That night, Joan An's sleep was not restful, she woke up on and off, and in the interval between a few fragmented dreams, when she opened her eyes in a daze, she seemed to see someone standing by her bedside, and in the shadows, she saw the man's narrow-brimmed glasses......

It's Lin Jin.

As if he didn't know that she was slightly open, Lin Jin leaned over, raised his hand to cover her with the quilt, and tucked the corner of her back, in her trance, after doing this, he turned over and went back to his bed......

On the morning of the second day, it was only six o'clock when Qiao Anxin woke up, Lin Jin had already washed up, and when he saw her wake up, he said, "Good morning, peace of mind." ”

"Good morning." Qiao Anxin said, looking at his appearance, the picture of last night faintly flashed in his mind, but the chaotic mind could not tell everything last night, whether it was real or a dream, looking at Lin Jin's appearance as usual, she still didn't ask.

After getting up and washing, and changing clothes again, Lin Jin had already come back with breakfast, and saw Qiao Anxin and said: "There are not many types on the dining car, I remember you said that your stomach has not been very comfortable recently, so you bought some light, we estimate that there will be no time after we get off the car, and we will get noon when we eat again, you eat some first." ”

Qiao Anxin nodded: "Thank you." Senior, go directly to the author's house after getting off the bus or? ”

Lin Jin looked down at the time: "No, I booked a room next to the Los Angeles train station, and I went to wash up after getting off the train." ”

"Washing?"

Lin Jin coughed lightly and looked down at himself: "It's okay for you to rest assured, I have to take care of this body." Rest assured, soon, the time is in time. ”

Qiao Anxin looked at him, although his clothes were still neat and appropriate, but thinking of the very formal occasion he was going to, it didn't seem appropriate, she quickly nodded: "Okay, I was negligent, then we'll do it." ”

After the two finished eating, they were ready to get off the train, this early morning in Los Angeles was also covered by heavy snow, and the snow was still blowing all over the sky, as if endless, at this time, fortunately the train was only a short time late, after the two got off, Lin Jin took Qiao Anxin into the hotel, he also ordered a suite, naturally not the kind where Qin Yifeng often lives, but it is also very good, after entering the room, Qiao Anxin found that there are two bathrooms, and the two doors can be locked, Lin Jin asked her to choose one, Qiao Anxin went into the inner room.

Lin Jin was washing and changing clothes outside, Qiao Anxin was inside, looked at himself in the mirror, although he had already washed and his clothes had changed, but I don't know if it was her illusion, he always felt that he still had the smell of dust on his body, and after looking at the time, he also went into the bathroom and took a quick bath, washed out and thought about it and put on a light makeup, and when she went out, Lin Jin was ready to sit on the sofa and wait.

Qiao Anxin was stunned for a moment, "Senior, have you cleaned up for a long time?" Why didn't you knock on the door and call me? ”

Lin Jin looked at her, but he was stunned for a moment......

Qiao Anxin rarely wears makeup, usually she only paints thrushes and paints her lips to improve her complexion, although she completes a light makeup very quickly at this time, but it is also a full set of makeup, which is different from her usual beauty, and has some other flavors......

"Senior?"

Lin Jin came back to his senses, got up and said with a smile: "No, I see that you didn't come out, I guessed that you might be also washing, waiting for a lady is one of the cultivation of a gentleman, how can I urge you at this time." ”

Qiao Anxin smiled: "Then Mr. Gentleman, I'm sorry to keep you waiting, we can go now." ”

The two of them said and went out of the hotel again, the car was already waiting at the door, after getting in the car, Lin Jin and the driver said the route, and began to say some precautions to Qiao Anxin, Qiao Anxin listened carefully, and said again what he was going to communicate with the author, Lin Jin listened, occasionally added some pointers, and soon arrived at the place where Qiao Anxin made an appointment with the original author, Qiao Anxin and Lin Jin said goodbye and hurried in.

This is a strange shop, there are small cubicles inside, each cubicle is a person with a laptop, the sound of tapping the keyboard comes and goes, although the cubicle is small, but it does not make people feel depressed, until after meeting the author, Qiao Anxin knew that this shop was specially opened for people who write as a profession like him, and the people sitting outside are all people in this industry, he is not for profit, his original intention is just to make more like-minded friends.

Qiao Anxin's communication with the author was quite smooth, before she came, she thought that the author would be a little withdrawn or arrogant, and when she met, she realized that the other party was actually a person who was a little introverted and didn't talk much, and the reason for insisting on painting was more due to the slightly higher requirements for the restoration of the work, at this point, the purpose of the two can be said to be the same, so the exchange was smooth......

Qiao Anxin also chatted with him about some unplanned issues, and the two talked from morning to afternoon, until they were hungry, and then they realized that a long time had passed, so they simply went downstairs to eat together, and then continued to chat......

When Qiao Anxin left from here, her mind was almost another world of fairy gods and demons, and there were many pictures flying in her mind, grandiose and pathetic, weaving a cycle of love and hatred, she stood on the side of the road, holding an umbrella, snowflakes hit her face with the wind, the cold touch made her shake her head, she took out her mobile phone and looked at the address of the hotel that Lin Jin told her to stay at night, Lin Jin had something to do temporarily, he said that he was afraid that it would be late when he came, so that she could sit in the roadside shop and wait for him first, If she wants to go to the hotel first, she will take a taxi, Qiao Anxin thought about it, and sent him a message saying that she would go back to the hotel first, so she took a taxi.

This is not far from Lin Jinding's hotel, and soon she arrived at the place, and when she entered the hotel, she tentatively went to the front desk to explain the situation, but she didn't expect that Lin Jin's side had already contacted here, and Qiao Anxin was led out of the room as soon as he reported his name.

Entering the room, the first thing Qiao Anxin did was to turn on the computer, and sorted out today's communication with the author and further understanding of the work, on the one hand, this return is to form a report, on the other hand, she is also for herself to digest these gains better and deeper.

It wasn't until the report was written that it was almost eight o'clock that Lin Jin's phone called, saying that he had done almost everything there today, and was going to the hotel, asking her if she had eaten, Qiao Anxin paused, only said that she had eaten late for lunch, and she was not hungry now, so Lin Jin said that she would have the food delivered to her room and let her eat on time. Not long after hanging up the phone, sure enough, a service staff knocked on the door, saying that the meal ordered in her room had arrived......

Looking at the food on the table, Qiao Anxin picked up the chopsticks and didn't move for a long time......

She...... Isn't it......

...... should you eat a nutritious meal

If that person is here, if it is in Night City, Qin Yifeng must be asking her to eat nutritious meals in strict accordance with the regulations......

These flashed in my mind, and the chopsticks in my hand couldn't move.

She finally put down her chopsticks, picked up her mobile phone, and dialed Qin Yifeng's number......

The phone was picked up after two rings......

"Hey ......"

But it is......

Woman's voice.

"Little Joe?" The man on the other end continued.

Yes, Anna's voice......

Qiao was relieved and said, "Anna, why did you answer the call, Qin ...... What about Qin Yifeng? ”

"It's nothing, he just dropped his phone, if you have something to call him later, I'll send it to him right away." Through the phone, Anna's voice was as good as ever, nice and gentle.

"Hmm...... Okay, then I'll fight later. Qiao Anxin said.

The phone hung up, she held the phone, and when she looked at the food on the table, she lost her appetite.

There was a knock on the door, and she suddenly came back to her senses, put down her phone and went to open the door......

"Peace of mind......

The door opened, and the smell of alcohol could not be concealed before the sound came in.

Lin Jin stood outside the door, looking at her with a smile, he had a blazer hanging between his arms, just looking at his face, there was no alcohol, but there was a slight drunkenness in his eyes behind the lenses.

Qiao Anxin was stunned for a moment, and turned sideways, "Senior, have you drunk?" ”

"Well, socializing is always indispensable." With that, he entered the door and looked at the food on the table, "Haven't eaten yet?" ”

"Hmm...... Just, just about to eat. ”

"Meals must be eaten on time, and if you have a bad stomach, you must be on time."

"Well, I see, senior," Qiao Anxin smiled, "but you, who smell so heavily and don't see drunkenness, didn't know you were so good at drinking." ”

"Peace of mind......

"Huh?"

Lin Jin paused, turned around, and said, "Peace of mind...... There's a lot more you don't know. Do you want to know? ”

Maybe it was the sudden strangeness in his eyes, or the faint wrongness in his voice, in the smell of wine, Qiao Anxin unconsciously took a step back.
