Chapter 31: With Silence and Tears?
The car was speeding on the road, Xue Rin stepped on the accelerator and tried to get to the mall in advance, and received a call from Lao Yu on the way, and he also lied that he would be late in a traffic jam, so that they didn't have to hurry and take their time.
Parking the car in the underground parking lot, Xue Rin turned the car key in his hand, whistled and strode towards the elevator room, entered the elevator, and just pressed the button on the basement floor, the mobile phone rang inappropriately.
The person on the other end of the phone was still Lao Yu, in order to tell him that Lin Qingyu had been delivered to the door of the first floor of the mall.
Hanging up the phone, Xue Rin gritted his teeth, the elevator reached the basement floor, the door opened and closed, he stood in place and stomped his feet, and reluctantly pressed the button on the first floor.
When she saw the beautifully dressed Lin Qingyu, Lao Yu was following her and walked with her to a veteran French leather bag store on the first floor.
"Xue Rin!" Lin Qingyu put down the bag in her hand without hesitation, revealing a bright smile.
Xue Rin pursed her lips and squeezed out a smile at Lin Qingyu, and then glared at Lao Yu who was standing behind her.
Receiving this sharp look, Lao Yu replied to him with a puzzled "Did I do something wrong?" look.
Lin Qingyu's eyes were full of Xue Rin at this time, and she was unaware of the eye contact between the two people in front of her and behind her, her eyelashes flickered, and she was brushed to the roots, and her apricot pupils quietly looked at Xue Rin from top to bottom.
Very nice and dressed in a way that suits her taste.
The only thing that made her a little dissatisfied was the vague smell of perfume on Xue Rin's body, which seemed to her to be a little less mysterious and male hormones, and seemed too cold.
"I'm really sorry, you just came home for two days, and before you had a good rest, you had to run out to go shopping with me. ”
Lin Qingyu followed her father to see Xue Huaiyuan earlier today, originally wanting to go to the Xue family again, she knew that Xue Huaiyuan had a good impression of her, but Qi Hang, the hostess of the Xue family, who maintained a measured politeness and enthusiasm every time she met, was the object she felt needed to spend time and effort to conquer.
It's not that I haven't heard of Qi Hang's deeds before retiring, so in Lin Qingyu's strategy, Xue Rin's side must be familiar with it, and Qi Hang's side must not lack etiquette.
"It's okay, it's the weekend, come out and relax. ”
Xue Rin turned to the side as he spoke, and he didn't seem to be interested in the things in the store at all.
Lin Qingyu saw that he didn't mean to accompany him to buy things, so he hurriedly proposed: "It's so boring to go shopping, and there are no good-looking new models, why don't you decide a good place to take me to see it." Lin Qingyu said and gently put a hand on Xue Rin's arm.
"Oh, that's it, so let's do it, Aunt Qi asked me to go to the supermarket to buy a toothpaste, let's go shopping in the supermarket, and then go have a meal?" Xue Rin immediately proposed.
"Supermarket ...... Well, I cook my own food when I have time, so I can just go and see if there are any high-quality ingredients. ”
Hearing that the son of the Xue family was going to go to the supermarket to buy toothpaste in person, Lin Qingyu thought he was joking at first, but seeing Xue Rin's serious expression, she had to make a reason to echo him.
After Xue Rin returned to China, it was the first time to visit his own shopping mall, and he was not very familiar with the location of the supermarket, so he had to be led by Lao Yu in front.
Xue Rin frowned, and everything around him seemed to be mosaiced and blurred.
Will she gain a little weight? When I pulled her hand before, the joints were all distinct.
Should he take the initiative to say hello and how should he greet her naturally?
When the supermarket sign swept over Xue Rin's head, he instantly became nervous, and he didn't dare to look around too obviously, so he had to pretend to walk between the shelves casually.
He absentmindedly swept the shelves of goods while secretly looking for a figure in overalls.
"Xue Rin, there's the toiletries area over there!"
Lin Qingyu hadn't been to the supermarket for a long time, she just wanted to end this part quickly, and simply looked for the "damn" toothpaste more actively than Xue Rin.
Xue Rin turned around and followed Lin Qingyu towards the toiletries area, he clenched his fist and found that his palm was already wet.
"Which brand do you want?"
The dazzling array of toothpaste brands are all the same in Lin Qingyu's eyes, because she only uses one Italian brand of toothpaste, but the fact of accompanying Xue Rin to buy daily necessities itself seems to mean that she and his relationship are one step closer, so she enjoys this feeling of participating in his life.
"Just one. ”
Xue Rin said and grabbed a toothpaste with a relatively simple and elegant design.
"I'm running out of toothpaste, which restaurant are you going to take me to eat in a while?" Lin Qingyu knew that tonight's highlight was coming soon, and she couldn't wait.
"Won't you take a look at the ingredients, I'll take you shopping again?" When Xue Rin said this, he had already made a "please" gesture in front of Lin Qingyu.
Lin Qingyu had a hard time riding the tiger, so she had to smile and say, "Okay! I heard that the fresh ingredients in your supermarket are very fresh and of good quality!"
After Lin Qingyu finished speaking, he walked forward with elegant steps and followed Lao Yu not far in front of him, and the delicate high heels made a nice crisp sound on the tile floor, attracting customers passing by to turn back frequently and secretly admire this excellent stunner.
Xue Rin followed at a speed that would not fall behind, his eyes sweeping over all the shelves on both sides like radar.
"Xue Rin!
Lin Qingyu stopped in the wine area and turned around excitedly to wave to Xue Rin.
Hearing the urging, Xue Rin reluctantly quickened her pace, walked towards the wine area, and took a closer look, only to see Lin Qingyu holding a bottle of wine, she nodded while looking down at the label, as if a staff member was introducing her.
"Xue Rin, come on, let's buy this bottle of bar! The winery is OK, and the vintage can also be. Lin Qingyu waved happily at Xue Rin.
"Okay, you can ...... if you like"
Xue Rin had just walked to the shelves, but he was speechless as if he had suddenly been spelled.
Yao Zhixia, who was wearing work clothes, had a calm face, and she maintained a professional smile, as if the two had never seen each other.
"Xue Rin, I'll keep this bottle of wine for myself first, and the next time you come to my house, we'll drink it together. ”
Lin Qingyu was disdainful of this kind of wine in the supermarket, but she suddenly thought that she could invite Xue Rin to her house for dinner with this bottle of wine.
Xue Rin glanced at the person beside Lin Qingyu lightly, but there was still no ripple in those eyes that made him want to see and were afraid to see.
"Okay, I haven't had a chance to visit Lin Dong yet, as a junior, I should go. Seeing that the other party was unkind, Xue Rin simply broke the jar and broke it.
Lin Qingyu didn't realize that he was deep in the battlefield, and as soon as he heard this, he immediately coquettishly stuffed the bottle of wine into Xue Rin's arms, and Xue Rin, who didn't know what it meant, took the bottle with a confused expression.
"I'm hungry! I'm going to eat! You can keep this wine for me for the time being!"
Lin Qingyu showed a charming smile, and even her tone became soft, and after speaking, she raised her head, brushed Xue Rin's shoulders and walked towards the exit of the supermarket.
Xue Rin stood in place, his originally warm expression like a spring breeze suddenly became frozen for thousands of miles, he raised his hand to carry the wine bottle into the air, and Lao Yu behind him automatically stepped forward to take it.
The perennial professionalism made him sensitive to the fact that the waiter who was staring at Xue Rin must know Xue Rin, he saw that this woman was a little familiar, and he couldn't remember where he had seen it, so he had to walk away with interest.
"I see you sell sushi sashimi in your supermarket, is it fresh?"
Xue Rin raised his chin and stared at the person opposite who bowed his head and was silent, and there was a turbulent undercurrent hidden in the casual questioning.
"The fresh food in our supermarket is updated every day to ensure that it is fresh and nutritious, and the guests are ...... Rest assured. Yao Zhixia lowered her eyes and stared at the spotless leather shoes in front of her.
"Yes? Yesterday's things, no matter how good, have to be discarded today. The better the stuff, the shorter the shelf life. Good things are still short-lived, let alone bad, and there's nothing to be sorry for throwing them away, don't you say?"
hated the woman for looking like a turtle with a shrunken head, no matter how hard Xue Rin endured, the anger in his heart was still exposed in the tail note of gritting teeth.
Yao Zhixia's eyelids began to tremble unconsciously, and the hands crossed in front of him were clenched tightly.
"The guest was right, it's not worth the pity. ”
Hearing this, Xue Rin's eyes darkened, but in the blink of an eye, he was attracted by Yao Zhixia's cheeks.
Her face seems to be a little more rosy than before!
In the next second, realizing his strange concern, Xue Rin cursed in his heart, and immediately turned around and fled the scene in embarrassment.
It wasn't until the figure of that person became blurred that Yao Zhixia slowly raised his head, and a tear that had been hidden for a long time quietly slipped from the corner of his eye and fell down his thin cheeks to the cold ground.
A few minutes ago, Yao Zhixia had just finished the goods, and when she turned around, she saw the radiant Lin Qingyu, and she couldn't help but be stunned.
But when she found out that Lin Qingyu didn't remember her at all, she felt a little lucky, she would rather this young lady not remember any of her identities than listen to her shout a sentence of "Ah! you are the waiter!"
She politely stepped forward to introduce the red wine she was holding in her hand to Lin Qingyu, but her whole body stiffened after hearing Lin Qingyu's shout of "Xue Rin".
Before she could hide, the man who had forced her to stop being delusional was already standing less than a meter away from her.
Her heart was already in chaos, but she desperately restrained her expression and demeanor, for fear that her gaffe would be discovered, and she didn't want to make him ugly with a female companion because of her gaffe.
She deservedly adhered to her identity as an outsider, listening to Xue Rin and Lin Qingyu talk about their daily living arrangements and the intimate interaction between the two families.
She couldn't figure out which word had burned her heart, but she knew that under that fragile disguise, in some unknown corner, something she had been secretly cherishing was now shattered.
After Lin Qingyu left, he thought that it was time for this bloody slaughter to end, but who would have thought that he would not give up, break through her last line of defense in a few words, and leave with the spoils of war without hesitation.
Only she was left defeated, and she survived.
She didn't understand, she really couldn't figure it out, what was wrong with them?
Originally, she was optimistic that the time on the island should have been a sweet dream, but now it seems that for her, what she could not continue to live in reality was a nightmare.
And for him, it wasn't even a dream, at best it was just a bubble, a bubble that would burst when you poked it.
