Chapter 20: Not a suitable person to talk to
Warm water overflowed through his fingertips, Lin Jishen moistened the towel and wrung it out before coming out of the bathroom and returning to the bedside.
The person in the bed had stopped talking, and this time it was as if he had really fallen asleep.
"Li Shubai. He sat down, wiping her hand, and asked nonchalantly, "Have you ever thought about going back to the old days?"
The room was quiet, and he waited, but until the towel in his hand was no longer warm, and there was still no one to answer his question.
She defined their relationship as a gentleman's friendship, so that it seemed that he was really not good enough to be a suitable person to talk to. Tonight's words, the question he asked, it seems that he can only be asked casually, after all, she can't hear it, and even if she does, she won't answer him.
He sat on the edge of the bed for a while, and when he saw that it was already late at night, he was about to get up and go back to his room, when his mobile phone on the bedside table rang.
"Hey. ”
Lin Jishen's tone when he answered the phone was not too good.
"Lin Jishen?"
"It's me. ”
"Why is her phone in your hand?"
"I fell asleep drunk and couldn't answer the phone. ”
"She can't drink. ”
"You know her well. ”
“......”
"Come to think of it, a few years ago, the Lu and Li families seemed to have been married, although in the end you regretted the marriage after robbing other people's property. ”
Surprised that Lin Jishen suddenly mentioned the events of the year, Lu Ran snorted coldly on the other end of the phone, "I really can't imagine that Mr. Lin usually pays attention to these false rumors." ”
"I'm also hearsay, Mr. Lu is a person, so it's not like this. ”
"Lin Jishen!"
There was a beep on the phone, and Lin Jishen had already hung up the phone.
--
Coming out of Shu Bai's room, Lin Jishen returned to his room.
In front of the window, looking out from here, you can see the entire Honghu Lake waters, as well as the noisy night scene along the coast.
"Hey. ”
He answered the phone again.
"You're in Yunan?"
The man on the phone asked about his whereabouts.
"What's the matter?"
"When did I come back, my father was hospitalized. ”
“......”
"The situation is not very rosy. ”
Lin Ji was silent for a moment, after all, he couldn't be indifferent, "What did the doctor say?"
"The treatment can be treated, but there are still risks in the case of surgery. ”
"When will the surgery be done?"
"The day after tomorrow. ”
This time, although there was silence on the phone again, Lin Tingshen knew that since he asked, he would naturally rush back to Tianjin City before the day after tomorrow, even if the purpose of this phone call had been achieved.
"How did you get to Yunan?"
Seeing that Lin Jishen had not hung up the phone in a rare way, he planned to find a topic at random and continue to talk to him.
"By car. ”
"You drove it yourself?"
"Someone...... Be my driver. ”
"Do you want me to pick you up?"
"I said, I have a driver. ”
"Where are you looking for a driver, how many years of driving experience, and how is your driving skills?"
Under Lin Tingshen's inquiry, Lin Jishen really recalled Li Shubai's driving skills, which were very bad, after all, she also asked him if he spared his life.
"Also...... Okay. He said perfunctorily, "I'll hang up." ”
Sure enough, it was still the same as before, Lin Tingshen reluctantly answered, "...... Then you rest early. ”
--
On the second day, Xia Jue wandered in the corridor on the sixth floor early, to be precise, at the doors of 604 and 603.
Lin Jishen came out of the room and saw her at a glance, "Manager Xia?"
"Mr. Lin, I'm waiting for you to go down for breakfast. ”
"How long have you been waiting?"
"Soon after, I just arrived. Xia Jue smiled, and then glanced into the door that he had not closed, "What about Miss Li?"
"She may not be up yet, you can go over and knock on the door. ”
"Huh?"
Under Xia Jue's astonishment, Lin Jishen walked to the door of 603 and knocked on the door.
There was no response from the room, so he had to call her.
"Hey. ”
"After washing, Manager Xia and I will go to the second floor first and wait for you in the buffet area. ”
Hearing Lin Jishen's voice, Shubai jumped up from the bed, but because the action of getting up was too fast and violent, he only felt that his head was more dizzy.
“...... Got it, I'll go down soon. ”
Outside the room, Xia Jue led Lin Ji into the elevator and talked about today's itinerary.
"Mr. Lin, after breakfast, I will first take you to see the various room types of Yihe Hotel, tomorrow, we will go to some scenic spots along the Honghu Lake, after all, it is not easy to come to a trip. ”
"I'm going back to Jin City tomorrow. ”
"So fast, then let's be efficient today and show you the night view here at night. ”
"When I have time, work matters. ”
"I heard that Manager Li is also from Chongqing, so she should be familiar with this place. ”
Li Shubai is indeed from here, but until now, she has not mentioned a word about taking him to his hometown.
