Chapter 16 Who gave you that thing on your neck?
Lin Yan's mind went blank.
It was not until her lips and teeth were pried open that she suddenly woke up.
She struggled and pushed, but Xing Yu was like a wall and she couldn't move at all.
"Ugh...let go..."
Lin Yan beat his strong chest desperately, but her wrist was easily grabbed.
Xing Yu gasped intermittently: "Don't hurt...my hand..."
Lin Yan turned her head away and finally avoided his attack: "Xing Yu...you are crazy..."
The burning sensation fell on her neck again, and a very hoarse voice floated through her ears.
"Well... I'm crazy..."
He didn't restrain himself.
She couldn't help but get goose bumps all over her body.
After a struggle, Xing Yu finally let her go.
Freed from restraint, Lin Yan slapped him hard: "It's fun, isn't it?"
Xing Yu stared at her wet red lips nonchalantly and smiled softly: "Are you angry enough? If not, slap me again."
Lin Yan clenched her hands: "Xing Yu, I don't want to play with you."
Xing Yu stared at her intently: "What if I'm serious?"
"That's even more impossible."
His heart suddenly tightened, but the corners of his lips curled up: "Okay, then let's continue to be good friends."
After saying that, Xing Yu picked her up and carried her sideways, walking towards the dining table.
Being pressed down on the chair again, Lin Yan had lost her patience.
"What else do you want to do?"
Xing Yu walked into the kitchen, brought out the dishes that had been prepared in advance, and served her a bowl of rice.
"I kissed you, you ate my food, and we're even."
Lin Yan was annoyed thinking about what just happened: "I don't want to eat."
Xing Yu raised his eyebrows: "Haven't you kissed me enough? Don't you want to make peace with me?"
"..." She really wanted to find a Chinese teacher to arrest him. She met Xing Yu's gaze and hit his sore spot directly.
"Coach Xing, you're such a playboy, are you aware of this? Also, what makes you think I'd be interested in a divorced man? Please respect yourself from now on."
Xing Yu narrowed his eyes: "Do you care a lot?"
Lin Yan ignored him and picked up her chopsticks to eat.
After a while, Xing Yu finally spoke seriously.
"Mengmeng is the child of my comrade-in-arms. Her father died in action a few years ago, and her mother subsequently passed away due to illness. She has been living with her grandfather at home."
"I wanted to adopt her, but I didn't meet the adoption requirements. Mengmeng didn't want to leave her grandfather, so in the end I could only adopt her as my goddaughter."
"That night during the dinner, Mengmeng's grandfather called to say her daughter had a fever. I rushed back to the village to take her to the county town for medical treatment, so I left early."
"And I didn't come to see you during the New Year holidays because I went back home to be with Mengmeng."
"So my friends, I am clean in body and mind, and I am not a second marriage."
Lin Yan paused with her chopsticks, a little surprised.
I really didn't expect the plot to be like this.
Her words were less pointed. "So, you've been raising Mengmeng all this time? You've been covering all the expenses for her living and studies?"
"Um."
Lin Yan was silent for a moment, and her prejudice against Xing Yu changed slightly.
A bachelor in his thirties who is not married has to bear the burden of raising a strange child. In a small county town with a conservative mentality, it does not bring him any benefits.
Unexpectedly, he is quite responsible.
Lin Yan looked up again and Xing Yu was also looking at her.
She didn't avoid looking away, staring at his deep eyes and tough face, and in a flash of lightning, she vaguely saw a rare halo on him.
Noticing Lin Yan's strange gaze, Xing Yu raised his chin nonchalantly: "Are you fascinated by me?"
“…” What a mini ghost.
After dinner, Xing Yu asked, "It seems like your sweetheart's wedding is next week. Do you want to go?"
Lin Yan hadn't made up her mind yet: "Let's talk about it later."
"If you don't want to go, I can go for you."
"Need not."
“He invited me.”
"Don't be too idle."
Xing Yu smiled and said nothing more.
When Lin Yan left, he looked at her slender back, and the sad scene of her crying while staring at her phone downstairs in the community flashed through his mind.
"Lin Yan." He couldn't help but call her.
Lin Yan was holding the door handle and about to open it when she heard the voice and turned around: "Huh?"
“No one in this world is worth your tears. Having enough food, clothing, and a good night’s sleep is more important than anything else.”
"Remember, there's nothing wrong with you. You're fine, my friend."
Lin Yan's heart trembled slightly, and her nose gradually became sore.
At that moment of jealousy, she turned around, turned the door handle and left quickly.
The next day at work, Lin Yan was called to He Lan's office as soon as she arrived at the company.
Lin Yan guessed that Fang Jinyao might have gone to find He Lan.
When He Lan didn't ask, Lin Yan pretended to be nothing.
"Sister Hong, what do you want from me?"
He Lan looked at her with raised eyebrows, twirling the ballpoint pen in his hand: "Lin Yan, don't you have anything you want to tell me?"
He Lan was obviously testing her.
It seemed like she must know something.
There's no need to hide it anymore.
She told He Lan everything about Fang Jinyao looking for her.
And explain to her the relationship between her and Xing Yu.
After hearing this, He Lan glared at her with his arms folded: "You said you don't have any feelings for Xing Yu? You live across from him and you still don't have any feelings?"
"It's all coincidence." Lin Yan emphasized: "Coach Xing and I are really just friends."
He Lan's eyes were cunning, and he suddenly changed his tone: "Lin Yan, do you think Xing Yu and I are a good match?"
"match."
"Where is it?"
"Looks, age, job, all matched."
He Lan's words entangled something: "Lin Yan, tell me honestly, what do you think of Xing Yu?"
"Very good." To be fair, apart from being a little bit coquettish and wild, he is indeed a good person.
"So you don't have any feelings for him?"
Lin Yan said frankly: "Sister Hong, I just want to work and make money now, I don't have the heart to think about anything else."
"You really don't feel anything at all?"
"No." Lin Yan said sincerely, "Sister Hong, you and Coach Xing are the perfect couple. If you really get together, I wish you a long and happy marriage."
He Lan chuckled softly and glanced at her neck: "Who planted that thing on your neck?"
Lin Yan's nerves jumped, and she calmly straightened the collar of her coat.
She would never admit Xing Yu's masterpiece last night, so she made up a story: "I was bitten by a bug."
"What a coincidence," He Lan said leisurely, "Coach Xing was just bitten by a dog, and you were bitten by a bug. What a wonderful fate."
Lin Yan: “…”
He Lan shook his head and then waved at her: "Okay, go to work."
"Um."
"By the way, Jin Yao is a long-time employee of the company. Although she's straightforward, she's not a bad person. I've talked to her, and she won't bother you again, so don't bother with her."
"Got it, Sister Xie Hong."
As soon as Lin Yan left, He Lan went to the Jifeng Fighting Gym next door.
She went straight to Xing Yu's office on the second floor, opened the door, sat down on the sofa, and glared at Xing Yu who was busy.
Xing Yu glanced at her with a familiar look, his tone flat: "What's the matter?"
He Lan crossed his legs and swung on his toes.
"Hey, I won't act with you anymore. Now everyone in the company thinks I like you! Old Xing, not only is Lin Yan not jealous, she even wishes us a happy marriage! You've made a big deal out of it!"
