Chapter 414 See you in the evening in Anshi
September.
Lian'an University.
It had just rained in Anshi last night. Now the sun was shining brightly in the sky, with no wind and no clouds. The moisture on the ground was like it had been through a steamer, and it was damp and hot, pressing down on people.
Lin Qin sat on the grass under a tree, fanning himself vigorously with a map of Lian'an University in his hand. "It's already been the beginning of autumn, why is it still so hot?"
No wonder netizens say that Ontario is rainy and humid, with long hot summers and a harsh climate. Isn't this just like a sauna?
Lin Qin put the cold drink on his forehead to cool down, but he still felt a tightness in his chest as if a huge rock was pressing on him. He took a breath and turned his head to look at Lin Shili, who was sitting silently beside him. "Brother, why don't you go back to the hotel first? I can handle the rest of the process myself."
Lin Shili's cheeks were flushed with heat, but his lips were pale. He was obviously unable to bear it and shook his head when he heard this.
Because of this action, the sweat on his forehead slid over his brow bone into his eyes, stinging his eyes. He subconsciously wanted to raise his hand to wipe it off, but when he raised his hand halfway, he thought of something and forced himself to hold it back.
He turned to Lin Qin and said, "Do you have any more paper?"
"It's gone. Wash it with water. Don't drink it." Lin Qin unscrewed the mineral water and handed it over. Seeing that Lin Shili washed it carefully, he felt a little uncomfortable.
At this time, it had only been fourteen months since Lin Shili woke up, and he had just been able to walk independently without a walker. His body was not in good condition and his complexion was poor.
Before going out today, Lin Shili put on makeup to improve her complexion, but she didn't expect the weather in Anshi to be so hot and humid that she was sweating profusely even when sitting still.
Lin Shili washed his eyes, took out a small mirror from his brother's backpack, confirmed that his makeup was not off, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Qin couldn't help but say again, "Brother, go back to the hotel first. I'll call you when my sister arrives."
Lin Shili didn't let go, "When will my sister arrive?"
Lin Qin took out his phone and took a look. The message he sent this morning hadn't been replied yet. "He should be on the plane."
The summit that Gu Nan attended lasted a week, and he left for home as soon as it ended last night. However, Lin Qin searched for flights and found that it would take 15 to 30 hours to get from the summit city to Anshi.
If the flight is delayed or cancelled due to weather conditions, it may take longer.
Lin Qin had thought about telling Gu Nan that Lin Shili was waiting for her in An City so that she could get more accurate flight information, but Lin Shili refused.
Whether out of fear or shyness, Lin Shili would rather wait in this self-torturing manner.
Lin Qin didn't understand. He rested his hands on his knees, head bowed, and the sweat on his forehead fell to the ground, leaving a dark watermark that evaporated in a few seconds.
I looked up and was about to persuade him again when the phone on my lap suddenly rang.
Lin Shili immediately turned his head and looked over.
Those sparkling eyes are more dazzling than the lake reflecting the sunlight.
Lin Qin swallowed the words in his throat and opened his phone. It was a message from Gu Nan.
Gu Nan: "I'm in transit and will arrive in Anshi around 6pm."
Gu Nan: "Let's have dinner together tonight."
After Lin Qin finished reading, two more messages popped up from the other side.
Gu Nan: "It seems to be very hot in Anshi today."
Gu Nan: "Can you still adapt? Be careful of heatstroke."
Lin Qin looked at the two messages and retreated tactically.
He had an inexplicable intuition that these two messages were not sent to him.
This wasn't the first time he had felt this way.
After sending him the dumplings during the Lantern Festival, Gu Nan's attitude towards him became a little different.
It was most obvious after the college entrance examination. He was patient and attentive, and the topic would occasionally turn to Lin Shili. If you look through the chat records, you can see a series of "your brother, your brother".
Lin Qin didn't know why they were so stubborn and refused to provide their contact information, but as a qualified mouthpiece, he immediately handed over his phone.
Lin Shili finished reading on his phone, then turned to ask Lin Qin, "Do you know of any good restaurants nearby?"
Without waiting for Lin Qin's response, there were two more "beep" sounds.
Gu Nan: "I've booked a table, see you tonight."
Gu Nan: "Location Sharing"
Lin Shili clicked on the navigation and saw that it was a private restaurant specializing in Wen Province cuisine. It was one kilometer away from Lian'an University and very convenient to go back and forth.
Lin Qin took a closer look and was a little surprised. "I can eat hometown food right after arriving in Ontario."
Lin Shili hummed a low "hmm" and replied: "Okay"
The other party seemed to realize that the person replying was not Lin Qin, and quickly sent another message:
"It's very hot today, please be careful of heatstroke. I've booked dinner at 7:30, so you can go out later."
The second time she reminded him to take precautions against heatstroke and specifically told him to go out later, Lin Qin became more and more certain that this message was not meant for her. No busy urban woman would be so considerate and attentive to send a message to a strong and healthy man.
Lin Qin subconsciously observed his brother's expression.
Lin Shili slightly turned aside to avoid his gaze. However, his red ears failed to stand in solidarity with his owner, rashly revealing his restless mood.
Lin Shili carried his brother on his back, lowered his head and typed on his mobile phone, typing and deleting, deleting and typing. Before he could send out the carefully considered words, another message came from the other side.
Gu Nan: "My phone is about to shut down."
Gu Nan: "See you tonight"
Lin Shili swiped the chat interface twice, feeling a little disappointed. He deleted the carefully chosen reply and replied: "OK"
After waiting for a while, no new message came.
Lin Shili returned the phone to his brother and said, "Let's finish the rest of the process quickly. I need to go back to the hotel before dinner."
His current image is so bad that he must go back and take a good bath.
But when he cleaned himself up and sat down in the private restaurant, Gu Nan, who had come for the appointment, did not show up.
Maybe this is how things are always. The more you expect something, the more likely it is to be disappointed.
7:30 in the evening.
The waiter brought all the dishes, but the message sent fell on deaf ears.
Lin Shili and Lin Qin sat at the dining table staring at each other.
The two of them returned home disappointed until the private restaurant closed.
Lin Shili kept his head down and scrolled through the chat interface all the way, fearing that he would miss any message from Gu Nan. So when he heard Lin Qin calling him "sister", he thought he was hallucinating.
He raised his head and quickly scanned the empty hotel lobby, finally seeing an adult woman negotiating with the staff at the front desk.
She was wearing a lake blue shirt with her sleeves rolled up to her elbows. She lowered her head and was pressing the buttons on the side of her mobile phone while talking to the staff.
There was a black suitcase at her feet, with a computer bag of the same color hanging on the suitcase, but she ignored it and just leaned slightly against the reception desk.
Perhaps because of her busy schedule, she didn't bother to tie her long hair behind her head. The scattered hair divided the light and shadow falling on her face, making her look a little tired and indifferent.
But when she looked up.
Those bright eyes were like starlight shining through the neon lights, so dazzling that they could penetrate all obstacles.
At just one glance, Lin Shili knew it was her.
