Chapter Ninety-Seven: Love and Affection
Li Lin and Su Wan'er walked side by side on the streets of the capital county, attracting many people to turn around. However, most people's evaluation of the two is that a flower is inserted in cow dung.
Well, compared to Su Wan'er's appearance, Li Lin is indeed at the level of cow dung.
The place where the two met was not prosperous, but it was not far from Weiye Building and where Li Lin lived, and it belonged to the middle position.
As soon as she entered the store, Su Wan'er attracted a lot of people's side eyes, but when she saw Li Lin who appeared with her, a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes, it was obvious that this girl was already famous.
After the two sat down and ordered, Su Wan'er finally couldn't suppress her curiosity: "Say it." How can you be so good and one person can fight so many people? ”
Li Lin didn't react for a while, his expression was stunned at first, and then he laughed and said, "Hehe." I've practiced for a while before, so I know how to do some kung fu. ”
"Humph! Are you so showy, do you want to take the opportunity to seduce other little girls? Don't do that anymore. Su Wan'er pretended to be angry and said.
Li Lin knew that Su Wan'er was worried about her own safety, so she deliberately said this, so she said flatteringly: "How come, you see how many people next to me envy me." Don't worry, it won't be anymore. ”
Su Wan'er nodded slowly, and said with satisfaction: "It's about the same." ”
After a while, the food had already come up, and the two of them didn't have many dishes, a roast duck plus a meat and a vegetable, which was basically enough to eat.
Li Lin hadn't eaten much on the train, and he was already hungry. As soon as the food was served, it was immediately eaten. Su Wan'er eats more reservedly, and has always chewed slowly and unhurriedly.
"Eat slowly, and no one will rob you." Su Wan'er looked at Li Lin's gobbling up and said with some amusement.
Li Lin nodded with a smirk, but the movements on his mouth were still very fast, Su Wan'er didn't eat much, and in the end, the two of them still had a lot left, but Li Lin was very conscious, and swept up the rest of the meal. The two of them didn't eat for a long time, Su Wan'er is different from many girls, she doesn't like to go to the mall, watch movies and other activities, but like to walk quietly with Li Lin, which makes her feel very warm and beautiful.
At night in the capital, the sky was dark, and the stars seemed to be deliberately hidden, and there was nothing to be seen, except for a bright full moon hanging in the sky.
"It's about to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, I don't know how she's doing now, let's go back and ask Haitao." Looking at a full moon hanging in the deep sky, Li Lin couldn't help but feel a little stunned in his heart.
Su Wan'er seemed to feel the change in Li Lin's mood, and asked softly, "What's wrong?" ”
A smile squeezed out of Li Lin's face: "It's nothing." I just thought of some people and things from before. ”
Su Wan'er's heart moved, and a trace of loss in her expression flashed in the dark night, and she said softly: "Tell me about you and her." ”
Li Lin's heart sank when he heard this, and he stopped unconsciously, and said incredibly: "Wan'er, you know everything?" Su Wan'er never asked about his previous affairs, because Li Lin thought that Su Wan'er had never known about his past.
Seeing Li Lin's somewhat surprised and nervous look, Su Wan'er couldn't help but laugh: "Don't be nervous, I just want to know more about your past." It's no secret, I've known it for a long time. ”
"It must be He Kun and Qin Tian, these two boys, are talking too much." Li Lin slandered in his heart, but he wouldn't really be angry with his two brothers, because he didn't plan to hide it from Su Wan'er all the time, but if Su Wan'er didn't take the initiative to ask, he didn't feel the need to say it deliberately.
But no matter what, after these things are said, Su Wan'er will inevitably have some mustard in her heart. After all, there are some things that you can ignore when you don't know, but after you know it, no matter how magnanimous you are, you will inevitably feel a little uncomfortable.
Thinking of this, Li Lin couldn't help but ask seriously, "Wan'er, do you really want to know?" ”
Su Wan'er said with a hopeful look in her bright eyes: "En." Now that we're already together, I hope to be able to share everything about you. ”
"Okay. Let's talk as we go. Hearing this, Li Lin took Su Wan'er's immature little hand, turned around and walked forward, and then showed a look of reminiscence, and said slowly: "She is my college classmate, and we have been in a classroom since our freshman year, and we didn't start officially dating until the beginning of our sophomore year. In the past three years, the relationship between the two of us was very good, so when we graduated, the two of us came to Dujun together without hesitation. At the beginning, I was very happy, although the living conditions were very ordinary, but the freshness of just arriving in the big city still made us both feel that our daily life was very exciting, and that feeling of dependence on each other made our feelings have a qualitative change, not like love, but more like a kind of family affection. ”
When he said this, Li Lin kept a faint smile on his face, as if he was immersed in the happiness of the past. However, at this moment, the look on Li Lin's face suddenly darkened a lot, and he continued in a slightly hoarse voice: "Happiness is always short-lived, and this period of time only lasted a little more than half a year. After more than half a year, the novelty of just arriving in the big city is gone, and as the housing prices rise, the rent also rises a lot, and the life of the two of us has begun to become difficult, and the pressure on life has become more and more great. Maybe it's because of the pressure, and her temper is getting bigger, but I don't blame her, because it's all because I'm too cautious and too incompetent. ”
When he said this, the expression on Li Lin's face changed again, with a trace of pain and remorse, and even a slight tremor in his voice, and continued: "Our relationship has deteriorated like this, but none of us have thought about breaking up, even if the quarrel is red-faced, we haven't even mentioned it. But once, because of an accident, I couldn't go to work, and I was fired by the boss of the company for an excuse. So I found an opportunity to start my own business. When she found out, she wanted me to go back to work, but I eventually refused, she didn't know that I had been fired. Maybe I made her completely chill this time, she broke up with me for the first time. ”
Su Wan'er had been listening quietly, her pretty face was in a trance, and her eyes were a little scattered, as if she was recalling the scene at that time. She seemed to see a girl full of hope for the future, following her crush to a strange city. But as time passed, the girl became more and more disappointed day by day, and it was not until the last moment that the girl desperately proposed to break up.
Until this moment, Su Wan'er finally knew why he had been resisting when he indirectly confessed to Li Lin. If she hadn't learned from He Kun and Qin Tian later that Li Lin had talked about a girlfriend, she would have even doubted Li Lin's sexual orientation, after all, she was still confident in her attractiveness.
It turned out that he had never forgotten her who had broken up
Also, five years of affection, how can you forget it? Not to mention such a short period of time, I'm afraid I won't forget it for a lifetime, right?
If he hadn't given his first kiss, he might not have accepted himself at all, right?
Li Lin didn't know that Su Wan'er was being entangled in chaotic thoughts at the moment, and continued: "Actually, I know that she proposed to break up, on the one hand, because after I started my business, our lives will become more unstable and difficult, so that she can't see hope and is a little disheartened. But she also knows very well that if I encounter difficulties in the process of starting a business, maybe I will give up starting a business and find a stable job again for her sake. Even if the salary is not high, at least it is better to be stable. Although she had to borrow money for the rent many times, my salary was still our main source of income, so this job was very important to us. She probably didn't want to be my fetters and stop me from starting a business, and hoped that I could fight once without any worries, so she chose to break up. ”
Speaking of this, Li Lin's eyes couldn't help but redden, but at night, these details were hidden. He believes that Wang Xinling chose to leave him, not only because of the hardships of starting a business, which will make life more difficult, but also because she hopes that she will fight for the ideal of changing the world in her heart. Even if it doesn't work, at least it won't leave regrets in life.
"And do you still like her now?" Su Wan'er found that Li Lin didn't continue to speak, so she couldn't help but ask.
Su Wan'er's question was like a thunderbolt, pulling Li Lin back to reality from his memories, and replied in a daze: "I can't say I like her now, I should say it's more family affection."
Hearing Li Lin's answer, Su Wan'er didn't speak for a while, but Li Lin suddenly stopped, gently grabbed Su Wan'er's shoulders with both hands, stared at Su Wan'er with sincere eyes and said, "Wan'er, I hope you can promise me one thing." ”
Su Wan'er's bright eyes also looked at Li Lin, and her small mouth opened slightly and said, "Well, you can say it." ”
Li Lin looked apologetically at the lovely person who was close at hand, and said sincerely, "I'm sorry, Wan'er." I know it's unfair to you, but I want her to be okay so I can have peace of mind. So if she encounters any difficulties in the future, I hope you can allow me to help her as a good friend within the scope of my ability, okay? ”
Su Wan'er had already guessed in her heart when Li Lin just said it, but Rao was like this, and when she heard Li Lin say it herself, she still had a moment of loss in her heart. But at this time, looking at the pleading look in Li Lin's eyes, she really couldn't refuse, because she didn't dare to guarantee that if she refused, what would Li Lin do, would she leave her?
She didn't dare to bet!
Li Lin is the only man who has given her different feelings in the past 20 years, and he is also the first man to make her heart move. And after getting along with each other during this time, she is even more convinced that her choice is not wrong. Although among all the men she knows, Li Lin may not be the most capable, not the most handsome, and not the richest, but it is the one who makes her feel the most at ease and the most secure.
With a choice in her heart, Su Wan'er was no longer entangled, "Yes, yes, but you have to promise me a request." ”
"Well, what requirements?" When Li Lin heard that Su Wan'er agreed, his heart was immediately relieved.
"Don't help her secretly behind my back, you must let me know." Su Wan'er stared at Li Lin tightly and said.
"Okay, I promised." This condition is not difficult to achieve at all, Li Lin almost blurted out, then stared at Su Wan'er gratefully, and said seriously: "Thank you, Wan'er." ”
After saying this, Li Lin let go of the hands on Su Wan'er's shoulders and hugged the latter. Holding his slender waist with both hands, Li Lin suddenly felt a comfortable feeling of warmth, his body was close to the soft delicate body, and his chest was topped by a pair of round and towering twin peaks, which made him feel a little uneasy.
"Yikes! You scoundrel, who let you hug me? ”
"I let me hold it."
"You're bullying me"
"I'm going to be a bad guy tonight, hehe."
"Ah, you scoundrel, hold on"
“”
