"Don't worry, I'll be by your side tomorrow. Just do what I tell you." Mu Li pulled Lin Qing into his arms and pinched her little nose.
Lin Qing was a little nervous: "What if something goes wrong?"
"No, believe me." Mu Li rubbed Lin Qing's hair, "It will go smoothly."
Even so, Lin Qing still felt uneasy.
She has seen the power of the media and is really worried about saying something wrong tomorrow.
And Mu Li hasn't told Lin Qing yet that this show is broadcast live.
Looking at Lin Qing's expression, Mu Li finally decided not to say anything.
Lin Qing leaned against Mu Li's chest, listening to his heartbeat, calm and steady.
This is his heartbeat, and it belongs to him alone.
If Mu Li was by her side, she would probably be able to face it well.
Looking at the ceiling, Lin Qing fell into long contemplation.
The next day, Lin Qing woke up before six o'clock.
She smiled bitterly at the mirror.
Even with Mu Li around, I still felt a little nervous.
So I just washed up and looked for suitable clothes in the closet.
At this time, her cell phone rang.
"Lin Qing, let's meet." Xu Yuan said on the phone.
Judging from the sound, he probably got up too.
Lin Qing said apologetically: "I have something else to do today, can we make an appointment another day?"
Xu Yuan insisted: "I know you have to participate in the program in the morning, so I'm looking for you now."
So, it's an emergency
Lin Qing looked at the time, half past six.
So she gritted her teeth and slipped out.
Since it was still early, they agreed to meet at a nearby restaurant.
By the way, breakfast is also solved at the same time.
"I haven't seen you for a few days. You've lost weight." Xu Yuan looked at Lin Qing worriedly and pinched her face. "As expected."
I've lost some weight.
Lin Qing felt a little guilty: "This is all my fault. What does it matter if I lose a little weight?"
Regarding this matter, Lin Qing has always believed that he was wrong.
If I hadn't gone upstairs with Chen Qudong, this series of farces wouldn't have happened.
She never thought about whether Chen Qudong also needed to bear some responsibility.
But now, I don’t know how long it will take to end.
They ordered two century egg and lean meat porridge sets and chose a seat to sit down.
Lin Qing had dark circles under his eyes because he didn't sleep well.
Xu Yuan took out a mirror and held it in front of Lin Qing: "Look, did you not sleep well again?"
Lin Qing glanced at him guiltily.
Xu Yuan said with a reproachful look: "Even if you have a problem, you can't ignore your health. You are still the same as always, and you don't know how to change."
Lin Qing rubbed the dark circles under his eyes in front of the mirror.
She hasn't been out for a long time and hasn't cared about her image recently.
Now he looks a little haggard.
"I think it's time to take good care of you." Xu Yuan was speaking as the waiter brought them breakfast.
Lin Qing picked up the spoon and scooped a mouthful of porridge: "It's just that I didn't sleep well yesterday, it's nothing serious!"
"However, I see that Mu Li seems to be very busy recently." Xu Yuan suddenly said.
He looks very relaxed.
Lin Qing's heart tightened.
"He was solving that problem, leaving home early and coming back late every day." Lin Qing recalled the first few days.
It seemed like the number of times I saw Mu Li every day could be counted on my fingers.
However, Mu Li rarely went out these two days.
Although being pushed to the forefront, Lin Qing was fortunate enough not to confront the media directly.
There was no concept of the seriousness of the situation.
Xu Yuan was about to drink the porridge when he accidentally dropped the spoon on the ground.
Lin Qing waved to the waiter: "Hello! Take a spoon over here."
The waiter looked at Lin Qing from a distance with a strange look in his eyes.
Two minutes later, the spoon was brought.
Just looking at Lin Qing's expression made Lin Qing feel uncomfortable.
"Just give it to me." Xu Yuan spoke in time, interrupting the waiter.
After the waiter left, Lin Qing felt awkward: "Why is she looking at me like that?"
Xu Yuan looked a little apologetic: "I was only thinking about meeting you, but forgot that the incident is now well known. I'm afraid she recognized you, too."
Lin Qing was shocked.
Then she lowered her head and drank her porridge in a somewhat depressed mood.
Xu Yuan realized that he had said something wrong, and consoled him: "It's not your fault, as long as this matter is clarified."
Lin Qing looked up at Xu Yuan and said, "But, have you seen the article written by the senior?"
"I saw it." Xu Yuan suddenly said coldly, "He can actually say such things. I really regret calling him out that day."
Lin Qing pondered and said, "This can't be blamed on you."
Xu Yuan seemed relieved at this point, picking up a meat bun and putting it into Lin Qing's small bowl: "Eat more, you look so thin now."
Lin Qing looked at Xu Yuan with some gratitude.
Maybe she was too worried before.
They chatted for a while about their recent situation.
Whenever Xu Yuan talked about these things in the past, Lin Qing would listen carefully and also express his thoughts.
But today, Lin Qing seemed a little absent-minded.
She didn't notice how the topic turned to Mu Li, and when she realized it, Xu Yuan had already been talking for a long time.
"Lin Qing, you'd better not go to this show." Xu Yuan said with a serious expression.
Lin Qing was very determined: "But I have already promised Mu Li. Even if there will be problems, I can't let him down."
Xu Yuan forced out a smile helplessly: "Regarding this, it's better for you to stand him up."
"I don't understand." Lin Qing questioned, "Why?"
Xu Yuan sighed softly: "Don't you know that Mu Li has offended someone because of this matter?"
Lin Qing looked up in surprise.
Not only this, but she didn't know anything about everything Mu Li had done.
At first she would ask further questions, but the answers she got were always the same.
Lin Qing was very confused and put the spoon aside: "Who did he offend?"
I only heard that some people are afraid of offending Mu Li, but I don’t know that Mu Li will also offend others.
Xu Yuan just shook his head, as if it was inconvenient to bring it up.
She probably heard it from a friend and didn't know the details.
But in front of Lin Qing, this information is enough.
Xu Yuan asked back: "Didn't he tell you?"
Lin Qing was silent.
Mu Li would never tell her these words.
It seemed that Xu Yuan had guessed something, and smiled as if to smooth things over: "He has his reasons for not telling you, don't take it to heart."
This tone seemed to be extremely familiar to Mu Li.
Lin Qing seemed like an outsider.
"I believe him, nothing will happen." Lin Qing's eyes suddenly became firm, "If it's like what you said, he will definitely tell me."
Xu Yuan smiled: "You mean, I'm lying to you?"
Lin Qing picked up the spoon again and drank a mouthful of porridge, which was a little hot: "I just think that maybe you are too concerned."
Xu Yuan's perfect smile was a little stiff at this moment.
"Lin Qing, I'm doing this for your own good."
Lin Qing smiled in relief: "Of course I know. I thought that you were too worried about this matter and might have believed the news by mistake."
For a moment, Xu Yuan was unable to refute.
"What if he told me this himself?"
After a moment's silence, Xu Yuan seemed to have made a decision and spoke frankly.
Lin Qing was slightly startled.
"If he said it himself, I..." Before Lin Qing could finish his words, he was interrupted by another voice.
In fact, she was somewhat relieved.
"Ms. Lin Qing, nice to meet you again!" A strange male voice entered Lin Qing's ears.
Lin Qing turned around and saw a familiar face.
After the failure of the operation last night, I didn’t expect to meet such an important person so soon when I went out for breakfast.
Today Zheng Yan called Lin Qing by her name, but his tone was the same as yesterday.
Lin Qing felt that he looked like a bad boy no matter how he looked at him.
Just a little older.
"What a coincidence!" Zheng Yan struck up a cliché.
No matter how you look at it, he's already in his thirties.
Lin Qing replied: "It's you."
She didn't seem surprised and greeted him lightly.
Zheng Yan looked at the four-person square table in front of them and seemed very interested: "Ms. Lin Qing, I just happened to need something from you. Is it convenient for us to have dinner together now?"
"You need me for something?" Lin Qing was puzzled.
She still didn't know Zheng Yan's identity.
Xu Yuan, who had just been interrupted, looked Zheng Yan up and down with an expressionless face.
"Who are you?"
Zheng Yan suddenly realized and pounded his palm with his fist: "Look at me, I even forgot to introduce myself."
He said this and took out his business card in one smooth motion.
Lin Qing took his business card and glanced at it, his face looking a little unhappy.
"Are you a reporter?" Her voice was cold.
This person was the one who put her in the newspaper.
Zheng Yan felt proud: "You should have guessed it. I took those photos."
Lin Qing was somewhat surprised at his proactive admission of guilt.
Xu Yuan slammed the table angrily and stood up, ignoring the looks from others: "So it was you!"
Lin Qing had no choice but to quickly pull her to sit down.
Zheng Yan shrugged: "This is my job."
"My job?" Xu Yuan sneered, "You're so proud of taking photos of other people's privacy and publishing them in the newspaper, right?"
I am proud, indeed.
Because of Lin Qing’s “cheating” incident, Zheng Yan’s status in the publishing company instantly rose.
Countless people came to admire him, and there were also people trying to poach him.
Just when everyone thought his career was booming, Zheng Yan suddenly offered to resign.
The leaders of the publishing house tried to persuade him, but to no avail.
However, no one knows what's strange about this.
At this time, Zheng Yan extended a friendly hand to Lin Qing: "Now, can I take a seat?"
It seemed that if he revealed his identity, he would be sure to win.
Lin Qing didn't shake his hand and smiled apologetically: "Sorry, I don't think there is anything to talk about."
Her attitude was not tough, but it also revealed a sense of alienation.
I don't want to have anything to do with Zheng Yan.
Appetite is especially important when eating.
Zheng Yan was depressed due to the continuous attacks from the couple.
Generally speaking, shouldn't the other party be the one feeling threatened in this situation
Zheng Yan, however, felt that he was at a disadvantage.
Firstly, Lin Qing really didn't want to talk to Zheng Yan, and secondly, Xu Yuan looked unhappy.
In the past, Lin Qing always thought that Xu Yuan was a very stable person.
When she came back this time, she felt that Xu Yuan had changed a little.
He couldn’t explain it before, but now Lin Qing has realized something.
After meeting Zheng Yan, Xu Yuan didn't say much.
His dislike for the reporter was evident in his expression.
He winked at Lin Qing several times, asking her to drive Zheng Yan away.
Zheng Yan then turned his gaze to Xu Yuan: "Why do I feel that your friend also looks familiar?"
Xu Yuan was so angry that he almost died.
In order to avoid unnecessary conflicts, Lin Qing had to decide the matter quickly.
"Please sit down. But leave as soon as you are done."
Zheng Yan made a V sign in his heart.
Once they sit down, it's hard to get them out.
Lin Qing was slow to speak, and Zheng Yan was confused: "Don't you have anything to ask?"
Lin Qing was depressed: "Aren't you the one with the problem?"
Feeling cold towards Lin Qing, Zheng Yan could only organize his words silently in his mind.
