Starting with a cub, the superpower boss becomes the richest man by lying flat

Chapter 99 I'm Different from That Girl

"Miss Lin, it's snowing today anyway, is it okay for me to get some wine?" Chu Yu ran out of the kitchen and asked Lin Xin.

"You can drink, but don't act crazy, otherwise I will beat you up." Lin Xin waved her fist at him and said with a smile.

"Don't worry, we are all good drinkers. No matter how much we drink, we will never act crazy." Chu Yu assured.

"Okay, then you guys drink!" Lin Xin agreed readily.

Chu Yu went back to get some wine, while Gao Yong and the others busily cleared the snow from Lin Xin's house, and then cleared a passage in the yard from the main room to the kitchen and then to the gate.

When Chu Yu came back, he was carrying two ten-jin wine jars in his hands. Meng Yichen and Cui Shi followed him, wrapped in thick fur coats.

"Stinky girl, what goodies did you make for me today?" Cui Shi would call Lin Xin "stinky girl" every time he saw her. Lin Xin had gradually gotten used to it and replied calmly, "We're having a hot pot today. I've already fried all the ingredients and divided them into two pots. Do you like spicy food or not?"

"Oh, the pot is great. It's perfect for eating pot on snowy days. I love you little girl!" Cui Shi twirled his beard and absentmindedly praised her before walking towards the kitchen. He was so fast that it seemed as if a dog was chasing him.

"Everyone is here, let's have dinner!" Lin Xin closed the gate and walked into the kitchen to announce.

Lin Xin already knew that the grown men almost had to fight for their meals, so she specially prepared a small shabu-shabu pot for herself, Lin Nan, Cui Shi and Meng Yichen. As for the little white wolf that had grown to the height of its calf, it ate raw meat.

When everyone had almost finished eating, the people at that table started drinking.

Chu Yu took a large bowl and started to toast everyone one by one. He didn't care how much others drank, he just drank the whole bowl in one gulp.

"What's wrong with Chu Yu? Something seems a little wrong to me!" Lin Xin asked Meng Yichen in a low voice.

Meng Yichen glanced over there and replied in a low voice, "He has a childhood sweetheart who grew up with him. Both families almost tacitly agreed to their marriage and were just waiting for them to grow up. But the day before yesterday, Chu Yu received a letter from the capital saying that the girl was engaged."

"Oh, your girlfriend got married, and the groom is not him, so you think of drinking to drown your sorrows!" Lin Xin nodded in understanding and looked at him sympathetically.

The marching men were indeed quite good at drinking. After drinking two jars of wine, they were only slightly tipsy. Although Chu Yu drank more than others, he was still sober.

After dinner, snowflakes began to fall again. No one had anything to do, so they simply stayed at Lin Xin's house and waited until dinner was over before going back.

Lin Nan pulled Meng Yichen to his room and said that since the teacher was here, they should not miss today's class. Meng Yichen had no choice but to follow him with a helpless smile. Mo Ziyuan helped clean up the kitchen, made a pot of tea and brought it to the main room, and everyone started chatting around the stove.

As they were talking, Chu Yu suddenly looked at Lin Xin and asked, "Miss Lin, I want to ask you, is it true that in the eyes of you women, reality is always more important than feelings?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire room fell into a deathly silence. A flash of anger flashed in Mo Ziyuan's eyes, and the others looked embarrassed. Zhou Qi even bowed to Lin Xin and said, "Miss Lin, I'm sorry. Chu Yu has a family problem and he's unhappy. Please don't argue with him."

Lin Xin shook her head to indicate that she was fine. She looked at Chu Yu seriously and said, "I believe that the idea of ​​love being enough to satisfy one's hunger only exists in picture books. It's absolutely impossible to happen in real life. Even if a man and a woman abandon reality for love, reality will soon make them realize how naive they are."

"So this is really the case!" Chu Yu seemed to have suffered a great blow. He sat back dejectedly, lowered his head and said nothing.

"Old Chu, why don't you just talk to Miss Lin about this? They're both young girls, so they're probably thinking the same thing. Ask her what she thinks, so you don't have to be so upset." Gao Yong sat down next to Chu Yu, patted him on the shoulder, and said to him. "I..." Chu Yu seemed a little embarrassed to speak, but he couldn't let it go, and he seemed restless.

"Okay, if you believe me, just tell me." Lin Xin said, supporting her cheek.

"It's nothing, actually. She just wrote me a letter saying that she couldn't see a future for us, so she got engaged as arranged by her family." Chu Yu said it lightly, but Lin Xin could still tell that he was actually quite serious about this relationship.

"Let me sing a song for you!" Lin Xin thought for a moment and suddenly said.

Everyone was confused and talking about Chu Yu, why did he want to sing again?

"Hey, okay! Sing quickly!" Gao Yong is always the one who provides the highest emotional value.

Lin Xin cleared her throat and began to sing:
"When you have nothing to worry about, let me wander around the world
When you become successful, let me be with you under the moon and flowers

When you no longer have her, allow me to have simple meals and simple tea

When you are rich and prosperous, give me ten miles of peach blossoms

I regret that I have never had a home in my life.
Unfortunately, people are like flowing water, the east wind blows through the years
The sky was filled with snowflakes, and my heart was in turmoil.

It turns out that your heart is not mine, I finally let go of that longing."

When the song ended, everyone fell silent.

"So you see, what you thought was a vow could easily become empty in the end. That girl might have been afraid she'd lose the bet!" Lin Xin seemed to be speaking to Chu Yu, but also seemed to be summing up. "People say 'love can conquer mountains and seas,' but it's really just a beautiful wish. The most common thing in this world is unrequited love."

Chu Yu was silent for a while before nodding and saying, "I understand. Actually, I really can't provide her with a home right now. Miss Lin, thank you very much!"

"No need to thank me. You actually understand this principle, but you just can't wrap your head around it." Lin Xin said with a smile.

Everyone persuaded Chu Yu a few more times, and Zhou Qi took the lead in changing the topic. Chu Yu also joined in, as if he had really thought it through.

In a corner where no one could see, Mo Ziyuan loosened his clenched fist. Four fingernail marks were deeply imprinted on the palm of his hand, two of which had broken the skin.

Lin Xin poured more tea for everyone and sat aside, listening attentively to their story of what happened during the previous battle. She was listening with great interest when suddenly someone grabbed her hand. She turned her head and saw Mo Ziyuan staring at her with a pair of bottomless dark eyes, which seemed to be filled with infinite grievances.

She knew what was wrong with him after a little thought, and couldn't help but laugh softly, scratching his palm lightly with her fingers.

Mo Ziyuan's pupils suddenly shrank, and his hands stiffened. Lin Xin smiled even more broadly, tilting her head slightly and whispering to him, "Don't overthink it. I'm not like that girl."
