Chapter 15 Contact
"My brother?"
Xu Chenyin lowered his eyes and swiped his mobile phone, refusing without thinking about it: "When my mother first married Uncle Zhao, she was too busy to take care of me, so it was always my brother who took care of me, and when I arrived in the United States, my brother took me, and it was always not good to trouble my brother." ”
"What are you afraid of?" Chen Lin said disapprerovingly: "You are all called brother, they are all a family, not to mention that Zhao Jinzhou is so rich, and he is the boss, no matter how troublesome you are, Zhao Jinzhou may be something that can be solved with your fingers." ”
Xu Chenyin leaned his head on the back of the seat, pressed the window button with his fingertips, let a trace of evening breeze blow in, and replied unhurriedly: "No matter what my brother says, his surname is Zhao, and he is not related to me, I must know how to maintain a sense of proportion." ”
"That's the truth when you say that, you still have to earn your own money to spend comfortably."
Hearing her say this, Xu Chenyin subconsciously turned her eyes to look at her, her eyebrows moved slightly, and the meaning was obvious.
Chen Lin cleared his throat and said confidently: "Even if I don't spend Li Yu's money, then there are other women who spend it for me, rather than letting him raise women outside, it is better for me to spend it all." ”
Xu Chenyin wanted to persuade, but swallowed back the words, after all, so many years have passed, if Chen Lin really wanted to break up with Li Pre, he would have broken up as early as when Li Pre was discovered for the first time raising a woman outside, why should he delay it to the point where he is about to get engaged now.
The atmosphere in the car quieted down, Xu Chenyin turned his eyes to look at the bustling night scene flashing outside the car window, and asked softly, "Where are we going to eat?" ”
"The skewers are still clear, right? I want to have a drink, it's a bit annoying these days. Chen Lin replied casually.
Xu Chenyin wanted to go home early, so he chose to eat skewers, but after seeing the two bottles of liquor and a case of beer that Chen Lin ordered, he silently dispelled the idea of going home early in his heart.
The bustling streets, people come and go, because it is summer, so the basic barbecue restaurant will set up a table outside, Xu Chenyin sat on a plastic stool, ordered the skewers, and watched Chen Lin pour herself a large glass of beer, and then reopened a bottle, and poured it all into her cup.
Chen Lin immediately raised her glass and raised her chin at her: "The feelings are deep, and the sip is stuffy." ”
“……”
Xu Chenyin wanted to refuse, but she couldn't stand it, Chen Lin had already poured wine with her head up, so she could only keep up.
The slightly bitter cold beer spread to the entire senses, and Xu Chenyin actually felt a sense of relaxation, as if he had violently dispersed the things he had been thinking about in his heart for the past few days.
"Cool!" After Chen Lin finished stuffing, he put down the wine glass, supported his face with one hand, stared directly at Xu Chenyin's slightly flushed white and tender cheeks, and said with some amusement: "Chenyin, why is your alcohol consumption so bad." ”
Since the first time they came out to drink in high school, she found out that Xu Chenyin poured two bottles of alcohol, so after that, Ji Yan clearly forbade Xu Chenyin from drinking, every time they came out to get together, Ji Yan would buy a bottle of yogurt or juice for Xu Chenyin in advance.
Thinking of Ji Yan, Chen Lin couldn't help but ask, "Chenyin, how are you and Ji Yan?" Have you been in touch privately since your last class reunion? ”
Hearing her mention a few words of private contact, Xu Chenyin couldn't help but frown, took out her mobile phone, opened WeChat to show Chen Lin, stretched out two slender fingers, and said sadly: "Add twice...... It's all gone. ”
As she spoke, she couldn't help but get up and fill the wine glass for herself and Chen Lin, picked up the cup and drank this one again, sighed deeply, and her tone was a little choked: "He hates me very much, Ji Yan hates me very much now, and he asked me never to appear in front of him again." ”
"He said that?"
Chen Lin's face flashed with surprise for a moment, but then he remembered something, sighed and said, "But also, when something like that happened to Ji Yan back then, you ...... it."
She said, shaking her head, not saying another word, but it was like saying a thousand words.
The atmosphere between the two fell silent, out of place with the commotion around them.
Xu Chenyin's eyelashes trembled slightly, and there were some tears in his eyes, and before the tears fell, he raised his hand to wipe away the tears, and muttered: "I saw his WeChat avatar before, which is the shipwreck bay that we have always agreed to go to, but after I sent him a friend verification message, he changed his avatar to ......"
After she said this, she lowered her eyes and said slowly: "It also completely shattered the little hope in my heart." ”
"Such a ruthless ......" Chen Lin wanted to comfort her, but halfway through the words, she suddenly thought of something, her eyes widened suddenly, and she asked closely: "Do you still have Ji Yan's contact information?" ”
Xu Chenyin met her gaze, nodded and shook his head: "I saw it through a job opportunity by chance, and his number had long been cancelled before." ”
At the beginning, not long after she left Beijing, she contacted Ji Yan behind her mother's back, but at that time, Ji Yan's phone number showed that it had been cancelled.
"Work?" Chen Lin successfully captured the key point: "What you are doing now is the work of a cultural relics restorer, so unpopular, what relationship can you have with Ji Yan in your work?" ”
Xu Chenyin stabilized his mind and calmed down the surging emotions before he said: "Ji Yan is now a cultural relics protection policeman, and he met him on a business trip before. ”
"Good guys!"
Chen Lin couldn't help but sigh, and calmly analyzed: "Chenyin, according to the situation you said, I think Ji Yan must still have feelings for you, but he doesn't want to admit it." ”
"I don't like ......"
Xu Chenyin said as he raised his head and drank the beer in the glass, and after putting down the glass, his nose couldn't help but be sour, and his tone was a little nasal: "Linlin, I don't have the confidence to be able to chase Ji Yan back." ”
Looking at her obviously drunk appearance, Chen Lin wanted to stop it, so she heard Xu Chenyin ask, "How are you and Li Pre?" ”
‘……’
Chen Lin waved her hand, raised her wine glass, and held a glass to her: "Drink." ”
As night fell, the neon lights flickered on the streets, and the occasional evening breeze blew through the branches.
After most of the empty beer bottles, Xu Chenyin's cheeks were already flushed, and the tears in the corners of her eyes slowly slipped down, she looked down at Chen Lin's chattering lips, her expression was confused, and she didn't know if she had listened again.
"Chenyin, don't cry!"
Chen Lin poured another glass of wine for her and herself, and said in a soothing tone: "I...... I contacted Li Pre, he must have Ji Yan's contact information, I let him and Ji Yan talk! ”
"How?"
Xu Chenyin propped his arms on the table, covered his cheeks with his hands, and whispered, "I can't say it......"
"Why can't you say it!"
Chen Lin decisively dialed Li Pre's phone as if to prove it, but it was not Li Pre who answered the phone over there, but a woman: "Li Pre is taking a bath." ”
"Fuck you, dog man and woman!" Chen Lin cursed, threw the limited edition mobile phone on the side of the road, watched the mobile phone being crushed by a passing car, and cried with one hand on his forehead.
