CHAPTER XLIV

unemployment

The topic was so unpleasant - not only unpleasant, but even touched the bottom line, and both of them were silent for a while.

Ye Lin lowered his head, and the dim light made the expression on his face look more and more hazy and unclear.

Ling Xiao suddenly let go of his hand.

Ye Lin was stunned, almost a little nervously staring at her, it seemed that it was ...... I'm afraid that she will be angry all her life, and even he will hate it together. Or is it ...... It's useless to dislike him, and you can't solve this matter completely.

- Although Ling Xiao has been "flaunting" his bad temper, in fact, if he really wants to talk about it, he has hardly seen a little girl really angry and angry in the past nearly a year. But just now, the streamer that crossed her eyes was so sharp that it was almost terrifying.

Ye Lin was a little nervous and nervous, his eyes were firmly nailed to the little girl, and he didn't dare to stagger a mistake. Then he watched nervously as the little girl sat up and stretched out her hand, and then at last, leaned into his arms and embraced his waist.

This was the first time Ling Xiao took the initiative to hug him - of course, the embarrassing princess hug at the beginning must not be counted.

"Don't mind, you're different from them." The little girl's soft voice rarely seemed to have a taste of comfort and comfort. She has always been a little unscrupulous and willful when she speaks, but once she softens down at this time, she immediately carries a meaning that can almost be called gentleness. Just a short sentence inexplicably calms people's hearts at once.

Ye Lin hugged her and answered in a low voice.

He is actually not very old, and he will only be twenty-four years old after the New Year. After working for more than a year, I have matured a lot, but I am inevitably a little caught off guard when I encounter such a thing, not to mention ...... His father and brother still had the same attitude.

Ling Xiao quickly withdrew his hand, but did not retreat from his arms again, but just leaned sideways and leaned in his arms, and after a moment of silence, he sighed faintly:

"It's a pity -- it's a society governed by the rule of law today."

Ye Lin was startled and shouted at her in a deep voice, and there was a slight hint of "drink stop" in his tone: "Ling Xiao!" ”

He almost immediately understood the unfinished and implicit meaning behind Ling Xiao's exclamation: now is a society governed by the rule of law, and lynching cannot be abused, unlike her era and the rivers and lakes - happy and enmity, the road is uneven, and anyone can draw a knife to help.

"I know, don't worry," Ling Xiao patted him on the shoulder soothingly, sighed and shook his head, "Actually, strict laws are a good thing, but unfortunately things are not always as good as they should be. ”

Ye Lin hugged her tightly.

Fortunately, Ling Xiao has never been sad and complaining, he just sighed casually, and quickly put his mind back to the reality in front of him, raised his face and asked Ye Lin:

"That girl, what are your plans?"

can make Ye Lin call it a "big project", and the other party is obviously not an ordinary person. After being spoiled for a "good thing", I'm afraid it won't be so easy to die down.

"It was the Chinese New Year, so I gave her a holiday in advance and let her go home first. I have already told Shen Zhan that he will tell people to pay more attention to the security situation near her house. Ye Lin was obviously quite thoughtful and took precautions early in the morning. But after he finished speaking, he paused slightly, and frowned: "I will definitely not be able to stay in the company any longer, and after I leave, the eldest brother will definitely take over, and I am afraid that it will be ...... then."

Last night his eldest brother gloated with his father accusing him of his appearance, and he was not so quick to forget about his appearance.

Ling Xiao responded, thought about it and asked, "You are unemployed now, what are your plans?" ”

She paused as she spoke, as if she remembered something interesting, a pair of phoenix eyes curved slightly, and asked him with a smile: "It's nothing to be unemployed and run away from home - in the future, you can cook and take care of housework at home, and I will support you?" ”

"I cook when I'm not unemployed!" Ye Lin reached out and pinched her face, and said a painful truth angrily. Seeing that Ling Xiao's face was slightly pink and her fair complexion looked particularly attractive, the little girl was not angry at his movements, she still just looked at herself with a smile, knowing that she was joking to make herself happy, her heart was warm, her expression softened more and more, and she thought about it and said in a low voice:

"I have a friend who has been studying abroad for the past few years and now it's almost time to come back, and I plan to start a business with him. In fact, we have been in touch for the past few years, and the idea of starting a business is not new now, but it used to ...... I've always been a little hesitant. ”

Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows and touched his chin thoughtfully.

Ye Lin hugged her and leaned back, leaned all his weight on the sofa, and suddenly called her in a low voice: "Ling Xiao." ”

"Huh?"

"Actually, after running away from home last night, I suddenly felt very relaxed," Ye Lin suddenly laughed softly, his voice couldn't tell whether he was emotional or tired, and seemed to be a little relaxed and calm, "For so many years, I have never been so relaxed." ”

Ling Xiao was stunned, and raised his head suddenly-the man had a faint smile on his face, and his expression was complicated, as if he was both relaxed and confident, regretful and disappointed, mixed with a little pain and anger, but there was no resentment.

It's because the father and brother are angry and sad about the treatment of the innocent girl, but they are not resentful because of their attitude towards themselves.

Wanhua Valley is open-minded and free, and everyone is open and open, so she has developed her current willful and reckless character. If she is Ye Lin, can she still be as generous and gentle as he is now? Fear...... It can't be done.

Ling Xiao suddenly felt a little distressed.

She has always been a freewheeling and unscrupulous person, so - now that she is distressed, she does not hesitate to follow her thoughts, reach out and hook her boyfriend's neck, pull him down slightly to herself, and then ...... Tilted his face and kissed him on the forehead.

It's a gentle, heart-wrenching, soothing kiss.

Ye Lin's mind was blank for a moment, and he was stunned for a moment and forgot to react. By the time he finally came back to his senses after a long time, the little girl was already lazily lying on his lap and taking a quiet nap with her eyes closed.

There still seems to be the soft touch of her lips and the sweet fragrance of flowers on her forehead. Ye Lin reached out and touched his forehead, his face was almost imperceptibly red in the dim light, but a somewhat silly smile appeared on his face, while pulling the spare thin blanket on the sofa on the side to cover Ling Xiao, while gently patting her back, as if coaxing a child to sleep, and like smoothing a little fox.

The man lying on his lap was obviously very appreciative of his movements, squinting his eyes pleasantly, and soon fell asleep.

……

Although Ye Lin is unemployed and "ran away from home", fortunately, he also had a lot of savings in the past, and the apartment he lives in now is also in his own name, so he doesn't have to worry about being really homeless and having no source of income, and he can really only rely on Ling Xiao to support him.

On the last day of the Spring Festival holiday, Ye Lin went to the company to sort things out.

Ling Xiao was still on winter vacation and had nothing to do, so he went out with him, and the two held hands and went to the company. Ye Lin was tidying up in the office, Ling Xiao couldn't help, and he didn't make a mess for him, so he simply stood in the corridor by himself leaning on the door, looking at the surrounding environment while turning his bamboo flute casually.

When Ye Lin was halfway packed up and was about to come out to pour a glass of water to drink, Ling Xiao was leaning against the door and talking happily with a girl.

Ye Lin coughed lowly, and saw the two of them looking back at him together. Ling Xiao just raised her eyebrows and didn't speak, but the girl opposite her immediately nodded to him and said hello: "Mr. Ye." ”

Ye Lin nodded: "Why are you here?" ”

"I left early before the Chinese New Year, and I still have some odd work in my hands that I haven't done, so I want to take a look today." The girl smiled, with a slight gratitude on her face, "Thank you, Mr. Ye...... Give me early holidays. ”

Hearing this, Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly to look at Ye Lin, and sure enough, he got a positive nod from Ye Lin, knowing that this was probably the innocent girl who was affected, he raised his eyes and looked at her for a moment - she was an extremely beautiful girl, with willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, and her appearance was almost a little bewitching and very seductive, but her eyes were clear and her eyebrows were calm, and she was obviously a girl with a pure heart.

Her words were vague, but Ling Xiao and Ye Lin had no intention of breaking this kind of thing, and then let her be hurt repeatedly, so they kept silent at the moment, just smiled and shook their heads.

Ye Lin said hello, poured a glass of water, and quickly returned to his former office to continue to pack his things. Ling Xiao suddenly stopped the girl who was also planning to go back to work:

"Ye Lin is leaving, and then I'm afraid his eldest brother will take over as general manager. They are brothers - with different personalities. ”

The little girl in front of her was only sixteen or seventeen years old, but when she said this, not only did she not have the slightest sense of a child pretending to be an adult, but it made people inexplicably believe in her words, and suddenly became a little nervous.

"I'll advise you to continue to take leave, stay at home for a few more days, don't go out, in a few days-" she said, "Hmm", as if estimating something, and quickly continued, "In another week, and then come back to work when things are completely settled." But you are beautiful, and there may be two similar things, so be more careful in everything. ”

"But......" she obviously subconsciously believed Ling Xiao's words, but she was still a little hesitant, "How can it be completely solved?" ”

The other party is not an ordinary person, but she is just an ordinary little white-collar worker, if the other party really wants to do something, she will not be able to escape. Ye Lin can save her once, but it is impossible to save her every time, and he has no obligation at all, not to mention that Ye Lin is leaving now......

Ling Xiao suddenly laughed - she smiled very well, with flying phoenix eyes and slanted eyebrows into her sideburns, with a rare heroic spirit and casualness.

"If he suddenly becomes inhumane, then I'm afraid -- I won't have the heart to think about these things anymore." The little girl casually turned the bamboo flute in her hand, and the phoenix eyes were slightly raised, as if she was casually speaking.
