When she got off work in the evening, Dove said that her brother would be arriving around nine o'clock in the evening, so she had to pick him up. Only then did she remind Du Lin that Merlin should be arriving today as well, and he almost forgot. After he made a phone call to Mason to confirm, he stopped Dove who was packing her things and preparing to leave. Since her younger brother and her own brother are both arriving tonight, it's better to pick them up together, which will save some trouble.
"Let's have something to eat together tonight and pick someone up. I'll drive there later." Dulin picked up the car keys and put them in his pocket. During this time, he had been sleeping in the city hall. It's not that he couldn't afford the house here. , but now the houses nearby are basically going to be demolished soon. Maybe they will have to move after just living in them for a few days, and he doesn't want to cause this trouble. If you go a little far away and can't sleep more in the morning, you might as well stay in the office.
Apart from not having as many entertainment options as outside, it is actually quite comfortable.
When Du Lin said this, Dove just thought he was being polite and immediately waved her hands and said, "It's okay, I'll just go by myself. You still have to rest at night." After saying that, her face turned a little red. Her parents wrote letters every day. To her, the letter told her more than once that she must firmly grasp Du Lin's thread, and now that the women's rights movement is in full swing, it doesn't matter if she takes the initiative...
Even if Dove had never considered this situation, she would inevitably have some charming ideas under the constant encouragement and encouragement of her family. She wondered if Du Lin thought she might be in danger walking alone at night, so he drove with her to pick up that bastard Buck. However, this charming atmosphere was broken by Du Lin before she could spin a few times in her body.
"Don't worry too much. My brother should be on the same bus. I'll pick him up together." He took a thin coat. It was already September. September in the north is cooler than September in the south. , the cold air blowing from further north brings a touch of coolness to this hot autumn. Coupled with the geographical environment around Otis City, the wind will become stronger every night and the temperature will drop to 24-55 It looks like it's going to be a little cold if you go out at night without a coat.
Only then did Dove realize that she was really "overthinking" and was a little embarrassed. She lowered her head and followed Du Lin out of the city hall and got into Du Lin's car.
"Let's go to the nearby construction site first, and then find a place to eat. After eating and resting for a while, we will pick them up. What do you think of this arrangement?" Du Lin inserted the car key into the keyhole and tilted his head. After asking, Dove had not yet broken free from the embarrassment just now. She just nodded without answering and touched the hot connection. Du Lin gave her a strange look, stepped on the pedal of the power cabin, and the car instantly kicked up a cloud of dust and rushed out.
Time passed bit by bit. When the whistle of the train came from the distance, it was already a few minutes past 9:30 in the evening. The steam locomotive stayed in Namirindes for longer than expected. The conductor and The flight attendant got off the bus and had a dinner, which lasted for more than an hour, making everyone wait for a while. Fortunately, although it was late, it was not too late. It was only more than thirty minutes late. For people in this era, this is not considered late.
In the past, the steam locomotives that took this route never stopped in Otis City, but with the city's rapid development and increasing reputation, they would stop here for a while. Some people from nearby cities also began to go to Otis City to look for new opportunities in life, wanting to change their ordinary lives and destiny.
Buck found Merlin and Alyssa before getting off the bus. He kept staring at the man who had occupied his seat. He firmly remembered the man's appearance in his heart. As long as there was a chance, he would definitely take away what he received today. Return the shame!
He had never been so embarrassed as he was today. He felt that his face was torn off by the other party and thrown to the ground, and he stepped on it several times. This kind of shame and humiliation made his heartbeat speed up a lot and his breathing became a little short.
Who in Ilian didn't know that his sister was Doolin's maid and housekeeper? Every time he goes out, various people he knows or doesn't know greet him. Even if he has a little dispute with someone, the other party will quickly give in after knowing his identity. After all, Mr. Three Hundred and Fifty Thousand is too famous, and no one wants to mess with Du Lin, and no one wants to mess with Du Lin, especially after Du Lin was suspected of murdering Juan and was acquitted. relationship people.
Buck mistook these people's awe for Dulin as their awe for him, which gave him the illusion that "I am also a big shot." However, he did not have such a big face, and he thought the world was too simple.
When the three of them came out of the station, Buck stood on the steps and looked around. He immediately pointed to a car parked in the distance and said to the two people beside him: "Look, it's my sister who came to pick me up. How about you guys?" Come with me, after all, it’s already so late, and it might be inconvenient to find a place to live.” Actually, Buck is not a bad person, he is just pampering at home and has not been slapped by reality. So there's still a bit of naivety and fantasy.
In essence, he is actually a good guy. The only shortcoming may be that he always feels that he is the center of the universe.
Both of them shook their heads. Merlin knew where to find that bastard Du Lin, and Alyssa who was standing next to him knew it too, so they had no intention of leaving with this "very powerful" comedian. Buck felt a little pity, so he had to say goodbye to the two of them with a smile. Before he had walked a few steps, he heard the sound of rapid footsteps in his ears. He looked back in surprise and saw that Merlin and Alyssa had already caught up with him.
He likes to make friends, at least in Ilian. Almost one-third of the salary Dove takes home every month will fall into his hands, so he has become a "righteous person" in the words of others. "friend. Although a few real friends told him that others were trying to hurt him, he was happy with it. He likes the feeling of being surrounded by people, and he can afford it even if he spends a little money on it.
But before he could say hello and introduce his sister to the two friends, both of them passed him and walked towards the car. He looked a little confused, then followed closely, still walking in front of the two of them.
"This must be my brother-in-law. You must know that my brother-in-law is a very big man here..."
Before Buck finished speaking, his "brother-in-law" left the car. He knew Dulin and had met him several times from a distance. He once asked Dove to go to the 350,000 manor to play, but was rejected ruthlessly, and he was still angry for a while.
When he was about to say something, Du Lin pushed him away and walked up to the taciturn guy named Merlin behind him. The two looked at each other and hugged each other vigorously. This made Buck's jaw almost drop to the ground. What the hell is going on
How could he know Du Lin? If so, why didn't he tell him
After a brief moment of embarrassment, Buck laughed a few times. Anyway, he had spent the whole day in embarrassment, and this little embarrassment could no longer hurt his sensitive and fragile heart.
"Actually, Melissa is pretty good..." Dulin teased, but before he finished speaking, Merlin was so angry that Dulin almost rolled his eyes. He pushed Merlin, took a deep breath and broke away from Merlin's arms, "Welcome, brother!"
When this sentence was said, not only Buck was dumbfounded, but Alyssa on the side was also dumbfounded. When it came to the relationship between Du Lin and Du Lin, I am afraid that no one present could compare to Merlin. Even Alyssa looked in disbelief, could it be such a coincidence
Merlin smiled and patted Du Lin's shoulder, which made Du Lin stagger to the other side. He rubbed his sore shoulder and complained, "Dad said that the brothers of the Layton family are the offspring of dragons." , actually I think you are too!”
After saying that, he looked at Alyssa and greeted her with a smile, "You are also welcome, why didn't you give me a call before coming?"
Alyssa came back to her senses and said through gritted teeth: "I'm afraid you'll run away!"
Du Lin smiled like a spring breeze, "Am I such a miserable person in your mind?"
He thought that Alyssa would continue to fight with him, but unexpectedly in the next second, Alyssa took a few steps closer to him, hugged his body, and suddenly she completely broke down and cried loudly.
Snot and tears surged out like a river after the rain. Dulin patted her back and comforted her in a low voice, "What happened that required you to come so far to find me? Did someone bully you?" Or has something happened to Mr. Bain?"
Alyssa raised her head, losing control of her emotions again. Her whole body was trembling slightly, "We... our child is lost!" After saying these intermittent words, she almost cried and couldn't breathe. Dove's eyes were a little moist.
Until this moment, Alyssa's long pain was finally released. Whether in front of Mr. Bain or Mrs. Bain, she acted very strong and even comforted them in turn. But only here in Dulin, she was as helpless as a little girl lost on a rainy night, crying heartbreakingly, wandering and helpless!
Dove grabbed Buck and dragged him away. She knew that Buck was heartless, so there were some words he couldn't listen to.
"I... I don't know who took our child away. I went to the police, I went to them, and they told me to wait..." Alyssa said while crying, her heart broken, "I've waited. It's been a year. I don't know where he is. They didn't tell me anything. Even my father couldn't get any information. I don't know what to do. Dulin, I can only come to you. Please, Get our children back!"
