MTL - After Wearing the Book, I Was Played By Black Lotus-Chapter 37
?When he saw clearly who the person Bai Xiying was following was, Lin Xingzhu was taken aback.
??Why did Bai Xiying suddenly follow Xie Yunya?
?? Lin Xingzhu narrowed his eyes slightly, his mind was full of thoughts.
??She followed Bai Xiying at a not too far distance, and the same was true of Bai Xiying in front of her, following Xie Yunya who was pushing the wheelchair not too far away.
?? Soon, a tall man popped out next to Xie Yunya who was walking in the front of the square. His lowered profile looked vaguely familiar. Lin Xingzhu took a second look and recognized that it was Xie Yunya who was called Xie Yunya in the corridor of KTV that day Brother's man.
??It seems that Xie Yunya should come out alone in the middle of the night to bring home her cousin who was fooling around outside, just like she was in the KTV that night.
??Lin Xingzhu glanced at Xie Yunya who was being pushed by her cousin. She was too far away, and she couldn't hear what they were saying clearly, but she could clearly tell from their posture that Xie Yunya was teaching her cousin a lesson.
?? It's hard for her to run out in the middle of the night to catch people because her legs and feet are not convenient.
?? But Xie Yunya went out in the middle of the night to call her cousin home, and why did Bai Xiying go out in the middle of the night?
??Lin Xingzhu looked deeply at the figure soaked in the night. She stood in the shadow of avoiding light. The thick black made her almost integrated with the environment. If she hadn't been paying attention, she might be like those scattered people. Like a passer-by, passing a cursory glance.
?? At this moment, those deep-seated doubts resurfaced, Lin Xingzhu closed his eyes, his expression was complicated, and the secret about Bai Xiying in his heart added a thick layer.
?? She is clearly an ordinary college graduate, isn't she? Even if the author of the original work gave her the setting of the heroine of Shiwen, as the plot begins, all these "talents" and "abilities" will only be reflected in the corresponding fields, instead of making her as secret as she is now , with a sophisticated and treacherous figure.
?? Lin Xingzhu walked lightly and followed Bai Xiying slowly in the night until Xie Yunya seemed to have arrived at her destination and was pushed into the community by her cousin.
??She saw Bai Xiying standing a few meters away from the neighborhood and watching for a while, then turned and left.
??It was almost late at night, Lin Xingzhu was wearing the cool moonlight, and it was a while after Bai Xiying returned to the apartment before returning home.
?? After returning home, Lin Xingzhu casually put his coats together, washed up a little and threw himself into the soft big bed.
??The softness under her body makes her body feel relaxed, especially in a dark environment, it is easier to induce drowsiness.
?? But her nerves were tense like never before, and her mind was jumping all the time, exploring the remains of all the plates.
??Lin Xingzhu recalled over and over again the scene in the KTV corridor that night.
??She and Mu Muqing's confrontation, Mu Muqing and Xie Yunya's eye contact, Bai Xiying and Xie Yunya's greetings in a few words...
??Um?
??Lin Xingzhu rubbed the center of his brows, and suddenly paused with his raised hand.
??—"Sister, why are you here?"
??—"I'm here to find my cousin."
?? Memory fragments stay at this moment.
?? Lin Xingzhu slowed down his breathing. Looking back carefully, it seemed that Bai Xiying asked "cousin" back in a little surprise.
??Lin Xingzhu's memory has always been good. She remembered that Bai Xiying was greeting Xie Yunya at that time, so she took a step back and stood behind Bai Xiying, so she couldn't see the specifics of Bai Xiying's words. Expressive.
??But the tone of her rhetorical question, if you look at it carefully now, there seems to be something wrong.
?? With a hint of surprise, and an indescribable sense of astonishment.
?? Seemed to be... that feeling of being confronted by someone who shouldn't exist.
?? This is not right.
?? When a normal person meets a relative of someone they know, even if it is the first time they meet, their emotions and reactions are nothing more than surprise or indifference, but no matter what kind of emotion, it should be peaceful and natural.
?? Instead of being like Bai Xiying, standing opposite is a person who should not exist.
?? This feeling seems to be that the other party should not exist in her cognition, but that person appeared without any preparation for her.
??Since this happened, it can only mean that there is a problem with Bai Xiying's memory.
??After all, the reaction of Xie Yunya and her cousin was that it was the first time they met, didn't they??
What's even more weird is that one night not long after, Bai Xiying followed Xie Yunya in full armor.
?? After thinking for a long time, Lin Xingzhu leaned on the bed alone and thought in a daze.
??She knew that Bai Xiying was not simple, but had a deeper and more secret secret. But now Lin Xingzhu couldn't observe all this calmly as before.
?? After a while, Lin Xingzhu suddenly raised her head. She seemed to have thought of something, her eyes shrank suddenly, and her back felt cold.
??The long memory was flipped back, it was a murmur almost mixed with confusion and astonishment—
?? "Why are you here?"
??*
?? The next morning, the weather was fine.
??Lin Xingzhu was driving on a familiar road, and Bai Xiying, who was still slightly awake, was sitting in the co-pilot.
?? She glanced sideways and saw that Bai Xiying's eyes were a little dark, and she didn't make a sound to disturb her.
?? After Bai Xiying returned to the apartment last night, she looked at the time. It was past eleven o'clock, and she had to wash and clean up after returning. Maybe this person with eight hundred characters was still thinking and calculating alone in the room. What, Lin Lin finally figured it out. Looking at it this way, she really didn't have much sleep time.
??Lin Xingzhu turned his head and looked at the evergreen plants on both sides of the road. Their leaves are green all year round, making it impossible to distinguish the season simply by the color of the leaves.
?? But Lin Xingzhu glanced at the calendar when she went out in the morning, and the autumnal equinox would be around soon, which meant that she almost came to this world to spend a summer.
?? Time flies so fast.
?? When the hurricane was approaching, Lin Xingzhu woke up the squinting Bai Xiying.
?? "Did you have breakfast this morning?"
??Bai Xiying rubbed her sleepy eyes, and said vaguely: "No." After she finished speaking, she put down her hand and sniffed her nose, and asked, "What? You brought it?"
??Lin Xingzhu smiled lightly, and said in a clear voice, "You think too much, I didn't bring it."
From the corner of the eye, Lin Xingzhu caught a glimpse of the person's pursed mouth. While waiting for her to loosen her seat belt to pick up something, Lin Xingzhu said lightly, "Although the competition is important, we should try our best to avoid staying up too late at night, after all, the body is the most important thing. yes, right?"
?? She looked at Bai Xiying with a fixed head, "Your body is broken, but you can't do anything."
??Bai Xiying hesitated for a moment, she felt that Lin Xingzhu's tone was inexplicably serious.
??Then she suddenly remembered the black-bone chicken soup a few days ago. Bai Xiying's face froze inexplicably, and said in a choked voice, "That's true. You said I was serious, but you have to pay attention to it yourself. I have been physically weak for a few days, but it is more serious than me."
??Bai Xiying pointed to the same blue and black color that was extremely obvious on Lin Xingzhu's pale complexion, and smiled slightly with curved lips.
?? Lin Xingzhu touched his eyes subconsciously, and secretly made a mistake.
??She only thought about Bai Xiying, but forgot that she didn't sleep very early either.
??Looking at the triumphant Bai Xiying, the curve of Lin Xingzhu's lips was flattened, and she didn't know who caused her to be like this.
?? But Lin Xingzhu really wanted to clarify that his nosebleed that day was not due to inadequacy, but because he was too angry!
?? But I missed the best time for clarification, and if I talk about it now, it will feel like it is getting darker and darker.
??So looking at Bai Xiying's sly eyes, Lin Xingzhu smiled: "I am different from you. I ate breakfast."
??Bai Xiying: "..."
??She forgot that Lin Xingzhu in front of her seemed to love life more than herself, not to mention that she was also a good cook. It's not a problem at all to make a simple breakfast for yourself.
??Inexplicably, the scene of Lin Xingzhu wearing his apron and stewing soup flashed before his eyes two days ago.
??Bai Xiying glanced at her, and said with emotions that she didn't even know: "Heh, if someone cooks for me, I would also like to have breakfast on time every day."
?? Lin Xingzhu paused his fingers for these words, and recovered in the next second.
?? "Your wish is not difficult to come true." She staggered Bai Xiying's throwing gaze back, "You only need to spend money to complete it, and you will also get various types of breakfast."
?? "Everything, countless." Lin Xingzhu added.
??Bai Xiying: "..."
?? A subtle unhappiness flashed in her heart.
??Bai Xiying didn't know why she felt subtly upset that her expectations had been disappointed. She took a deep breath, "You're right." After saying this, she opened the door and got out of the car.
?? Lin Xingzhu was sitting in the car, seeing her and the colleagues she met entering the office building chatting and laughing, she laughed silently, but in an instant, her eyes were filled with deep thought.
?? Back in the office, Assistant Lin, who had finished arranging work, was about to go out when Lin Xingzhu suddenly stopped her.
?? "Do you have time for breakfast every morning?"
?? Lin Tezhu was stunned for a moment, not understanding the meaning of Lin Xingzhu's sudden question, but she thought about it and said truthfully: "Depending on the situation, sometimes you will eat and sometimes you won't."
??For Special Assistant Lin, sleep before getting up early in the morning is far more important than breakfast.
"That's it." Lin Xingzhu nodded, "Is it because I often don't have time in the morning so I sometimes don't have breakfast?"
??Xingyuan will provide employees with lunch and dinner, but they will not provide breakfast. At most, they will provide tea time for employees around ten o'clock.
Seeing Assistant Lin nodding, Lin Xingzhu smiled. She glanced out the window and asked casually, "If there is a breakfast shop near the company, will it not only save you time but also allow you to have breakfast?"
Lin Tezhu was stunned for a moment, she thought for a while, and said, "If you are very close to the company and drop in, it will indeed be like this."
?? There are restaurants near this building, but there is no breakfast shop. Even if there is, it may be far away from Xingyuan. In order to clock in and go to work on time, everyone usually endures until the tea time comes to rest their stomachs.
??But the company provides coffee and tea all the year round, and people sometimes bring their own brewed drinks. From this point of view, the demand for breakfast is actually not that great.
?? Lin Tezhu was silent for a while, looked at Lin Xingzhu's deep thought, and hesitated: "But in fact, everyone's demand for breakfast is not particularly great."
?? She wanted to say that if Mr. Lin wants to open a breakfast restaurant, he should think about it again. It is very important to see the market demand!
?? Lin Xingzhu smiled: "The demand is not big, but it doesn't mean that breakfast is not important. If you have the conditions, you should take good care of your body."
After finishing speaking, Lin Xingzhu ordered her again: "Help me keep an eye on the vicinity of the company..."
??She stood by the window with Assistant Lin and pointed her down. The area she pointed to was just in the middle of the hurricane and Xingyuan, on the road she usually walked to work, and continued: "Help me find out Let’s find out if there are any shops in this area that you want to rent out, you have to rely on the road, it’s better to be here. The speed is better, and the price is not a problem.”
?? Assistant Lin: "..."
??The co-author really wants to open a breakfast shop!
?? She smiled wryly. She could already predict that the business would be bleak after Mr. Lin opened the shop. But the boss had spoken, so she had to follow suit.
?? Special assistant Lin nodded solemnly: "Alright Mr. Lin."
?? Lin Xingzhu: "Work hard, next month's salary will be increased by half."
?? She is not one of those people who just ask people to do things without getting paid, let alone let her assistant do her own private affairs.
?? But looking at it this way, when it's time to go to Tianqi, the life assistant will also be arranged.
?? Lin Tezhu straightened his back and became more motivated: "Don't worry, Mr. Lin, I will definitely handle the things you told me!"
??Don't worry, boss, I will definitely choose the site carefully, and I will never let you suffer too badly! Assistant Lin muttered silently in his heart.
?? Patted her on the shoulder, and watched the assistant close the door and leave, Lin Xingzhu looked away. His light eyes wandered around the area she pointed at before returning to sit behind the desk.
Lin Xingzhu has never forgotten the doctor's sentence "The body is weak and needs to be replenished", but the current relationship between her and Bai Xiying is not suitable for her to really respond to what Bai Xiying said in the car this morning talk.
??She hoped that Bai Xiying would have a healthy breakfast and take care of her frail body. Since she couldn't do it herself, she would spend money to buy it.
?? Lin Xingzhu smiled. Since she would eat breakfast every day as long as someone is willing to make it for her, I hope she can really do it.
?? Smiling, she suddenly thought of the unbelievable guess that flashed through her mind last night, and the smile on her lips slowly tightened.
?? "Bai Xiying..."
?? The low voice was blown by the wind and dissipated in the air.
??Who are you? Or, where are you from?
??In the next few days, whenever night fell, Lin Xingzhu deliberately rushed back to the apartment early, prepared everything, and waited by the door to watch the elevator go up and down.
?? Every time, she can catch the back of Bai Xiying who hurried out late at night, and then follow her with ease.
?? Lin Xingzhu didn't understand what Bai Xiying wanted to do, but her route was almost the same every time, and her destination was basically near Xie Yunya's community.
Gradually, Lin Xingzhu understood that Bai Xiying was not so much following Xie Yunya as she was monitoring Xie Yunya loosely.
??Bai Xiying didn't follow her around the clock. She only changed into a suit of clothes that were convenient for her to follow after nightfall. If she met Xie Yunya and didn't go out, she would take a few laps around her community , look at the time and then take a taxi back.
??At the same time, Lin Xingzhu knew that Bai Xiying had been preparing for the competition, but she had to be busy with work during the day and play tracking at night. It seemed that she stayed up more and more nights, and the blue and black were also very obvious.
?? Another morning, Lin Xingzhu pursed his lips and handed the breakfast he bought in advance to Bai Xiying who got into the car.
??Bai Xiying took the meal bag, and the aroma of the food hit her empty stomach, but she didn't open it, but turned to look at Lin Xingzhu, who was concentrating on driving, and blinked slightly, "It's mine. Is it an illusion? Why are your dark circles getting heavier?"
??Preventing Lin Xingzhu from talking about herself, Bai Xiying took the lead and said: "My dark circles are for staying up late to paint, what did you do?"
?? "..."
?? Lin Xingzhu's heart lingered for a long time.
??"Insomnia."
?? Lin Xingzhu said: "Every night, there is a fox walking around in front of my eyes, and I can't sleep."
??Bai Xiying had a strange expression: "I only heard that you can count sheep when you can't fall asleep, but I haven't heard that you can count foxes."
?? Lin Xingzhu: "The number is not the same? Anyway, I can't sleep."
??Bai Xiying took a bite of the steamed stuffed bun, and the aroma of meat immediately overflowed her lips and teeth, "In the future, if you suffer from insomnia, drink a cup of warm milk before going to bed, or soak your feet in hot water to relax your body. Fall asleep fast."
?? After she finished speaking, she took another bite of the steamed stuffed bun. I don't know where Lin Xingzhu bought the steamed stuffed bun. It tastes delicious.
??Lin Xingzhu remained expressionless, and said casually, "You are quite experienced."
?? "You can find it if you check it online." Bai Xiying narrowed her eyes and said calmly.
?? But who is free to check this?
??Thinking of this, Lin Xingzhu nodded and hummed.
?? Bai Xiying glanced down, glanced at her dirt-stained shoes, and asked after eating a bun, "Where did you buy this bun? It's delicious."
?? Mentioning this, Lin Xingzhu's expression was a little relaxed, and he turned his head and asked, "Where's the porridge? Is it to your liking?"
"It's all to my liking, I like it very much." Said Bai Xiying straightened the straw and took another sip.
??The muscles in the corners of his eyes relaxed, and Lin Xingzhu showed a soothing smile.
??"nice! You love it."
??Two days ago, she had asked Assistant Lin to finalize the store affairs. Lin Xingzhu hired a chef specially. The breakfast that Bai Xiying ate today was made by the chef who will be appointed in the new store.
?? In a few days, the breakfast restaurant that has been urgently renovated can open for business.
?? At this time, Bai Xiying also finished the breakfast brought by Lin Xingzhu. She enjoyed the feeling of fullness in her stomach and pulled down some windows. The air-conditioned wind immediately blew away her hair behind her ears.
After a while, Bai Xiying said, "It rained yesterday, and the weather is getting cooler every day."
??The incoming wind penetrates space and distance, and blows Lin Xingzhu's loose hair unceremoniously. She echoed Bai Xiying's words and sighed: "Yes, autumn will soon be here."
?? This will also be the first autumn she encountered in this world.
??Bai Xiying propped her arm against the window, she turned her head, Lin Xingzhu's hair was lingering around her face along with the wind, and there was a faint orange fragrance surging, making her face itchy.
??She stretched out her hand to grab it, then let it go gently, letting her calm thoughts fly freely with it.
??A heavy rain yesterday washed the floor and wet the ground. Bai Xiying still remembered the smell of soil when walking through the park last night. It was a very different and fresh enough feeling.
?? That's why when she returned to the apartment, she found that her feet were stained with mud. She changed a pair of shoes in the morning, and planned to clean the pair of shoes last night when she got home from get off work today.
?? There is also a lawn in the community, but Lin Xingzhu has a personality like this, but he is a practitioner of caring for the environment. How could he trample on the lawn for no reason?
??Bai Xiying tilted her head, her light eyes looked in the direction of her hair, Lin Xingzhu's pretty side face had a feeling of being out of dust under the hazy sunlight.
??It's so clear and peaceful that it seems that it can't do anything about stalking people quietly in the middle of the night.
??So are you doubting me again?
?? Do you want to move quietly and grab my tail?
??Bai Xiying didn't know, she looked away, remembering the prying eyes she felt yesterday, a faint and treacherous smile rose on her lips.
??If it is true, Bai Xiying doesn't mind, she even has a secret, unspeakable sense of pleasure, the feeling of meeting an opponent and the adrenaline soaring makes her addicted.
??She never forgot Lin Xingzhu's keenness and intelligence. Bai Xiying was not unaware of every verbal confrontation between them in the past, but she still chose to continue with Lin Xingzhu.
?? After all, when she was reborn, it was Lin Xingzhu, the "unexpected existence", that caught her attention.
?? What's the point if she's dealing with someone who's stupid and dull? The joy and excitement will be greatly reduced.
?? If it's not true... Bai Xiying lowered her eyes, and the curvature of her lips remained the same. If it wasn't true, the mud spots under Lin Xingzhu's feet just happened to step into other places by accident, then it doesn't matter.
??Bai Xiying thought to herself, the breakfast Lin Xingzhu bought was delicious, and the happiness and satisfaction still existed and did not diminish.
