After the villain was reborn, he found out that he had a childhood sweetheart.

Lin Xiangling hates herself like this.

She knew that she had an awkward personality, and she also knew that Lin Yun always indulged her awkwardness... Alas.

My thoughts are a little confused.

Fortunately, the subway arrived at the station while she was in a daze, and Lin Xiangling immediately shifted her attention to working.

Beicang International Art Center is a great place to work. The salary is high, it is not too tiring, and the leaders are very kind. It is the perfect choice for Lin Xiangling to earn a living on weekends.

No matter what you are anxious about, as long as you have something to do, the anxiety will naturally be relieved a lot.

After being busy all morning, a smile gradually appeared on Lin Xiangling's face - it was the business smile of a tour guide welcoming customers. It is said that medical scientists have done research and found that even a fake smile can promote the nervous system to secrete "happy" substances. Lin Xiangling thinks this research result is very reliable.

For lunch, she treated the senior from Beicang Normal University to snail noodles. She had promised to treat her in return after receiving the bonus, and Lin Xiangling kept her word.

As a result, before she even walked out of the art center's door, the director called her.

"Xiang Ling, your classmate is here. Will you take care of him this afternoon?"

"Which classmate?"

"Lin Yun."

Lin Xiangling's heart skipped a beat and she quickly ran a few steps to look towards the VIP channel. Lin Yun was standing there, looking a little more nervous than usual.

"You, why are you here?"

"I've said it before. If I have a chance, I'll come and play, and you'll be my tour guide... I was busy accompanying Qianxi and Shengsheng last time. It just so happens that they have something to do this weekend, so I'll come and accompany you."

His words were flawless, just like every moment he spent with Lin Yun, making Lin Xiangling feel as comfortable as walking on a slightly moist meadow after the rain.

She thought about it and realized that it was after she took a very matching photo of Lin Yun and Yu Sheng that day, Lin Yun praised her in a private chat and said she was very good and had become the best tour guide at the art center so quickly.

Then Lin Yun said apologetically that he had not listened to the explanation carefully because he was playing with his two childhood sweethearts, and he would come alone when he has time next time.

At that time, Lin Xiangling was a little depressed, so she muddled through the meeting ambiguously and did not agree on a specific time.

She felt that Lin Yun might just be being polite, so if that was the case, she shouldn't make herself embarrassed.

I didn’t expect Lin Yun to remember it so clearly, and he really chose the right time... If you don’t consider yesterday’s embarrassment, it is indeed a very suitable time.

But no matter what, Lin Yun took the initiative to do what Lin Xiangling expected, which was undoubtedly worth being happy about. She pursed her lips and smiled slightly: "Thank you, Brother Lin Yun."

"It's okay, it's okay, haha, let's go, I'll treat you to lunch."

Seeing this, the director immediately arranged Lin Xiangling's work for the afternoon so that she could just accompany Lin Yun. After all, the young master's request was very clear.

Looking at the two people's backs, the director shook his head slightly, not knowing what he was sighing about, and soon returned to his job.

Let the young people solve their own problems. I, an old lady, won’t worry about them unnecessarily.

……

There are not only snacks like snail rice noodle near the art center, but also several Western restaurants with an elegant atmosphere.

Lin Yun picked a private room and ordered a set meal for two. He asked Lin Xiangling if she wanted to eat anything else, and she quickly handed the menu back.

"Don't you have an appetite?"

"No... I don't know how to order, I'll just have the set meal..."

"Ok."

The meal was a bit awkward. Both Lin Yun and Lin Xiangling seemed a bit stiff. It is difficult for people to appear relaxed when they have a lot on their mind.

The two of them could not help but have similar thoughts at the same time:

Sure enough, alienation was inevitable.

Time is a good way to ease embarrassment, but Lin Xiangling lacks confidence in this. The gap between her and Lin Yun is too big, and their relationship is much more fragile than that of normal friends. According to normal logic, she and Lin Yun should not have been friends.

The two began to visit the exhibition again. Compared with the last time, Lin Xiangling had more opportunities to talk to Lin Yun, but unfortunately she was not in the mood. It was really fate.

The atmosphere was depressing. We arrived at a secluded corridor surrounded by modern paintings. There was no explanation. If it were other guests, Lin Xiangling would chat with them casually. Many parents with children would ask questions about Delin Middle School.

But she didn't know what to talk about with Lin Yun.

After observing for a long time, Lin Yun roughly understood Lin Xiangling's condition.

First of all, she did not feel any fear or disgust towards Lin Yun, which proved that the weight of yesterday's accident in Lin Xiangling's heart was at least not very serious.

In this case, Lin Yun decided not to mention it and chose to use other methods to make Lin Xiangling feel that Lin Yun was purely concerned about her... This was the "auxiliary line" to solve the "geometry problem".

This corridor is beautiful and quiet, suitable for talking about heartfelt words.

After his mind cleared, Lin Yun took the initiative to break the silence:

"Do you feel any pain from your injury again?"

"No……"

"Then I think you'll be well soon. I'll go to your place again tonight to give you another massage to consolidate the effects."

Lin Xiangling raised her head, hiding her surprise in her eyes, and said with a wry smile: "No need, I just need to rest more, I won't bother Brother Lin Yun..."

"What's the trouble? Besides, you'll get better quickly after another massage. The sports meet will open next Tuesday, and you still have to beat up the provincial experiment for the Kyudo Club."

"Really, it's not necessary. Just apply the pain-relieving patch. I should be able to use the bow next year..."

"It's hard to say, but if I press it again, I guarantee you'll be full of energy tomorrow."

"But that would waste Brother Lin Yun's time..."

Lin Xiangling refused with great effort. She felt that Lin Yun continued to give her massage out of the mentality of helping others to the end, or maybe he was just being polite.

She is not as ignorant of the ways of the world as a child.

Given Lin Yun's personality, he would definitely continue to get along with her for a while as if nothing had happened, and then slowly distance himself from her... So she might as well save Lin Yun the trouble.

No need. You are being too considerate of her feelings. She has been taken care of by Lin Yun too many times.

However, as she continued to shirk responsibility, Lin Yun's face gradually turned gloomy, and his tone suddenly became cold: "Lin Xiangling, why are you always like this? Who do you think I am?"

"Eh?"

"Tell me, who am I in your heart?"

"...friend." She hesitated for a moment, her rosy lips moved, and she whispered two words.

"But I don't think you really consider me a friend." Lin Yun shook his head helplessly, "I don't know if you do. What happened this afternoon was the first time between us."

"First time?"

"This is the first time we're not doing anything specific, we're just playing around... Every time you come to me, it's about something serious. It's not that I don't want to help you solve your problems. I'm willing to help you solve your problems, but you always seem to feel like you owe me something."

Lin Xiangling's shoulders trembled as she was touched by what she was thinking: "I..."

Lin Yun interrupted with a look of disappointment: "What do you mean? Is there anything wrong with what I said? Just now, you said that giving you a massage is a waste of my time... Look, I let Yu Sheng help me score points every day, playing in the silver cancer segment. Does she dislike me for wasting her time?"

"That's different..."

"Indeed, we haven't known each other for that long, but I hope you can relax a little and stop thinking so much." Lin Yun let out a long breath and changed his tone to gentle, "Xiang Ling, you are like this, which makes it difficult for me to deal with it. It mainly involves your health. As a friend, I am worried."

"Sorry……"

"Look, you're here again. You're really confused! Listen to my advice. Don't be so reserved. Don't always think about how much you owe us. It's unnecessary. Being friends is not doing business." Lin Yun patted Lin Xiangling's shoulder carelessly. "If you feel bad about it, I order you to play with me in the afternoon and cook me a luxurious meal in the evening. Do you understand?"

Combined with Lin Yun's expression that looked a little angry and aggrieved, it was a little funny. Lin Xiangling laughed dryly twice, then turned the corners of her mouth downward, and her eyes became uncontrollably moist.

Lin Yun was right, she was too confused.

She actually mistakenly thought that Lin Yun would regard her as a scheming woman and distance himself from her, even though she clearly didn't take what happened last night to heart at all.

“Don’t cry, it’s nothing…” Lin Yun handed her a tissue and began to brainwash her: “Don’t worry, you will be very successful in the future. When you become a corporate executive, the Lin family might fall into decline. Don’t forget to help me when the time comes. Just give me a security captain position…”

The girl burst into laughter. Really, Brother Lin Yun's nonsense was simply unreliable. Not to mention whether the Lin family would decline, how could she be a corporate executive?

But Lin Yun is the most reliable person in the world. If he said yes, then there must be hope. Lin Xiangling thought about it and suddenly felt that such a future was too beautiful. If she could become a glamorous person, misunderstandings like today should not happen, right?

Lin Xiangling nodded heavily, and it was obvious that she had heard what was said.

So Lin Yun went to buy two glasses of sugarcane juice and gave one to her.

"You are not allowed to say things like 'I'm afraid of wasting my time' from now on, do you hear me?"

"Um……"

"Hook."

"Hook!"

Hooking Lin Yun's little finger and looking at his half-joking and half-seriously strong look, Lin Xiangling felt tingling from her chest to her whole body, filled with a kind of subtle happiness.

Lin Yun secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As expected, when dealing with a girl like Lin Xiangling, it is not good to be too polite. After all, she is a very polite type, and you have to be a little assertive occasionally.

What she lacks is a sense of security, so as long as she realizes that Lin Yun is someone she can rely on, being accidentally exposed is not a big deal.

It just happened naturally, great!

Lin Yun doesn’t know how to pick up girls, but he has been in the workplace for a long time and is well versed in the philosophy of fooling people.

In one afternoon, the two of them had a great time touring the art center, and then took Lin Yun’s black limousine to the urban village to buy groceries.

When Chen Qila woke up slowly and collapsed on the sofa, she saw Lin Xiangling and Lin Yun opening the door and coming in together, carrying large and small bags of food in their hands. Her mouth opened wide immediately.

Lin Yun went to the kitchen to bring things and wash and pick vegetables.

Chen Qila stealthily pulled Lin Xiangling to the balcony and made a naughty expression: "Now tell me again, what is your relationship?"

"good friend."

"Oh my, didn't you say we were just ordinary friends yesterday?"

"I'm wrong. We are good friends. Very good friends."

Her eyes were filled with a smile that came from the heart.

Those eyes used to be a vast frozen wasteland, but later the light and heat dispelled the loneliness, and her world began to change, with wind and rain, and the sound of deer calling.

69. I want to sing a song for you

Saturday morning, sleep in.

Elders would usually condemn children for sleeping in, but not Jiang Qianxi's mother, because she gets up even later than her daughter.

Jiang Qianxi walked out of the room, wearing furry cat-patterned slippers and yawning.

Lao Jiang was already making lunch. The clever old father skipped breakfast and went fishing with his friends in the morning. As expected, he came back empty-handed.

So I went to the market and bought a sea bass. Then I killed it and made steamed sea bass for the mother and daughter.

When the dishes were almost ready, Lao Jiang said to Jiang Qianxi, "Go wake up your mother."

"No, I can't call her..."

"If she can't shout, tickle her armpits."

Jiang Qianxi received an order from Lao Jiang and went to wake her mother up.

After a while, an adult and a child came to the dining table laughing.

Apart from the inevitable erosion of time, Liu Yueru is almost an enlarged version of Jiang Qianxi, in every sense of the word.

Liu Yueru squinted her eyes sleepily, sniffed, and immediately revealed a resentful expression: "What a sumptuous meal! Alas, I can only eat good food when my daughter comes home. My husband is so partial."

"Yes, yes, I will reflect on it." Old Jiang smiled and helped Liu Yueru tie up her hair to make it easier for her to eat.

"Of course the food for three people is more sumptuous than that for two people. It can't be considered as partiality." Jiang Qianxi defended Lao Jiang.

"This is not just for three people, it's enough for our entire department's dinner party!"

"Mom, you're exaggerating. If you're really hungry, just invite your colleagues to your house for dinner. Dad will definitely cook a table of delicious food for them."

"No, that won't work. I have a new girl working for me who just graduated. She keeps asking about your father. I think she wants to poach you. You must not let her eat the food your father cooks."

"Ah?" Jiang Qianxi slowly typed a question mark.

"Ah?" Lao Jiang slowly typed two question marks.

The mother and daughter talked about all sorts of meaningless nonsense, and when their mouths were dry from talking, Lao Jiang considerately poured them two glasses of juice.

Liu Yueru works in a foreign company. Her position is not very high, but at least it is enough to provide her family with a comfortable life.

Lao Jiang, on the other hand, was slacking off in a low-paying job in a state-owned enterprise. This man had no ambition at all. When he was young, he took a two-month vacation to be a wandering rock youth. After he came back, his boss scolded him badly because of his permed hair.

Nowadays, Lao Jiang has a simpler hairstyle and no longer perms his hair, but he still loves playing chess, calligraphy, painting, gardening, fishing, baking and cooking...

After Jiang Qianxi drank a few sips of juice, Lao Jiang asked his daughter how the single release was going.
