Chapter 52: Arrival "Where did you go?"
Shen Lin felt it was really strange, and typed again:
Is that my coffin?
Stepmother: You you you...
Stepmother: I don’t know what to say.
Lin Yanqing thought about it and didn't tell Shen Lin about being discovered. She just found it strange.
The funeral has already taken place.
Wouldn’t that cut off An An’s way back?
How could...
The woman frowned slightly, as if she was thinking of the last scene of their eye contact.
I shook my body and felt quite cold.
We still have to think of a solution.
Shen Lin held his phone and looked at it honestly until another message popped up.
Stepmother: I’ve been a little busy lately. Your brother’s mental state isn’t quite right, so I plan to give him some Chinese medicine to help him recover.
Stepmother: Foreign man, just watch as you eat.
Stepmother: If you don’t eat now, it may be too late.
Stepmother: Offlineing.
Chen Lin's face flushed red, he felt it was outrageous. He came here to escape, not to hook up with a rich man.
It is around noon now. There is a six-hour time difference between Finland and China, so it is probably evening in Rongcheng.
Shen Lin got dressed and prepared to go downstairs to finish his beef noodles.
The Chinese boss was a middle-aged man. He was a little surprised when he saw someone coming down. "I thought you would sleep for another day."
After all, you almost never see anyone during the day.
Shen Lin felt a little embarrassed, so he sat at the bar near the kitchen and ordered a bowl of beef noodles.
Lying on the table in a daze.
There is really no point in going abroad!
He wanted to go back. Three months had passed and his weight had been steadily decreasing. If he didn't go back, he would probably be nothing but a skeleton.
Shen Lin missed Lin Jingshan’s chestnut cake a little bit.
I don’t know if the housekeeper will blame him.
Shen Lin sighed, and thought of the premium blind boxes and Baji that he had not taken away, and he became even more depressed.
There's no going back.
Forget it, forget it, everything has a price, you can’t have it all.
Shen Lin was lying on his stomach playing with his beads while the boss was giving him a blowjob. Suddenly, there was a strong smell of perfume next to the bar.
?
He immediately sat up straight and looked to the side alertly.
This was a blond and blue-eyed man, smiling at him like a giant. Shen Lin didn't even bother to smile politely, he just stood up and ran to the boss's kitchen.
“Hahahaha, you scared him.” The boss said in fluent Finnish.
At the same time, he used a pair of tongs to get a piece of beef slices from the bowl and gave it to Shen Lin. He continued to communicate with the man after seeing that person took it.
"He is younger and doesn't want to make friends with you."
Shen Lin didn't understand. Finnish was a minority language and he was completely unfamiliar with the place. He took the beef slice and threw it into his mouth, feeling like a rat in the kitchen.
The people at the bar were still chattering, but Shen Lin didn't even look at them. He just stared at his noodles, which were picked up by long chopsticks and smoothly placed in the bowl, poured with broth, and tossed with a handful of beef slices.
Give me food, give me food.
But the boss seemed addicted to chatting. He continued talking, his hands on the table, and said with a smile: "He doesn't like you."
The blond man frowned and asked, "Why are you answering for him?"
Shen Lin stared at the noodles he had made, checking whether he had added sesame oil or not, and turned his head to look at the boss.
But from this angle, the Finnish man thought he was looking at him, and said in broken Chinese: "Nihao..."
Shen Lin: “…”
“Haha…” The boss thought it was funny and ignored the man, but just asked Shen Lin, “Do you want chili?”
“No, no.”
A bowl of steaming beef noodles is just right.
Shen Lin ran upstairs with the noodles in his hand, walking briskly. The man even tried to catch up with him, but the boss stopped him.
"Hey, hey, that's a private place."
The first floor of the hotel provides food, and the second floor is a private place. However, due to the characteristics of the building, it is more like a domestic B&B.
Shen Lin ran away in a flash, but when he went upstairs, he turned his head and looked back. The boss gave him a reassuring look.
He waved his hand to signal him to go.
call……
Shen Lin closed and locked the door, put the beef noodles on the small coffee table, blew off the oil on it, and waited quietly for it to cool down a little.
The more I think about it, the angrier I get.
"You must be crazy!"
Shen Lin felt that foreign men were not as good as his stepmother said. They either smelled of pungent perfume or had a strong body odor.
When I see an Asian, I will confidently say "I understand Asian culture" and then say "Ku Ni Ji Wa". If I get rejected, I will say "Aniha Siyo"...
Finally, there is a mud howl with ups and downs in tone.
“…”
What's good about foreign countries?
Chen Lin loves his motherland very much and misses the starch sausages and grilled cold noodles in the snack street next to A University.
The prices here are so high, his reserve funds will depreciate.
Shen Lin ate some beef slices, crossed his legs and used his mobile phone to search for rental prices in small cities in the 18th tier in China, which relieved him a little.
It doesn’t matter, he’ll just have to wait until he gets back and then he can just stay at home and lie down nicely.
Have a meal!
But the food was still very hot. Shen Lin threw away his chopsticks after taking a bite, and his tongue was stained red.
The man sat on the carpet at a loss, staring at the delicious noodles.
“How annoying.”
The tone of voice did not clearly refer to anyone, and the beads on the wrists hid the light scars on the skin.
*
After Lin Yanqing returned to the Shen family, an aunt came to pick up her coat. She frowned and asked, "Where's Yunxiao?"
"It should be upstairs." The new aunt said politely.
Lin Yanqing had no choice but to go look for someone, but when she opened the bedroom door, it was empty, so she had to go to the room at the end of the corridor.
Sure enough, the person was found.
The young man in front of him was still dressed meticulously. He had just returned from a funeral. He was leaning against the desk, looking down at the empty chair.
"mom."
Lin Yanqing crossed her arms and looked at her son. She felt that her family was rotten to the core.
"What the hell are you doing there?"
Refers to a funeral during the day.
Shen Yunxiao kept his eyelids drooping. "I just don't want An An's identity to be completely erased."
"I haven't asked him to divorce yet."
"He died as a member of the Lu family?"
Shen Yunxiao turned his head to look at his mother, his smile was uglier than crying, "Isn't his grave also managed by the Lu family? Ha."
Lin Yanqing said cruelly: "Of course."
The room was not very big and was located at the innermost part of the corridor. Shen Ning'an was only twelve years old at the time and had starry eyes.
——Is this my room?
——Thank you. I like it very much.
——Brother, which room is yours?
…
The more Shen Yunxiao thought about it, the more desperate he felt. He lowered his head and covered his face, not knowing why he had to start over.
He chose the right time to send him away personally.
Let him experience that everything is irreversible?
It was still a car accident, and he passed away before he was twenty, before he even had his birthday.
It became difficult to breathe.
"Hey...what if, what if Ning An was washed away? There's a chance he's not dead."
Shen Yunxiao suddenly raised his head, his face flushed red, and looked straight over.
“…”
"He's not dead, is he?"
“…”
Lin Yanqing turned to leave, but her arm was grabbed and she was pulled over, "Mom, you sent him away, right?"
"He has always been reluctant to talk to me. That time I wanted to take him away, he agreed immediately." Shen Yunxiao's eyes were moist, and he was completely puzzled. "An An doesn't like me, he hates me, how could he agree so quickly?"
"I led him along smoothly. He asked me what was ahead. I said Jinjiang Bridge. I thought...what's there to ask? It's just a road."
Shen Yunxiao was stunned and laughed at himself: "How could it be such a coincidence? I didn't reveal any information, and I didn't tell you either. Suddenly, the Rong family came to stop us, and we were doused with gasoline. No matter how I knocked on the car door, there was no sound from inside."
"Where did he go?"
"Is he mad at me? Left? Or locked up by you?"
The tone became frantic.
Lin Yanqing was furious, "I don't know!"
She just felt her head was buzzing and everything was a mess. She felt that working abroad was just a way of escaping, and when she came back this year, she looked around.
Sure enough, the knotted rope was still there, and even more difficult to untie.
"I agree."
Lin Yanqing frowned, puzzled as to what this meant, but when she looked up, she found that her son's face looked almost lifeless, as if filled with despair.
"I agree to marry into the Cheng family."
"Shen Ning'an and I are only brothers in this life, and I will never have any more delusions."
…
After eating beef noodles, Shen Lin lay on the coffee table and rubbed his stomach, feeling happy~
He registered a new Weibo account and posted a photo of himself eating the bowl of rice with the caption:
Wow wow wow wow, so expensive.
Want to return home.
Lin Yanqing got him a new set of ID cards and new phone cards. There was actually a little incident when he changed his name.
——Shen? Or Shen? Shen Lin? Why use this?
Chen Lin was not sure how he explained it at the time. Anyway, he always felt that a name was something that could not be changed all the time. It was true that people were always bound by their names, but at the same time, they lived in this world because of their names.
So some people say that a name is the shortest spell.
Shen Lin is an orphan. When he was abandoned, he had only a piece of paper around his neck. The contact person's surname was Shen, and the people at the welfare home registered it as Shen - male baby - full-term.
But the phone number was actually invalid. The teacher at the welfare home later told him that the name was given by a girl who came here as a volunteer. She hugged him and asked, "What kind of baby are you? Why are you here suddenly?"
Since it means “coming”, it would be better to just name it “Lin” with a single word.
No matter whether the future will be smooth or not, no matter whether the world welcomes it or not.
The goal of life is not necessarily family and love as the world believes. Perhaps we just want tomorrow's sun, the heavy rain the day after tomorrow, and the fresh air on a certain day in the future.
Advent is advent, it does not need any meaning.
Shen Lin still did not change his surname, nor did he think too much about the coincidence of this surname. There are so many people with the surname Chen in the world. Should he be prejudiced against a surname because of Shen Zhongshan?
He likes his name very much.
Shen Lin thought, since he had come to this world inexplicably, it could be considered as... a "coming" destined by fate.
No changes.
There are only fifty followers on Weibo now. Shen Lin has never posted any photos of himself on it. It is just a life sharing account.
He couldn't help but feel a little sorry for his account with 10,000 followers. That's 10,000 followers!
Now there are only fifty.
Shen Lin lay on the small coffee table, preparing to wash the dishes later, but he was just browsing his phone intermittently.
The technology industry is getting better and better. He can even check the "Changyun Plan" from time to time and occasionally see a manuscript.
It seems like an interview.
Will Lu Yuting accept an interview? ?
——The regret-making effect brought about by technological innovation is very widespread. I would like to ask you, as the organizer of the "Changyun Project", whether you also have any regrets in your heart?
Shen Lin's heart skipped a beat. What kind of question was this reporter asking? The technology industry was asking about technology issues, why was he asking about personal privacy?
But the finger slid down.
——Yes, my partner was in a car accident and left me forever.
——I often regret that I shouldn’t have let him go out that day.
Shen Lin was so scared that his phone slipped a little, but fortunately this time it didn't fall to the ground, but his heart was pounding.
Lu Yuting knew that the water was faulty but he still drank it. He handcuffed him and regretted... What? He regretted not handcuffing him tighter?
Shen Lin covered his face with his hands and bowed to the phone, still feeling panicked.
No more playing with the phone. No more playing with the phone.
Kitty sighed.
Lu Yuting...
Shen Lin lowered his head, revealing his smooth neck, looking a little sad.
In fact, it doesn't seem very suitable no matter how you look at it.
The family backgrounds are not compatible with mine, the personalities are completely different, and I am just an ordinary otaku.
Lu Yuting is the villain in the novel, and he must have a lot of connections with the protagonists. He still remembers the "Changyun Project" school-enterprise flyer. He knows Chu Xiu, maybe he has known her for a long time.
Just don't tell him.
Shen Lin lay on his small coffee table and sighed again, I am really sorry for drugging you.
But there is no other way.
In this book, you and they are the main plot, and I am a cannon fodder who died in a car accident.
?
Chen Lin suddenly had an idea and sat upright, and suddenly realized something belatedly.
The current "Chen Ning'an" did die in a car accident, and there were even rumors that the Lu family secretly killed him, which completely fits the "ending" at the beginning.
Shen Lin blinked his eyes, tried it out, and said to the air: "I am Shen Lin."
“I’m not Shen Ning’an.”
It was still quiet.
Shen Lin suddenly tensed up, sat cross-legged, wrapped his arms around himself, and took several deep breaths.
He closed his eyes and whispered, "I came from a book."
One second, two seconds.
“Ahahahaha…” The door was pushed open without anyone noticing. The owner leaned against the door frame and laughed so hard that he couldn’t stand it. “You didn’t graduate from high school, did you? You read too many online novels. You even said you were in love with someone. Hahaha.”
Shen Lin's heart was pounding. He covered his throat, patted his lips, and said, "It's okay, it's okay."
He can really be himself!
The boss shook his head, thinking that it was obvious that the child had disobeyed his parents and ran away, looking like a little fool.
"Alright, alright, you didn't even bother to bring the bowl down after you finished eating. I'll take it away for you!"
Shen Lin was so excited that he stood up and said, "I'll brush it!"
Before the boss could react, the young man in front of him ran away, and there was a clanging noise at the sink.
? ?
This kid.
The boss shook his head and said, "Okay, send it down to me later."
"Okay!" The tone was very high-spirited.

"What's the point of wiping this little thing all day long?" Lu Shen sat on a chair and looked at the classical piano on the second floor which was filled with small figures of various shapes.
The housekeeper was wiping it with a handkerchief, his face expressionless, like an old widower.
"I do."
“…”
Lu Shen crossed his legs, lowered his eyes to look at the small thing in his hand, and handed it to the housekeeper, "Lin Ye, wipe this too."
“…”
The housekeeper was indignant: "Can you please stop touching me? I wiped one and you touched another. What are you doing?"
Lu Shen laughed quietly with joy, and he seemed to have become younger. The butler also fell silent.
"I thought you were going to call me Mr. Lu for the rest of your life."
"Do you want me to find you a new job so you don't have to stay in Linjingshan?"
Mentioned again.
There was a gentle breeze outside, the winter was almost over, a few rays of sunlight filtered through the glass, and the second floor seemed less gloomy.
"No, I will die in Linjing Mountain."
The housekeeper continued to wipe with an expressionless face.
Lu Shen clicked his tongue, shook his head, and looked at the pile of cartoon figures of varying heights, but smiled inexplicably.
"Where did you go?"
