whether we can receive the construction payment from Mr. Lin two days in advance. "Now that there's nothing we need to do anymore, and we're almost certain to pass the third-party EIA." So, can Mr. Lin pay us as soon as possible?"

"That's fine, but have you brought the receipt now?" Lin Yilong asked, "It's not a receipt, it's a proper receipt." “

"If Mr. Lin is willing to wait for me a little bit, I'm willing to let the boy from our office bring it right away. The contractor saw the drama and immediately made such a promise.

The two then waited patiently, but did not communicate much.

Lin Yilong's attention was on the relevant safety tips he was reading, and the security company and insurance company he commissioned planned the security strategy for the alarm bell as soon as the house was announced to be completed.

Every window and door in this house has a security device, and as long as it is not opened with an approved approval, it will be considered trespass and reported directly to the police. Lin Yilong also took great pains to choose a thermal imager and an indoor camera to make it easier to distinguish in detail whether the alarm should be called or not.

Soon after, the contractor's office clerk arrived by car and handed Lin Yilong a receipt and a certificate of warranty.

Lin Yilong then took out the check he had written before he came out of the Bracken Yard from his pocket, but the amount of the check was a little stingy: he didn't write the odds after the 1,000 pounds he didn't bring with him.

As if he hadn't seen it, the contractor just carefully checked that the previous numbers were wrong, hurriedly accepted Lin Yilong's last check for 130,000 pounds, and said goodbye to him resignedly.

"Really, I helped you so much that I wouldn't even say a word of thanks. Lin Yilong sighed - he learned three days ago that his contractor had a cash flow problem and needed to advance his construction fee to pay the bank interest that was due. If Lin Yilong doesn't want to, if he still follows the previously agreed date (two weeks later), the contractor may have to declare bankruptcy as a way to go.

Lin Yilong could have pressured the contractor to reduce the construction fee – but he had no interest in the construction company, so he "just" took 840 pounds enough for him to eat a burger, which was slightly meaningful.

Seeing that there were no outsiders, Lin Yilong put away the canopy, entered the new house by himself, and paced in the corridor.

The strangeness of the new house, the emptiness of the room, and the loneliness of being alone set Lin at ease, but after a moment he had to be a little scared: he was afraid that he was starting to enjoy the feeling he had tried so hard to avoid when he had moved from Surrey three years earlier.

It's not growth.

"Really. Lin Yilong smiled self-deprecatingly, put on his leather jacket again, stepped on his motorcycle, and went to the polling station, checking the voter identity before casting his vote in favor of Katie.

Katie's campaign office has two female volunteers and two staff members in charge of liaison. Volunteer groups of Whig constituencies set up propaganda stations at every polling station in an attempt to finally reach some of the less assertive voters.

With the money he siphoned off from the contractor, Mr. Lin bought 40 fish and chips for each of the Whig volunteers at the polls, and then headed to her campaign headquarters with what was considered Katie's favorite barbecue burger.

Lin greeted the employees, handed out his food, and met Katie, who was pretending to be calm behind her desk.

"Is this a dinner for me?" Katie was of course very happy to see Lin Yilong, and quipped when she saw the hamburger in Lin Yilong's hand.

"No, it's my extra meal to watch how you spend the election. You see, you always need snacks to watch a show. Lin Yilong smiled, then watched Katie's face turn from sunny to cloudy, and still held the burger and fries as tribute, "Eat something, you definitely didn't have lunch."

As a complete newcomer, Katie is very unsure of her primary. The nervous tension was transmitted to the digestive system, and Katie felt sick to her stomach even when she saw the black tea with milk, and she didn't eat anything after a simple breakfast. Seeing Lin Yilong's relaxed appearance of catching her, Katie felt relieved, and even felt that she could fight back.

Katie took the tribute that belonged to her from Lin Yilong.

Just as she opened the paper bag containing the takeaway, Katie covered her mouth and tried not to spit it out.

It seems that the burger is not to Katie's appetite either, and she can't eat it for the time being.

However, Katie still spits it out and spits in the takeout bag of the burger.

Lin Yilong hurriedly got a glass of water for Katie, and before she could take it, there was another vomiting sound, which was worse than the previous time.

"I'm so sorry. Katie said when she recovered from the paroxysmal vomiting.

"It's nothing, it was the same when I was waiting for the results of the interview. Lin Yilong said with relief.

"Maybe it's because I'm too nervous and haven't eaten for a long time, but now I want to vomit when I smell the barbecue. Katie took the tissue and continued to dispose of what was still hanging on her lips in the takeout that had become her vomit bag.

"Don't move for the time being, I'll go to the pharmacy to see if there is any medicine for gastrointestinal disorders and see if it can relieve your symptoms. Lin then asked Katie's assistant to take care of her, and then ran to a pharmacy not far away to ask the pharmacist about a possible solution.

“....... Finally, I suggest you don't forget to bring this. Seeing that Lin Yilong had already bought some digestive medicine, the pharmacist wanted to continue to grab his fat sheep and slaughter it, and actively recommended her other products to Lin Yilong, "When will you make love once?" I think that pregnancy may not be ruled out, I suggest you buy another pregnancy test stick to try." ”

Lin Yilong thought it made sense, and Katie would go back to Bonas Beach every weekend to spend the weekend with him, so he bought it too.

That night, Katie was choked up with tears in her eyes as she gave her victory speech, as if she were a defeat speech. Her voters didn't think it was wrong for a 24-year-old newly elected "parliamentary baby."

The real reason behind this can only be understood by the young girl who was hugged by her lover that night and held her own belly that was not yet pregnant.
