Chapter 196: Understanding Men

She was stunned, "If the senior refers to painting, the senior is welcome to give advice." ”

Lin Jin's eyes flashed slightly, and he was silent, "It's not early, you eat first." ”

He said this, and had no intention of going out, and sat down across the table, Qiao An'an paused slightly, and walked over.

"Senior, I've almost sorted out today's report, do you want to show it to you now?"

Lin Jin nodded: "It's okay." ”

Qiao Anxin quietly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, she took the notebook over, showed him the report she had just written, poured water for him, and then sat down opposite him.

Lin Jin's gaze fell on the computer screen, his gaze moved slightly with the text, and Qiao An's gaze finally moved down, and he picked up the chopsticks to eat again.

The phone was right next to her, and it didn't ring again......

Perhaps, Anna has not been to him yet, and when the phone is in his hands, he may ...... Call her back......

The mouth instinctively makes chewing movements, and the brain is cranky......

"Peace of mind...... Lin Jin suddenly spoke.

She paused with her chopsticks, "Well, senior, what's wrong?" ”

Is there anything wrong with her report?

Lin Jin looked at her appearance and couldn't help but soften his expression: "Why is that expression, rest assured, the report is no problem, on the contrary, I think it is very good, peace of mind, I am very glad that I have recruited you now." ”

Hearing him say this, Qiao Anxin couldn't help but smile, "Senior, although I am very happy that you praise me, but you praise me like this, I am still afraid that I will be proud." ”

"Pride is pride, peace of mind, you have the capital of pride." He raised his hand to hold his glasses, "Peace of mind, in fact, to be honest, I hesitated when I first got your resume, not that I didn't want to recruit you, but we need you to get started right away for this task, looking at your resume, it seems that I haven't been engaged in painting-related majors in the past two years, so I hesitated." Rest assured, looking at this, was your resume incomplete at that time? ”

Did he mean, or was he praising her?

After a slight reaction, Qiao Anxin understood what he meant, and shook his head: "No, there are only occasional paintings, and those who really like it are not willing to put it down, but they don't have the opportunity to enter this industry." ”

Lin Jin paused, "Peace of mind...... You, these two years, aren't you...... It's not a good time. ”

Qiao Anxin was stunned.

Mixed with the smell of wine and rice, his words slowly entered his ears.

"I didn't ...... OK. ”

The words fell, and she continued.

"Peace of mind, you're still ...... Separated from me. ”

Qiao Anxin looked up and saw Lin Jin's eyes behind the lenses, and there was a touch of injury under his eyes.

She paused, and ......

Between her and Lin Jin, it seems that the word is ...... It's not appropriate.

When she was in college, she had a crush on him, and at that time, her relationship with him, all the closeness, was mostly maintained by her alone, and now ...... The initial throbbing of youth is gone, and what is left between them is the normal relationship between alumni or classmates......

Thinking so, she spoke: "No, senior, I still regard you as a friend." ”

"Friend!" His voice suddenly rose a little higher, and when Qiao Anxin looked up at him, Shengsheng didn't say any more, only said, "Friend...... It's okay too. Also, you and Zhou Ranran are good girlfriends, I can't be greedy and let you treat me like her. ”

With a smile on his eyebrows, he seemed to have returned to his original gentle appearance.

The atmosphere eased as usual, and Qiao An'an was relieved, "Senior, if you go to Thailand, maybe you will have a chance to achieve the same status as Ranran." ”

"Peace of mind, am I your senior, or your direct leader, you hurt me so much, aren't you afraid that I will wear small shoes for you?"

"No, I don't have big feet."

The two went back and forth, and the atmosphere was as usual.

After Qiao An'an finished eating, a staff member came to clean up the dishes, and she was getting up and closing the door to see the staff away, when the vibration of the mobile phone came......

She turned around suddenly, ran to the sofa in three steps and two steps to pick up the phone, because she was in a hurry, she didn't notice her feet, her leg touched the corner of the table, she didn't care about the pain, she grabbed the phone with one hand......

The phone is still vibrating.

Just the numbers shown......

Not what she wanted to see.

A number starting with an area code, below which it was shown that the number had been flagged as a nuisance call by one hundred and eighteen people, she pressed the mute and put the phone back on the couch.

"Peace of mind, are you alright?" Lin Jin frowned slightly, and his gaze fell on the leg she had just hit.

Through the clothes, he couldn't see anything, but the pain in his leg couldn't be ignored, Qiao An's face turned pale, and he shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's okay senior." ”

With that, she sat back down on the couch.

"Don't worry, don't be reckless," Lin Jin said, "Your face is pale, the hotel has ointment or something, I'll get it for you later." ”

"No, no," Qiao Anxin said, "it's okay, don't bother." ”

Lin Jin frowned: "When I was in a meeting before, you said that you had something to do in the past two days, so you couldn't come to Los Angeles." Isn't it...... Didn't handle it well? ”

Qiao Anxin was stunned for a moment, and saw his gaze move slightly, falling on the mobile phone beside her, and understood what he meant......

He looked at himself before answering the phone......

Yes, why did Fang Cai suddenly forget that Lin Jin was there?

She moved her wrist and held her phone in her hand......

The mobile phone without harassing calls has returned to the appearance of a cold and quiet machine, and his mind is chaotic for a moment, and his mind is full of the appearance of that person for a moment......

"Peace of mind?" Lin Jinsheng looked at her with a little worry.

"It's okay...... she shook her head, "The previous ones have been dealt with, senior, you don't have to worry, this is ...... It's just a private matter. ”

Lin Jin didn't answer, paused, made up his mind, and said, "Don't worry, I actually inquired about your affairs and your family's affairs after I came back from abroad...... I vaguely heard something, and I knew that my uncle ...... I finally know the reason why you suddenly quit school two years ago, and I want to find you when I come back, but my former classmates don't know your movements, I thought at the time, I thought you weren't in Night City, until Ran Ran contacted the company and recommended you to us......"

Every time he said a word, Qiao Anxin's heart sank.

"You don't know, when I saw you, I ......," he paused, as if considering the wording, and said, "At that time, I was even happier than I imagined. Peace...... What about you? ”

Qiao An'an's eyes paused slightly, "Senior, I'm also very happy to see you again......"

A glimmer of light flickered in Lin Jin's eyes, but in the next second, the light faded as Qiao Anxin continued......

"After all, it's better to be under your hands than to be under strangers, and besides, the senior's ability has always been obvious to all." She smiled, her voice faint, and her tone unconsciously alienated.

Feeling this alienation, Lin Jin's eyes flashed with emotion.

Neither of them spoke, waiting for the mood to calm down again.

"You, do you have someone you like?" Lin Jin said softly.

Qiao Anxin paused, the hand holding the phone tightened, and the pain in her leg came one after another, making her voice tremble, and she spoke, "Well, there is." ”

"Just now, you were waiting for his call?" He continued.

Qiao Anxin pursed his lips: "Yes." ”

After saying this, there was a long silence.

After a while, Lin Jin said: "Peace of mind, I know you understand what I mean, but you have to understand, I also understand what you mean." So, you don't have to worry about what will happen to me, from today on, from now on, I will still be your senior, your main writer, and only your senior, your main writer, if you are willing to treat me as a friend, it is great, if you don't want to, I will gladly accept it, just hope ...... Don't break up with me in the future, our relationship ends here, but it doesn't mean that time will stop, right? ”

He was already gentle and handsome, and when he said this, with some ease and regret, but there was nothing disgusting, Qiao Anxin couldn't help but nodded: "Well, senior." ”

This voice fell, and Lin Jin got up: "It's not too early, I should go back too." ”

Qiao Anxin got up and sent him to the door, and when he went out, Lin Jin suddenly turned around, his movements were too sudden, Qiao Anxin almost hit his chest, and she could hold her feet......

"Peace of mind......

She looked up at him and waited for him to continue.

"If you have any grievances, you can tell me," he stared at her, "even if I can't help the others, I can help you analyze and solve them." ”

Qiao Anxin nodded, he turned around, and the moment he went out, Qiao Anxin heard him say, "Don't forget, it's still men who know men best." ”

A heartbeat.

The door closes.

Joe Anxin lowered his head and his gaze fell on the phone with a black screen.

Outside the door, Lin Jin looked at the closed door, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked.
