Chapter 328: On the Waterside (2)
Tian Xin didn't tell anyone when she came back.
Firstly, she didn't want to cause trouble, and secondly, she didn't plan to go back directly!
But as soon as she got out of the airport, a group of friends were waiting for her in the car... Oh, and Lin Hai too.
Zhang Shuai, Li Jing, Gao Cheng, Gao Wen, and Lin Zhou.
Not one less!
When Lin Zhouyi saw her coming out, he stood up and walked straight over. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he ignored the teasing of his friends and hugged her directly: "You're finally back! I missed you so much!"
“…”
Before Tian Xin could react, he reached out, held her face, and kissed her forehead.
“…”
What the hell!
Lin Hai followed Tian Xin with his luggage. Seeing that his good brother didn't even look at him and even abused the dog in front of him, he was so angry that he wanted to glare at him.
"You value women over friends!" he muttered.
Lin Zhou then turned around and gave him a look: "What did you say?"
"You...you...what are you doing?"
"Uh... let's go... first!"
Tian Xin felt a little embarrassed. Seeing them talking, she slipped out from under Lin Zhou's arm and went straight to Gao Wen.
Lin Zhou's actions were perfectly normal for a couple who hadn't seen each other for a long time. Zhang Shuai saw it from behind, but he simply turned his head away and didn't react much.
But she did not show much enthusiasm. Instead, when Lin Zhou let go, she subconsciously took a step back and then walked around him!
"etc……"
Lin Zhou reached out and pulled her back: "Where are you going?"
"There!" She pointed at Gao Wen.
Gao Wen has been pregnant for some time. She has been busy and has not visited her during this period. She did not expect that Gao Cheng would bring her here today!
"What's wrong with you? Can't I even talk to Gao Wen?" She asked with a smile, looking at Lin Zhou's hand that was holding hers.
"Oh, no!" Lin Zhou was stunned, his eyes followed her to the hand, and he quickly let go.
"I just feel that you are a little..."
"What's going on?" she interrupted.
Her eyes were no longer as gentle as before, but revealed a sharpness and alienation that she had never had before, and she looked very cold.
Lin Zhou was a little flustered and quickly avoided her gaze: "Nothing... nothing! Go ahead!"
Hearing the sound, she turned and left!
Lin Hai casually put his hand on Lin Zhou's shoulder, and followed Tian Xin's back with his eyes. He took the opportunity to tease him: "Look, this is the girl you like. What do you want? You did so much for her, but in the end, she treated you like a grandson. You put your face in front of her and got a cold butt..."
"Shut up!"
"Okay, okay, I'll shut up, I'll shut up!" Lin Hai let go of him and dragged his luggage to Li Jing.
A group of friends gathered around the two people who were walking by, greeting them and laughing.
He was the only one still standing there in a daze.
Watching Tian Xin laughing and joking with a few others, so enthusiastic, he suddenly felt very lost for some reason.
That step she took back just now, and that look in her eyes, what on earth...what happened? Was it really because he didn't help, and she was still blaming him?
But before he could think about it further, the people over there had already completed the meeting process and shouted at him to get in the car and leave!
He was stunned for a moment, and his eyes fell on Tian Xin. Tian Xin smiled brightly this time and waved for him to come over.
Ugh...what are you thinking about?
He laughed at himself and quickly ran towards her...
Seeing that everyone had gathered, Li Jing suggested, "How about we go have a meal first? Then find a place to hang out and have some fun?"
The others said they had no objection and that anything was fine.
Tian Xin hesitated for a moment. "Uh... I have an appointment with Rumeng's vice president to discuss the move of 'Zai Shui Yi Fang'. It might take a while! How about you guys go first?"
"Hey, you are really great. We all came to pick you up, but you were not grateful at all, and you even ran away early. Isn't that so mean?" Li Jing yelled.
Her small curly hair recently turned into big waves, and her usual casual clothes were replaced with long skirts and high heels. With proper makeup and fiery red lips, she looks very feminine.
Tian Xin knew she couldn't win the argument, so she took the opportunity to get her to join the gang.
"It's not me who's running, it's you who has to run with me. Sister, the beneficiaries of this cooperation are the website and Xiaowan Village! As the leader of the website, don't you have to fight alongside me?"
“So what do they do?”
Li Jing looked embarrassed and glanced behind her.
"Let's go together!" Lin Zhou said.
After hesitating for a second, he reached out and grabbed Tian Xin, stuffing her into the car. He turned back and said to the others, "I'll take her there first, and we'll meet up in the north of the city later."
After saying that, without waiting for anyone to respond, he turned around, got in the car, and drove away.
Li Jing was left stomping her feet and shouting in anger.
"Hey, what about me? You two are running so fast! Didn't you say you were going together?"
!!!
The scene was silent for a while!
Several people stared at each other.
Seeing Li Jing angry, Lin Hai walked over and gave her a flattering smile: "Well, I'm not driving. Let's go together. I'll catch up with him!"
After saying that, he stuffed her into the passenger seat just like Lin Zhou stuffed Tian Xin and drove to catch up.
!!!
Now only Zhang Shuai and Gao Cheng are left.
The three of them smiled at each other, drove their own cars, and chased after them...
It was already afternoon, and the ancient city was extremely congested during rush hour in the morning and evening.
Because the appointment was for dinner and the place was booked there, Tian Xin had no choice and naturally could not bring Lin Zhou with her.
The two of them kept talking the entire way, mostly Lin Zhou asking questions and her answering. They had a good rapport, but something didn't feel right...
"How do you know that Luo Tian will agree to your plan? And Zhen Zhen, do you believe that she didn't lie to you from the beginning?" Lin Zhou asked.
There was a Faye Wong album playing in the car. Ever since she confessed her love, Lin Zhou had always listened to the song "I Do." But today, when she heard it again, she felt inexplicably upset.
After a few words, I couldn't help but press pause.
"I wasn't sure from the start, I just carefully analyzed the probability of him agreeing." She replied, "As for Zhen Zhen, I don't think it matters whether she believes me or not. What matters is that we have the same goal. She wants to stay in Rumeng, so even if she uses some trickery to deceive me, that's human nature. I'll find a way to help her achieve her wish and solve the problem for everyone at the same time. Isn't that enough? Why bother with so much?"
This sentence shocked Lin Zhou.
She had never mentioned any of this in their conversations over the past few days, but he couldn't help but ask Lin Hai about it, and only then did he learn some of the details.
Now it seems that Tian Xin didn't tell him not because it was part of her job, but because she didn't want to...
He was not with her during this crisis, which made her feel disappointed.
She could already solve all her problems on her own, and she did it well, and it seemed that she no longer needed him.
Lin Zhou's heart tightened, and he turned his head to glance beside him. Tian Xin had her eyes tightly closed, her brows slightly furrowed, and she had fallen asleep.
He sighed, closed the car window, slowed down, and suppressed the words he wanted to say and ask in his heart...
