Chapter 116: Thousands of cuts or slow death?
Aliang put down the bowl and opened the lid. A wave of hot steam came up and the aroma of wonton noodles immediately spread out, smelling particularly fragrant.
"It's still hot, Mr. Lin, eat it quickly. I'll have to bring you another bowl later."
Lin Jianyan took the chopsticks that Ah Jun handed over, and seeing that the two men looked a little nervous, he smiled helplessly, "Please bring it back for me, then I won't be polite."
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Lin Jianyan was eating with great relish and didn't show any disdain on his face.
They had just gone out to eat and found it was quite windy outside, so they thought of bringing some food back so that Mr. Lin wouldn't have to go out in the wind.
At first, the two were a little uneasy, fearing that their meal would be considered cheap, nor did they think Lin Jianyan had a bad temper.
But they thought that Mr. Lin should sit in a high-end restaurant, listen to soothing music, and eat a meal slowly and elegantly, instead of eating the same wonton noodles as them.
Maybe he was really hungry or the rice was really tasty, Lin Jianyan finished the meal quickly, and Aliang stood up immediately and cleaned up the dishes. Ajun opened the window a little to disperse the smell in the room.
When they left, Lin Jianyan noticed that Ah Jun was looking at the bookshelf behind him, and seemed to be hesitant to speak. He suddenly thought of something, raised his eyebrows, and deliberately asked, "Ah Jun, what are you looking at? Did you drop something?"
He didn't suspect that Ajun had any other bad intentions. He was just simply curious and had a little bit of bad taste.
Hearing Lin Jianyan's question, Aliang also looked over curiously.
"Uh..." Ajun's expression was a little conflicted, and he didn't know whether he should say it or not.
Ah Liang had been his partner for many years. He knew something was wrong when he saw his expression. He looked at him suspiciously, "Did you do something bad?"
Ah Jun immediately retorted loudly: "I didn't, I have always been loyal!"
"Why do you look like that? Is there something you can't say?"
Ajun was stunned, and he stammered for a long time without saying a word. Lin Jianyan was not in a hurry and just held his chin with his hands, looking at him with a smile in his eyes.
Seeing his hesitation, Liang rolled his eyes and said, "Hurry up and tell me. I'm waiting to deliver the bowl."
Ah Jun's face gradually turned red, and then he said, "Well, when I was arranging the bookcase yesterday, I bought a book for myself, but then I forgot to take it and put it on the bookcase. I just looked at the bookcase and found that the book was gone, so I wanted to ask Mr. Lin if you saw it?"
"Book?" Aliang's face was complicated. "Just for a book? It can't be..." Aliang showed an expression that all men understand.
"Of course not!"
Seeing that Ah Jun's neck was almost burning red, Lin Jinyan took out the book he had just read from the drawer and asked, "Are you talking about this book?"
Ah Jun watched Lin Jinyan take it out from the drawer, and suddenly felt something was wrong. "Yes, it's this one, but why is it in the drawer? Mr. Lin, have you read it before?"
Lin Jianyan blinked, "I just read a little bit, it's quite good. I was just wondering who bought the book? It's so tasteful."
Ah Jun was struck by lightning, and asked with trembling lips: "How much have you seen?"
Lin Jianyan: "I just saw that the richest man named Qin was sent to prison. You know what, the author's writing style is quite good, and his writing touches people's hearts."
Ajun's hanging heart finally died. If this were an animated world, you might see the color fade away from his body.
Aliang was curious about what could have made Ajun so nervous, so he stretched his neck to take a look. He saw that the cover of the book was colorful and a handsome man was hugging a beautiful woman.
The title of the book is "A Domineering Young Man Falls in Love with an Innocent Female Singer"
"Hiss!" A Liang looked at A Jun with a strange look in his eyes, with a hint of smile and pity, "Brother, your taste is quite uh... quite girly."
"But don't worry, I won't laugh at you. You don't have to hide it anymore. You can read it boldly. If you get tired of it, my girlfriend has a lot of books like this. I'll ask her for a few and give them to you."
Ah Jun looked at him trying to hold back his laughter, gritted his teeth and glared at him, "You know shit! Give me your bowl!"
Ah Liang's face was almost red from trying to hold back his laughter. He patted his shoulder and went out. As soon as the door closed, the people inside could hear Ah Liang's hearty laughter outside.
Lin Jianyan also broke down and laughed, "Don't be nervous, it's just reading a book, it's nothing, I like reading it myself."
Ah Jun shook his head awkwardly, "Mr. Lin, don't you think the characters in it are..."
"Are you saying that the richest man surnamed Qin looks like Qin Wu?" Seeing his nervous look, Lin Jianyan smiled even more happily, "What's the big deal? Qin Wu's bad temper has offended so many people outside, so it's normal for people to write about him in such a bad way."
"Your book is pretty good. I've read another one in which Qin Wu is a bandit who robs and robs people and does all kinds of evil things. In the end, he is killed by thousands of knives. If you like to read it, I'll bring it to you tomorrow."
Ah Jun was so scared that he shook his head quickly, "No, no, you can watch it yourself. Since everything is fine, I will stay outside."
Ah Jun ran very fast. Lin Jianyan looked at the book in his hand and shouted from behind: "Don't you want your book anymore?"
"No, no, I'll give it to you!"
Lin Jianyan looked at the book in his hand, chuckled, and put it away.
In the afternoon, Lin Jianyan went upstairs to take a look and helped them change some details of the clothes. Soon it was time to get off work.
Without Lin Jinyan's reminder, everyone spontaneously packed up their things and prepared to leave. Although they liked this job and liked working here, who doesn't like to get off work? If you are not positive after get off work, you have a problem with your thinking.
While they were packing, Lin Jianyan left first. When she returned to the gate of the villa, she ran into Qin Wu by chance, as he was also off work.
The two got out of the car, smiled at each other, and walked in side by side.
As soon as they entered the house, a servant immediately helped them take off their coats and handed them slippers. The meal was almost ready, so the two washed up and sat at the table to eat.
They didn't have the rule of not talking while eating or sleeping, so during the meal, Lin Jianyan told Qin Wu about what happened at noon. "I read another book today."
Qin Wu picked up some food for him and said calmly, "What book? Was I chopped to pieces or tortured in it?"
Lin Jianyan laughed out loud: "No, this time it's better, you were arrested and shot in prison. I'll show it to you later."
Qin Wu snorted twice: "I knew that I usually don't have a good ending in books."
