Chapter 5: Coach Xing, You Don’t Have to Be So Attentive
When Zhou Feiyue heard this, he felt a surge of superiority.
Looking at Xing Yu again, a hint of snobbery appeared on his harsh face.
"Lin Yan, it seems you haven't been doing very well in Jingbei these years! You're actually attracted to a small-town guy like this? I'm really hungry."
Lin Yan remained silent, without any emotion.
Zhou Feiyue pressed on, "You've been so arrogant since you were little! Since you can't make it in Jingbei, why don't you contact me? We're sisters after all. I'll ask your brother-in-law to find you a job!"
Lin Yan still didn't say a word and watched her performance calmly.
Zhou Feiyue began to lose her temper: "Are you mute?"
Lin Yan opened her mouth nonchalantly and said, "It's just a bad person and a bad thing. There's no need to argue."
Zhou Feiyue was about to yell with a gloomy face, but An Cheng patted her shoulder first and signaled her to calm down.
Although he was embarrassed, Zhou Feiyue still swallowed his anger.
After a while, she crossed her arms and said arrogantly, "Lin Yan, your brother-in-law and I came back early, and there's no room for you at home. You'll stay in a hotel tonight. My mother has packed your luggage for you. Go back and get it."
After saying that, Zhou Feiyue passed by her with his chin raised.
He even bumped into her shoulder intentionally.
"How about I give you a ride?" Zhou Feiyue suddenly stopped and pointed at the Mercedes-Benz parked not far away. She raised her hand and revealed the big gold bracelet on her wrist.
"We're driving back this year. After dinner, we're going to take your brother-in-law for a drive around town. You can take our car and we'll take you to the hotel."
Lin Yan glanced at the Mercedes-Benz: "It's a nice car."
Zhou Feiyue pushed her hair behind her ears and said proudly, "Your brother-in-law bought me a shabby Mercedes-Benz, only a few hundred thousand."
Lin Yan smiled, but said something else: "Civil servants are really popular. They can easily buy a shabby Mercedes-Benz."
An Cheng understood the implied meaning and pulled Zhou Feiyue away without waiting for her to speak.
When she calmed down, Lin Yan realized that a pair of burning gazes were always on her.
She turned her head and met his gaze. Xing Yu's dark eyes seemed to be soaked in ink, and it was impossible to see to the bottom.
He suddenly smiled and said, "You're quite good at talking."
Lin Yan said calmly: "You're already grown up, and you don't express your emotions on the surface. Are you waiting to hang them on the wall?"
After saying that, she went upstairs.
When she went downstairs with her suitcase, Xing Yu had not left yet.
He stood with his back to her, his head slightly tilted back, as if looking at the scattered stars in the sky.
The yellow light from the corridor spilled over him, making his back look tall and handsome. In the sparse halo, he exuded an inexplicable attraction.
"Aren't you leaving yet?"
Xing Yu turned around when he heard the voice, walked up to her without saying a word, took the suitcase from her hand and walked out.
Lin Yan followed behind him: "What are you going to do?"
Xing Yu stuffed the suitcase into the trunk: "It's on the way, I'll give it to you."
"Coach Xing, you don't have to be so attentive."
"Is wishful thinking bothering you?"
“…”
Xing Yu stared at her with a feigned contempt, and said to himself, "You wouldn't look down on a frog in a well like me anyway, right, my friend?"
“…”
After a day of running around, Lin Yan was very tired.
I don't have the energy to argue with him.
I just got in his car.
When they arrived at the hotel, Xing Yu helped her carry her luggage upstairs and then left.
When she opened the suitcase, Lin Yan saw an envelope inside.
The envelope contained a wad of scattered cash, about two thousand yuan.
Lin Yan held the envelope tightly, her nose feeling a little sore.
This money must have been secretly put in by my uncle.
From childhood to adulthood, Zhou Gang often secretly gave An Chunfang money without her knowledge.
The money was not much, but it was all the private savings that my uncle had saved.
She was only three years old at that time. Her father died in an accident at a construction site. Her mother took the death compensation and took only her brother away, abandoning her in front of an orphanage. She disappeared from the world and was never heard from again.
When she was eight years old, her uncle took her back from the orphanage despite the pressure.
From then on, she began to live under someone else's roof.
Although Zhou Gang was a coward, he often quarreled with An Chunfang over her.
To give her the best he could within his ability.
Even though most of the time, he was helpless against An Chunfang's dominance...
My thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door. I opened the door and saw the hotel receptionist.
The receptionist handed her the food bag.
"Ms. Lin, your meal."
"I didn't order anything." Although she hadn't had dinner yet.
"Someone asked me to give it to you."
"Who is it?"
"There seems to be a note inside. You'll know when you take a look."
Lin Yan took the bag and took out the note inside.
There was a short line of words written.
【Eat well and sleep well.】
I looked down and saw the signature, four big, vigorous characters.
Frog in the Well
Lin Yan stared at the note, and for a moment, she didn't know what emotion was coming out of her.
In short, the corners of his lips couldn't help but move slightly.
…
The next morning, Lin Yan received a call from her uncle, asking her to go home for lunch.
She didn't refuse.
Zhou Feiyue finally came back, so even if they couldn't get along, he had to give face to his uncle.
After hanging up the phone with my uncle, a message popped up on WeChat.
【Go downstairs, something's up.】
It’s Xing Yu.
Lin Yan drew aside the curtains and looked down from the second floor. Xing Yu was standing at the door of the hotel with a solemn look on his face, blowing smoke rings. He was always dressed in black clothes and black pants, looking rough, but full of manliness.
Lin Yan casually put on a coat and went downstairs.
Straight to the point: "What's the matter?"
Xing Yu glanced at the sweater she was wearing and said, "Friend, it's only 6 degrees today."
Before Lin Yan could react, Xing Yu had already taken off his coat and put it on her.
The faint scent of laundry detergent on the jacket penetrated her nostrils, distracting her for a moment.
She resisted the unusual concern.
"I'm not cold." She pulled off her coat.
Xing Yu patiently put the coat back on her: "I'm hot."
"Yan Yan?"
During the tug of war, a gentle voice interrupted their conversation.
Song Yanzheng was seen walking out of the hotel carrying a handbag.
Lin Yan was startled and asked in surprise: "Brother Yan Zheng, why are you here?"
"It was too late last night, so I stayed in the hotel for the night."
Song Yanzheng wanted to continue talking, but he saw Lin Yan wearing a men's coat. He looked away and saw a serious man staring at him with a cold expression.
"Yan Yan, who is this?"
Before Lin Yan could explain, Song Yanzheng's phone rang.
He glanced at the caller ID, a soft smile appeared on his face, and he answered the call in front of Lin Yan.
"Xiaoxue... yes... I'll go back to Jingbei today... I understand... I miss you too... be good... wait for me to come back..."
The gentle expression and doting tone were like sharp nails, riveting Lin Yan's heart...
Once upon a time, Song Yanzheng would touch her head and say to her, "I miss you", and would gently comfort her every time she cried, "I am here, I will always be with you."
But in just a few months, he was going to marry another woman and become someone else's husband...
"Sorry, I took a call." Song Yanzheng had an elegant smile on his face and turned his gaze to her again: "Yan Yan, who is this gentleman?"
A myriad of emotions were already welling up in her heart, and Lin Yan was rarely at a loss of composure.
A childish thought flashed through her mind.
She suddenly took Xing Yu's arm and smiled at Song Yanzheng.
"He's my boyfriend."
