Film and TV: Starting from childhood, I will give up Zhong Yi

Chapter 341 What kind of empty promises are you making to me?

As soon as Lin Yuan stepped out of the construction site, he saw Lillian on the roadside not far away. He strode over to her, put his hand on her shoulder, and said with a hint of dissatisfaction in his voice, "Didn't I tell you to wait for me? Why are you running so fast?"

Lillian stopped in her tracks, her voice tinged with bitterness: "Why are you looking for me instead of going to be with Jiang Nansun?"

Her first kiss was unexpectedly stolen by Lin Yuan. Before she could even express her dissatisfaction, Lin Yuan immediately turned around and comforted Jiang Nansun.

Although she pretended to be indifferent, she couldn't suppress the jealousy surging in her heart.

She didn't take Wang Yongzheng's words to heart. On the contrary, she clearly saw how much Lin Yuan valued and cared about Jiang Nansun.

Lin Yuan asked with a smile, "Why do I feel so sour? Is it because I'm jealous of Jiang Nansun?"

"Who's jealous?" Lillian turned her face away and retorted, "Do you think someone as outgoing and passionate as me is inferior to someone as quiet and artistic as her?"

Although he genuinely felt inferior, Lin Yuan wouldn't say it out loud.

Lillian suddenly felt a tightening around her waist.

But she discovered that it was Lin Yuan who hugged her from behind.

Lin Yuan lowered his head and gently bit her earlobe, his voice soft and gentle: "Who says you're inferior? I like your type even more. If we don't send her back, are we going to let her bother us? You said last time that you have a hot body, how about we find a place so I can take a good look at you?"

As they spoke, Lin Yuan's hand, which was around her lower abdomen, slowly moved upwards, carrying a blatantly ambiguous tone.

Lillian was already used to Lin Yuan taking advantage of her from time to time, but since it was broad daylight and on the street, she still felt a little uncomfortable.

She struggled slightly, and Lin Yuan released her, leaving her feeling inexplicably empty inside.

"Stop touching me like that." Lillian said sternly. "I haven't settled the score with you for kissing me just now."

Lin Yuan said with a smile, "Didn't you respond to me? If you want to kiss me again, I don't mind."

Lillian was a little annoyed by his nonchalant attitude. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and with a mix of embarrassment and probing, she whispered, "That was my first kiss."

Lin Yuan didn't respond to her words, nor did he say anything to express his appreciation or show any apology. He simply took her hand and walked towards the parking area, saying indifferently, "Get in my car."

Lillian didn't struggle anymore and got into the car with Lin Yuan.

The car was driving smoothly when Lillian glanced at him and asked, "Where are we going?"

"You just got rejected by someone you like, you need to find a place to vent." Lin Yuan glanced at her, a hint of teasing in his voice. "See how considerate I am?"

Lillian glared at him resentfully. This man had taken full advantage of her, and now he was making it sound so easy for her, while she was speechless.

You can't very well tell him to take responsibility for you, can you?

If she were to get together with Lin Yuan now, it would seem as if she were settling for second best and being unfaithful.

Besides, given Lin Yuan's carefree and irreverent attitude, it's uncertain how much sincerity he might have towards her.

This made her even more conflicted.

She secretly cheered herself up, determined that if Lin Yuan made any physical contact with her again, she would refuse him firmly or find out his true feelings for her.

Lin Yuan parked the car, then casually placed his hand on Lillian's back, gently pushing her forward, and said with a smile, "Go inside and shout a few times to vent your frustrations."

Lillian glanced at the entrance of the KTV and exclaimed in realization, "You mean this place?"

"Otherwise, what did you think it was, oh~ like last time at my house?" Lin Yuan suddenly realized, lowered his voice, and teased, "That wasn't venting, it was... a torrent."

Remembering how utterly defeated she was by Lin Yuan's fingertips last time, Lillian felt ashamed to face him. "I don't want to sing."

Lin Yuan half-pulled Lillian into the KTV, his tone leaving no room for argument: "Since we're already here..."

The KTV room was dimly lit, with colorful light balls slowly rotating and red and blue light spots flickering on the sofa and walls.

An old song with the original singer was playing on the screen. Lillian held the microphone but didn't speak directly. She just hummed along to the melody.

Lin Yuan sat down next to Lillian, and as he raised his hand in mid-air, he subconsciously wanted to put it on her shoulder.

Lillian immediately moved to the side and slapped his hand away, the force not strong, but her attitude was clear.

Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly, a smile playing on his lips: "Do we need to be so formal with each other?"

Lillian looked up, her tone suddenly serious: "What's our relationship?"

Lin Yuan replied casually, "If you're lonely, I can help you relieve your boredom."

“I don’t need it.” Lillian’s voice carried a hint of unspeakable disappointment.

This was not the answer she wanted to hear.

Lin Yuan laughed instead, leaning closer to her: "So what kind of relationship do you want with me?"

Lillian pursed her lips and didn't reply.

She couldn't quite say whether she wanted to clarify their relationship or see something different in Lin Yuan's eyes.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan stopped joking and became much more serious. He actually picked up a microphone and started singing.

Lin Yuan's voice was very pleasant, with a touch of nonchalant magnetism, which made Lillian gradually relax and sing along with the melody as she listened.

After a few songs, seeing that Lillian's guard had lowered, Lin Yuan moved closer to her, only to bump her plump thigh with his knee. "Weren't you quite proactive at my house last time? Why are you so distant this time? Are you shy?"

"Last time... there was something bad in it."

Lillian didn't dare to mention it much; the chilling feeling still made her shudder, and she was afraid that mentioning it would attract the evil spirits again.

"I live there every day, how come I haven't encountered anything bad?" Lin Yuan scoffed, his tone full of disbelief. "That's such a lame excuse."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yuan suddenly leaned down and, without saying a word, placed her two long legs on his knees, pressing his hands on her knees so that she could not move them.

Lillian exclaimed urgently, "It's true!"

Although it's hard to believe, she wasn't lying.

"Can't you just assume there's something unclean involved this time too?"

Lin Yuan's voice was low and seductive. He gently pulled her into his arms and kneaded her through the thin fabric of her clothes. "Have you forgotten how happy you were last time?"

Lillian's body went limp, as if all her strength had been drained away.

Lillian looked up and asked, "Do you like me?"

"If I didn't like you, would I treat you like this?"

These words were like a fine needle, gently piercing through her defenses, and her resistance gradually weakened.

Lin Yuan lifted the hem of her clothes with his fingertips, a playful glint in his eyes: "I admit, you are indeed quite hot."

Last time, in the dark, although he had measured the area, he hadn't really looked at it properly.

His large hand moved down along his navel.

"So, shouldn't it be my turn next?" Lin Yuan leaned forward, his breath brushing against her ear. Lillian snapped back to reality, her face flushing red: "No."

It absolutely cannot be in a place like a karaoke bar.

Lin Yuan gently stroked the back of her head, pulling her towards him with an irresistible force.

……

As the two walked out of the KTV, the evening breeze carried a hint of heat.

After being humiliated by Lin Yuan, Lillian's voice trembled as she asked, "Do you really like me?"

"Of course," Lin Yuan said frankly, then paused and added, "No one dislikes a beautiful girl."

“But you just now…” Lillian’s voice trailed off as those intimate images flashed through her mind, making her cheeks burn even hotter.

"We didn't do anything out of line just now, we were just attracted to each other and helped each other out," Lin Yuan said casually, emphasizing the word "attracted," then smiled, "You're not trying to rush into making our relationship official, are you?"

"Is it not okay?" Lillian looked up at him, a hint of stubbornness in her eyes.

“A healthy relationship must first stand the test of time. How do I know if you're serious? Relationships aren't something to be taken lightly. What if you only want to be with me because Wang Yongzheng rejected you?”

Lillian retorted defiantly, her voice suddenly rising: "You did that to me!"

"I was afraid you'd be feeling down, so I wanted you to relax and be happy like last time. Can you honestly say you weren't happy just now?" Lin Yuan spoke with righteous indignation and self-righteousness. "If I really wanted your body, I would have taken advantage of you long ago. Do you think you could have escaped?"

Lillian was speechless, her lips moved before she managed to squeeze out, "But you also..."

"No buts." Lin Yuan cupped her cheeks in his hands and rubbed her cheekbone with his thumbs. "I'm in Shanghai, I'm not going to disappear into thin air. If you really care about me, just come find me."

Lin Yuan didn't have dinner with Lillian; he just dropped her off at the entrance of her residential complex and drove away.

When I got home, Zhu Suosuo had already left.

The bedroom was tidied up neatly and cleanly.

Lin Yuan chatted with Zhu Suosuo on WeChat for a while and praised her. Zhu Suosuo was overjoyed to receive the praise.

After chatting with her for a while, Lin Yuan received a message from April, who wanted to invite him to go out for a walk together the next day.

He had no plans for tomorrow, so he readily agreed.

Since the big waves have come to us willingly, there's no reason for us to push them away.

……

Jiang Nansun, who had been busy all day at the Songjiang Hotel, finally made it to the end of her shift.

Zhang Anren had been waiting here for Jiang Nansun to get off work.

Hearing that Lin Yuan had escorted Jiang Nansun back and forth yesterday, he felt both nervous and flustered. Compared to Lin Yuan, he had no advantage whatsoever. He could only try his best to stay by Lin Yuan's side and not leave him for a moment, trying not to give Lin Yuan any opportunities.

When the two arrived home by taxi, Jiang Pengfei was standing at the door.

When he saw the two of them walking side by side, his face was so dark it could drip water. He only breathed a slight sigh of relief when he saw that they weren't holding hands.

How did you get back?

Jiang Nansun pursed his lips and did not respond.

Zhang Anren quickly replied with a smile, "Uncle, we just took a taxi back from the construction site."

"A taxi must cost a lot of money, right?"

"A little over a hundred."

Did you pay for this?

Zhang Anren's smile froze for a moment, and he said awkwardly, "It was Nansun who made it."

"Looks like you still have some pocket money." Jiang Pengfei glanced at his daughter, then looked at Zhang Anren, his tone barbed. "A round trip every day costs over two hundred yuan, which adds up to over six thousand a month. Can you afford that?"

Zhang Anren stammered, "Uh..."

“Nan Sun is a strong-willed person. She refuses to spend her family's money and wants to be self-reliant. The only person she can rely on is you. She goes to the construction site every day, working so hard and tiring. Are you really willing to let her squeeze onto the bus and subway?”

"Uncle, don't worry, I will accompany Nansun back every day from now on."

Zhang Anren hurriedly expressed his opinion, thinking that it was no wonder that after the taxi driver told him the price, Jiang Nansun first glanced at him, and only paid the money himself when he saw that he did not make any move.

Jiang Pengfei looked disgusted and sneered, "What you should be doing now is not suffering with her, but taking her to enjoy life. You can't even afford a taxi, how can I believe you can make Nan Sun happy?"

Although Jiang Nansun had some reservations about Zhang Anren's thriftiness, he still tried to smooth things over: "I don't take taxis every day. I'm just tired today."

“Although Dad has never experienced hardship, he knows a lot of principles.” Jiang Pengfei earnestly advised, “Don’t even mention working on a construction site. Even if you’re sitting in an air-conditioned room, how can you not be tired after a day’s work? Then take a two-hour subway ride, and you’ll be completely exhausted.”

Zhang Anren quickly smiled apologetically and said, "Uncle, I haven't bought a car yet. Once I buy a car, I can pick up and drop off Nansun every day."

"No, Xiao Zhang, Xiao Zhang, you can promise my daughter all you want, but don't try this on me." Jiang Pengfei's tone was full of disdain as he ruthlessly exposed her. "When will you be able to afford a car? With your meager salary, what can you even do after paying off your mortgage?"

Zhang Anren was speechless after being rebuked, his face turning red. He really had no intention of buying a car; he was just thinking of appeasing Jiang Pengfei first. After Jiang Pengfei exposed him, he could only lower his head in guilt.

Jiang Nansun suddenly spoke up: "Starting tomorrow, I won't be living at home anymore."

Jiang Pengfei frowned: "What did you say?"

Zhang Anren's heart skipped a beat, and he felt inexplicably excited. If Jiang Nansun was willing to move in with him, it would save him the trouble of traveling back and forth, allow them to spend more time together, and he wouldn't have to worry about Lin Yuan taking advantage of the situation.

“Starting tomorrow, I won’t be living at home anymore. I’m moving in with Suosuo.” Jiang Nansun said firmly. “Suosuo has wanted me to move in with her for a long time. That way, I won’t have to listen to your nagging anymore, and Zhang Anren won’t be scolded by you every time he brings me back.”

"Don't just do things on a whim," Jiang Pengfei said with a stern face. "Living at someone else's house is never as convenient as living at your own."

“SuoSuo won’t treat me like an outsider,” Jiang Nansun said, raising his chin with a firm tone. “I don’t want any of the money from home anymore, so why would I want to live in their house?”

After saying that, she turned to Zhang Anren and said calmly, "You can go back now."

Zhang Anren nodded immediately, then said to Jiang Pengfei, "Uncle, I'm leaving now."

Seeing that Jiang Pengfei ignored him, he wisely left.

Jiang Pengfei pressed, "Nan Sun, are you serious?"

If Jiang Nansun moves away, how will I be able to connect her with Lin Yuan?

"of course it's true."

Jiang Nansun proudly raised his chin and went into his house.

Back in her bedroom, she first sent a message to Suo Suo, then informed her mother Dai Yin, and then opened the wardrobe, pondering which clothes and bags to bring.
