Chapter 61 Remember to sign the divorce agreement

Lin Yan had just arrived in town when she received Xing Yu's call.

Looking at the caller ID on my phone, I felt a little dazed.

It has been more than a month, and this is the first time Xing Yu has contacted her.

The ringing lasted a long time before she pressed the answer button.

She didn't say anything, and the person on the other end of the phone didn't speak either.

This went on for about half a minute before Lin Yan opened her lips and made a sound.

"What's up?"

"Where?"

"In town. At my uncle's house."

"What time will you return to the county town?"

"Later this afternoon."

"good."

End the conversation briefly.

Lin Yan stared at the phone screen for a while before putting it in her bag and walking towards Zhou Gang's house.

Since being discharged from the hospital, Zhou Gang's health has been recovering better and better, but after all, his injuries were serious, so he still needs to be well recuperated in the later stages to avoid leaving behind a chronic illness.

When Lin Yan told Zhou Gang that she would return to Jingbei tomorrow, Zhou Gang was reluctant to let her go and then gave her serious instructions.

Take good care of yourself and eat well no matter how busy you are...

After spending an afternoon with Zhou Gang in town, Lin Yan mentioned the topic from last time several times, but Zhou Gang still refused to talk about it, always brushing it off with a simple reason.

Lin Yan knew that it was impossible to get anything out of him.

When leaving, Lin Yan secretly stuffed a thousand yuan under Zhou Gang's pillow.

There isn't much I can give him, this is all I can give him.

It was already evening when we returned to the county town.

Lin Yan walked out of the bus station and saw the familiar off-road vehicle parked on the side of the road.

Xing Yu was wearing a black shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his arms.

He leaned against the front of the car with his hands in his pockets as usual.

The orange-red light of the setting sun shone on him, adding a touch of tranquility and softness.

But his thin jawline and high nose bridge always give him a sense of coldness that cannot be ignored.

I haven't seen him for more than a month, and when I saw him at this moment, I felt inexplicably nervous.

She walked forward step by step, her steps slow and heavy.

As if hearing her footsteps, Xing Yu turned his head.

The two people's eyes were attracted to each other like magnets...

Xing Yu walked towards her, staring at her face without blinking, with hidden emotions in his eyes.

But he didn't speak.

Lin Yan pursed her lips and took the initiative to break the ice: "Why...are you here?"

Xing Yu took the bag from her hand and raised the corner of his lips: "I'll pick you up."

His smile is light and natural.

It seemed as if he had completely forgotten the hurtful words she had said to him a month ago.

Facing him who acted as if nothing had happened, Lin Yan felt even more guilty.

"How long have you been waiting?" She didn't tell him what time she would be back.

"Not long." Xing Yu opened the passenger door: "Get in the car, I'll take you somewhere."

I'm leaving tomorrow, so just leave it to him.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Xing Yu leaned over to fasten her seat belt, shifted gears, stepped on the accelerator, and the car started moving.

"Xing Yu." She broke the silence: "I'm going back to Jingbei tomorrow."

Xing Yu looked ahead: "Yes, He Lan told me."

It turns out he knew everything.

Lin Yan stared at the Doraemon figurine in the car and said, "Xing Yu, thank you for these past few months."

"polite."

Lin Yan didn't look at him and didn't know what expression he had at the moment.

After hesitating for a moment, she took out the prepared divorce agreement and 1,500 yuan in cash from her bag and placed them on the center armrest.

"The adoption certificate must have been processed, right? Remember to sign the divorce agreement. Also, this fifteen hundred yuan is for rent, utilities, and food expenses for living at your house for the time being. Keep it."

Xing Yu was steering the wheel, a hint of a different emotion flashing across his sharp eyes.

He didn't say anything.

Lin Yan continued, "Sister Hong paid me my salary, and after deducting miscellaneous expenses, I don't have much money on hand, so I can only give you this much. As for the 500,000 yuan I owe you, I will transfer it to you via WeChat every month. Don't worry, I won't owe you a penny."

The car suddenly braked to a stop and Lin Yan fell forward suddenly.

I was so scared that my heart almost jumped out of my chest.

Before she could recover from the shock, Xing Yu had already grasped the back of her neck and forced her head to turn away.

When their eyes met, Xing Yu frowned deeply.

"Do you really have to settle this with me?"

Lin Yan's eyelashes trembled as she replied, "Brothers always settle accounts. You have no obligation to help me for no reason. What you owe should be repaid."

Xing Yu's eyes gradually changed from sharp to gloomy, and finally to only gray.

The hand on the back of her neck slowly dropped and flicked towards her forehead.

"Lin Yan, how do you, your ancestors, owe me anything? It's clearly me who owed you in my previous life."

After saying that, the car started again.

After more than forty minutes, the car stopped in a village.

It was already dark, but Lin Yan was extremely familiar with this place.

She followed Xing Yu and asked him, "Is this Hongshui Village?"

"Um."

"Why did you bring me here?"

"Just wander around."

Lin Yan was wondering when Xing Yu stopped at a roadside stall.

"Friend, you treated me to a meal and you still owe me one."

Lin Yan glanced at the simple noodle stall and thought that she should treat him to something good for the last meal, so she suggested.

"How about going back to the county town to eat?"

Xing Yu: "I have no eyes to waste the little money in your pocket."

Lin Yan: “…”

The two sat down at a roadside stall and ordered a bowl of beef noodles and a bowl of vegetarian noodles respectively.

As was Xing Yu's usual style, he took a napkin and wiped the oil stains on the table as soon as he sat down.

Lin Yan's eyes fell on his face, still puzzled: "Xing Yu, you can eat noodles in the county town, why do you have to go to Hongshui Village so far to eat?"

Xing Yu said succinctly: "The noodles in the village are two yuan cheaper than those in the county town. I will save money for you."

"..." Lin Yan: "I can still afford the face."

Xing Yu stopped talking, and soon two bowls of noodles were served.

Xing Yu picked up the vegetarian noodles she ordered and started eating.

"Xing Yu, why are you eating my noodles?"

Xing Yu pushed the beef noodles to her and said, "This is your last meal. The extra beef is just a farewell for you."

Lin Yan held the chopsticks and never put them down.

Xing Yu raised his eyes: "Don't eat beef?"

"No." Lin Yan: "Let it cool down for a while, then it will be hot."

Xing Yu brought her noodles, picked them up with chopsticks and blew on them for half a minute, then handed them back: "Eat quickly, or they will get clumpy if they get cold."

Lin Yan glanced at him and started eating.

"What time do we leave tomorrow?" Xing Yu asked.

Lin Yan paused, hesitated for a moment, and replied, "Afternoon."

"That's fine. I have something to do at the boxing gym this morning." Xing Yu said, "I'll take you to the airport after lunch."

Lin Yan lowered her head with a heavy heart and did not respond.

After dinner, she and Xing Yu strolled in the village.

As they walked, they came to the river.

Lin Yan stopped and looked at the big locust tree on the river bank in front of her.

After so many years, the locust tree has grown into a towering tree. Through the darkness of the night, one can sense how quietly time passes...

Xing Yu stared at her profile: "What are you looking at?"

“The tree.”

"Trees, what's so good about them?"

The scene brought back memories to her mind, and the locust tree in front of her pieced together the fragmented memories in her mind.

She raised the corner of her mouth slightly: "When I was a child, I often came here."
