Xiao Zheng didn't drive here, and he didn't take a taxi when he went back. Instead, I chose to take the subway. There are many people in the subway, but when there are many people, all living things are different. There are elderly people sitting alone in the corner, and there are also middle-aged mothers holding one in their arms and another in their hands, but most of them are exhausted office workers taking a nap. Surviving in the capital often requires more hardship than surviving in local cities to achieve the same quality of life.
Xiao Zheng was sitting alone in the corner, the expression on his face had returned to normal, and he was trying to calm down the turmoil in his heart.
He is actually not a man with much ambition. Otherwise, he would have had more and better development and opportunities during those years overseas. Drinking with the chief and visiting the gardens with the royal family is not Ma Yingjun's boast, but it is true. But Xiao Zheng has a dull nature and always lives in his own small world. I feel that if I have a bowl of rice to eat and a glass of wine to drink, my life will be complete. Rarely do we think about how much money a person will earn in his lifetime and how high his status will be to be considered successful.
This may be related to the education of the old dean.
Of course, how can you expect an old man who can spend all his savings to build a charity orphanage to teach Xiao Zheng to be a cruel and ruthless hero? This is not nonsense.
Seeing the various behaviors of living beings is a good way to relieve your mood. After seeing too much suffering in the world, the human soul will always be temporarily sublimated. I no longer complain, and I have no right to complain about life. Compared with most people in the world, everyone's living environment and quality of life are good. At least maintain it in a passing state.
After riding the subway for nearly an hour, Xiao Zheng walked out of the subway station, bought a bottle of mineral water at a convenience store at the intersection, and drank it all in one gulp. A smile appeared naturally on his face. Not the stiff smile at the dinner table, but a sincere, calm smile without any impurities, coming from the heart.
It was already half past ten when I got home. Lin Huayin left a lamp for him, and there was a fruit salad on the dining table. Xiao Zheng changed his shoes, finished the carefully prepared salad, and then turned off the lights and went upstairs.
"Still busy." Xiao Zheng walked over with a smile and squeezed Lin Huayin's shoulders.
Lin Huayin put down the pen and responded to Xiao Zheng's caring massage in a relatively slow tone: "Have you been drinking?"
"Yeah." Xiao Zheng smiled and said with emotion. "My father-in-law's Moutai comes in boxes. It's so rich."
Lin Huayin looked back slightly and glanced at Xiao Zheng, who had a smile on his face but not so bright eyes. Feeling a little strange in his heart, he just said: "Go take a bath. I'll make you a cup of ginseng tea."
"Okay." Xiao Zheng smiled slightly, took off his clothes and went into the bathroom to take a shower.
The toothpaste has been squeezed onto the toothbrush, and the clean underwear is all on the hangers. If it weren't for the two of them, with Lin Huayin's attentiveness, she could even help Xiao Zheng apply shower gel. Of course, after having an unforgettable experience, I believe that even if Xiao Zheng trades his life, he may not be able to get a second chance.
After taking a quick shower and changing into comfortable pajamas, Xiao Zheng climbed into bed. At this time, Lin Huayin also closed the computer, put down the pen and paper, and rested with Xiao Zheng.
As usual, Xiao Zheng always likes to chat with Lin Huayin about some nutritious topics before going to bed. Lin Huayin also went from being silent at first to slowly adapting later. Even occasionally take the initiative to bring up one or two meaningful topics. This has become an integral part of their lives.
Due to many factors, Xiao Zheng did not take the initiative to mention the Lin family's affairs. He found many irrelevant topics to talk about. We chatted happily and had endless fun. Like a carefree big boy still staying in the ivory tower.
His acting skills are superb. It was so realistic that others thought he had just won the top prize, with a bonus that would last him ten lifetimes. Lin Huayin is not good at acting, and she doesn't bother to hide herself in front of anyone. She is like this, she does not change because of others, and no one can change her.
But she has a pair of piercing eyes that can see through many people acting in front of her. No matter male or female.
Even though Xiao Zheng concealed it very well, he did not deliberately ignore the Lin family. Even, in a topic he just talked about, not only Lin Xiaozhu was included, but the Lin family also made a friendly guest appearance.
But he was still seen through by Lin Huayin. It's easier and simpler than seeing through others.
No one can act in front of their family. Just like a child who is clearly suffering, even if he or she has won the world's top acting award. But in front of his relatives, every move he made and all the deliberate and exquisite disguises were like the king's new clothes, which had no effect. Even if you hide it, it's just that your relatives can't bear to expose it.
"He refused?" Lin Huayin turned over slightly and looked at Xiao Zheng with clear eyes.
Xiao Zheng, who was chattering endlessly, closed his mouth, his expression was rather strange, but not solemn.
"I didn't give it."
Xiao Zheng, who was silent for a moment, spoke up.
"Did not give?"
No matter how wise and talented Lin Huayin was, he could not have predicted such a result. In her default scenario, Lin Chaotian might reject Xiao Zheng. It could also be perfunctory. Even procrastination. But she would never have imagined that Xiao Zheng didn't give out an invitation letter directly.
Why
Lin Huayin was confused. It is also completely impossible to understand Xiao Zheng's behavior.
"When I went there, they were entertaining Chang Yishan." Xiao Zheng said very implicitly.
Lin Huayin frowned slightly, but his eyes remained cold: "What does it have to do with it?"
In her eyes, Chang Yishan is just an insignificant person. It can't even be included in any trajectory of her life.
What you give to you, he takes in his. What's the conflict
"He used to laugh at me for eating soft food." Xiao Zheng explained with a slight smile. "I'm afraid he'll mock me for hugging your father's lap again."
Lin Huayin didn't ask any more questions. No need to ask anymore.
She knows Xiao Zheng better than anyone else. She also knew who Xiao Zheng was. Does he care about being laughed at and eating soft food? He doesn't care. Is he a man for whom face is of paramount importance? Neither is he.
He went there just to give face to the Lin family. Be polite. How could he care about the ridicule of an outsider
But at this moment, he used such a lame excuse to explain why he didn't send the invitation letter.
How smart and wise is Lin Huayin
Even if she didn't attend the scene in person, she could still think clearly about the dinner prepared for Chang Yishan. Including everyone's reaction, mood, and even motivation.
She also knew that Xiao Zheng had endured the worst experience she could imagine, the most heinous cold violence.
Even if she was not present, it was as if she was sitting next to Xiao Zheng and saw his hesitation and uneasiness. I saw his loneliness and helplessness.
A fire suddenly burst into her heart.
Continuous anger!
