Chapter 10 Lin Yan, Happy New Year
Lin Yanshe’s dead face was reflected on the phone screen.
This is the first time in twenty-eight years that such a disaster has occurred.
She wanted to reply that it was a wrong number, but with Xing Yu's demanding personality, he would definitely not give in.
After thinking about it, I decided not to reply.
That night, no new messages appeared in the chat interface between her and Xing Yu.
She was quite used to the new home and slept until noon the next day.
After washing up, I ate some instant noodles and went out to buy groceries.
Today is Chinese New Year, and even if you are alone, you have to enjoy the New Year’s Eve dinner.
It took more than two hours to get back to the community after buying groceries.
As Lin Yan entered the apartment building and was about to take the elevator, she was stunned.
I saw a tall man standing at the elevator door, with a handsome profile and impeccable features. Who else could it be but Xing Yu?
He was waiting for the elevator with a bag in his hand.
"Coach Xing." Lin Yan walked forward: "Why are you here?"
Hearing this, Xing Yu looked towards her and asked, "Why are you here?"
“The house I rented is right here.”
Xing Yu narrowed his eyes and raised the corners of his lips: "My friend, you are really scheming to get close to me."
Lin Yan was confused: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"You knew I lived in Haiyu City, so you moved here on purpose. Right?"
Lin Yan suddenly realized: "You also live in Haiyu City?"
Xing Yu: "Still pretending."
"..." Lin Yan found it incredible and asked, "Do you live in this building too?"
"Um."
"What's the odd number?"
"18-1."
“…”
Seeing that she didn't respond, Xing Yu joked, "Why? You don't live across from me, do you?"
His bad mouth really came true.
She lives at 18-2, right across from him.
It’s a bad fate, definitely a bad fate.
"You really live across from me?" Xing Yu stared at her.
Lin Yan pressed the elevator button again and explained calmly, "I didn't know you lived here. It's all a coincidence. Believe it or not."
The elevator door opened, Lin Yan walked in, and Xing Yu followed and pressed the button for the 18th floor.
"Friends should trust each other." Xing Yu drawled, "I do. Of course I do."
“…”
When she reached the floor, Lin Yan quickly took out her key, opened the door and went home.
Twenty minutes later, there was a knock on the door.
Looking through the peephole, it was Xing Yu.
Opening the door, she asked impatiently, "What's the matter?"
Xing Yu waved the dishes in his hand in front of her and said, "No one has lived here for a long time. I forgot to pay the gas bill and can't cook. Can I borrow the kitchen?"
Lin Yan suspected that he did it on purpose.
"Coach Xing, why are you coming to the county town during Chinese New Year instead of staying at home with your grandma?"
Xing Yu's explanation was convincing: "I didn't bring her a granddaughter-in-law this year, so she thought I was an eyesore and told me to get out. There was nowhere else to go in town, so I had no choice but to go back to the county."
Lin Yan felt that Xing Yu treated her like a fool: "You think I'm easy to fool, right?"
Xing Yu took a step forward, his eyes fixed on her without averting or retreating: "Friend, have you forgotten that you owe me something?"
Lin Yan felt guilty and her eyes unconsciously swept towards the kiss mark on Xing Yu's neck, and she was speechless for a moment.
"This is actually quite easy to resolve." Xing Yu frowned slightly, speaking in a gentle voice, "Either lend me your kitchen, or... I can only return the favor with a kiss."
Lin Yan really had no choice but to do nothing with him.
She turned sideways with a stern face, her lips moving: "Come in."
After the door was closed, Xing Yu walked straight into the kitchen carrying the vegetables. He glanced at the vegetables bought by Lin Yan on the kitchen counter.
Potatoes, tomatoes, lettuce...
Sure enough, they were all vegetarian dishes, without any meat.
He walked into the living room and went straight to Lin Yan who was sitting on the sofa.
Seeing him take off his coat, Lin Yan stood up warily: "Why are you taking off your clothes?"
"Cooking." Xing Yu put his coat on the sofa: "What do you think I'm going to do?"
Lin Yan glared at him coldly: "You're always so dishonest. How would I know what you're going to do?"
"Don't worry." Xing Yu raised his eyebrows and said, "Although I have a strong sexual desire, I will never do anything indiscriminate."
Lin Yan: “…”
Xing Yu turned and walked towards the kitchen, then turned back after a few steps: "Are there any dietary restrictions?"
"Are you still planning on eating here?"
"I'll borrow your kitchen and eat the food I cook. We owe each other nothing."
“…” Lin Yan: “I don’t eat onions.”
"good."
For the next hour, Xing Yu was busy in the kitchen.
The fragrance drifted into the living room from the kitchen, and Lin Yan couldn't help but walk towards the kitchen.
She leaned against the kitchen door with her hands folded, watching Xing Yu's busy back.
The way he cooks looks pretty good.
"You're peeking at me." Xing Yu was shaking the spoon without looking back.
So narcissistic.
Does this guy have eyes on the back of his head?
How did she know there was someone behind her when she didn't say anything?
While complaining in his heart, Xing Yu's idle voice continued: "Friend, what are you secretly scolding me for?"
“…” It’s amazing, he can even read minds.
When Lin Yan looked at the table full of delicious food, she couldn't believe for a moment that it was made by Xing Yu, a rough man.
Four meat dishes, three vegetable dishes, and a soup.
It's quite a filling meal for two people.
She picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and took a bite. It tasted pretty good.
"How is it?" Xing Yu sat across from her: "Is it delicious?"
"good."
Xing Yu served her a bowl of soup: "It's okay... It doesn't seem too bad. Eat more."
Halfway through the meal, Xing Yu chatted casually: "What are your plans for the new year?"
"work."
"Have you found a job?"
"Um."
"Where?"
Lin Yan paused her chopsticks and replied vaguely, "It's around here."
"Good."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Yan's WeChat rang. It was a video call from Song Yanzheng.
Lin Yan hesitated for a few seconds, picked up the phone and walked to the balcony to answer it.
【Yan Yan, Happy New Year! 】
【Happy New Year. 】
What delicious food did you eat tonight? How was it like celebrating the New Year in your hometown?
"Ayan, who is it?" Xing Yu's voice suddenly interrupted their conversation.
She knew that Xing Yu did it on purpose.
Hearing this, Song Yanzheng's smile froze in the video: "Yan Yan, are you and Xing Yu together?"
Lin Yan told the truth: "Yeah."
Song Yanzheng was silent for a while, his brows gradually furrowed.
[Yan Yan, you and Xing Yu are not already living together, right? ]
Xing Yu's voice rang out again: "Ayan, the food is getting cold, come and eat quickly."
Lin Yan could tell from the video that Song Yanzheng was at his fiancée's house.
To be honest, as a man who is about to get married, it is quite inappropriate for Song Yanzheng to keep contacting her.
She is not a person who drags her feet. Since she has decided to let go, she will do it decisively.
[Brother Yanzheng, Ayu and I are having New Year's Eve dinner, so I won't talk about it for now.]
After hanging up the video, Lin Yan stood absent-mindedly on the balcony for a while.
When she turned around, Xing Yu was behind her without her noticing.
"Ayu?" Xing Yu smiled and gradually approached her: "Call me again, will you?"
Lin Yan was pressed against the balcony by him, unable to move: "Go home quickly after you're full."
Xing Yu put his hand through her waist and brought her into his arms, saying with a double meaning: "I'm not full, I'm very hungry..."
Lin Yan put her index finger on his chest, her face wary: "Let go."
"Scream again and I'll let you go."
"Don't push your luck."
As they were staring at each other, there was a sudden bang in the sky.
Colorful fireworks bloomed and fell freely in the sky.
The scenery is dazzling and beautiful.
Lin Yan's attention was drawn over and she stared at the gorgeous fireworks in a daze, while Xing Yu kept staring at her face.
The fireworks faded away and a low and gentle voice came to my ears.
"Lin Yan, Happy New Year."
Lin Yan was slightly startled. When she turned her gaze to Xing Yu, he had already let go of her hand.
Only after packing up everything did Xing Yu leave her house.
After returning home, Xing Yu received a call from his grandfather.
"Ayu, you're not going home for the New Year again this year! Do you really plan to stay in the countryside forever? It's been so long, and your father is old. Stop being angry with him."
Xing Yu said nothing.
The old man sighed and continued.
"I usually don't bother with you, but you must come back next month when Yingxue and Yanzheng are getting married. As the eldest son of the Xing family and Yingxue's big brother, you must attend!"
"Yes." Xing Yu said in a low voice: "I will definitely reply."
