delayed love

Chapter 156 You Double Standard
At the door, Lin Xi searched for a long time before finding the key in a flower bed.

Since the parents left, the servants at home have also been dismissed, and no one has been here for many years.

This key was left by Lin Xi before going abroad.

After years of wind and rain, the door opened automatically, making a creaking sound.

Lin Xi stood at the door without taking the next step, until Qin Yu beside her said, "Go in."

As if waking up from a dream, Lin Xi responded and followed his footsteps.

From the courtyard to the main entrance, the distance seems to be longer than Lin Xi imagined.

The yard is full of weeds, and two wild flowers can be vaguely seen, and the swing chair beside it is also rusty.

Her memory of this place is still at the age of 16.

When she was younger, she lived in the compound more often.She started living here with her parents around junior high school, but every now and then, she would sneak back to the courtyard.

Walking to the main entrance, Lin Xi took out another key and opened the door.

The door was pushed open, and the door panel shook a layer of dust.

"Cough..." Lin Xi stood towards Qin Yu.

The house of Lin Xi's parents, counting the ground floor, has five floors in total, and the area is very large.Lin Xi didn't plan to visit all of them, she just wanted to go back to her father's study to have a look.

The study is on the second floor.

The doors of the room were all open, Lin Xi went in and touched the table, dust in his hands.

Since she left, no one has really been here.There is no trace at all.

Unlike other people who like to put some expensive ornaments on their desks, there are many photo frames on my father's desk. In addition, there is a pen holder with two brushes hanging on it.

Lin Xi picked up the photos one by one and wiped them carefully.

"Want to take it away?"

Qin Yu looked at the photos on the table and asked.

"Just take this one." Lin Xi didn't want to take all of them away, so she only chose one of the group photos and wanted to put it in her apartment.

She is carrying a tote bag today, which is more than enough for a photo frame.

The two didn't stay for long. Before leaving, Lin Xi glanced at the backyard.

In the yard, the rose flowers planted by his father for his mother were still blooming. Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, "It's been so many years, and they're still alive."

Mother heard that she liked rose flowers, so my father opened up a piece of land in the backyard and planted them all with roses.

Of course, not many survive now, and only a few bloom well.

Qin Yu glanced at it, "Someone will come to water it regularly."

"Huh?" Lin Xi quickly guessed that it was his handwriting, but she was still curious: "Does the third brother have the key?"

"No."

Qin Yu motioned her to look at the opposite fence: "I used another method to rain water on the partition wall outside the yard."

"..." Lin Xi was surprised but also thanked her.

In the end, Lin Xi took one of them away and sent it to her parents.

It was almost noon when we came out of the cemetery.

Lin Xi looked at the time, "If the third brother is fine, let's have a meal together."

She took the initiative to invite her, so there was no reason why Qin Yu didn't have time.

The two chose a French restaurant with a quiet atmosphere, perfect for chatting.

In the middle, Qin Yu left his seat to take a work call.Lin Xi had almost eaten, and stared at the floor-to-ceiling windows in a daze.

Someone sat down in the empty seat next to him suddenly, and a strong sweet smell came over his face.

It was Su Ran again.

Lin Xi was very sensitive to smells, so she knew it was her without looking up.

She has gone from speechless to numb.

Seeing her looking over, Su Ran waved, "Hi."

"Following Qin Yu?"

Su Ran shook her head and said calmly, "No. Of course I'm following you."

Lin Xi glanced at her, leaned back, helplessly: "What are you going to do, Qin Yu is over there."

She pointed Su Ran in a direction.

"I told you I didn't come to find him." Su Ran smiled at her.

She and Lin Xi are not in the same style at all.Lin Xi is the cold and cold sister Yu, while Su Ran is sweet and young. She looks like a sweet girl when she smiles, which can easily soften people's hearts.

Her trick has been tried and tested on others.Only here it doesn't work for Lin Xi.

Lin Xi really didn't like her, and there was no disturbance in her heart.

Playing cute and tricks won't work, so Su Ran can only go straight to the point, and said concisely: "Add a WeChat account, and I'll leave after adding it."

"..." Lin Xi frowned slightly.

Seeing this, Su Ran hurriedly stretched out her hand and made an oath, "Really, I will go back to Huai City after the addition, and I will never disturb you."

"I don't have WeChat."

"Sister, this excuse has been used so badly, who would believe it, you have to make up a decent one anyway."

Lin Xi didn't change his face: "I have given you a clear answer. As for whether you believe it or not, that's your business, and it has nothing to do with me."

"..."

Only then did Su Ran realize what Lin Xi meant.

Lin Xi knew that this excuse was fake, bad, and perfunctory, but her purpose was never whether others would believe what she said, but that she had already answered it out of politeness. They've already given you a lot of face.

If the other party pesters her again, it will be shameless.

That's right, she is Lin Xi, so she doesn't need to worry about whether what she said will arouse others' suspicion. For her, it's enough to get along on the surface.Ordinary people dare not tear her down.

Su Ran clicked her tongue, "You are really a little different from what I thought."

"Is there always a phone? Give me a number."

"We don't know each other. From my point of view, there is no need to contact us." Lin Xi looked sideways, looked her up and down, and was rarely curious: "Since your attention to us is not for Qin Yu, then you still want to What?"

"I think you are very interesting, didn't I tell you last time, I like you very much!"

"..."

Lin Xi couldn't be happy at all.She gradually realized the seriousness of the problem, "The 'like' in your mouth is like that to Qin Yu'

like'? "

This is a question for Su Ran.The latter thought about it carefully, then shook his head, "It doesn't count. I like you because I want to be friends with you, of course... If you can be my sister-in-law, that would be great!"

Su Ran took out his mobile phone and showed Lin Xi the photos, "Look, this is my own brother, he is only one year older than you, and he has the same major as yours. If my dad didn't agree, he might be with you now. You are also a companion."

"Look, handsome." Su Ran tried her best to sell: "Although she is a little inferior to Qin Yu, but it's not the same style. I think my brother's style is more suitable for you."

"I observed carefully just now. You and Qin Yu didn't communicate much the whole time. You don't talk, and he doesn't talk. If the two of you are together, how boring your daily life will be."

"With my brother, it's completely different. You'll be twice as happy! Because of me!"

"Thank you." Lin Xi pushed her phone back, "But I have no idea about that."

"What about Qin Yu? You have double standards."
