Chapter 86: Mind Your Own Business

After an unknown amount of time, Lin You gritted his teeth, picked up the clothes on the ground, and put them back on tremblingly.

The cell phone was lying in the corner, and the ringing had been going on for a long time.

She propped herself up and walked forward, bending down to pick up the phone on the ground.

The caller ID shows "Shi Jingyuan".

Lin You watched the screen with a blank expression as it first flashed, then went out, and then repeated the process of flashing and going out again.

He made more than ten calls in a row before Lin Youcai slid the answer button with trembling fingertips.

"Where are you?"

On the other end of the phone, Shi Jingyuan's voice was anxious and worried.

Lin You pursed her lips and swallowed the rusty taste in her mouth. Her chest heaved violently, and she forced herself not to show any cowardice.

After adjusting his mood, Lin Youcai spoke.

"I want to see you."

She seemed to have used up all her strength in these four words.

Shi Jingyuan didn't hesitate at all and asked, "Okay. Where shall we meet?"

Lin You's pupils were deep, like the sea that was brewing a crazy storm. In this dark world, once the storm formed, the explosive power would be enough to destroy all living things in its path.

She gritted her teeth and uttered two words.

"My home."

After saying that, Lin You hung up the phone. She was afraid that if she was even a second late, she would regret her decision.

She picked up the shoulder bag that had fallen on the sofa, straightened her back, and walked step by step to the door of the meeting room.

I opened the door and it was still as bright outside as before. Occasionally, a few company employees were talking in the corridor and turning to go into other offices.

She walked towards the elevator, passing by the doors of several offices.

The people working in those offices are still busy.

Their expressions were normal, and no one seemed to notice what kind of terrible humiliation had just occurred in the conference room just across the wall.

Or maybe, it’s not that they didn’t hear, they just chose not to hear.

Lin You walked out of the company door and stopped. She looked back at the company's name.

"clean"

Now it seems that this word is the biggest irony to this company.

A head popped out from the second-floor window and took a look at where Lin You was.

Although he was far away, Lin You still recognized this person.

It was the examiner during her interview.

The examiner looked apologetic and mouthed "I'm sorry" to her from a distance.

sorry……

The staff used her name to trick Lin You into the meeting room.

We are all workers struggling in this city of steel and concrete, and it is not easy for anyone.

However, just because it is not easy is not a reason to bully others.

Lin You sneered, shook his head slightly, then retracted his gaze and turned away.

The taxi stopped at the door of the mall apartment. When Lin You got out of the car, his legs and feet felt a little weak.

The driver saw that she looked unwell and asked her with concern if she needed to be taken to the hospital.

Lin You thanked the driver for his kindness, paid the fare, and staggered into the community.

Perhaps her expression was too terrifying, and passers-by couldn't help but glance at her sideways.

Lin You didn't care, nor could she afford to care. She just silently quickened her pace.

"Senior?"

A familiar voice sounded behind me.

Lin You paused and didn't look back, fearing that the expression on his face would scare his junior.

"I'm feeling a little unwell and want to go back and rest. I won't talk to Li anymore. We can talk another day..."

She had just taken two steps forward when Shen Yi quickly walked around in front of her, blocking her way.

The two faced each other, and Shen Yi saw her pale face and dirty bangs clearly.

Shen Yi's face instantly darkened, "Senior sister, what happened?"

His attitude was very firm, as if he would not let Lin You go unless she told him.

Lin You raised her head slightly, met his gaze, and spoke in a calm voice.

"None of your business."

Shen Yi's expression became even colder. He took a step forward and grabbed her wrist. Just as he was about to speak, his eyes fell on the rolled-up cuffs.

A flash of black marks appeared on her skin that was previously covered by the sleeves. Before he could see it, Lin You desperately pulled her hand back.

The time was too short and he couldn't see clearly what those black things were, but they were definitely not tattoos.

Lin You has traditional ideas and is definitely not the kind of trendy woman who would get tattoos on her body.

Lin You said seriously: "Chen Yi!"

Shen Yi was stunned for a moment, then Lin You asked a question that really scared him.

She asked: “Chen Yi, do you have a crush on me?”

Shen Yi didn't expect that she would ask such an irrelevant question without any reason.

He had obviously hidden his feelings very well. His plan was to make her let down her guard against him, and then he would take the offensive after they got to know each other better.

In his impression, Lin You is the kind of woman who is suitable for being boiled like a frog in warm water. As long as he lets her get used to his presence, he will have a chance to pursue her.

Shen Yi thought about it over and over again, but he still couldn't figure out where he had given himself away.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Lin You smiled angrily.

"Just kidding. A woman like me is boring and doesn't know how to get along with others. Of course, a man as outstanding as you can't have any feelings for me."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yi instinctively wanted to refute, "Senior sister, I..."

Lin You didn't give him a chance to speak.

"You don't have any feelings for me, and I don't have any feelings for you between a man and a woman, so we are just ordinary friends at most."

She had already said that she was not interested in him, and Shen Yi's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.

What he wanted to say was meaningless, and he swallowed back the rebuttal that was about to come out of his mouth.

Lin You took a step back, raised his neck slightly higher, and said the final conclusion in a deep voice.

"So, don't meddle in my business. With your current abilities... you can't do anything about it."

It was not until many years later that Shen Yi, who knew the truth, regretted it so much that he had countless hangovers and collapsed.

If at that time, he had not disguised himself as a junior who had just entered society.

If he was willing to show her enough strength to protect her, would things not develop in an uncontrollable direction?

It’s a pity that some regrets are destined to become the most unbearable regrets in a long life.

Lin You lowered his head, hiding the madness in his eyes in the dim light and shadow.

She walked past Shen Yi and walked back resolutely.

The bathroom was filled with steam and warm water sprayed from the shower head.

Lin You stood under the shower, letting the water wash over her body over and over again.

Just like what the girl who smeared ink on her body said, these black liquids were obviously insulting to the extreme, but they quickly disappeared after being washed away by warm water.

Dirty water flowed down her body and finally disappeared into the floor drain.

The disappearance of the sewage, like evidence of their evil deeds, was also washed away by the water.

Lin You carefully washed every part of her body until she heard a knock on the door, then she stopped.

She stepped out of the shower and casually wiped her hair in front of the mirror with a towel.

In the mirror, the storm in her eyes finally formed, devouring her sanity in a domineering manner.
