Chapter 17 Do you want me to send you some movies to stimulate you?
Xing Yujing sat at his desk, processing the ledger.
There was a hint of weariness mixed with the solemnity.
He didn't raise his eyes: "It's your turn to act, it has nothing to do with me."
He Lan scoffed, feeling like he was being backstabbed. "Old Xing, you're really going too far! I was kind enough to assist you, but you're trying to shift the blame onto me?"
Xing Yu flipped through the documents with bony fingers, speaking sparingly: "She won't buy it."
He Lan couldn't control his impatience and fired at him in frustration.
"Then what's she got into? You know her so well, why haven't you gotten her yet? If you like her, just pursue her openly! You're already a grown man, why are you playing around with innocent things behind her back?"
Xing Yu closed the file and frowned: "Is it obvious?"
"What the hell?"
"I am to her." Xing Yu asked seriously: "Isn't it obvious?"
He Lan raised his orchid finger and pressed it against the corner of his eye: "I'm not blind."
Xing Yu remained silent and did not respond.
He Lan picked up the apple on the table, wiped it roughly with his sleeve, put it in his mouth and took a bite, then began to make a well-reasoned statement.
"Old Xing, what kind of person are you? I've never seen you so attentive to any woman since I met you. You rented her a house quietly and recommended her to work for me. If you're not interested in Lin Yan, I'll eat shit live on you."
Xing Yu didn't deny it. He took out a cigarette from his cigarette case, took out a cigarette, and put it in his mouth. He said calmly: "Don't make trouble in the future. Some things can't be rushed."
He Lan chewed an apple and shook his head. He pulled a chair and sat opposite him, starting to nag him earnestly.
"Old Xing, don't be careless. Lin Yan is beautiful and capable, and she's been in the big city for so many years. She must have very high standards when it comes to men. If you don't act quickly, there will be plenty of people who will make a move. If it weren't for your age, I wouldn't bother worrying about you."
"Old Xing, you have to stand up! Women don't love men who are not bad. When it's time to be wild, you have to be wild! Be wild as much as you can! Wild into her heart!"
Xing Yu slowly exhaled a smoke ring, his eyes covered with a layer of mysterious darkness: "How do you know, I'm not wild anymore."
An affirmative sentence, not a rhetorical question.
He Lan was amused by his confident attitude and continued.
"How can an old cadre like you be so wild? You wear the same style of clothes over and over again year after year. You have no material desires and no understanding of romance. You spend all your time drinking tea or fishing. If you don't know me, you'd think you were from the same generation as my grandfather."
"Do you know how to say sweet words? Do you know how to flirt with girls? You only have a rough and tumble appearance, but inside, you're as pure as a baby."
"Brother Xing, do you want me to send you some exciting movies? High-definition and uncensored, absolutely amazing!"
Xing Yu, cigarette in hand, gave her a deadpan look and said, "You want me to give you an award?"
"What award? The most caring buddy award?"
“Nobel keeps talking.”
He Lan felt bored, threw away the half-eaten apple, stood up and yawned: "Okay, playing the lute to a cow. Let's go."
"Yeah." Xing Yu leaned back in his chair and said, "Hurry back and watch your movie."
"..." He Lan mouthed the word to him: "Get lost."
When he reached the door, He Lan stopped and turned around.
"By the way, Old Xing, guess what I saw this morning?"
"explain."
He Lan raised his voice to provoke him: "I saw a man's kiss mark on Lin Yan's neck. If you don't do anything, she will probably be snatched away by a wild man!"
When he returned to the company, He Lan saw Su Xin lying in front of Lin Yan's workstation, talking about something stealthily.
Su Xin had just graduated and was young, so he was known as a slacker in the company.
She cleared her throat and said, "Xiao Su, are you out of work? How about I arrange some for you?"
Even though He Lan had a good time with them in private, he was still the boss after all.
I still feel a little nervous after being caught in the act.
She shrank her neck in a flattering manner and quickly rolled back to her workstation.
Seeing He Lan leave, Su Xin turned back and cast a look at Lin Yan: "Sister Lin Yan, then it's a deal!"
Lin Yan was too busy to pay attention to her.
It was not until she got off work at noon that Su Xin, like a sparrow, pounced on her again.
"Let's go, Sister Lin Yan, my cousin is waiting for you downstairs!"
Lin Yan stared at the computer: "I really don't want to go."
Su Xin stamped her foot and began to pull her with brute force: "Hey, just treat it as a simple meal, let's go! If you don't go, I'll have my cousin come upstairs to find you!"
Lin Yan closed her eyes, feeling upset.
But he felt that the enthusiastic and simple Su Xin had no ill intentions, so he agreed reluctantly.
I went downstairs and no one else saw me.
Instead, I saw Xing Yu, who was as tall as a green pine tree, standing at the door next door. He was standing face to face and chatting with a man holding flowers. The two seemed to know each other very well.
"Cousin!" Su Xin suddenly shouted over there, "Here!"
As the voice fell, Xing Yu and the man looked over here at the same time.
Whether it was inertia or some mysterious attraction, Lin Yan subconsciously looked towards Xing Yu.
As they looked at each other, the man had already walked up to her and generously handed her a bouquet of red roses.
"Hello Lin Yan, I'm Su Mingjun, Xinxin's cousin."
Looking at the gentle and refined man in front of her, Lin Yan felt overwhelmed and replied indifferently: "Well, hello."
Su Xin noticed the awkward atmosphere, took the flowers for Lin Yan, put her arm around Lin Yan's shoulders, and walked towards the BMW parked on the side of the road while talking.
"Come on, Sister Lin Yan, let's go eat hot pot! My cousin's hot pot restaurant is doing really well, and the food is unparalleled in our county!"
Su Mingjun considerately opened the passenger door for her, and she was pushed up by Su Xin.
When she got in the car, she could clearly feel a sharp gaze from behind piercing through her bit by bit.
Even as the car started moving, Lin Yan couldn't help but glance at the rearview mirror.
The slender figure in the mirror stood still, his gaze following the car...
Lin Yan felt very uncomfortable while eating this hotpot.
Not to mention that she can't eat spicy food, just Su Mingjun's warm kindness towards her.
It made her feel more stressed.
After the meal, she politely declined Su Mingjun's offer and left the hot pot restaurant first.
Su Xin chased after her and looked at her cautiously: "Sister Lin Yan, are you... angry?"
"It's too spicy." Lin Yan's mouth is numb now.
Su Xin quickly went to the store to buy a bottle of water, unscrewed it and handed it to her: "Sister Lin Yan, if you had told me earlier, I would have asked my cousin to serve it slightly spicy."
Lin Yan found a chair on the side of the road and sat down. After a moment, she told Su Xin, "Don't arrange blind dates for me anymore. I don't want to be in a relationship."
"Why?" Su Xin didn't understand: "Sister Lin Yan, falling in love is great! If you meet the right person, he will be your confidence! You won't have to work so hard anymore."
"My confidence has never come from men." Lin Yan said in a calm but firm tone: "At my age, my confidence comes from a stable job, a good income, and a healthy body. Confidence is something I give myself, so no one else can become my confidence."
This independent and sober speech shut Su Xin's mouth.
She turned her head to look at Lin Yan, and suddenly understood why Lin Yan worked so hard every day.
"But Sister Lin Yan, I think you're really tired at work."
"Who doesn't suffer when struggling in life?" Lin Yan looked at her. "Fate always uses painful moments to test people's limits of endurance. No one can estimate their own resilience. So even if it's tiring, we have to live day by day."
The discussion was too profound for Su Xin to understand.
She patted Lin Yan's shoulder and smiled warmer than the sun.
"Sister Lin Yan, people who live too thoroughly are unhappy. Look at me, I live heartlessly every day, how happy I am!"
"I don't even want to go to work, I'm almost depressed from this shift!"
Lin Yan hits the nail on the head: "If you go to work, you will feel depressed, but if you don't go to work, you will feel anxious."
Su Xin touched her nose and muttered, "It seems so..."
While chatting, Lin Yan's phone vibrated.
I opened WeChat and it was Xing Yu.
【Is the hot pot delicious? 】
Lin Yan glanced at it and didn't plan to reply.
As a result, the message came again.
【come over. 】
Lin Yan was startled and looked up.
There was an off-road vehicle parked across the street, and Xing Yu was leaning lazily against the car.
The moment their eyes met, his pale, thin lips suddenly curved up...
