Lin Nianbei searched for a whole week before Ah Xiang was "accidentally" seen by Lin Nianbei.
Lin Nianbei had been looking for her for so long and was almost disappointed. But on his way to work, he saw Ah Xiang sticking her head out and peeking at him.
When he saw Ah Xiang, his brain didn't even react before his feet had already caught up with her.
Ah Xiang was horrified and ran away without hesitation.
But how could she run faster than Lin Nianbei, and she kept falling down while running.
When Lin Nianbei caught her, she was covered in wounds.
"A Xiang, why are you running?" Lin Nianbei is not young anymore, and he was so tired that he was gasping for breath after running such a long distance.
Ah Xiang looked at him with tears in her eyes, then turned her head away.
"Brother Lin, why did you follow me? I don't want to destroy your family. Let's not meet again in the future. I will stay away from you." After saying that, the tears in Ah Xiang's eyes fell down and landed on the back of Lin Nianbei's hand.
Lin Nianbei's heart trembled, and for the first time he experienced the pain of unrequited love.
"A Xiang, what nonsense are you talking about. I don't have a wife, so how can you destroy my family? That's a misunderstanding. How can you, a woman, live without that job? Come back with me." Lin Nianbei's heart ached.
Ah Xiang turned her head and looked at him deeply.
"Brother Lin, your niece doesn't like me. I can't go back. How can I bear to make you sad?"
Ah Xiang bit her lips tightly, as if she wanted to bury her feelings for Lin Nianbei deep in her heart.
"A Xiang..." Lin Nianbei was anxious. "Xiao Xue was spoiled by me, but she means no harm. I will explain it to her clearly."
Ah Xiang gently pushed him, wiped the tears from her face with the back of her hand, and looked at him with her red eyes.
"Brother Lin, stop talking. Your niece just said I seduced you. If I go back with you now, wouldn't that just confirm it? I won't go back. I can't stand hearing people say you and I have an affair. In my heart, you've always been the serious and dedicated Lin Nianbei. You should be clean and admired by everyone, not be criticized for anything that happened between you and me. I can't stand that. Do you understand?"
Ah Xiang tried hard to hold back her tears and spoke with a sob.
"A Xiang, you..."
"Brother Lin, don't come to me again..." After Ah Xiang said that, she pushed him again and ran away before he could react.
When Lin Nianbei returned, his face was gloomy. When his subordinates saw this, they didn't dare to breathe.
Since Ah Xiang appeared again, Lin Nianbei could no longer let her run away. He found a few men and asked them to investigate Ah Xiang's case.
It didn't take long to find out where Ah Xiang lived now.
When he saw the address, Lin Nianbei's hands trembled a little.
Ah Xiang actually...actually lived not far from his house.
Lin Nianbei is the leader of the base, so of course his residence is very particular. Apart from the leader and a few important scientific researchers, there is no one else in that area. There are also many guards there, so outsiders cannot easily enter.
And Ah Xiang lived in a small, dilapidated house on the outskirts.
"I heard that Ah Xiang moved in a week ago and didn't take anything with her."
"People around here said that after Ah Xiang moved in, she would go out at a fixed time every day and come back looking dazed."
The person Lin Nianbei sent to gather information was reporting the information he had gathered.
The rest are watching, and he will come back to report as soon as he finds out.
After hearing his words, Lin Nianbei's face flashed with regret and self-blame.
Ah Xiang actually secretly watched him work every day, and he didn't notice at all.
She moved to such a messy place alone, without bringing anything with her. Isn't she afraid of danger?
Lin Nianbei clenched his hands.
"Keep an eye on her, don't let her run away again."
Lin Nianbei decided to go find Ah Xiang after he finished his work.
Ah Xiang, who was being stared at by several people with special abilities, lay at home doing nothing.
She turned over and sighed.
When will that damn Lin Nianbei come?
Can't you come earlier?
Just work, work, work...
The sooner he comes, the sooner she can fool him so that she can make her ointment.
Before, Ah Xiang was very happy to hook up with Lin Nianbei.
Lin Nianbei has no wife or children and is a lonely man. He has a niece. If she hooks up with him, she will have a good life in the future.
However, after Ah Xiang started working with her sister to make ointments, she was no longer willing to hook up with Lin Nianbei.
Although she is good at hooking up with men and used to rely on men for her livelihood, she had no other choice.
If she can rely on herself, she would prefer to do so. If men are unreliable, she would rather rely on herself.
In the past, she could only rely on men because she couldn't rely on others. Now that she can rely on herself, she is not willing to spend time dealing with men.
But this was the task assigned to her by her sister and Pang Ya. They hoped to teach Lin Nianbei's niece a lesson.
This was also the reason why her sisters saved her before, and she couldn't give up halfway.
But……
What a waste of time.
In this time, she has made so many ointments.
Ah Xiang tossed and turned, thinking about her ointment.
She really wanted to sneak out to make ointment, but she also knew that there were several psychics under Lin Nianbei outside, and it was impossible for her, an ordinary woman, to sneak out.
She was able to go out before because Lin Nianbei hadn't found her yet.
The house that Ah Xiang lives in now was found for her by her sister.
She just moved in two days ago.
She used to make ointments in a factory.
The woman who had moved in a week ago was not her, but an "actor" they had found. This actor had actually been an actor before the apocalypse.
My sister also used cosmetics specifically for that actor. Although those cosmetics had expired, they were still rare items at that time.
My sister kept it for a long time and didn't want to use it.
This time, it was a huge investment.
The actor was about the same height and build as Ah Xiang, but a little thinner. He wrapped a rag around his face and ran to the road that Lin Nianbei had to take to go to work every day, pretending to peek.
In fact, he wasn't looking at Lin Nianbei, he was just looking at the air.
But if Lin Nianbei sent someone to inquire, he would definitely find out that "A Xiang" was secretly watching him on his way to work every day, and was afraid of disturbing him, so she didn't dare to show her face at all.
After pretending to peek at Lin Nianbei, the actor ate something outside, then wrapped himself in rags and waited until the time came before going back, leaving a lonely back view for those around him.
Ah Xiang decided to meet Lin Nianbei in the next two days and switched roles with the actor.
After the actor finished his performance, he went to make ointment.
She almost went crazy when she heard that food and accommodation were provided. She originally thought it was a short-term job, but she didn't expect that after completing the short-term job, she could also move on to a long-term job.
She was happy, but Ah Xiang was not very happy.
She felt unhappy when she thought that she would have to stay in this shabby house for a few more days.
It’s not that she dislikes the shabby house, she just misses the fresh smell of the ointment.
