Chapter 654: Story in the Story Snacks
Since talking to Ding Li that afternoon, Lin Yiyi's life seemed to be the same as before.
Ding Li was as considerate to her as ever, and gave her many books with new-age slogans and quick ways to learn English.
Apart from that, life is a little different.
Xia Fu treated her better and better, and even invited her to her home.
Lin Yiyi saw that she was smiling kindly, but she always felt that she was harboring evil intentions.
You haven’t been wasting time in the mobile internet age. The workplace is about work, not a place for socializing or making friends.
She never took the initiative to get close to anyone, but Xia Fu always gave her small favors on her own initiative.
For example, I helped her collect clothes, saved breakfast for her, and occasionally secretly shared some unusual fruits with her...
This series of actions only made Lin Yiyi want to distance herself from her even more.
Even if you forget to collect the clothes hung out to dry in the backyard, the aunties in charge of logistics will help you collect them, fold them and put them away.
Because there is only that one piece of space for drying clothes, and it is all used for servants’ clothes, so where is the space left to dry the master’s things?
The meals reserved for staff in the kitchen are also fixed in quantity, so no one will be missed out.
Use the host's things as a favor, get close to her in private, and keep it up for a month as long as she is polite.
Lin Yiyi believes that she is not money or jewelry, so she is definitely not that popular.
Xia Fu was originally very anxious to get Lin Yiyi to leave. After all, she and Young Master Ding were very close in the past few months. Fortunately, this month, the relationship between the two seemed to have cooled down again.
Since she couldn't persuade her to leave the Ding family, she had to find another way.
"Xiaoyi, you have such good conditions, do you want to participate in the Miss Hong Kong City competition?"
Is there an event to select Hong Kong Beauty in Hong Kong City in this era?
Lin Yiyi pretended to be confused and asked, "What do you mean Miss Hong Kong?"
Xia Fu knew that she didn't understand, so she only talked about the glamorous and beautiful aspects. "The Miss Hong Kong pageant is an annual beauty pageant that selects female role models who are both beautiful and intelligent."
"I think you are very suitable to participate. The most important thing is that you meet all the requirements. You are single and beautiful."
Wisdom? Lin Yiyi felt that she was actually a rather stupid person, and she had nothing to do with these two words. She was also rather vulgar.
“Will there be any bonus for participating in the election and getting a place?”
“No, but I can appear on TV and in newspapers, and I can sign a contract with a film company.
If you join a film company and make movies, you can earn much more money than being a servant."
Seeing that she was interested, Xia Fu told her how glamorous and prestigious it was to be Miss Hong Kong.
Which woman wouldn’t be tempted to become a popular superstar?
Lin Yiyi always felt that Xia Fu had bad intentions, and she would not believe anything she said no matter how nice it sounded.
Besides, there is no such thing in the world that there is only gain without paying.
She smiled and agreed with Xia Fu, “Wow~ That’s great, I just came to Hong Kong City and don’t know anything.
You don’t know foreign language or local language, so if we talk about suitability, you are the most suitable to participate in Miss Hong Kong City.”
Lin Yiyi had also been to the city across the street. The movies shown in the cinema were either martial arts films or erotic films.
If a female star wants to be famous, she will most likely have to act in erotic films. She is not stupid and she will definitely not do that.
Things have come to this point, and the negotiations have completely broken down.
Xia Fu didn't expect that she was so different from others. She didn't get carried away when she heard that she could become a star.
Miss Hong Kong is actually an event to select girlfriends for powerful men in Hong Kong. To stand out, one must not only be beautiful but also be sensible and have people to support them.
....
One has no desires and is not tempted by tricks, while the other is scheming but has no idea where to start.
After a lot of twists and turns, time quickly came to mid-June.
Ding Li was busy for a month and successfully graduated from the University of Hong Kong. At the same time, he finally put into practice the most difficult words that Lin Yiyi said.
That morning, Lin Yi was working diligently as usual. After finishing his morning work, he prepared to take a break.
Just after she went downstairs, Housekeeper Mo arranged for her to go to the coast at the foot of the mountain to get fresh seafood.
"Someone is on leave today, so we are short of manpower. Xiaoyi, can you help run the trip?"
Lin Yiyi took the bicycle key given by Butler Mo, smiled and nodded in agreement.
The weather in Hong Kong has been very good in the past half month, and riding a bicycle to see the green plants in the suburbs is another way to relax.
However, when she arrived at the address, there were no delivery people on the shore except for people taking a walk and resting.
She looked at the sign again: No. 11, Lydoya Bay. It was indeed correct.
Thinking that others might not have arrived yet, I leaned on the railing to look at the seaside scenery.
There are new cruise ships as well as old-fashioned sailing boats on the sea, giving people a strange sense of confusion between different eras.
Turning her head to look at the foreigners walking along the beach, Lin Yiyi suddenly felt like she was actually on vacation.
The sea breeze felt very comfortable, and suddenly a few rose petals floated over and stuck to her face.
Before she could react, exclamations suddenly came from all around.
"Wow, there are so many flowers."
"Why are there so many petals floating here?"
Lin Yiyi turned around and saw the petals floating down the ramp across the street, her eyes filled with surprise and joy.
She didn't expect that while waiting for the late seafood, she would happen to see the beautiful sight of flying flowers in the sky.
I don’t know if it was because the wind was so cooperative or she was just so lucky.
The place where we stood happened to be where the rain of petals was concentrated.
Gradually, the petals changed from scattered spots at the beginning to covering the whole sky.
The sidewalks and two-lane roads were all covered with roses, turning into a sea of flowers.
Lin Yiyi smiled as she admired the rain of petals. She was in such a good mood that she wanted to spin around on the spot. However, she felt that it would be a stupid thing to do. She didn't know which unlucky person had accidentally scattered so many roses.
In her heart, she mourned for this unknown unlucky guy, and secretly sighed that she was lucky today. It was a rare opportunity for her to encounter such an extremely romantic thing when she went out.
Lin Yiyi was fascinated when she heard a man's gentle voice in her ears, "Ms. Lin, did you see it?"
She turned her head to look at the person who was speaking, and saw Ding Li holding a large bouquet of roses and smiling as he said to her, "It will rain red rain from the sky."
“…”!!
Lin Yiyi never thought that she would become the protagonist of the fun while watching the fun. The difficult words she deliberately put forward to draw a line between them were interpreted by him as a romance.
It was impossible to say that she was not shocked, but faced with the disparity in economic strength, she retreated even more.
But before Lin Yiyi could step back, Ding Li handed the flowers to her first, stopping her from timidly avoiding him.
"I didn't answer you right away when you said that afternoon. It wasn't because I was scared away, nor was it because I needed time to weigh the matter."
"But since you have those concerns, I should solve these problems that are restricting you, so that you can see that they can be reconciled and will not become an obstacle."
Lin Yiyi looked down at the rose in her hand, the smile on her face sank to the corners of her mouth, but reason made her break away.
"Eli, I love what you do for me and I'm grateful to you, but you and I are not equal in status. Even if we can be together now, there will be no happy ending in the future."
A breakup due to both parties getting tired of each other or one person getting tired of each other, or a breakup due to having to bow to reality.
Either way the outcome is not good.
"What do you mean by the ending?" Ding Li noticed her relaxation and his voice became lower and gentler. "Do you mean my parents' opposition?"
"If you are worried about this, then there is no need to worry. My father was also born in a humble family, and his union with my mother also transcended the inequality you mentioned, but there will be no problems between two people who are truly together."
Ding Li concealed the fact that his father was shameless and took advantage of his mother's misfortune to marry her, and made it sound like a match made in heaven.
"They all know what happened at home, and they don't object. Otherwise, do you think no one would talk about me spending the weekends with you?"
"..." Don't wealthy families want to marry someone of equal status?
Lin Yiyi felt as if she was poisoned by inertial thinking. She couldn't afford to lose. Although she wanted to do so in her heart, she still wanted to be strong. "... Then, even if that's the case, I won't..."
He interrupted her, "You and I are a good match, we have similar personalities and interests."
Ding Li held her shoulders and insisted on looking her in the eye. "Lin Yiyi, I really like you and I know my feelings, but can you recognize yourself?"
She was trapped in the high wall she built, daring not to let anyone in, nor to go out herself.
She just huddled in the corner, longing for love, warmth, and anything that could hurt her emotions.
"I...I'm a little scared."
