Chapter 150: Heart-to-heart talk
The wind blows on your face on the summer night, gently, with a slight coolness.
When Lin Wenxuan arrived at the health club, it was already ten past eight. It was the rush hour of the day, and the traffic on the road was a little congested, so it came a little later than expected.
Turning a corner, Lin Wenxuan saw Qu Mengnan looking forward to it in front of the fitness club at a glance.
is different from the image I just saw in the restaurant, Qu Mengnan is wearing a dark blue sweatshirt, a pair of clean white sneakers on his feet, and his hair is not very long and is simply tied up by a leather band.
"Sorry, I'm late. β
Lin Wenxuan hurriedly stepped forward and apologized in a low voice.
Anyway, this was the first meeting that the two agreed upon, but she was actually late, and she really couldn't help it.
Qu Mengnan looked at Lin Wenxuan, who was also changing into sportswear, and smiled slightly: "It's okay, I just arrived not long ago, you came from over there, the distance is relatively far, I can understand." Let's go, let's go up. β
After Qu Mengnan finished speaking, she turned around and entered the building, Lin Wenxuan hurriedly followed, and the two took the elevator and soon arrived at the gym.
Built on the fifth floor of this building, this health club is spacious, brightly lit, and every piece of exercise equipment inside is spotlessly clean. When they came in, there were already a few people working out inside.
Before Lin Wenxuan could come back to her senses, a tall, dark-skinned coach walked towards them.
"Hey, honey, you're here!"
"Hey, Mike! I'll introduce you, this is my friend. β
The man known as Mike bowed slightly to Lin Wenxuan, with a natural and appropriate smile on his face and an extraordinarily gentle gaze.
After hugging him, Qu Mengnan turned to Lin Wenxuan and explained: "This is my fitness coach and my good friend, a very enthusiastic big boy, you will feel very easy to communicate with him." Oh yes, I almost forgot, he can speak Chinese, it's just that sometimes it's not that standard, and I think you guys will have a good time communicating. β
"Hello, nice to meet you. β
Lin Wenxuan was not used to the feeling of hugging strangers, so she had to politely stretch out her hand and smile kindly.
Mike didn't mind at all, shook her hand politely, and began to arrange today's project, "OK, then we can start the gym! β
Don't look at Mike's speech does have a bit of a grammar problem, but Lin Wenxuan thinks he has already spoken very well.
Chinese is one of the most difficult languages in the world to learn, and Lin Wenxuan feels that he is remarkable that he can speak Chinese as it is now through his own efforts.
Following the fitness coach on the treadmill, Lin Wenxuan felt more and more like a dream in front of her.
The design here is very chic, the treadmill is facing the huge glass floor-to-ceiling windows, standing on the treadmill, looking at the night view of the city, the feeling of being above the ground and walking under the stars is particularly subtle.
When the two of them ran slowly, Qu Mengnan asked with a smile, "How is it?"
"Nice, it's my first time in this place, running from here, the scenery is beautiful. Lin Wenxuan nodded excitedly.
It seemed like it had been a long time since she had exercised like this, and the feeling of exercise made her feel happy, especially in this place, and also with the person who was running with her.
Qu Mengnan took a deep breath: "The price here is very reasonable, if you like it, you can get an annual card, and come over to exercise if you have nothing to do." But depending on your personality, you probably don't like rock climbing, do you?"
"Rock climbing, I'm afraid I really can't do this......" Lin Wenxuan smiled awkwardly.
Rock climbing, not to mention letting Lin Wenxuan do it, just let her think about that picture briefly, her heart began to tremble.
Qu Mengnan shrugged his shoulders, "I know you're not good at this, but I like it very much, it's just upstairs, it's an indoor rock climbing place, I will often go over to play, and even do wild rock climbing activities." By the way, I've known you for so long, and I haven't even asked you, what's your name?"
Seeing that Lin Wenxuan was not very interested in rock climbing, Qu Mengnan changed the topic with interest.
Everyone has their own interests and hobbies, and if the other party doesn't like it, then there is no need to force the other party to listen to it, which is a kind of psychological torture for both yourself and the other party.
Lin Wenxuan took a deep breath: "My name is Lin Wenxuan, Wen is the Wen of the prefix of rain, and Xuan is the Xuan of the grass prefix." β
"Haha, your way of introducing your name is special, people are looking for words to describe it, so you simply describe to me the specific way to write each word, which has personality. Qu Mengnan laughed, "It's a pleasure to meet you, my name is Qu Mengnan." β
Drooping her eyelids, Lin Wenxuan did not speak.
Of course she knew her name, she thought, her other name, Qu Mengnan should also know.
It's just that she can't tell her another name now.
Seeing that Lin Wenxuan suddenly fell silent, Qu Mengnan frowned and asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?"
"Nothing. Lin Wenxuan shook her head lightly and smiled hard.
Qu Mengnan guessed correctly, she did have something on her mind, but she couldn't confide in her about these things.
Knowing that Lin Wenxuan was pretending to be strong, Qu Mengnan took a deep breath, and her voice was much softer: "You little girl came here by yourself, did you come here to study or to work?"
The best way to deal with someone who is worried is to make her feel warm, make her feel safe, and then slowly pour out her thoughts and worries one by one.
Lin Wenxuan paused, "I'm not here to study, nor am I here to work, I came here because I had no choice." β
"Forced to do so?" Qu Mengnan frowned, "Can you tell me your story?" I mean, if you don't mind. β
"Of course, I don't mind. β
Lin Wenxuan smiled, and her heart suddenly warmed.
She had been thinking about it just now, she couldn't be recognized by Qu Mengnan, and she couldn't be discovered by Qu Mengnan for the purpose of coming here. However, these are all wrapped in Yin Xinyue's identity, she is now Lin Wenxuan, Lin Wenxuan who Qu Mengnan doesn't know.
Facing her relatives, Lin Wenxuan felt that it would be nothing to talk to her more.
"I've been through too much, and coming here is a way for myself and an escape. You may not believe it, but my life has been full of ups and downs, and everything is like a dream, just like the plot of a TV series that everyone has seen. β
Qu Mengnan didn't make a sound, and listened quietly.
"I was very happy, I had a loving mom and dad, a successful career, friends, lovers, I felt that there was no luckier person in this world than me, but I never thought that one day I would lose everything. Mom and Dad passed away, and they told me that I wasn't their biological child, that I was just an orphan they had picked up, and I was in great pain.
Immediately afterward, my best friend and my fiancΓ© knelt in front of me and begged me to fulfill them, making my life worse than death, and even forcing me to leave my job. Later, I had a serious illness and was hospitalized for a long time and finally recovered my health, but they still refused to let go, and repeatedly hurt me and everyone around me, I couldn't bear it, so I came here, intending to fight them back. β
In the end, Lin Wenxuan's eyes gradually became hazy.
None of what she described was a lie, but some of it was hidden.
She said that Yin Xinyan and Qiao Mingjue pressed her and her friends step by step and did not give up, but did not say that Yin Xinyan, as her own sister, kept preventing her from recognizing her family from a very early age, which was chilling.
If it weren't for Yin Xinyan's inch, how could she have thought of taking revenge on them?
However, the focus of the story that Qu Mengnan heard was about Lin Wenxuan's life experience.
I don't know if it's because Yin Xinyue was lost very early, Qu Mengnan is extremely sensitive to everyone's life experience, especially girls who are similar in age to Yin Xinyue, she is extremely sensitive and attentive.
Originally, she didn't think there was anything when she knew Lin Wenxuan, but now that she listened to her story, somehow, looking at Lin Wenxuan in front of her, she inexplicably gave birth to a sense of familiarity and familiarity.
"You...... Where are you from?" Qu Mengnan whispered tentatively.
Lin Wenxuan smiled: "A native of Jinhai City, I later came to Bihu City to study at university, and after graduation, I stayed in Bihu City to live and work directly. β
Qu Mengnan's heart trembled slightly, "Are you sure it's from Jinhai City?" I remember you just said that you are not your parents' biological child, you are the child they picked up, right?"
"Yes, I was indeed the child they picked up, but I don't remember where I was. β
"And how old are you, and how old were you when you got lost?"
"I'm twenty-seven, and I'm not too young. I don't really know at what age I got lost, but I should have been quite young at that time. β
Lin Wenxuan shrugged her shoulders and smiled indifferently.
In fact, she knew all the things Qu Mengnan asked, but she couldn't tell her truthfully.
It is obvious that Qu Mengnan still has not given up looking for Yin Xinyue's whereabouts. Even if she just talked about her life experience lightly, Qu Mengnan asked so sensitively, which is enough to show how much damage Yin Xinyue's lost incident has caused to her family.
Seeing that Lin Wenxuan couldn't answer anything, Qu Mengnan couldn't help but ask the last question: "Are you familiar with Bihu City? Do you know the famous Yin family in Bihu City......? Do you know Yin Xinyan and Yin Xinyue?"
I didn't expect Qu Mengnan to ask so bluntly, Lin Wenxuan's heart sank, and she pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled hard.
"Why do you suddenly ask that?"
Qu Mengnan stared at the expression on Lin Wenxuan's face tightly, and continued tentatively, "What? Do you think there's something wrong?"
At this point, Lin Wenxuan realized that she had wrapped herself in.
She just briefly talked about her experience, and now in the face of the Yin family mentioned by Qu Mengnan, how should she explain?
If she really said that Yin Xinyan was her former best friend, wouldn't it be obvious that the person described in her experience was not obvious?
Qu Mengnan lives abroad all the year round, she must not know that Yin Xinyan has become what she is now, if she knows that the two sisters hurt each other like this and retaliate against each other, wouldn't it be sad and sad for a long time?
Seeing that Lin Wenxuan didn't speak for a long time, Qu Mengnan sighed lowly: "Forget it, everyone has their own secrets and stories, and if you don't want to say it, I won't force you." I ask this just because I think you're a lot like a person...... Alas, it may be that I am too sensitive, she is so lively and cheerful, she loves to talk and laugh, you and her, the personality is different. β
Gently pressed the button, the treadmill slowly stopped, Qu Mengnan stepped off the treadmill, wiped his sweat with a towel, and said with a smile: "No matter what you have experienced, I hope you can live happily, after all, in this world, there are still many children who have been lost, and they can't have a warm home like you, and even, they can never find their own home, even if it is the home of their adoptive parents......"
Knowing that the person in Qu Mengnan's mouth was herself, Lin Wenxuan's heart throbbed again.
Now she is looking at Qu Mengru who doesn't think about food, Yin Shengjie who is looking forward to her daughter coming home day and night, and Qu Mengnan who is sad, her heart is really hurting.
How she wanted to tell them out loud that she was Yin Xinyue, but she couldn't.
The hatred for Yin Xinyan in her heart grew stronger, and a cold light was projected from her brown eyes, Lin Wenxuan took a deep breath, and her hands gradually clenched into fists.
Qu Mengnan didn't notice Lin Wenxuan's changes, and said softly: "I think today's exercise is here, I'm a little tired, I want to go home to rest and rest, you should go home quickly! Oh yes, I'll go to France next week, maybe I'll have to stay there for a while, if you can, will you accompany me to see an art exhibition in two days?"
"Okay, then we'll get in touch again. β
Lin Wenxuan also stopped the treadmill, nodded and agreed to Qu Mengnan's invitation.
The night was getting thicker, and seeing Qu Mengnan leave, Lin Wenxuan did not hurry towards the direction of home.
