Chapter 6: Ouyang Lin's Past

It was already completely dark outside.

It was already deep winter, and it was already dark around five o'clock in the evening, Zhang Qi glanced at Ouyang Lin, who was following behind, and his face was red for some reason, and raised his eyebrows in surprise.

He was dressed in a thin outfit, with white long sleeves inside, a black trench coat on the outside, a pair of navy blue jeans underneath, and a pair of sneakers at the bottom.

Ouyang Lin felt cold when she looked at Zhang Qi's dress, took a breath of cool air, and couldn't help but shiver.

"It's not cold for you to wear so little." Looking Zhang Qi up and down, Ouyang Lin asked softly.

"It's okay, I'm from the north, so I was born to be freezing, no matter how cold Zhongshan is, it's Jiangnan Province, and it's acceptable." Zhang Qi shook his head.

"Where is it in the north? I've always wanted to go to Dalian, but I went to work after graduation, and I never had time to go out to play. Hearing that Zhang Qi was from the north, Ouyang Lin was a little interested.

Zhang Qi was stunned for a moment, pursed his lips and didn't say a word.

He is indeed a northerner, but unfortunately in the northwest, compared to the prosperous Dalian, the place where he lives is simply like a primeval forest.

However, he has also been to Dalian twice, but each time he is on a mission, and he has no time to enjoy the local scenery in a hurry.

"Dalian is not bad, there is an aquarium, it seems to be the largest in China, but I have never had the opportunity to go." After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Qi chuckled and said.

"If we have a chance, let's go together, let's go eat first, there is a dumpling restaurant on North Street that tastes good." Ouyang Lin said casually, and took two quick steps to lead the way in front.

Zhang Qi didn't take this sentence seriously, Ouyang Lin looked like an ordinary female white-collar worker, and her intersection with her was limited to Sun Mangong renting her house.

If it weren't for Yin Hua, Zhang Qi would never have known that there was such a woman in Lu Dao until he died.

The dumpling restaurant on North Street is not big, just a two-meter square façade, but the decoration is not bad, with red lanterns standing on both sides, which is quite close to the meaning of the root of the year.

Pushing open the glass door, the two of them obviously felt a heat wave coming, Ouyang Lin let out a long breath, and then found a position by the window and sat down.

In winter, she either eats hot pot or dumplings, and these two things are appetizing for her.

"This dumpling is very delicious, I used to eat here without anything, and I have been open for five or six years." Ouyang Lin introduced with a smile, Zhang Qi nodded, and took the menu from the waiter.

"You've eaten so many times, come and have some of them, I can eat anything." Zhang Qi glanced at the dumplings with various fillings on the menu and pushed the menu to Ouyang Lin.

"Half a catty of pork fennel, half a catty of pork and green onions, three taels of beef carrots, and two bowls of chaos." Ouyang Lin was not polite, took the menu and ordered a few dishes with ease, and then handed the menu to the waiter.

"You can't eat that much." Zhang Qi pursed his lips and said.

"If you can't eat it, take it away......"

The difference between a woman and a girl is manifested in the ability to think independently on the one hand, and the distinct and independent personality on the other.

If Qin Wu'er or Xu Jie and Zhang Qi eat, the matter of ordering food will definitely be handed over to Zhang Qi, but it is obviously not so troublesome to be with Ouyang Lin.

A woman who can survive in society is definitely a few cuts above those girls in her ability to take care of herself and be self-reliant.

The two of them chatted while waiting for the food to be served, Ouyang Lin seemed to be a little curious about Zhang Qi's identity, and asked a few words on the side, but Zhang Qi was very clever to transfer the past, but he said a lot of news.

From life to work, from work to feelings, when the dumplings were served, Ouyang Lin was still chattering.

In fact, a girl lives in Zhongshan by herself, although the pressure of life is not great, and the pace is not fast, but that kind of loneliness is really difficult for her to stand up.

Not only is he a single figure in human form, Ouyang Lin doesn't even have someone to talk to.

Zhang Qi listened with a smile all the time, giving some innocuous comments from time to time, and he could be regarded as a qualified listener, but he took a look at Ouyang Lin's personality.

Ouyang Lin could have gone to a bigger city to develop, but at the beginning, because her boyfriend stayed in Zhongshan, the two began to fall in love from college, four years of ups and downs, and it was originally time to get married, but she found that her boyfriend hooked up with her best friend.

The two of them finally walked towards the palace of marriage, and when the invitation was delivered to Ouyang Lin, the woman who had been enduring the pain in her heart and lived a strong life finally cried, and no one cared about her heart in the vast night, and she never heard a trace of comfort.

She still participated in the wedding of her boyfriend and best friend, and her indifferent smile didn't seem to see the ridicule or surprise eyes behind her, until she got home, lying on the bed and covering the quilt and crying for the second time.

Zhang Qi listened quietly, he could feel how much sadness this girl had in her heart, and how much sadness and scars were hidden under her gentle smile.

"Alas......"

While listening to it, grinning, Zhang Qi rarely heard this kind of bloody and painful story, generally this kind of vulgar plot seems to only appear in TV series, but when it really appears in life, it is so silent.

"Do you know what is the most hateful thing about the Dao?" Ouyang Lin frowned, took a sip of water to moisten his throat and continued.

The dumplings on the table had already been eaten, and the two of them ordered another peanut and a steamed dumpling.

"After he got married, he actually sent me a message, saying that he actually liked me, and he married my best friend, just to see if I really cared about him." Ouyang Lin's eyes widened, and his face was a little red with anger.

Zhang Qi couldn't help but be happy, and labeled Ouyang Lin's ex-boyfriend as 'funny' in his heart.

"He said he was disappointed because I wasn't sad that he was married, and said he wished I could give him my most precious things." Ouyang Lin said that this was a little unbearable.

Although she has a good impression of Zhang Qi, she really said too much today, and unconsciously told the secret that had been hidden in her heart for so many years, and even forgot whether Zhang Qi would laugh at herself in her heart.

Glancing at Zhang Qi with some embarrassment, Ouyang Lin found that the other party's eyes were still clear and deep, without the slightest disdain, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then his gaze became a little complicated.

It's been so many years, but I still haven't been able to let go, when will I meet the next other half, and is that person really the right person?

"Don't think too much, there are people in the world who are so big, it's just that they were too young." Zhang Qi sighed and comforted softly.

Ouyang Lin took a deep breath to restrain his emotions, and his eyes, which were originally a little red, also returned to normal, it was not worth shedding tears for such a bastard, not to mention that it had already dried up.

"Have you eaten enough? Enough for us to have more? Ouyang Lin looked at the food and asked softly with a grateful smile.

She thanked Zhang Qi for listening to her so much and inviting a meal, but it made her worry a lot.

"Do you have any other boyfriends to talk to? If you don't have one, don't order it. Zhang Qi smiled and made a painless joke at Ouyang Lin.

"I hate it, what so many boyfriends." Ouyang Lin glanced at Zhang Qi, and then snorted lightly.

"Waiter, pay the bill." After greeting the waiter, Ouyang Lin bought the order, then put on a down jacket and stood up, and Zhang Qi also got up.

"Where are you going in a moment?" Ouyang Lin looked at Zhang Qi and asked with a hesitation.

Zhang Qi rented a house, and there must be no place to live if the house was smashed during this time, Ouyang Lin originally thought that Zhang Qi was doing it on his own, but after half a day of contact, he found that this guy in front of him was quite good.

With some reluctance in his heart not to go these days and ignore it, Ouyang Lin bit his lower lip and glanced at Zhang Qi with some obscurity.

"Let's find a hotel to stay in, and leave the things at a friend's house." Zhang Qi thought for a while and said.

Although Xu Jie gave him the key, after all, it was someone else's house, Zhang Qi felt uncomfortable on the one hand, and on the other hand, he didn't want to leave any trouble for Xu Jie.

After all, his identity is too special, once someone wants to do something, they can still find Xu Jie and Xu Ke.

"It's so inconvenient to stay in a hotel, and I can't wash my clothes or anything." Ouyang Lin frowned, as if she understood why Zhang Qi was wearing such thin.

The co-authorship is because there is no place to wash clothes, so I simply wear less.

"Some hotels can do laundry, you don't have to worry." Zhang Qi smiled and shook his head.

Ouyang Lin bit her lower lip, her beautiful eyes rolled slightly, she coughed lightly, and her gaze drifted a little.

"Aren't we going to look at the furniture together tomorrow...... Why don't you stay with me tonight? Two bedrooms and one room with one room empty. Ouyang Lin asked tentatively, but his eyes were inexplicably a little expectant.

Even she didn't know why she wanted Zhang Qi to live in her house, biting her lower lip, Ouyang Lin put her hand in her pocket, looking at Zhang Qi frowning and not speaking, she couldn't help but feel a trace of loss between her eyebrows.

I am indeed too abrupt, the two of them have only met three times today, although they can chat, but after all, the contact is too short and they don't know the details of the other party, and it is reasonable for Zhang Qi to refuse.

Smiled indifferently, Ouyang Lin was just about to speak, but suddenly saw the figure of a woman at the door, and her face, which was still a little crimson, instantly turned pale.

The woman seemed to see her too, and walked over with a smile, one hand lightly crossed her waist, glanced at Zhang Qi, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but have a mocking smile.

"Yo, has Linlin found a new boyfriend?"
