Chapter 124

After Chu Xia lost her strength and stopped struggling, Lin Xiaohan kissed her for a while.

When they separated, both of them were breathing disorderly.

Entangled together with scorching heat.

Lin Xiaohan tightened Chu Xia’s hand.

He looked her in the eyes and whispered, "Do you feel it? It won't lie to you."

In the silent night, Chuxia's heart was beating fast and violently in her palm.

Her heart was beating so fast that she didn't know how to think.

After a long pause, she finally spoke, with a hint of grievance in her voice: "I don't want to like you at all. I still don't know why you like me or why you like me. You don't have true feelings for anyone, so why am I the only exception..."

Lin Xiaohan looked at her and asked, "If you can explain the reason, is it still an exception?"

Chu Xia: "But I don't have the confidence that you can always make exceptions for me. I always feel that when it comes to real interests, I may not be that important to you. I don't think I have that much power to make you change so much for me."

Lin Xiaohan held his palm to Chuxia's face and rubbed her cheek gently with his fingers twice.

He sighed softly and said, "It's my fault. I was too hard-hearted and cold-blooded in front of you before. I always said things like I don't need feelings and I'm not interested in women. I was always tough and mean back then, really."

Hearing the last sentence, Chu Xia couldn't help laughing.

But she immediately tensed up again, looked at him and asked, "Tong Rui's father's attitude towards you is so obvious, he's almost going to leave you at his house, aren't you tempted at all?"

Lin Xiaohan said seriously, "Even if you weren't there, I wouldn't climb up this way. I can be hypocritical with anyone, but that's just temporary. But I can't just pretend to be a couple with a woman I don't like. You know how much I hate this kind of thing."

Come to think of it, he didn't use this method to climb up in the novel.

Chu Xia felt comfortable instantly, and her tone of voice had a hint of childishness. She continued to ask back, "So why do you reject all women but not me?"

Lin Xiaohan looked at her and said, "Are you trying to force me to death?"

Chu Xia pursed her lips to hold back her laughter, and then said, "Okay, I'm calm now, I won't make it difficult for you."

Lin Xiaohan also breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked at Chuxia for a while in the moonlight, and suddenly said, "Then do you want to..."

Chu Xia looked at him with doubtful eyes and asked, "Do you want anything?"

After asking, she looked at him for two seconds. Thinking of what happened just now, she suddenly understood what he wanted to do, so she quickly raised her hand to cover her mouth.

Lin Xiaohan couldn't help laughing.

He bent down and kissed her forehead, "Come on, I'll take you home."

***

After all this trouble, when we returned to Tianxian Temple, the restaurant was already closed.

Chuxia jumped out of the car at the entrance of the alley and told Lin Xiaohan to go back and go to bed early.

She stood at the entrance of the alley and watched Lin Xiaohan's car disappear into the night, then turned around and went home.

After washing up and before lying down to sleep, she thought a lot that night.

Thinking about everything from the past to the present, thinking about every little thing that happened with Lin Xiaohan, and even thinking about the future, including the future in the novel.

No matter how she thought about it, she felt that what happened between her and Lin Xiaohan was a big accident.

Two people who originally had nothing in common, two people who originally he disliked her and she disliked him, actually fell in love with each other, accepted each other and got together.

Because of this, in fact, in addition to often lacking confidence in Lin Xiaohan's feelings for her, Chu Xia also felt pressured whenever she thought of his ending in the novel.

Anyway, her own destiny must have changed completely.

But she didn't know whether Lin Xiaohan's fate would be completely changed in the future because of her influence.

Chuxia lay in the night, took a deep breath and thought again.

Now that we have come this far, stop overthinking and worrying so much.

Life is lived step by step, and destiny is in your own hands.

Take a long breath.

Chuxia turned over, closed her eyes, and didn't think about it anymore.

I felt sleepy and soon fell asleep.

***

Spring goes, summer comes, and autumn comes.

Life is going very smoothly right now, and time is passing quickly.

As economic reforms continue to deepen, news and changes in society occur every day, but when it comes to each individual, everyone's life changes slowly.

Both of Tang's stores are doing very well.

With more guests received every day, the money earned naturally increased compared to before.

Apart from daily expenses, there is no other use for the money earned for the time being, so it is naturally deposited into a bank account.

In July, Westinghouse's Jiang Guanjie also graduated from university.

He studied Chinese at a teachers' college and was assigned to work in the education system.

The treatment of these two graduating classes of college students is very generous. After graduation, in addition to being assigned to good units, after entering the unit and working, as long as they get married, they can apply for a marriage house.

If the story in the novel goes as it says, Jiang Guanjie will get married next year and apply for a separate marital home.

Because Jiang Shan rarely comes back from her hometown, Jiang Jianping and Xu Lihua are ambitious and don't want to be inferior to others in the courtyard, so they will move in with Jiang Guanjie when the time comes.

Living in a building is more convenient and more respectable, so of course they prefer to live in it.

There is no trace of the Han family's life.

Ever since Wang Cuiying and Matchmaker Yang had that scene in the alley and were dragged back to the yard by Chaozi and Guogai, Wang Cuiying has never cared about Han Ting's marriage again.

Han Ting was tired of married life and naturally had no interest in this aspect.

He still seldom goes back to the yard. Except for occasionally coming back to sleep, he is not seen most of the time.

Of course, he no longer hangs out like he used to, surrounded by brothers wherever he goes.

Ever since he admitted that Su Yun had cheated on him and divorced Su Yun, he had surrendered to life.

He is no longer the most popular Brother Ting in the city. He is nothing.

He often finds a place to stay by himself, and even Chaozi and Guogai don't know where he is.

There is no change in Chuxia and Lin Xiaohan's lives every day.

They work in the office during the day and take care of all the things they have on hand. When they get off work, they either help out in the restaurant or go out for a walk in the park.

On weekends, when I have time, I will go to the cinema to watch movies and to the theater to see performances.

In the golden autumn of October, there is a faint scent of osmanthus in the alleys.

In the evening, early summer rode a bicycle into the alley in the light of the setting sun.

Although Courtyard No. 1 now belongs to the Tang family, they have never lived with those neighbors and are not particularly familiar with them. Therefore, apart from doing business in the restaurant in front, people from the Tang family seldom go to the inner courtyard in the back.

After get off work, Chuxia still went straight back to Courtyard No. 8.

I parked the bike under the shed in the front yard, went into the inner yard to wash the handlebars, and then went back to the room to put down my bag.

Put down the bag and go to the restaurant in front to help.

Chuxia did not eat dinner immediately, but waited for Lin Xiaohan to come over and eat with him as usual.

But today Lin Xiaohan came over before getting off work.

Sometimes it is normal to stay a little longer because the company is busy, so Chuxia waited a little longer.

However, after waiting until after nine o'clock, Lin Xiaohan still didn't come.

Chuxia was so hungry that her stomach growled, so she didn't wait any longer and made dinner for herself.
