Chapter 32: Not Sleeping, Waiting for You
The next day, Lin Yan flew back to the county town.
Continue to work step by step.
The trip to Beijing North delayed me for two days, and the work at hand was also put on hold for two days.
The deadline for submission is running out, and she hasn't finished translating the first draft yet, so she still needs to revise and proofread it later.
Time is visibly running out.
So she started working overtime to catch up with the work progress.
I am busy from the company to home, from morning to night, and I almost don’t rest until late at night every day.
The busy life of going from one place to another is tiring but fulfilling, and there should be no time to think about anything else.
But occasionally, the image of Xing Yu's bewildered look as he watched her cry in the hospital that day would flash through her mind.
Such sentimental emotions shouldn't appear on his rational and solemn face...
A week has passed and Xing Yu is still in Beijing North.
Didn't send her a single message.
The two lost contact after they separated from Beijing North.
That night, it was already two in the morning when I finished work.
Lin Yan lay on the bed and opened WeChat, scrolling through the screen absentmindedly, but her eyes were locked on Xing Yu's pitch-black profile picture.
After hesitating for a while, she opened the chat box and edited three words.
But it has not been sent for a long time.
After hesitating for about five minutes, she pressed the send button.
【Have you slept yet?】
What she didn't expect was that Xing Yu replied immediately at this point: [I'm not asleep, waiting for you.]
Lin Yan held the phone in her hand for a moment, then typed a few words: [Is your injury feeling better?]
Xing Yu: [I wasn't well at first, but after finally receiving your message, I felt better.]
[Such a joke. How long will it take to be discharged?]
【Miss me?】
Lin Yan gave him a kitchen knife emoji in reply.
Then, Xing Yu sent a photo of his ID.
In the photo, he is wearing a military uniform, looking straight, solemn and stern.
Lin Yan enlarged it and admired it.
It's quite neat.
Xing Yu sent another message, and the tone of his words began to become distorted.
[Look at this man in the photo every day, and you will have a worry-free life.]
Lin Yan didn't know where she got the time to talk nonsense with him: [So, the man in the photo is the Buddha? ]
[Yes. I begged him for a thousand years before I finally got you.]
【……】
[For you, I turned into a werewolf~For you, I became crazy~]
[Don't be crazy. Go to sleep.]
Lin Yan put down her phone, turned off the lights and went to sleep.
But when I close my eyes, my mind is clear.
Xing Yu’s face kept coming to mind.
The phone vibrated again beside the pillow.
She still couldn't help but pick up her phone and open WeChat again.
【Eat well, sleep well. Wait for me to come back.】
She didn't reply, but her heart felt inexplicably at ease.
She turned over, her face resting on the pillow, and the corners of her lips moved slightly.
The next day at work, there was another bouquet of roses on my workstation.
Lin Yan threw it into the trash can. Su Xin saw this and moved over with a look of shame on her face.
"Sister Lin Yan, I... my cousin is still bothering you?"
Lin Yan hummed.
Su Xin felt very embarrassed and apologized with a frown, "Sister Lin Yan, I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble. I'll talk to my cousin later and ask him to stop harassing you."
"Okay." Lin Yan turned on the computer: "Go to work."
Su Xin sighed and just walked back to her workstation when she heard Lin Yan calling her from behind.
"By the way, Su Xin, I want to consult you about something."
"What's the matter?" Su Xin asked enthusiastically.
Lin Yan hesitated for a moment before saying, "I want to learn how to drive. Can you recommend a driving school in the county?"
"Sister Lin Yan, you don't have a driver's license yet? I got one when I was in college!"
I had no money in college and no time after I started working.
So I didn’t think about it.
"Too busy."
"Okay, I'll give you my old coach's contact information. He has a good temper and wouldn't curse even if you drove your car into a ditch!"
"Thanks."
It was already ten o'clock in the evening when I finished overtime.
The manuscript that has not been translated yet will be finished in the next two days.
The days of working overtime day and night are finally coming to an end.
I took the elevator downstairs and saw the eye-catching BMW still parked on the side of the road.
Lin Yan chose to ignore it, but the man in the car got out and chased after her.
"Yan Yan!"
"Mr. Su."
Su Mingjun scratched his head and smiled at her: "Yan Yan, um... you haven't eaten yet, right? There's a new health soup restaurant on Binjiang Road. I'll take you there."
"Mr. Su, I have already told you very clearly." Lin Yan's attitude was very clear.
"I don't like you. I hope you won't send flowers to the company anymore, and you don't have to wait for me downstairs. Also, don't call me Yanyan. My name is Lin Yan."
Su Mingjun's face turned stiff and he reached out to stop her.
"Lin Yan, I really like you and I really want to marry you! Don't think I'm joking. The first time I saw you, I felt that you were the only one I could have!"
Men are the best at speaking sweet words.
Lin Yan looked at him and asked, "Mr. Su, what do you like about me?"
Su Mingjun was stunned for a few seconds and responded with a smile.
"You're beautiful, well-educated, and hardworking. Isn't it normal to fall in love with you?"
A very superficial answer.
But it is real and straightforward.
"You don't know me."
"I understand!" Su Mingjun said confidently, "I've inquired about it. You grew up in your uncle's house. Your family background wasn't good. But it doesn't matter. I don't care. If you marry me, I will definitely hold you in my hands and treat you like a treasure."
Lin Yan looked cold and tired, and really didn't want to say anything.
Su Mingjun thought she was wavering and started to make promises to her.
"Yan Yan, as long as you are willing to marry me, I promise that I will pay a betrothal gift of 200,000 yuan! The house in the county town will be in your name, and you will definitely not live with your in-laws. After you get married, you don't have to work, and I will support you!"
"But... I only have one request. You must give me a son. I am the only son in our Su family, and we cannot have no descendants."
"What if it's a daughter?"
Su Mingjun spread his hands as a matter of course.
"Then keep having children! It's not like I can't afford to raise them. And with advanced technology now, we can even select embryos through IVF."
It turns out that he is the "frog in the well".
Communicating with people who are on different wavelengths is a real headache.
She said succinctly: "Mr. Su, you and I are not the same kind of people."
As he turned to leave, he heard Su Mingjun's unwilling and resentful voice from behind him.
His defenses were broken: "Lin Yan! How am I not worthy of you? With my conditions, I can easily find a young girl in her early twenties. You are already 28 and I don't despise you. Why are you so noble?"
Most men are good at pretending, so she still overestimated Su Mingjun.
His true nature was revealed so quickly.
Lin Yan turned around politely and smiled, "Then I wish you can find a young woman in her early twenties who can give you a big fat son."
When she returned to the community, the property management in the lobby called her.
"Ms. Lin, half an hour ago a man asked me to give this to you."
The property management handed over a courier box.
Lin Yan took it blankly and asked, "Who?"
"The man was wearing a mask and a baseball cap. He was tall, reserved, and seemed mysterious."
"At first I thought he looked like a criminal and didn't dare to accept anything from him. But when he said he was your relative and gave me your basic information, I finally believed him."
Lin Yan had no idea: "Who is he?"
"He said he was your brother, Lin Zhi."
