[Chapter 24, Lin Zhibai, come and pick me up]

For Qin Ruyue's mother, Lin Zhibai's senses are not very good.

In Lin Zhibai's memory, he found out more than once that her attitude towards him was not very friendly.

It can even be said that it is disgusting.

At that time, Lin Zhibai's mind was full of Qin Ruyue, and he only thought of being a mother, so he didn't think much about it for fear that his daughter would make friends promiscuously.

But now Lin Zhibai thinks back, but keenly finds that Zhang Xueqin's attitude towards herself is surprisingly disgusting.

It stands to reason that he and Qin Ruyue are classmates and childhood sweethearts who grew up together, even if he doesn't like him, but he is still a teenager, and he has never done anything out of the ordinary to Qin Ruyue, so she has no reason to dislike herself like this.

But the fact is that when she occasionally sees herself and Qin Ruyue together, the indescribable disgust in her eyes is very enthusiastic.

Lin Zhibai couldn't figure out where this disgust came from.

Instinctive nature didn't make a good impression of her either.

…………

Seeing that Lin Zhibai's face suddenly turned cold, Qin Ruyue knew that she had said the wrong thing.

She knew that her mother didn't like Lin Zhibai, and she also knew that Lin Zhibai was submissive in front of her mother, and the two of them seemed to be very uncompatible.

But she was in a hurry to say it, and now it's too late to regret it.

Fortunately, this emotion flashed, and Lin Zhibai quickly returned to normal.

He pushed the card back, glanced at the suitcase next to the table, and said.

"Seeing that you are still dragging your luggage, you should not have found a place to live yet, and I will take you to the hotel after eating in a while."

"There are a few near this community, the specifications are okay, if you don't dislike it, you can live here tonight, it's not too early."

Regarding Lin Zhibai's suggestion, Xia Ting and Qin Ruyue naturally had no opinion.

Originally, they were going to book a hotel online, and it was naturally better to be able to live near the community, so it would be more convenient to meet Lin Zhibai.

So after eating, Lin Zhibai took them to a nearby express hotel.

……

When paying at the counter, Qin Ruyue rushed to pay, and Lin Zhibai was not polite to her.

Seeing that Qin Ruyue went to the counter, Xia Ting hurriedly pulled Lin Zhibai aside and asked in a frowning voice.

"Lin Zhibai, what's the matter with you?"

"What's going on?"

Lin Zhibai asked rhetorically.

"Cut, don't think I don't know, are you still angry with Yueyue now?"

"You can't be a big boy."

"Yueyue came from Xicheng to look for you, can't you see it?"

Lin Zhibai did not refute this sentence.

After a while, Xia Ting said again.

"Lin Zhibai, although I don't know what happened to you during this time, I feel that you have indeed changed a lot."

"You used to follow Yueyue like a little kid, but now you feel like you're much more mature."

"Isn't maturity bad?"

"Who likes childish little boys?"

Lin Zhibai joked with a smile.

Lin Zhibai's free and easy appearance made Xia Ting very uncomfortable.

It is true that Lin Zhibai's maturity is masculine in Xia Ting's opinion, but this change makes her unacceptable for a while.

Looking at Xia Ting's furrowed brows, Lin Zhibai said softly.

"Xia Ting, are you eighteen this year?"

"Eighteen in two months, what's wrong?"

"That's almost an adult."

"Then have you thought about living your own life in the future?"

My later life?

Aren't you talking about you and Yueyue, why did it suddenly get involved with me?

"Xia Ting, people will grow up."

"You used to think I liked Qin Ruyue, but in fact, I think so too."

"But the fact is, is that really like, or is it just a dependence, or is it more appropriate to describe it as a habit."

"When people grow up, they must think in a different direction."

"Qin Ruyue and I are not from the same world, what is the point of continuing to entangle rather than having no results?"

"Lin Zhibai, you ......"

Xia Ting was interrupted by Lin Zhibai before she could finish speaking.

"Let's talk about you."

"You always revolve around Qin Ruyue, haven't you thought about what your future life will look like? There will always be other people's shadows in your world, with your own career, your own life, and your own love. ”

"Like today, she is in a mood, so you accompany her to Suzhou to find me."

"If she has other thoughts tomorrow, will you accompany her to other places again?"

"You are Xia Ting, you are also an independent individual, not someone's little follower."

Lin Zhibai said this a little heavier.

But it was precisely because she knew the trajectory of Xia Ting's life in the future that she specially reminded her.

Whoever is sincere to him, Lin Zhibai knows it in his heart.

Lin Zhibai's words made Xia Ting stunned.

She opened her mouth slightly, her eyes widened for a moment before she was confused.

"Lin Zhibai, I don't understand."

"It's okay if you don't understand, you'll understand later."

As he spoke, Lin Zhibai looked at Qin Ruyue who came over and said with a smile.

"Alright, I'll be a gentleman and send you to the room first, and then I'll go back."

Sending Qin Ruyue and Xia Ting to the door of the room, Lin Zhibai didn't go in, just stood at the door and waved his hand and smiled.

"Alright, it's not early, you guys should rest quickly."

"If you are going to play in Suzhou for a few days, remember to tell me, they are all old classmates, I came a few days earlier than you, and I will take you to the attractions when the time comes."

"But not tomorrow, I have an appointment tomorrow."

With that, Lin Zhibai turned around and disappeared into the elevator in the blink of an eye.

Looking at the direction in which Lin Zhibai left, Qin Ruyue pursed her red lips and said nothing.

Xia Ting on the side was still immersed in what he had just said, and her mind was a little confused.

————

Back to the apartment it was already about ten o'clock in the evening.

After washing, Lin Zhibai went to bed to rest, but as soon as he closed his eyes, a lot of pictures appeared in his mind.

To say that it was not touched is false.

However, after thinking rationally, Lin Zhibai didn't worry too much.

He is very satisfied with the current state of life and does not want any unnecessary changes.

————

Following.

The sky was just dawning.

Lin Zhibai's biological clock woke him up on time.

After washing, go out for morning exercise.

At the end of the day, there was a noticeable increase in the heat factor in the air.

August is the hottest time of the year in Suzhou.

The sun outside was scorching the earth, and Lin Zhibai naturally would not choose to go out at this time.

After breakfast, I played games in my room.

It wasn't until noon that he received a call from Zhao Chanyi.

"Lin Zhibai, come and pick me up, I'll invite you to lunch."

Zhao Chanyi's tone was very excited, and he seemed to be in a good mood.

Listening to the brisk voice in his ears, Lin Zhibai's emotions couldn't help but be mobilized.

"Okay, I'll be there soon."
