"I see."

Xiangzi calmed down, nodded in understanding, and then made a tentative suggestion.

"Lin Yi...why don't you move?"

He can move to her house. His father knows Lin Yi and supports their relationship.

Lin Yi was deeply moved. Xiangzi's words were so heartwarming, but he would not be a deserter.

"Lin Yi, Xiao Xiang, please explain yourselves clearly."

Aiyin stamped her feet. Although she was present on the night when Su Shi was discovered following her, and she had a deep impression of him, it was only a surface impression after all. She could not understand such a riddle.

"What does this mean, what does that mean?"

"I'll talk to you privately later."

Lin Yi perfunctorily said something to Aiyin, then looked at Xiangzi and said seriously: "Xiangzi, I am telling you this today because I want you to be prepared."

"Although Su Shi's actions are somewhat against heaven, her heart is indeed good. If she continues like this, I'm afraid Su Shi will have mental problems and become depressed or something."

Xiangzi looked at Lin Yi's serious attitude and put away her little thoughts. She believed what Lin Yi said.

She knew that Su Shi's obsession with Crychic was deep, but she didn't expect it to be this deep.

Xiangzi really hates Su Shi now, but it's only because she stalked her. She doesn't want to see Su Shi become devastated or even suffer from a mental illness.

Having experienced many ups and downs, Xiangzi no longer regards this matter as very important. If Su Shi can make changes, then it would be okay for her to take a step back.

Xiangzi nodded and said: "Well, Lin Yi, you can do whatever you want. I believe in you!"

……

After visiting the gift shop, Lin Yi sent the two girls home one by one.

By the time he returned to his tower, it was completely dark.

Ding Dong!

With a crisp sound, an urban beauty walked out of the elevator.

Kumiko Nagasaki was holding a bag in her left hand and a stack of documents under her right arm. Her clothes were hastily put on and had many wrinkles, and there were traces of cream at the corners of her mouth.

Judging from the situation, I'm afraid I have to go to work again.

"Where is Ms. Nagasaki going?"

Lin Yi asked knowingly, then raised the gift box in his hand: "I was planning to give you a birthday present."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lin, I have work to do and I have to go out for a while."

Nagasaki Kumiko said this with an apologetic look on her face, without stopping for a moment.

"I appreciate Mr. Lin's kindness, but I don't need the gift!"

Lin Yi smiled and nodded, then walked into the elevator, with a hint of sadness in his smile.

Su Shi is a miserable child.

Earlier, when Su Shi was having dinner at his house, Lin Yi could tell from their casual conversation that Su Shi attached great importance to Kumiko's birthday and was looking forward to it.

But when the birthday finally arrived and all preparations were completed, the mother ran away halfway. How sad the child must have been.

Lin Yi went home first, put down the clothes he bought today, and then went upstairs carrying the gift box in his hand.

Just as Lin Yi was about to knock on the door, he discovered that Su Shi's door was ajar and not closed tightly at all, which was enough to show how hurried Kumiko left.

He opened the door gently and walked in carefully.

……

Nagasaki Suyo is very happy today.

Even though she had learned that Xiaoxiang hated her and that Crychic would never be resurrected, she was still very happy today.

Because today is my mother's birthday, and she celebrates her birthday at home, so this opportunity is rare.

In order to give Kumiko a surprise, Su Shi bought a lot of ribbons, light strips and balloons.

In the afternoon, Su Shi bought a two-hour movie ticket and pushed Kumiko to the cinema.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Su Shi decorated her home in a dreamy way and prepared a birthday dinner in advance, two of the dishes she learned from Lin Yi.

Kumiko did receive a big surprise when she came back, and the mother and daughter hugged each other emotionally.

But just as Suyo finished cutting the cake, Kumiko received another call.

She is going out to work again.

Why use it?

Because Su Shi had long been accustomed to this situation.

My mother won't be with me.

Su Shi felt like an unwanted child.

My parents are divorced and my mother is away from home most of the time.

Xiaoxiang hates her, and her former Crychic teammates also have a new band.

She was alone.

Su Shi looked at the meal and birthday cake that she had carefully prepared, and her hungry stomach suddenly lost its appetite.

She returned to her bedroom and sat alone on her bed, hugging her knees.

The luxurious penthouse with bright lights brings no warmth to the world, but only loneliness and desolation like being in a prison.

Su Shi buried his head deeply and sobbed silently.

"Sushi? Are you crying?"

A familiar gentle male voice sounded in my ears.

Su Shi initially thought she was hallucinating, but she suddenly raised her head and saw Lin Yi's figure in her blurry vision.

“So you really are crying.”

Looking at Su Shi's red eyes and bloodshot face, Lin Yi chuckled and explained.

"I saw your mother when I came back. I wanted to give you the birthday present for her, but when I went upstairs, I found that your door was not closed tightly, so I came in directly."

"You haven't eaten yet? Do you mind if I eat at your house? I won't pay."

Listening to Lin Yi's serious words, Su Shi felt like she was back to the days when she used to have dinner at Lin Yi's house every day.

No need to think about mom, no need to think about Xiaoxiang, and no need to think about Crychic.

Simply sitting opposite Lin Yi, eating, chatting, and cleaning up the table together after dinner, everything was so warm and comfortable.

Mom left, but Lin Yi came to have dinner with her.

Su Shi cried again, this time it was not silent sobbing, but crying out loud with tears streaming down her face.

Lin Yi knew his situation, but he did not hate himself or despise himself. Instead, he opened the door for himself.

Lin Yi knew that Xiangzi hated him and invited Deng and Lixi to form a new band, but he still did it.

"Su Shi, why are you crying even harder?"

Lin Yi was a little at a loss for a moment. He looked left and right and saw the tissue paper on the bedside table.

He took out a few tissues, then sat down on the edge of the bed and handed the tissues to Su Shi.

"Here, wipe it with some paper. Your face is almost all red from crying."

However, just as Lin Yi handed the paper to Su Shi, Su Shi suddenly jumped up and threw him onto the bed.

Lin Yi looked at the luxurious ceiling of the Su family in confusion. The next second, the girl's body pressed up from the side. The soft touch made Lin Yi's eyes widen for a moment.

Su Shi buried her head in Lin Yi's chest and cried loudly.

Lin Yi was a little at a loss. Sister, aren’t you supposed to be so polite?

Logically speaking, Lin Yi should stand up and throw Su Shi aside, but seeing her crying so sadly, Lin Yi felt a little reluctant for a moment.

Finally, Lin Yi let out a long sigh and placed his hand on Su Shi's back, stroking and comforting her gently as if he was coaxing a child.

"Alright, alright, don't cry, Sushi."

……

Su Shi didn't know why she suddenly threw herself into Lin Yi's arms.

She thought in her mind: Even if Xiaoxiang was not there, even if Crychic was not there, even if my mother was not there, as long as Lin Yi was there, it would not be a big deal.

Feeling the hot body temperature and masculine scent on Lin Yi's chest, Su Shi's originally restless heart gradually calmed down and she stopped crying.

Su Shi climbed up with red eyes. She looked at Lin Yi's clothes which were wet with her tears, and her face flushed for a moment.

She said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, Lin Yi, why don't you take off your clothes before you leave and I will help you wash them?"

Lin Yi said with a dark face: "This is the only piece of clothing I have on."

"Is this... like this? I don't know..."

Lin Yi said helplessly: "That's it, Su Shi, go to the bathroom and wash your face first, I'll go downstairs and change clothes and come back."

……

ten minutes later.

At the dining table of Su Shi's family, Lin Yi and Su Shi sat opposite each other as usual.

Above the dining table, there are balloons of various colors hanging.

Thin ribbons are gently wrapped between the balloons, as colorful as a rainbow.

The scene was clearly set up for a birthday celebration, but at this moment it actually felt like a candlelight dinner party.

“Try my cooking.”

Su Shi looked at Lin Yi expectantly and said, "Is it as good as what you made yourself?"

"Okay, let me see how much of my skills you have learned."

Lin Yi smiled slightly and picked up the chopsticks like a judge.

He picked up a piece of braised pork that he often made and savored it carefully.

Lin Yi commented seriously: "The batter is not very good, it's a bit too thick. The oil temperature was too low when it was re-fried. The meat is not crispy enough and is soft. However, the seasoning is good. Is this your first time making it?"

"Yeah, first time doing this."

“I’ll give it full marks if you do it for the first time!”

Lin Yi raised a thumbs up and said with a smile.

Su Shi also smiled, and her smile was very bright.

After dinner officially began, the table became quiet, with only the sounds of the two people picking up food and chewing.

It seemed that after the initial tasting session, the two of them had no suitable topics to talk about.

After taking a sip of the drink, Lin Yi spoke first to break the silence.

"Su Shi, I have talked to Xiangzi today. As long as you stop thinking about resurrecting Crychic, I can let you two meet later to have a good talk and resolve the conflict."

Su Shi is also a girl certified by the system. She is no pushover, but her level is not particularly outstanding.

It is actually a very powerful and high-quality card, but due to various reasons, Lin Yi was unable to collect it before.

But if Xiangzi and Sushi reconcile, then there will be no problem.

However, to Lin Yi's surprise, Su Shi did not seem very excited when she heard that she could meet Xiangzi.

"Thank you Lin Yi. I'll leave it to you then."

Su Shi replied softly.

From the beginning, Su Shi felt that her mentality had changed. Although she still wanted to reconcile with Xiaoxiang, she was no longer as eager as before.

The originally important Crychic has become dispensable at this time.

Compared to those things, Su Shi wanted the company of the man in front of her more.

But if she remembered correctly, Lin Yi said last Saturday that his girlfriend came to his house for dinner.
