"Lin Zhihua!" Xue Jiao's voice was pleasantly surprised.
Her eyes lit up slightly, she was surprised at first, then she laughed, her eyebrows curved.
A plain face is full of smiles, just looking at her smile makes one's heart soften, like something has melted, soft and warm.
Lin Zhihua couldn't control the smile on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were also full of smiles.
"Zijiao."
When he saw her, he felt that it was worth it after he had slept for a while after finishing the company's affairs.
Very worth it.
Seeing her face, it was worth the effort.
"Why are you here!" Xue Jiao's voice was still full of surprise, and it could be seen that seeing Lin Zhihua made her very happy.
Lin Zhihua got out of the car, opened the car door for her, and said, "It's important to come here, just as you said that City C also has delicious food, I'll come to you."
After he finished speaking, he nodded and motioned for Xuejiao to get in the car.
Xuejiao nodded, went around to the co-pilot to get on the car, and said with a smile: "That's right, I haven't eaten yet, I'll take you there!"
"Okay." Lin Zhihua smiled and retracted the hand protecting her from getting into the car, returned to the driver's seat and got into the car, and started the car.
…
Xuejiao wanted to take him to a shop that Cheng Shuo took them to before. She didn't really know how to taste delicious food, but the taste of that shop was really good. It was also a small shop, but her ancestors had passed down dozens of Years of craftsmanship.
"Just in front, to the left." Xue Jiao commanded.
Lin Zhihua glanced at her with a smile and said, "So you really like to eat..."
Xuejiao blushed, coughed, and said a little embarrassedly: "It's not... I just wrote it down... I can eat it if I have a chance... "
Lin Zhihua chuckled lightly, and the slightly oscillating voice in her throat made Xuejiao even more embarrassed.
"Then I will often ask you to take me to eat in the future. I rarely know where there is delicious food, and only eat in one restaurant."
a shop
Xuejiao's eyes lit up, and a pair of bright eyes looked straight at Lin Zhihua: "Is that the store in Wuliuxiang?"
Lin Zhihua nodded.
Xuejiao "brought tears all over her face" in her heart, and said aggrievedly: "That shop... I can eat for a lifetime..."
That taste!
Absolutely!
Since Lin Zhihua saw her, the smile in his eyes never disappeared.
"Study hard and come to Beijing quickly."
Xuejiao nodded heavily, and went to Beijing for the exam later. She didn't say that she would eat that delicious food every day.
Lin Zhihua glanced at her and pretended to be nonchalant: "The third year of high school is coming soon. In the past two years, the admission score for the college entrance examination has been getting higher and higher, and there are more and more students with good academic performance. There is only one year left, and you must not have it. A moment of relaxation."
Xue Jiao always felt that Lin Zhihua was like her teacher, and she always respected him as a teacher.
These words came out of Lin Zhihua's mouth, like the teacher's earnest teaching.
Xue Jiao was a little moved, and his warning was to care about her.
She is doing it all over again, but not everyone in this world has a chance to do it again. She still doesn't understand why she is doing it all over again, but that doesn't prevent her from knowing... This is an opportunity she must seize!
Xuejiao nodded again, not only a promise to Lin Zhihua, but also a promise to herself...
"I will! I will definitely cherish my chance again!"
Lin Zhihua turned to look at her.
Xue Jiao froze slightly. She was inattentive just now and said something she shouldn't have said...
She panicked for a moment, and immediately remedied: "I mean I didn't work hard before, this is a new opportunity!"
Lin Zhihua nodded, as if not noticing her panic.
Just smiled contentedly, and then said softly, "I believe in you, and I hope my vision is not wrong."
Xuejiao scratched her head and breathed a sigh of relief.
He must not have noticed his specious words!
After all, who can be associated with such a bizarre event as being possessed by someone else
The car slowly arrived at the position Xuejiao said, parked in front first, and the two walked there side by side.
"Just..." Xue Jiao paused because she noticed the closed shop.
The voice rose suddenly, with surprise: "Huh? Is the door closed?"
Lin Zhihua glanced at the store, it looked very ordinary, and there was a sign on the door...
Old-fashioned.
He shrugged: "Isn't the door open today?"
Xue Jiao was also at a loss, took another look, scratched her head, and said, "I don't know why, but the door was not opened today..."
"Then change one?"
"Ok."
Xuejiao felt a little embarrassed, and brought Lin Zhihua here on purpose, but she bumped into it and just didn't open the door, so she ran for nothing.
Lin Zhihua shook his head and chuckled, "Do you have any other recommendations?"
He didn't care at all, after all, he came only to see her, not to eat.
"Then let's go eat snacks?" Xuejiao turned her head, her voice a little excited.
Since she became Gu Xuejiao, she has not eaten snacks!
Every day I eat in the cafeteria or at home. Even if the whole family comes out together, I have never eaten snacks together.
"Snack?" Lin Zhihua was stunned for a moment.
Xuejiao raised her hand and pointed to the corner ahead...
"That's the street..."
She was a little embarrassed, her cheeks were slightly flushed, her fingers pointed forward, and she looked at him.
Lin Zhihua's heart softened, nodded, and said helplessly: "Okay."
Xuejiao's eyes are bright, her steps are brisk, and she even beckons...
"Hurry up! There must be a lot of people!"
In order to see her today, Lin Zhihua specially changed out of his suit and came to see her in casual clothes.
This is the assistant looking for someone to pick, it is said that... looks young.
His hairstyle isn't serious either, with some bangs draped slightly in front of his forehead, making his sharp eyes less indifferent.
In addition, standing next to Xuejiao with a smile on his face since seeing Xuejiao, he did not maintain peace at all.
The snack street is very lively for Xuejiao. She worked in the snack street in her previous life, and it was a taste that she hadn't tasted for a long time, which made her feel excited.
But for Lin Zhihua…
His brows were furrowed, and there was a hint of pain and resistance in his eyes.
Lin Zhihua had never been to such a place before. The crowded place would make him feel very uncomfortable, so that since Lin Zhihua had a memory, wherever he went, he didn't want outsiders.
After taking over the Lin family, many places he went to were cleared.
Even in the company, he has an exclusive elevator, an exclusive parking lot, and the entire Lin family goes up and down. Except for the manager and other high-level executives, other employees will not be able to see him unless it is under special circumstances.
Lin Zhihua, who rejects contact with people so much...
Snack Street... Really my first time here...
His brows were tight, and Lin Zhihua felt a little suffocated by the people coming and going, especially in summer, the air mixed with sweat and strong oil smell.
In addition, the girls who came and went the most, all seemed to be only a finger away from him.
Lin Zhihua's forehead began to sweat, and there was an urge to turn around and walk away.
"Hey! Is that chicken wings with rice?" Xue Jiao looked at the front with bright eyes, and pulled Lin Zhihua's sleeve with an excited finger.
He seemed to be able to smell the faint fragrance on her body, isolating all the pain around her.
Lin Zhihua tilted her head and took a deep breath on her head, finally suppressing her physical disgust.
Xuejiao turned her head suddenly...
"Chicken wings with rice, would you like one?"
Even if the body is resisting, she can't help it when she smiles.
Nodding unconsciously, Xuejiao walked over directly, "Two!"
Xue Jiao said, she took out her cute wallet and took out the money.
Lin Zhihua glanced at the two girls standing beside her, and frowned again.
After a while, he walked to the other side of Xuejiao with difficulty, next to her, but far away from the crowd.
The two girls lined up in front of Xuejiao and were waiting. The two kept tilting their heads, looking at Xuejiao and Lin Zhihua.
I can vaguely hear some words...
“… day… so beautiful…”
"Men... so handsome..."
The sight of the two who thought they were hidden fell into the eyes of Lin Zhihua and Xue Jiao, but it was very obvious.
After a moment, the two of them got their belongings, but they still didn't leave. Lin Zhihua looked up and frowned, his eyes were unconsciously sharp and sharp.
The two were stunned for a moment, and immediately pushed away.
"Two chicken wings are ready! Be careful not to burn your hands!" The shop owner said with a smile.
"Thank you!" Xue Jiao just stretched out her hand, and a big hand with well-defined joints stretched out next to it and took the thing.
"Huh? Do you want to eat? There are too many people here. Shall we go to the lake to eat later?" Xue Jiao thought that Lin Zhihua was hungry.
The other party just nodded stiffly.
Xuejiao continued to move forward, and stopped after walking very far, "Can we buy another potato and squid?"
"Okay..." Lin Zhihua still couldn't refuse her.
There were more people in front of this booth than the booth just now, Lin Zhihua stood far away and did not dare to approach.
It wasn't until Xue Jiao came over with something that he was slightly relieved, and his frowning brows loosened a little.
"I bought two! I haven't eaten it for a long time, and I have forgotten the taste!" She smiled, looking very happy, and with reminiscence.
It's just a little snack that makes her happy like this...
Lin Zhihua's heart softened, and he experienced emotions that he had never experienced before, over and over again.
Next to him, a man riding a battery car drove over. He seemed to be looking at something, so that he was a little distracted and came towards Xuejiao.
Lin Zhihua's pupils shrank, and she took Xuejiao into her arms, there were people behind her, and there was no way to retreat.
He put his foot on the battery car that was driving over, and the other party fell down with the car.
Xuejiao's cheek bumped into Lin Zhihua's arms, and the fragrance of the light clothes came over, she was slightly stunned.
Lin Zhihua is different from the boys she knows. Yi Tianyu also loves cleanliness, but because he often plays basketball, his body occasionally smells of sweat.
Cheng Mingze is also like this, he will never smell clean saponins all over his body.
"Are you all right?" Lin Zhihua didn't look at the man riding a bicycle, and looked at Xue Jiao worriedly.
Xue Jiao hurriedly came out of his arms and shook her head, "It's okay."
"What are you doing?" The man picked up the battery car and rushed over angrily.
It happened that a woman passed by behind and bumped into Lin Zhihua.
He held back his disgust, the irritability in his heart could not be restrained, and his voice was cold...
"You almost hit someone."
man is still angry...
"My car is so slow that nothing will happen if I hit it! And I'm a new car! Look at it, it's all broken, can you afford it?"
The man looked very angry, staring at Lin Zhihua, his eyes widened and angry.
Lin Zhihua's voice became colder, and his eyes were sharp.
"I don't know if it's legal for you to ride here, but I don't think you're about to hit someone, and there's something wrong with me kicking away."
"you this… "
Lin Zhihua interrupted him and took out a business card.
"I don't want to waste time discussing this kind of issue with you. You make this call and my lawyer will talk to you in detail."
man:"… "
Lin Zhihua's eyes are sharp, his clean fingers are holding the business card, and he wears a watch that is not cheap at first glance.
The man was stunned for a while, then suddenly pushed the battery car and walked away cursing.
I vaguely heard him say...
"Rich people take their girlfriends for snacks? Buckle like this?"
Xuejiao also noticed his watch, looked down at her own, and smiled: "You still have it!"
Lin Zhihua calmly retracted his hand and nodded, "Yes."
In fact, this watch has always made the assistant in charge of his clothes incredible. For Lin Zhihua's level, such a watch is very difficult to match with clothes, especially on important occasions.
But in the past year, Lin Zhihua has never changed his watch, which makes those who know him consider him to be low-key.
A friend from the mall said...
Despite his young age, Lin's boss is not as impetuous as a young man. With such a price, even a watch is not a big name.
Watch, sometimes it is to reflect the identity of a man.
Of course, a long time later, when Xuejiao walked into the venue, they suddenly realized the piece that Xuejiao was carrying.
So this is ah.
Lin Zhihua responded calmly, but Yu Guang stared at Xue Jiao closely, seeing that the other party had no other thoughts.
While relieved, I felt a little disappointed.
The eyes of the people around kept lingering on the two of them. Xuejiao frowned slightly and said to Lin Zhihua, "How about we leave first? Is it enough?"
She shook something in her hand.
Lin Zhihua nodded quickly, as if afraid that she would be late, Xue Jiao changed her mind.
It was not until the two of them walked to the chairs next to the artificial lake not far away that Lin Zhihua was completely relieved.
June is a hot summer day, and the sky is still bright in the evening, but the cool breeze blowing by the lake makes it extraordinarily comfortable.
Xuejiao turned her head and looked straight at Lin Zhihua with her big eyes.
Lin Zhihua's heart skipped a beat.
But he heard the other person say something embarrassed: "Aren't you used to the snack street?"
Xuejiao was really embarrassed, she just sat down and recalled Lin Zhihua's abnormality in the snack street.
He is different from her. He has always lived in a wealthy family, but Xuejiao is not. She has a previous life.
"It's a bit... I don't like crowds..."
"Do you not like crowds?" Xue Jiao was surprised.
Lin Zhihua nodded and looked at her: "But it can be tolerated."
It wasn't possible before, but you can be by your side.
With Xuejiao by his side, his patience will be much better.
Xuejiao apologized embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I don't know, not next time..."
"It's okay." Lin Zhihua reached out and rubbed her head lightly, and quickly retracted her hand with restraint, "Don't apologize to me."
He didn't like to hear her polite thanks and sorry.
Xuejiao smiled, and only felt that it was nice to know Lin Zhihua.
She picked up the chicken wings for rice and handed it to Lin Zhihua, "I really wanted it when I didn't get it before, but when I got it, I didn't feel like I wanted to eat it."
Lin Zhihua took it, opened it in Xuejiao's sight, and fed it stiffly into his mouth.
The strong greasy smell, pepper, and seasoning rushed into his mouth, and at that moment, Lin Zhihua wanted to spit it out.
Seeing his reaction, Xue Jiao smiled and said, "If you don't like it, don't eat it. We'll go to a normal restaurant for dinner later."
Said, opened it, and took a bite.
Immediately, his facial expression stiffened for a moment, and he shook his head. Gu Xuejiao's taste buds... seemed to resist the smell.
"I used to think it was delicious... but it seems to have really changed... The taste is not as I remember it."
What Xuejiao said has changed is that she has changed.
She changed, she turned Gu Xuejiao into Xuejiao in the eyes of everyone.
But in some ways, she seemed to be deeply influenced by Gu Xuejiao.
Xuejiao liked chicken wings and rice in her past life. At that time, she helped kebabs next to the chicken wings.
The aunt who works together after get off work every day will give her two meat skewers, and she will buy another steamed bun, which is dinner.
At that time, the next door was selling chicken wings and rice. The owner's craftsmanship was very good. Both chicken wings and rice were used very well, so it was more expensive than others at 20 yuan.
Xuejiao will not buy such expensive things. The most important thing is that if you can't eat enough chicken wings, you will definitely spend money.
The business next door is very good, and the boss is a fat man with a smile.
At the end of the summer job, Xuejiao rewarded herself to buy one.
It was late that day, and there were no other customers at the stall next door, so she walked over with twenty yuan.
The fat boss picked out the two biggest chicken wings and handed them to her, and said with a smile, "I wanted to invite you to eat for a long time, little classmates, don't be polite, start school and study hard! Try to get a good university entrance exam!"
Xuejiao understood at that moment, the fat boss must have known that she was an orphan.
She didn't refuse and accepted it with a smile.
The fat boss is sincere, she knows, she even knows that if the other party is not afraid of her, she will feel uneasy, and even wish to give money.
That night, Xuejiao ate cherishly on the way back to school.
The memory is very good, very good taste, very delicious.
Xuejiao suffered a lot in her past life and met many good people. They warmed her up and made her feel the wonderful emotion and warmth between people when she was alone.
In this world, there is not only evil in the world again.
There are bad people and there are good people.
She was immersed in the past, placing a hand on top of her head and rubbing it lightly.
"Since it doesn't taste good, don't eat it. Nothing stays the same. Time passes. Some changes are not good, but some changes are good. We don't need to be immersed in the past. People are looking forward. It will change, for the better or for the worse, you can decide for yourself.”
Xuejiao froze for a moment, blinked her eyes, took back the wetness, and nodded her head, "Okay!"
She paused, smiled and said, "But I still want to finish it."
And then... probably won't eat...
The memory belonging to Xuejiao should stay in the memory.
Lin Zhihua withdrew his hand and raised his eyebrows: "I think it's okay, it's a very novel taste, let's eat it together."
After the two finished the chicken wings and the rice together, and the potatoes, Xuejiao picked up the squid.
Probably because of the weather and strange mood, Xuejiao wanted to talk about it, she looked at the squid and said, "I don't really like to eat squid, but the person I am most grateful for used to sell squid. I can't see him anymore, but I am very I like to eat squid."
Like the taste of squid, and like to eat squid is not the same.
She likes to eat, and just likes to eat.
Xuejiao was adopted when she was very young. She remembers that she was very hungry, that she was thrown out in the dark, and that an old man who was pushing a cart picked her up and put her on a small cart.
That's her grandfather... an old squid seller.
He never admitted to being her grandfather, but she always respected him as much as he was.
It was the old man who told her to study, to go out, and to work hard to live a wonderful life.
He sells grilled squid for her to read to the fourth grade of elementary school. Grandpa's craftsmanship is very good, but he is very old, and many people will not buy his grilled squid. So that the business is very cold, just enough to save money for her to study.
Her hukou is in the countryside with the elderly, and it is expensive to study in the city, but he still provides for her.
Later... He got cancer.
Xuejiao was going to drop out of school and come back to treat him. On the Friday when he and the teacher proposed to drop out of school for the first time, when he came back, he only saw the household registration book, a stack of odds and ends, and a piece of paper that said... Study hard, take the test University.
He left by himself.
He didn't want to drag her down.
Xuejiao knew, but Xuejiao was sad.
Since then, Xuejiao has no relatives.
Around the end of elementary school, the police station informed her that the old man had already died, and she had not seen the body.
There are many tragic things in this world, you will never be the most miserable one, but in them, you will still feel hopeless and miserable to the point of not finding the meaning of life.
Xuejiao ate the squid bit by bit, but she didn't cry.
Lin Zhihua followed her movements without saying anything and accompanied her silently.
"Why do you feel full, what else do you want to eat?" Xue Jiao blinked and looked at Lin Zhihua.
Lin Zhihua was silent for a moment, his stomach was a little uncomfortable, but what was more uncomfortable was his heart.
When he just ate squid, he knew that Xuejiao was very uncomfortable at that time, and there was something she couldn't say.
He couldn't ask, and he didn't dare to ask.
Lin Zhihua opened his mouth slowly: "I'm full too."
Xuejiao showed an embarrassed smile: "I said I would invite you to eat, but I didn't really invite you to eat..."
"Enough is enough, I have a different experience today, I am very happy." Lin Zhihua smiled, he was very happy that he seemed to have touched Xuejiao's past, but it was also very uncomfortable, because he knew... that the memory of the past may not be so good.
In such a traumatic world, he wanted to go there and hugged her tightly.
And I really want her to forget, never to think about the things that made her so sad.
"I'll invite you to eat again later!"
Lin Zhihua didn't speak. After a while, he said softly, "I don't know what you are thinking, but I think that the past should still be in the past, look forward, realize your dreams, and make up for some regrets that can be made up."
His eyes were serious, staring straight at Xue Jiao's eyes, with worry and encouragement.
Something rose in Xuejiao's heart for a moment, but it was soon overwhelmed by warmth.
"good… "
She should move forward. Those who have given her warmth in the past all hope that she can live well and... have a new life.
Xue Jiao cheered up and glanced at the time, it was already a little late.
She opened her mouth, ready to say goodbye to Lin Zhihua.
"Ding ding ding..." The phone rang suddenly.
Xuejiao froze for a moment, picked it up, an unfamiliar number.
"Hello? Who is it?"
The voice on the other end of the phone was cold, with a chill: "Gu Xuejiao, I'm Gu Shiyun."
Xuejiao was taken aback, "Gu Shiyun?"
Lin Zhihua raised her eyebrows and made a gesture to signal her to turn on the amplifier.
He wants to listen, what does this guy want to do
Xuejiao obediently opened it.
Gu Shiyun's scheming can probably be played with Lin Zhihua's head...
The voice on the other side gritted his teeth: "Is the man who picked you up today the one who brought down Dad's company? Was he the one behind the scenes who investigated me and helped you post a clarification?"
