◎Two-in-one summer Los Angeles◎

"Xiaobao, don't run. Be careful."

"Haha, Mom can't catch up with me."

With a "bang", a little boy rushed around in the airplane cabin and bumped head-on into Lin Chaojin who was standing in the aisle.

"Hmm," Lin Chaojin was caught off guard and hit on the waist by him, and staggered for a moment.

Chi Huai quickly stood up, holding her waist with one hand and her hand with the other. His brows were furrowed, and he lowered his head to lock his gaze on her face. "Are you okay?" His voice lacked the usual coldness, and was filled with a hint of anxiety for no reason.

Lin Chaojin leaned half of her body against him and shook her head, her hair brushing against his face. "It's okay."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, miss, are you okay?" the young mother hurried over, bowing her head in a sincere apology. She lifted her son with one hand and slapped him on the butt with the other. "I told you not to run around. Apologize to your sister now."

The boy, who had been spanked by his mother, was sullen. He knew he had gotten into trouble by being naughty, so he looked up and apologized: "Sister, I'm sorry."

Chi Huai frowned, his face not looking very good, and stared at the little boy.

The little boy seemed to sense that the older brother in front of him had a bad look on his face, so he quickly shrank behind his mother and stuck out his little head.

The young mother looked at Chi Huai awkwardly and took a step back hesitantly. This handsome guy looked handsome, but his cold face was also very scary.

Lin Chaojin looked at him amusedly and patted his hand gently. Chi Huai glanced at her and withdrew his gaze from the little boy.

"It's okay," Lin Chaojin said to the two mother and son who were apologizing sincerely. She glanced at the Ultraman in the little boy's hand and curled her lips. "Next time if you don't listen to your mother, your Ultraman will be captured by a monster."

The little boy's mouth suddenly drooped when he heard it, his eyes filled with tears, and he looked up at his mother, "Mom, is that so?"

"Yes, sister is telling the truth," the young mother wanted to teach her stubborn child a lesson, so she nodded seriously.

The little boy sniffed and hugged Ultraman tightly in his arms, nodding obediently, "Then I will listen to my mother next time."

Lin Chaojin watched the mother and son walk away, then turned to meet Chi Huai's gaze, her lips curled up, "Thank you."

Chi Huai withdrew his hand, put it in his pocket, stepped back and stood in the aisle, looking at her, and said faintly: "You really are full of nonsense."

After hearing what he said, Lin Chaojin moved towards him, her white ankles faintly visible under her red skirt. She moved closer to him, her nose only a few centimeters away from him.

Chi Huaiding stood still without retreating, his hands in his pockets clenched into fists.

"That's perfect," Lin Chaojin shifted her gaze from his lips to his eyes, "as long as you can speak sweet words."

After saying this, he stepped back, turned around and sat down leisurely.

Chi Huai stood there, the faint fragrance of roses after the rain seemed to still linger around him.

"Sir, the plane is about to take off. Please return to your seat."

A polite voice of a stewardess interrupted Chi Huai's thoughts.

"Yeah," Chi Huai nodded and sat down.

The person sitting next to him was very relaxed, holding her chin and flipping through the magazine page by page. She was simply a scumbag who flirted with others and was irresponsible.

The roar of the plane taking off echoed in the cabin. Lin Chaojin put away the magazine and turned around to see that the man was half lying on the seat, with his arms folded and his eyes closed.

Lin Chaojin rested her chin on the handle between their seats with her left hand, and looked at his face without any obstruction.

His long and thick eyelashes would make even women jealous. His straight nose connected to his ruthless lips, and his smooth and neat jaw revealed a distinct coldness, making him look like solid ice under a snowy mountain. However, the red mole under the right corner of his eye made him even more beautiful.

Every aspect of this person fits her aesthetic taste and hits the mark completely. Li Yin no doubt complained to her, "Lin Chaojin, you are just attracted by beauty."

Lin Chaojin stared at his mole and was in a trance back to Los Angeles in the midsummer of last year.

"Ah, my wonderful vacation is here," Li Yin walked out of the Los Angeles airport, facing the sunset, couldn't help but stretching, turned around and leaned on Lin Chaojin's shoulder, "Beauty, go go go, let's start our vacation journey."

Lin Chaojin glanced at her, they smiled at each other, and took a taxi straight to the hotel.

The two of them completed the check-in procedures and waited by the elevator. With a "ding" sound, the elevator door opened and several people walked out.

Lin Chaojin was looking at Li Yin's phone and discussing with her, and suddenly didn't notice that the suitcase in his hand slipped out of his palm and slid forward and hit someone's leg.

"Sorry," Lin Chaojin hurried over to steady the suitcase, then looked up at the person in front of him and spoke apologetically.

The boy was wearing a baseball jacket zipped up to his chin and a baseball cap. His narrow eyes from under the brim of the cap glanced at her lazily, his gaze only staying on her face for a second before he walked past her and moved forward.

"Chaojin, let's go," Li Yin's voice came. Lin Chaojin came to his senses, pushed the suitcase over, and leaned against the elevator wall. The man's eyes stayed in his mind for only a few seconds.

At night, Lin Chaojin looked at Li Yin, who was kissing and smooching with her boyfriend on the phone, and shook her head helplessly. She picked up her pack of cigarettes and her phone and said, "I'm going to the rooftop to get some fresh air."

"Hey, did I disturb you?" Li Yin sat on the bed, put away her phone and looked over.

"No," Lin Chaojin waved his hand behind her back, "I just want to go to the top floor to see the night view."

Pushing open the door to the top floor, the smell of the city comes to your face with the evening breeze.

Lin Chaojin walked to the railing and looked at the gorgeous and luxurious night view in the distance.

He took out a cigarette from the box, lit it with a lighter with a "click", put the lighter aside, put his hands on the railing, and looked into the distance with an empty mind.

At this moment, the phone rang. Lin Chaojin picked up the phone, glanced at it, and clicked to answer it. "Hello, Aunt Lu..."

While answering the phone, he turned around and leaned his back against the railing, holding the phone in one hand and the other hand on the railing, with a cigarette pinched between his index and middle fingers.

Listening to the instructions on the other end of the phone, he replied from time to time, "I see, Aunt Lu, yes..."

At this time, Lu Ge's loud voice came from the other end of the phone, "Sister, hello, you actually went out to play behind my back."

"Shh" Lin Chaojin laughed, the evening breeze messed up her long curly hair, like flying silk, reflecting her bright smile, "Okay, I'll take you there next time, um, I won't say anymore, bye Aunt Lu," the last few words were hoarse and lazy after smoking, and were whispered softly in the night.

Lin Chaojin hung up the phone and put it aside. She lifted her wind-blown hair and brushed it behind her ear, while one of her feet dangled in her slippers out of boredom.

Suddenly, there was a "click" sound. Lin Chaojin looked in the direction of the sound and saw a figure standing in the night in another corner of the roof. The flickering light of the lighter reflected his angular face. Lin Chaojin recognized that it was the person he had just bumped into while waiting for the elevator.

The man put a cigarette in his mouth, lit it, then casually threw the lighter on the wall, tilted his head to take a puff of the cigarette, then raised his hand to take the cigarette and casually held it in his hand.

Lin Chaojin watched his series of movements without moving her eyes away, her eyes wandering playfully over him unscrupulously in the night.

The man had obviously just finished a shower. His slightly longer bangs were fluttering wetly in the breeze. He was wearing a simple black T-shirt, which was cute but highlighted his well-defined figure.

He leaned casually against the railing, lowered his head slightly and looked at the ground. His eyes were unclear, and the spark in his fingers was the only light.

At this time, the man raised his head and glanced straight at him. Lin Chaojin walked towards him without dodging, but no one could see the other person's expression clearly in the darkness.

In the evening breeze of Los Angeles, the two of them smoked silently at a distance.

Lin Chaojin finished her cigarette, picked up her things and walked towards the stairs step by step. The hem of her red suspender skirt swayed in the breeze, brushing against her ankles as she walked, like an intimate dance between lovers.

As he passed the man, the smell of a Marlboro cigarette with a hint of absinthe and light mint hit him. Lin Chaojin walked past him and went down the stairs without stopping.

The next night, Lin Chaojin couldn't resist Li Yin's insistence and went with her to the famous local bar, The Queensberry.

The bar is built in a small alley behind a parking lot. From time to time, you can see a few couples hugging each other in the corner of the alley.

Lin Chaojin walked straight ahead through the dimly lit, narrow and long staircase before finding the entrance.

Pushing the door open, you'll see a completely different scene. The golden lights are extremely bright, the decorations have a retro style from the last century, and even the music has the tone of the decadent American life of the 1990s.

Lin Chaojin ordered a cocktail and stirred it casually. By the time she finished the glass, Li Yin had already started chatting with a handsome blond American man next to her like a fish in water.

After rejecting the third wave of people, Lin Chaojin wandered around the bar boredly, when suddenly a familiar figure sitting in a booth in the corner not far away came into his sight.

Lin Chaojin watched with interest as the man calmly rejected each of the beautiful women who came over to chat with him.

Suddenly the man looked up. This was the third time their eyes met, and also the third time they had encountered each other in Los Angeles, a city that was definitely not small.

Lin Chaojin raised his head and drank the glass of wine, then stood up, walked through the crowd, walked towards him step by step within his sight, stood in front of him, bent down, and the different smells of wine on the two of them lingered together.

Lin Chaojin fixed her gaze on the red mole at the corner of his right eye, then slowly met his eyes and raised the corners of her lips, "Do you want a date?"

Silence spread between the two of them. Lin Chaojin waited for him for a few seconds. Seeing that he didn't respond, she pulled the corner of her mouth in boredom, stood up and was about to turn around and leave.

Suddenly, she felt a touch of warmth on her right wrist, which was held tightly by the man's hand. Lin Chaojin turned her head and was immersed in his dark pupils.

"about."

For the first time, Lin Chaojin experienced the stimulation of accelerated adrenaline. The man walked in front of her, holding her hand tightly, and walked past the crowds of people. His pace became faster and faster. Lin Chaojin could even feel the hair fluttering in the wind as he ran.

Ignoring Li Yin's shouts, "Lin Chaojin."

"Bang," the sound of the bar door being pushed open, and the evening breeze blowing in the night calmed her mind for a while.

"Patta, patta," was the sound of two people running down the stairs quickly, accompanied by the cheers of others, "Have a wonderful evening."

"Pa," as he passed through an alley, Lin Chaojin felt a pair of strong hands pressing on his shoulders, his back pressed tightly against the wall. The man's breath suddenly approached, and his lips pressed down. Lin Chaojin raised his head, and his slender white hands tightly wrapped around his neck.

In an instant, her ears rang with a "boom" and she could not hear any other sounds. Her head was dizzy, as if she had been thrown into a deep sea with turbulent waves.

It took a while before I heard the thumping sound of a heartbeat, not sure if it was coming from her or his.

When the fifth wave of pedestrians passed by them, the man pulled her into the alley again.

After leaving the alley, the man stopped a taxi and took her in.

In the car, their eyes met, and the man leaned closer to her. Lin Chaojin only occasionally saw the bright lights coming in from outside the window.

"Hey," the driver in front tactfully did not disturb the kissing couple and reached out to put on some music.

We were both young when I first saw you.

I close my eyes and the flashback starts.

I'm standing there.

…

See you make your way through the crowd.

And say hello,

Little did I know,

That you were Romeo you were throwing pebbles.1

Lin Chaojin didn't know how she walked out of the taxi or got into the elevator. The last impression she had was the door opening with a "click". The last scene was the bright yellow light coming in from the hotel corridor and ending as the door slowly closed.

Lin Chaojin opened her eyes and looked at the snow-white ceiling of the hotel. Her thoughts were confused for a second, and the scenes of last night replayed in her mind one by one.

She sat up hugging the quilt. The sound of water dripping came from the bathroom not far away. She turned around and saw that her dark green halter dress was wrinkled beyond recognition.

She raised her hand to rub her head. At this moment, a cell phone rang. Lin Chaojin realized that her phone was placed on the bedside table. She moved it over and saw more than 20 calls on it. She cleared her throat and answered, "Hello."

"Miss, you're not still indulging in the gentleness of life, are you?" Li Yin's exaggerated voice echoed from the other end. "No, you really left me and ran away with the handsome guy last night. Congratulations, Miss, you've gotten rid of..."

"Ahem," Lin Chaojin nearly choked. As the water in the bathroom had stopped running, she interrupted, "I'll hang up if I'm fine."

"No, take it easy, your voice is hoarse," Li Yin said jokingly, "Okay, I'm hanging up now."

As soon as the call was hung up, the bathroom door opened with a "click". The man came out wearing a bath towel and with his hair tied up, and met her eyes.

The doorbell rang "Ding Dong, Ding Dong". He looked away and walked over. Lin Chaojin only heard mumbling outside the door and could not hear clearly what they were saying.

Her eyes wandered around the room. The layout was exactly the same as the suite she lived in, but the style was more cool.

A moment later, the man came back in, pushing a breakfast cart into the living room. He walked over with a bag and handed it to her, "A change of clothes."

"Well, thank you," Lin Chaojin calmly reached out to take it, and the man walked out and closed the door for her.

When Lin Chaojin came out of the shower, the man was sitting on the sofa in the living room, looking at his phone. He looked up at her when he heard the voice, put away his phone, stood up, and pushed the cart to the kitchen table. He took out the breakfast on it one by one and set it on the table. He glanced at her and said, "I don't know what you like to eat, so I ordered one of each."

Lin Chaojin was just about to say hello and leave, but under his gaze, she could only walk over as usual, took a piece of toast and a cup of coffee, and sat down opposite him.

The man also took a cup of coffee and sat down, and the two of them finished their breakfast in silence.

Lin Chaojin spoke politely and made her final remarks, "Thank you for your hospitality," and then she prepared to get up and leave.

"Chi Huai," the man said while looking at her with his thin lips slightly opened.

It took Lin Chaojin a while to realize that he was introducing his name to her. With good manners, Lin Chaojin replied, "Lin Chaojin."

After saying that, the man nodded indifferently.

When Lin Chaojin stood up for the third time to leave, the man leaned back, tapping his index finger on the table, his eyes locked on her, "Your WeChat."

Lin Chaojin met his gaze and thought about this month's holiday arrangements for a minute. According to her heart, she did not refuse and gave her WeChat ID.

Chi Huai picked up his phone and tapped a few times. "Boom!" Lin Chaojin's WeChat notification sounded. He clicked it, looked at the new verification application, clicked "Approve", then turned off the phone, looked up and said, "I'm leaving first."

Chi Huai nodded and did not stop him.

As soon as Lin Chaojin pushed open the door, Li Yin rushed over, her eyes darting around her. Seeing the marks on her neck, she exclaimed in amazement, "That's great, Miss. If you don't make a sound, you'll make a big splash."

Lin Chaojin pushed her head away, walked to the bed, and fell back on it. His body, which had been stretched to its limits, finally relaxed.

"Tsk tsk," Li Yin touched his chin, "It seems that handsome guy is really good."

"Get lost," Lin Chaojin said with his thin lips.

"Okay, okay, I'll leave. You should have a good rest first," Li Yin said without bothering her anymore, "I'm going out to play for a while. I see you can't accompany me today."

"Um."

In the next few days, Lin Chaojin and Li Yin had a lot of fun. Apart from the system-generated message "You have added CH, you can start chatting now" on the first day, there was no other new information from the newly added WeChat account, and Lin Chaojin didn't care.

In the evening, Chi Huai and his teammates had just returned to the hotel after training. When they got off the car, they saw the girl standing in front of the hotel. She was wearing a sleeveless red dress, her exposed arms were as white as snow, and her long black curly hair was draped obediently on her shoulders. Even in a foreign country, she attracted the attention of passers-by just by standing there.

"Hey, isn't that the beautiful lady who left your room a few days ago?" teammate Xiao Yao poked Chi Huai with her hand and smiled evilly.

When Xiaoyao got up that day and went to look for him, he saw a beautiful woman walking out of his room. He was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped.

Chi Huai, who is that? He is known as the most handsome man in the LPL circle. Even in the entertainment circle, his looks are not inferior to any male star. Every day, there are female fans calling him "husband" on his Weibo.

But despite his handsome face, he had never seen any woman other than his family around him since he knew him, so his teammates secretly wondered if he was sexually apathetic.

However, it was strange that such a man who was not interested in women would have a woman walk out of his room one day. This shocked him.

Xiaoyao was looking at the beautiful woman not far away, marveling at her. Then, a sports car stopped in front of her. A driver got out and enthusiastically opened the door for her. The woman actually got in! Then, the supercar "whoosh" drove away right before their eyes.

Xiao Yao's eyes widened all of a sudden. She didn't dare to look at the expressions of the people around her. She laughed awkwardly, "Haha, Brother Huai, let's go up. Today's training is quite tiring, haha."

However, the man did not answer him and walked into the hotel as usual.

Xiao Yao scratched her head behind her back, not understanding their relationship for a moment, nor could she read Chi Huai's expression. She watched the person walking away in front of her and could only quickly catch up, "Wait for me, Brother Huai."

Lin Chaojin got in the car and listened to the voice message from Li Yin on WeChat, "Jinjin, I asked Liu Yang to pick you up. Hey, come quickly, I'll be waiting for you."

Liu Yang was driving, looking at the person sitting next to him from time to time, with a silly grin on his face. "Hey, goddess, you should know my name, right? My name is Liu Yang."

"Yeah," Lin Chaojin nodded indifferently.

Liu Yang was even more excited by this response, and he started to talk non-stop, "Hey, you don't know that although you only stayed at No. 2 Middle School for less than a month, you've still been ranked number one on the campus beauty list for the past few years. I just don't know who the hell took away your photo that was on the honor roll."

Liu Yang said this indignantly. He originally wanted to take it away secretly, but he didn't know which bastard got there first. Damn it, don't let him know who it is.

Lin Chaojin replied to him perfunctorily. Before exiting WeChat, she saw the WeChat ID and turned off her phone as usual.

Arriving at the bar and seeing the drunk Li Yin, he frowned with a headache. He walked over to help her up, then looked at the wine glass in front of her and frowned, "How much did you drink?"

Liu Yang received her unfriendly gaze and quickly raised his hand to prove his innocence. He said helplessly, "I didn't force her to drink it. She asked to drink it herself."

Liu Yang and Li Yin's boyfriend were good friends. When they ran into Li Yin at a bar, she looked familiar, so he casually said, "Hey, aren't you on vacation in Hawaii with Zhang Yang?"

Just this one sentence caused a hole. Li Yin reached out and snatched his phone, clicked on Zhang Yang's WeChat, and sent him a message: Brother, are you having fun with the girls in Hawaii?

Within a minute, a photo and a message came back, showing Zhang Yang with his arms around a woman. There was also a message: "Hey, wanna come join us?"

In an instant, Li Yin was furious. She picked up her phone and dialed a number, cursing the cheating man on the other end.

No matter how cheerful you are, it takes time to accept the fact that your boyfriend of several years is a scumbag, so you end up like this.

Lin Chaojin helped her up. Li Yin looked at her with drunken eyes and burst into tears, "Jinjin, none of those stinky men are good. I curse him to die a bad death..."

"Yeah," Lin Chaojin comforted her as he helped her out of the bar.

After thanking his friend who had just helped him take care of Li Yin, Liu Yang chased after them, "Let me take you home." If he didn't know that Li Yin was Lin Chaojin's friend, he wouldn't want to get involved in these things.

Lin Chaojin glanced at Li Yin who was staggering. It would be very troublesome to get a taxi now, so she nodded and agreed.

The supercar stopped downstairs of the hotel. Liu Yang got out and saw Lin Chaojin struggling to support someone. He stepped forward and suggested, "Why don't I help you get her up?"

It is not easy to support a drunk person, and Li Yin was restless when drunk, moving his hands and feet around. Lin Chaojin was a little struggling for a while and could only nod helplessly.

The elevator opened with a "ding" sound, and Lin Chaojin and Liu Yang, one on each side, supported Li Yin as they walked towards the room.

As she turned the corner and approached the door, Lin Chaojin met the eyes of the man who was looking straight at her.

Liu Yang saw her stop and followed her gaze. He saw the man leaning against the hotel door and immediately became alert. He asked, "Jinjin, who is he?"

When Chi Huai heard his voice, he looked at him coldly. The two men's eyes met in the air, and sparks flew.

The author has something to say:

Next, the story will revolve around the past events between the eldest lady and Huai Shen.
