Mr. Lin sighed slightly, his eyes staring at me calmly, "So if you really want to thank Lin Xiangtian, not me." ”

By the time I finished the dinner with Mr. Lin, it was already completely dark.

It was still Qin Han's assistant who came to pick me up, not Qin Han himself.

But at this time, I didn't have the strength to think about where he went, and all I was thinking about was what Mr. Lin told me about Lin Xiangtian just now.

I know that Lin Xiangtian must have paid some kind of price, in exchange for my cooperation with Mr. Lin, but I never knew what this price was.

Now it seems that it was indeed me who harmed Lin Xiangtian.

On the surface, it was indeed Mr. Lin who helped Lin Xiangtian, he helped Lin Xiangtian's company continue to operate, and helped him solve the financial crisis he was facing.

But in fact, he also invisibly deprived Lin Xiangtian of the company.

Because I have known Lin Xiangtian since college, I have always known that he is a person with high self-esteem.

This time, if it wasn't for the last resort, if it wasn't for helping me, he would definitely say that he wouldn't let Mr. Lin help him.

It is not even an exaggeration to say that he sacrificed his entire company for my sake.

The messy thoughts condensed in my heart, and I couldn't unravel them.

"I didn't expect it...... I would have done so much wrong. Before I knew it, I was muttering, and I caught a glimpse of the assistant driving the car sneaking a glance at me.

I looked at the way he wanted to talk to me, but he didn't dare to say it, I just thought it was funny, so I took the initiative to turn my head and ask him, "Why do you want to stop talking, is there anything you want to say to me?" ”

"It's nothing, I just feel that Miss Chen doesn't seem to be in a good mood after eating tonight."

"You're not mistaken." I nodded to him unabashedly, "It's because of something on my mind, that's why it's like this." ”

"If Miss Chen says that she has something on her mind, she must talk to the corresponding person."

The assistant began to enlighten me, but suddenly his face changed, and he looked at me in disbelief, "Miss Chen, the person you are talking about is the president!" ”

"No, it's not Qin Han." I hurriedly shook my head and denied it, for fear that the assistant would misunderstand something, "It has nothing to do with Qin Han." ”

"I haven't seen Qin Han for a few days in a row, how could he provoke me?"

"In that case, that's ......"

The assistant was even more curious than I imagined, and after knowing that it was not Qin Han, he continued to ask me.

"It's just a friend, you don't have to care so much."

I shook my head, and I didn't plan to tell him about Lin Xiangtian.

When I got home, the room was dark, and when I turned on the light, everything was still the same as when I left, and there was no sign of movement.

Qin Han, I'm afraid he won't come back today.

This made me suddenly a little flustered, will Qin Han not come back to this place from now on, only I live alone, and no one else will patronize it.

When I think about this, I feel uncomfortable, but I don't know what way to bring back someone who has already left.

No matter what others say, I know it in my own heart.

Nothing happened between me and Qin Han, so how could I keep him.

As long as Qin Han wants to leave, I have almost no room to stay.

After a long sigh, I nestled in the warm sofa, my fingers rummaging through my phone until I stopped at Lin Xiangtian's name.

Thinking about what Mr. Lin said to me tonight, and my attitude towards him before, maybe I really went too far.

"Give him a call and ask him to meet."

I told myself so, forcing myself to finally press the communication button on my phone.

As usual, the mobile phone only rang two or three times, and then it was connected, and Lin Xiangtian's calm voice came from the other side, "Hey, Xiaoci, is there anything wrong with you?" ”

This calm voice made me dazed for a moment, as if he was not affected by what I was saying at all.

But whether it was affected or not, when I saw Lin Xiangtian's expression that day, I knew better than anyone else.

Lin Xiangtian saw that I was silent for a long time, and he thought that something had happened to me again, and his tone couldn't help but become urgent.

"Xiaoci, what's wrong with you, are you talking? Is there something wrong, if there is anything, tell me quickly, I'll go over right now! ”

"No, no need, Lin Xiangtian." Listening to his eagerness, if I don't open my mouth again, I'm afraid he will hang up the phone immediately, "I don't have anything to do, I just want to call you"

"It's okay." On the other side of the phone, Lin Xiangtian's voice was obviously much more relaxed, and then he continued to ask me, "Then you called, is there anything wrong?" ”

"Lin Xiangtian, I ......"

I was going to ask Lin Xiangtian if what he did was true, as Mr. Lin said.

But at the same time, I also remembered what Mr. Lin told me before leaving.

Mr. Lin told me that he didn't want me to discuss this matter with Lin Xiangtian, because Lin Xiangtian didn't plan to tell me, and he didn't want Lin Xiangtian to know, it was he who told me.

"What's wrong with you?" Lin Xiangtian saw that I didn't answer for a long time, so he continued to ask.

"It's really nothing." I shook my head helplessly at Lin Xiangtian over the phone, "I just want to apologize to you, what I said yesterday was too heavy, and it was indeed my mistake." ”

"Xiao Ci, you said such heavy things to me, is it over just an apology?"

Lin Xiangtian on the other end of the phone was slightly silent at first, and then suddenly laughed and teased me.

"If you want to apologize to me, it's not as simple as saying sorry."

"And what do you want?" The call wasn't as dull as I thought it would be, so it also made me laugh, "Tell me, what do you want to do?" ”

"Why don't you do this, I'll treat you to a meal, even if the grievances between the two of us are written off?"

Without waiting for Lin Xiangtian to answer, I immediately gave a solution.

"Is it as simple as just treating me to a meal?"

Lin Xiangtian continued to ask me, but I could hear that he was joking.

"Lin Xiangtian, it's almost there, if you don't eat, I'll have to go by myself tomorrow."

"I've recently dug up a few great Japanese restaurants, and if you don't go, you'll find it a pity."

"Of course you can invite me to dinner, I agree to this." Lin Xiangtian finally agreed to me, but suddenly the words changed again, "It's just ......"

"Just what?" His words made me nervous, afraid that he would say something that I could not do.

Obviously, Lin Xiangtian sensed my nervousness and suddenly laughed on the other side of the phone.

"Don't worry, when did I ask you too much? As long as you don't want to, I certainly won't force you. ”

"Then tell me quickly, what do you want to do?"

"Japanese restaurant, we can go again next time." Lin Xiangtian paused and continued to speak, "This time, I want to eat the food you cooked with your own hands." ”

On the other end of the phone, after Lin Xiangtian said that he wanted to eat the food I cooked, I didn't speak for a long time.

Not because I didn't want to talk to him, but because I didn't know whether I should say yes or not.

Most of the time, when I go out to eat, Lin Xiangtian comes to me, not to mention that I cook for him, I have never thought about it before.

But now, Lin Xiangtian suddenly mentioned it to me, so I had to face it.

"What's wrong with Xiao Ci, why did you suddenly stop talking?"

After telling me that he wanted to eat the food I cooked, Lin Xiangtian originally had a low laugh, but it can be seen that I didn't speak for a long time, and his laughter gradually disappeared, and his tone began to become serious.

"Xiao Ci, did what I said make you embarrassed?" Lin Xiangtian suddenly asked me softly, obviously with a sense of loss in his tone.

"No, no, nothing." I hurriedly shook my head and denied it, just to eliminate the loss in Lin Xiangtian's heart, "Then it's settled, I can cook for you with my own hands." ”

"You don't have to be reluctant, if it really bothers you, you can refuse me."

Lin Xiangtian's tone was flat, and it seemed that he really didn't care at all as he said. But I can be in his flat tone. A hint of sadness is perceived.

"Lin Xiangtian, don't think about it, I'm not very embarrassed, I just feel a little curious."

"Curious?" Lin Xiangtian obviously couldn't understand what curiosity I was talking about, "I just want to eat the food you cooked, what's so curious?" ”

"I'm a pretty average cooker, and why do you suddenly want to eat what I cook?"

"Actually, I've always hoped that Xiao Ci could cook a meal for me by himself, but you don't know it, since you gave me this opportunity, how can I refuse?"

Lin Xiangtian's answer was concise and clear, this was not a whim, it was deliberate.

"In this way, I can't say yes this time." I also chuckled at Lin Xiangtian, trying to dispel the doubts in his heart, "Then set a time, you come to my house, and I will make it for you." ”

"It's too late tonight, it's inconvenient for me to go over, why don't you go tomorrow night?" Lin Xiangtian told me the time without thinking, obviously he couldn't wait for this meeting.

"...... tomorrow night"

I thought about it carefully, Qin Han probably won't come back tonight, maybe he won't come back tomorrow.

And when Qin Han was away, it was the right choice to let Lin Xiangtian come over.

"In that case, then you can come over tomorrow night, I'll wait for you at home."

With the certainty that the two may not meet, tomorrow night is indeed the best time.

I thought that Lin Xiangtian would agree in one go, but who knew that he suddenly denied it to me, "No, there is no need to be so troublesome." ”

"And what do you want?"

"Tomorrow after you get off work, I'll pick you up and go home with you."

I still clearly remember that I had refused Lin Xiangtian's request before, and I never asked him to pick me up and drop me off from work.
