Chapter 171: Blind at a Young Age
Lin Weimin left Han Zhuangzhuang behind and went to open the door, and there were actually two female comrades standing at the door.
"Why are you here? Isn't there a party tonight?"
"Can't we just come to your house if we have a party?"
Jin Ying pulled Huang Anyi into the courtyard. She looked around for a long time and said, "It's great, Comrade Lin Weimin, you actually live in such a nice house now."
"This is not a good house, it's just an ordinary courtyard."
Lin Weimin asked again: "Is your party over?"
"Well, it's done." Jin Ying said.
Huang Anyi, who had been silent since entering the door, had her eyes busy, looking around Lin Weimin's courtyard.
"An Yi and I are leaving tomorrow. Didn't you say yesterday that you bought a property in Yanjing? I thought that our old classmates haven't been here yet, so I came here to get to know you."
Jin Ying's explanation was a bit deliberate, so Lin Weimin didn't think much about it and let the two of them into the house. At this time, Han Zhuangzhuang, who was in the guest bedroom, also followed.
"This is my nephew, Han Zhuangzhuang." Lin Weimin introduced both parties.
Han Zhuangzhuang came over and asked in a low voice: "Uncle, what's going on?"
"Hang up your award certificate!"
After driving Han Zhuangzhuang away, Lin Weimin poured tea for Huang Anyi and Jin Ying.
"Lin Weimin, I see that you have bought a small courtyard and your job is so stable. Don't you plan to find a girlfriend?" Jin Ying suddenly asked.
Lin Weimin was stunned for a moment. Wasn't this girl so gossipy when she was in the Institute of Literature?
"Why are you concerned about me?"
Jin Ying pretended to be relaxed and said, "I'm just asking. You see, we are probably the only young people in our class who are not married. An Yi is just like you. She doesn't even have a boyfriend now."
"Hey, your words are easy to be misunderstood. I don't have a girlfriend."
Jin Ying rolled her eyes at Lin Weimin and said, "You are not a decent person at all."
"You're right. We are the only bachelors in our class now. Even Qu Xiaowei is getting married soon."
"What do you mean by 'this kind of person'? He is much better than you, okay? It's so romantic to be able to marry your pen pal!"
Isn't this just the 1980s version of "online dating in person"? What's so romantic about it?
Besides, regarding Qu Xiaowei's previous status as a bootlicker, Lin Weimin felt that this was more like "a female anchor meeting a top guy in person."
Seeing that Lin Weimin did not respond, Jin Ying continued, "'Bachelor' sounds bad, okay? An Yi and I are single young women now, and you are the bachelor. Besides, it's not that An Yi doesn't want to find someone, it's just that her requirements are relatively high. You don't know that An Yi has many suitors in Shanghai, and one of them is particularly outstanding, and he is the conductor of an orchestra. For An Yi, he was transferred from another place to Shanghai, and he is pursuing An Yi very hard."
"With An Yi's good conditions, it's normal for her to be pursued. The young man has good taste."
Jin Ying talked for a long time, but she couldn't help feeling discouraged when she heard Lin Weimin's words.
Is this person stupid?
She couldn't help but exclaimed, "That's right! These days, it's rare to find a young man with such good vision. Unlike some people, who go blind at a young age!"
Huang Anyi quickly pulled Jin Ying aside, with a look of disappointment on her face, and said, "Weimin, I see you are quite busy, Jin Ying and I will not disturb you."
Lin Weimin smiled and said, "I'm fine. It's a pity that you two are lesbians, otherwise it would be nice for you to stay at our house tonight."
When Jin Ying heard this, she rolled her eyes in anger again, and Huang Anyi smiled politely.
"Then we'll say goodbye first." Huang Anyi said as she pulled Jin Ying up.
Lin Weimin escorted the two out of the yard. It was pitch black outside, so he got on his motorcycle again and said, "It's getting late. Let me take you there."
Jin Ying's expression eased a little, and she muttered in a low voice: "Finally, I got something done."
Just like they did at the train station when they came here, Huang Anyi and Jin Ying sat in the back seat of Lin Weimin's car, squeezed together.
Huang Anyi didn't need Lin Weimin's reminder this time and put her arms around his waist.
"Hold on tight, both of you."
Lin Weimin started his motorcycle, and the headlights illuminated the dark and narrow alley. He turned onto the main street and rode in the direction of the guesthouse he remembered.
It was early spring and the night wind in Yanjing was very cold. Lin Weimin decided to send two girls off on a whim. They were not wearing much and felt a little cold.
Huang Anyi behind him might have been the same, hugging him a little tightly.
After more than twenty minutes, Lin Weimin finally sent the two to their destination.
Huang Anyi and Jin Ying got off the car, and Lin Weimin waved at them from his bike with a smile on his face.
"An Yi, Jin Ying, we'll see you next time if we have the chance!"
The two seemed to be in low interest. Huang Anyi didn't even raise his head since he got out of the car. Only Jin Ying waved at him perfunctorily.
After watching the two people walk into the guesthouse, Lin Weimin started the motorcycle and returned.
The trip back and forth took an hour. When Lin Weimin returned home, he hugged his arms and felt a little cold.
Han Zhuangzhuang ran over and asked gossipingly, "Uncle, which of those two lesbians is my aunt?"
"What old aunt? They are just ordinary aunts."
“Both of them?”
"roll!"
Seeing Lin Weimin's gloomy expression, Han Zhuangzhuang realized that his uncle was in a really bad mood and prepared to disappear.
"Hey, uncle, why is your back wet?"
Lin Weimin waved his hand impatiently and said, "It's raining outside!"
"rain?"
Han Zhuangzhuang ran outside to take a look. Why was it raining in this weather?
He was about to speak, but saw that Lin Weimin was already lying on the bed, so he tactfully did not go into the room to harass Lin Weimin.
The next day.
The motorcycle was parked at the bicycle shed inside the Guowen Society, and colleagues who met him congratulated Lin Weimin.
Lin Weimin dealt with everyone and walked into the back building. When he entered the office, every colleague still congratulated him. He maintained a positive expression and responded to everyone's kindness. Then he sat down at his seat and started reviewing the manuscript without even making tea.
Liu Yin and Yao Shuzhi murmured, "What's going on? Has this kid changed his personality?"
"I don't know. He just won the award yesterday, and I wanted him to treat me to a meal, but seeing his expression, I didn't dare to say anything."
Liu Yin suddenly gossiped, "Hey, are you heartbroken?"
"He's not even in love, so how can he be heartbroken?"
"That's true."
Liu Yin and Yao Shuzhi looked at Lin Weimin's condition and couldn't figure out what was wrong with him.
Lin Weimin's state continued until the afternoon, when he found Qin Chaoyang with a manuscript.
"Editor-in-chief, please take a look at this manuscript. Can you finalize it and publish it directly?"
Qin Chaoyang took the manuscript, said "Sit down" to him, and then started reading the manuscript.
Just as Qin Chaoyang was reading the manuscript, the phone on his desk rang.
Qin Chaoyang was so absorbed in reading the manuscript that he said, "Weimin, can you help me take it over?"
Lin Weimin stood up and took the phone.
"Hello, I'm looking for Lin Weimin." A clear and soft female voice came from the phone.
Lin Weimin hesitated for two seconds, "An Yi?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone, as if no one expected that it would be Lin Weimin who answered the call.
After more than ten seconds, Huang Anyi's voice sounded again.
"Are you busy at work? Is it convenient for us to talk?"
"convenient."
Silence again.
"I'm on the afternoon train."
"I have work today, so I won't send you off."
"Um."
Huang Anyi waited for a while and deliberately asked in a cheerful tone: "After this departure, I don't know when we will meet again. Maybe it will be when I come to your wedding."
Lin Weimin chuckled and said, "Then you'll have to wait."
"I'm not afraid of waiting!" Huang Anyi followed subconsciously.
There was a long silence on both ends of the line.
After a long time, Huang Anyi's voice rang out again on the other end of the line, "Lin Weimin, stop talking, the train is about to leave."
"Okay, goodbye, take care on your journey."
"goodbye!"
After hanging up the phone, Lin Weimin looked melancholy.
I am destined to be a scumbag, why do you do this?
He looked up again and met Qin Chaoyang's interested eyes.
Lin Weimin felt guilty for a moment and asked with a smile, "Editor-in-chief, have you finished reading the manuscript?"
"I've finished reading it." Qin Chaoyang put the manuscript on the desk.
"How about it?"
Qin Chaoyang said: "The quality is very good, very rare. I see the author is Shi Tiesheng, you have made a good friend!"
"Boss, the way you say this makes it seem like I make friends just to get articles."
Qin Chaoyang looked at Lin Weimin deeply, making him uneasy.
"Leader, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
"Go ahead."
Lin Weimin returned to the office, sat at the desk, and looked out the window in a daze.
Huang Anyi's voice rang in his ears again.
Lin Weimin shook his head depressedly.
Women are indeed stumbling blocks on the road to men's success.
After sorting out his feelings, Lin Weimin turned his energy back to work.
On the train from Yanjing to Baoding, Jin Ying was still thinking about yesterday's experience, and the more she thought about it, the angrier she became.
After the award ceremony, she chatted with Huang Anyi about the topic of love and marriage. Huang Anyi avoided the question. She knew that Jin Ying liked Lin Weimin when she was studying at the Institute of Literature, but she didn't expect that she still hasn't given up on Lin Weimin.
Jin Ying wanted to take this opportunity to bring the two together, so she deliberately postponed her evening party, even Huang Anyi's, and took her to find Lin Weimin's house.
But she never imagined that Lin Weimin would be so unromantic, even worse than when he was in the Institute of Literature.
She angrily questioned the middle-aged woman she had just met on the train, "Sister, tell me about this person, is he going too far?"
After listening to Jin Ying's narration, the elder sister's expression was calm. "Little girl, you can't say that. I think that boy is quite nice. If it's really like what you said, he must have known the girl's thoughts a long time ago. You have all done this, but he hasn't expressed his opinion yet, which proves that he doesn't have that intention at all, and he is giving you enough face!"
Jin Ying didn't get the response she wanted and looked surprised.
She frowned, "So, he is still a good person?"
"Of course, the boy is pretty good!"
Jin Ying muttered, "He? He doesn't look like a good person at all!"
