Chapter 13: The Gift of Tanabata Festival
Lin Xi had never seen Qinyu like this.
The two were childhood sweethearts, in her memory, the grandfather of the Qin family had a lot of achievements, and Qin Yu's father started a business in his early years and once monopolized the market. Not to mention Qin Yu's own achievements, he has long surpassed his peers. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the pride of heaven.
From childhood to adulthood, only others begged for Qinyu's share, and there was no time for Qinyu to ask for help.
And his current tone was almost pleading, and at the same time Lin Xi was shocked, his heart swelled with sourness.
There is indeed a big rift between her and Qin Yu, and she doesn't want to see Qin Yu like this. As proud as he was, when he was punished by the Qin family's grandfather to kneel, and when the rattan was drawn on his back, he never lowered his head.
"Qin-" Lin Xi's lips squirmed a few times, his throat seemed to be choked, and it seemed like he had returned to seven years ago, and when facing him, he couldn't say a complete sentence, so he could only stumble and piece it together, "You, you get up and speak first." ”
But the man was unmoved, she held his chest with her hand, and she couldn't push it at all. Through the thin layer of fabric of his shirt, she could even feel his powerful heartbeat.
He stared at her in silence, from looking down to keeping eye level with her.
Lin Xi suddenly had a voice in his heart, beating repeatedly, Qin Yu really cared about her going.
Thinking of this, she looked away in a panic, and curled up the tips of her fingers holding him, "I'll go back to my uncle's side, it's a little urgent." ”
"So how many years is this time?"
He didn't believe her words.
"......" Lin Xi tugged at the corners of his mouth, and this time his voice was more helpless: "Uncle recently had a minor operation, I'll go over to see him." By the way, take back the previous things. ”
"Really, that's all."
Lin Xi disdained to lie about this kind of thing, it was completely unnecessary.
She comes and goes freely, and no one can trap her. If she really didn't plan to come back, she wouldn't hide it.
"What about the third brother, do you want to go on a business trip?" She said in a playful tone, trying to break the oppressive atmosphere: "It can't be that you're here to 'catch' me, right?" ”
Qin Yu avoided answering her question, and his dark eyes narrowed, as if he was confirming something. stared at her eyes for a long time before letting go of her shoulders and straightening up slightly: "When will you come back?" ”
In other words, Lin Xi at this time definitely didn't have a good temper and wouldn't answer obediently. But the scene just now lingered in my mind.
"It depends."
She didn't buy a return ticket because she wasn't sure when she would return.
"If it's fast, it should be three or four days?"
"Why do you bring so much luggage since it's not been long?"
On the way here, Qin Yu saw the surveillance video sent by Cheng Si. In the video, Lin Xi is carrying a 26-inch suitcase that she used when she returned to China, not like she came back in three or four days.
Does this still need to be reported? She looked at him and stopped, and could tell that she really wanted to scold him.
"I don't really need to bring any personal belongings. It was my uncle who asked me to bring some things that were not easy to buy there, and I brought them along the way. ”
"What else does the third brother want to ask?" Give it a good time.
Observing the impatience between her eyebrows, Qin Yu changed the topic at the right time, "Do you have to resign?" ”
This time, Lin Xi didn't argue, and nodded generously, "According to the contract, I will pay the liquidated damages on time." The third brother doesn't have to worry about this. ”
If she talks about it, then she has to make it clear to him.
"Although it may not be good to say this, I still hope that the third brother will know. If I had known that Feiyun had something to do with you at the beginning, I would never have anything to do with Feiyun. ”
As soon as her words fell, the face of the man opposite changed slightly, and the rain was about to come.
The emotion in his eyes was captured by Lin Xi, she sighed, put down the pillow on her lap, and stood up.
Her net height is 1.72 meters, and she stepped on a pair of five-centimeter high heels, standing in front of him without fear, more confident than when she was sitting.
"I don't want to survive under your wing."
"There is no need to persuade you to resign. When I come back, I will officially go through the resignation procedures. I have my own plans for the future. The third brother should not interfere. ”
——
Qin Yu is a smart person, no matter how subtle she says, he can still hear the hidden meaning of her words.
Lin Xi was the first passenger to board the plane, and he was in the first class by the window. After adjusting her chair, she put on her blindfold and earplugs and began to rest.
I haven't had a good rest for two days, and drowsiness soon hit. In the dimness, she could feel someone sitting next to her.
Lin Xi subconsciously turned his head sideways to face out of the window, and fell asleep completely not long after.
After a more than ten-hour flight from Beijing to New York, Lin Xi was woken up hungry halfway through.
Taking off the earplugs and blindfolds on both sides, she straightened up and was about to call a flight attendant, but she inadvertently glanced at the mobile phone on the small table next door.
The phone is not very special, and the eye-catching thing is the small pendant hanging down from one side.
Not the usual familiar......
Lin Xi remembers very well that it was the Qixi Festival, and there was a light rain in the city, and she didn't bring an umbrella.
The other students were two or three people holding an umbrella together and walking out unhurriedly. And she is being isolated by her classmates because of her illness. Fortunately, the rain is not heavy, just run to the school gate.
Because she knew that Qin Yu would definitely wait for her there.
At that moment, a force suddenly struck behind her, pulling her back from the rain. Turning around in a panic, she found that Qin Yu had appeared behind her at some point, still holding a black umbrella with a silver handle in her hand.
"I knew you didn't have an umbrella with me, so I came in to pick you up. I looked around upstairs and didn't see you, you came down from the other side? ”
As the words fell, he naturally took her backpack and coat, held up the umbrella with one hand, and "Lean in." ”
She obediently stood under the umbrella, very close to him.
On the way, he said, "Next time this happens, you don't have to go anywhere." Stand where you are, and I'll come to you. ”
That day, he sent her to his grandmother's house as usual. Under the eaves, she held the key and did not open the door for a long time, the hand hidden in the pocket was clenched repeatedly, and the palm of her hand was painful by the pendant.
Turning around, he found him still standing in front of the car with an umbrella. She took a deep breath.
"Qin Yu."
With a very light thud, she used up all her strength, and was easily buried in the rain.
Just as she was hesitating whether to go over, the man shook his figure and walked towards her with an umbrella.
"Do you need this?"
With the palm facing up, when you release your fingers, the indentation on your fingertips has not disappeared.
This is the crystal she specially selected at the counter a few days ago, and it took two days to get it right.
was panicked by his deep eyes, and she hurriedly made an excuse: "It's done in the hand and handicraft class, if you don't need it, I ......"
Without giving her a chance to continue, he took her fingers and rubbed them gently, trying to smooth out the indentations while saying to her, "If this is a gift for the Qixi Festival, then I need it." ”
