Chapter 134 Gift
The next morning, Xiao You lingered in bed, unwilling to get up.
When I came back yesterday, I was covered in sand, and Lin Huai gave me a hard time when I took a shower.
Lin Huai lifted him off the bed, squeezed toothpaste for him, got his clothes, and treated him like a child.
Xiao You had gotten used to this kind of care. She dozed off the whole time and kept her eyes closed as he dragged her around doing things. She was still yawning when they left.
Stepping out of the elevator and walking down the stairs to the first-floor restaurant, a thought popped into my mind—"So reliable."
"Would you like some coffee? I'll go get some from outside," Mr. Wang asked.
Actually, the self-service restaurant has instant coffee, so there's no need to go out to buy it. Mr. Wang just wanted to go out for a walk.
"Why don't you come with Zongheng? I'm afraid you'll get lost," Lin Huai said.
"Huh?" Zong Heng was stunned.
"Hurry up and go, what are you standing there for?" Boss Wang had already stood up and was pulling Zong Heng out.
Zong Heng had no choice but to slowly follow along.
Upon seeing the two figures, Xiao You smiled.
I had noticed something was off between them a while ago. They didn't say a word to each other during breakfast this morning. If they hadn't been arguing, something must have happened. It was a subtle change in their relationship.
"Let's make this clear first: during this trip, no arguing, no fighting, and no disrupting the harmonious atmosphere of our 602. What happened to me yesterday is over and done with. You hit me and cursed me, so I'll just give you some compensation for your emotional distress."
Zong Heng followed behind expressionlessly, looking even angrier.
Is the compensation for emotional distress the same as the payment for prostitution?
Who do they think they are?
It seemed the two had run into a business deal, and the atmosphere was even worse when they returned.
The vast sea is covered with fine sand, and the sky is clear and cloudless, making it a perfect day for water sports.
Unfortunately, Xiao You didn't like sports, so she could only sit under the parasol, drinking coconut juice and watching Lin Huai swim in the sea.
He disliked exposing his body in front of others and disliked sunbathing even more, so he simply changed into a shirt and beach shorts.
After a long time, Lin Huai also got ashore.
He flicked the sweat from his hair and put on his headphones to listen to his assistant's report.
His watch suddenly rang while he was in the water, and when he saw the caller ID, he knew there was an emergency at the company.
Lin Huai turned on his computer, looked at the contract given to him by General Hai, and frowned slightly.
As expected, no merchant is without guile; now they're trying to drive down prices again.
Perhaps it was some kind of sentiment, but he didn't want Hai Zong to lower the price of this game, and he also felt that even if he gave it to them on their platform, it wouldn't be valued.
Xiao You looked at the files on the computer and said with a smile, "We won't go through any platforms. We can just put our game directly on the shelves and make it completely free to play."
Not far from them, a group of young people were chasing each other, laughing and joking. Further away, the sea was dotted with motorboats of all sizes, and Zong Heng was riding one with President Wang.
Lin Huai took a big gulp of the icy coconut juice and said, "Okay, the boss lady has the final say."
Due to a change in his work situation, Lin Huai had to return home earlier than planned.
Not only that, but I may also have to travel for work.
Xiao You also needed to take some time to visit his parents and explain the wedding arrangements.
In other words, the two will not see each other for a long time.
Lin Huai curled the corners of his lips. "I'd be dying to think about it."
"Nonsense, it'll be three days at most. I'll come find you after I talk to my parents. Don't make it sound like 'Autumn in My Heart'."
The sticky, cozy trip had just ended, and now they were suddenly in a different place. Lin Huai couldn't stand even an hour of that.
First day apart.
Lin Huai: What's my wife doing? (Fixing a dog's camera.jpg)
Xiao You: Playing games.
Lin Huai: Could it be with President Wang's cousin?
Xiao You: I think he has a lot of potential. We'll bring him in to play our company's new game in the future.
Lin Huai: I think he's interested in you, he's a threat, and you need to get rid of him.
Xiao You: ....
The day after we separated.
Lin Huai: Wife, wife, I've struck it rich today.
Xiao You: Can I resign now?
Lin Huai: I won 50 in the lottery!
Xiao You: How much did you spend?
Lin Huai: 100!
Xiao You: Where's your IQ?!
Lin Huai: It's with my wife. When will she bring it to me?
Xiao You: ....
That day, Xiao You invited his parents to visit his grandparents' graves together.
When he was in school, his parents never cared about him. Only when he was a child would his grandfather ride his bicycle to take him to school, and his grandmother would cook delicious, hot meals at home so he could eat them as soon as he got home.
But Grandpa passed away, and Grandma followed him, leaving Xiao You all alone.
As soon as I arrived at the cemetery entrance, I heard my parents arguing.
Xiao's mother: "What kind of child are you raising? All you know is giving money. He told me yesterday that he's getting married to a man!"
Mr. Xiao: "You have the nerve to talk to me like that? You've never given me any money, all you do is play around. Haven't you heard that this kind of thing is predetermined from the womb? It's innate."
Xiao's mother was even more furious. "You're a real scumbag. Even at the end, you're unwilling to admit that it's your fault."
Xiao You walked over and interrupted them.
"My liking for men is none of your business, and it's not something to be ashamed of."
“I am very grateful to you for giving me life, that is enough. I never asked for your love, but now that someone loves me, I will love him with my life.”
"I came here today to tell you, and also to tell Grandpa and Grandma, that I am very happy now and you don't need to worry about me. I have hot meals to eat every day. He is a very good cook and often gives me little surprises."
"Grandpa and Grandma, don't worry about me. I will be very happy. Mom and Dad, I also hope you are happy and stop arguing."
Although Mr. Xiao was not as angry as before, he still could not accept it. "At least bring the person here so I can see what kind of person he is and whether he is worthy of our family."
Xiao's mother shared the same idea, and the two of them were on the same page for the first time. After reading it, she secretly gave him some money to leave Xiao You.
Xiao You shook her head.
"There's no need. I live my own life, and I know best whether it's good or bad. Take care of yourselves." Xiao You kowtowed to her grandparents, then turned and left.
After leaving the cemetery, I stepped over the brazier and burned a photo of myself and Lin Huai for my grandparents.
He believed that his grandparents would be very happy too.
He booked the next available flight right in the car, bringing nothing but Lin Huai's intelligence, and walked into the check-in gate.
Lin Huai: My wife has been missing for several hours.
Lin Huai: Wife, wife.
Lin Huai: I can't get through on the phone either.
Lin Huai: Don't scare me, you didn't travel into another book to see men again, did you?
Lin Huai: I called the police!!!
As soon as I got off the plane, a call popped up on my phone.
It's finally working.
Lin Huai breathed a long sigh of relief.
Lin Huai's voice was trembling with tears, "Why can't I get through to his phone!"
Xiao You said, "Because my parents don't agree, so..."
"So what? You compromised?"
Xiao You sighed, "They arranged a blind date for me a long time ago. The girl is three years younger than me. They said it was a marriage between us since we were born."
The airport announcement was loud enough to be heard on the other person's phone: "Attention all passengers arriving from X, flight Y from X will arrive at 11:11..."
Lin Huai: "Are you at the airport?"
Xiao You: "..."
"Wait for me there." Lin Huai's tone was dejected as he hung up the phone.
Was it because her parents disagreed, that she flew to see him one last time, and then they broke up?
Should we live the life we are meant to live?
But what about him? What will he do?
Torn between inner turmoil, Lin Huai accelerated his car faster and faster.
Xiao You called dozens of times, but Lin Huai didn't answer any of them.
He immediately realized he had gone too far with the joke.
When the others arrived, Xiao You was pulled into their arms and held tightly.
He heard the person in front of him crying softly.
Before she could even explain, she heard Lin Huai say, "Even if your parents disagree and make you go on blind dates and get married, I won't give up on you. I'm confident I can influence your parents until you get married. They can hit me, scold me, or make me work like a slave, as long as I can get them to agree."
Xiao You's heart melted; how could this person be so sweet?
He hugged the person in his arms tightly and said, "I'm sorry, husband."
"Everything is resolved. There was no signal on the plane, so I told my parents that I wanted to marry you and that I only love you."
Xiao You took him to a place.
That was his secret studio, where a gift was hidden.
Xiao You: "Honey, turn on the light."
As the lights came on, Lin Huai's breath hitched, followed by a heart pounding like a drum.
Xiao You painted a very large painting, which is displayed in the center of the studio.
The two people in the painting, one wearing a suit and tie, the other holding a glass of red wine, accidentally fall into the other's arms.
Isn't this exactly the scene they encountered in the book?
