Chapter 322 Second Proposal!
Lian Yi was silent for a long time.
"No, I'm not going home for the New Year!"
"I want to stay in America and live alone until the end of my life!"
Then she hung up the phone, and Lin Xiao stared at the phone in a daze.
When did the little drops of water start to rush like this?
However, her arrogant and resentful tone really made it seem as if we were back to a few years ago when the two of them were in love.
Then, Lin Xiao called Lian Yi again, but she didn't answer the call and didn't reply to his WeChat messages.
After a while, Shu Wan called directly.
"Xiaoxiao, are you and Little Waterdrop unhappy?"
Lin Xiao: “What’s wrong?”
Shu Wan: "She was supposed to go home for the New Year this year, and her flight ticket had already been booked, but she just told me that she is not going home for the New Year and her flight ticket has been cancelled. She refused to tell me the reason when asked. I said I would fly to the United States to accompany her, but she was unwilling to do so."
Well? !
How could this happen? If I hadn't called you, you would have decided to go home, but after I called you, you canceled your flight?
Lin Xiao: "Auntie, I know what's going on. I will handle it."
Shu Wan was also silent for a while: "That's good."
……………………
Then, Lin Xiao immediately turned on his computer and entered the Facebook website, the domestic Facebook, and found Lian Yi’s earliest account.
She has even abandoned this account.
Sure enough, this account just updated a status and posted a photo.
It was just the top of a house, snow-white! There was nothing else.
There is no specific shape of the house, no surrounding information, and no address.
Just the little spire and the blue sky.
More than one to be exact.
Eight in total!
Spring, summer, autumn and winter, two each.
Because the photo was taken very exquisitely, in addition to the little white roof and the sky, there are also the treetops next to it.
Moreover, each photo has a specific date.
From spring, summer, autumn and winter of 2008.
By the spring, summer, autumn and winter of 2009.
When Lin Xiao saw this set of photos, his heart was about to explode.
Because he saw that the first photo was taken the day after that text message.
That is, Wu Lingxi snatched Lin Xiao’s phone and sent a text message to Xiao Momo and Lian Yi: I want to marry you.
On the second day, Lian Yi took this photo of the little white pointed roof, but she was not in the photo.
If... I'm not mistaken.
This small spire is a church.
What is a church? A place where marriages are registered.
What was written in that text message was that if you agreed, you didn’t have to reply.
Then...Lian Yi went to that church?
Looking at the specific time of this photo, it was probably sunset.
In other words, after receiving the text message, she immediately flew to the church which was nowhere to be found, and waited until the sun set.
No one showed up, so I took a picture.
Then, she came once in each season? And waited for a day? And took a photo each time.
So, she has been there eight times.
But every time she didn't wait for anyone to come.
Took eight photos? But she said nothing.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Xiao looked for the small white spire church.
Actually, it doesn’t take much effort.
This is the Little White Chapel in Las Vegas, one of the most popular wedding destinations in the world.
Anyone can enter this church to register for marriage.
At this time, Lin Xiao's heart was filled with complicated emotions.
Slapped himself.
…………………………
The Chinese New Year is getting closer and closer.
Baby Lin Yiyi is so happy because it’s winter vacation and she can go to her grandparents’ house to have fun again.
About ten days before New Year's Eve, Xiao Momo had already started packing.
Li Fangfang helped to clean up.
"Don't make any trouble when you return to Daye Village this time. You don't need to go out on the first day of the first lunar month." Li Fangfang said, "You are already more than five months pregnant. You should take the car as little as possible."
A lot of big and small bags were piled into the car.
Then, Xiao Momo took baby Lin Yiyi away from Linshan and returned to Lin Xiao's hometown.
Five days before the Spring Festival, Lin Xiao finally finished his work and returned to his hometown in Daye Village.
The New Year atmosphere is already very strong here.
Lin Yao, Bai Xiaoping, Huang Yaner, Su Tao and others are already at home.
Because they are responsible for the blind dates on Jiayuan.com, and there are no blind date events near the Spring Festival.
These girls basically go back to Lin Xiao’s home to celebrate the New Year every year, and occasionally go back to their hometowns to celebrate the New Year.
This cannot be considered as flattery or fawning, because it is no longer necessary.
Many reasons are that once you go home, you return home in glory again and again, and it seems difficult to strike the right balance between the locals and your family members.
These girls, or to be more precise, these sisters, are overwhelmed.
So I just come to Lin Xiao’s house to celebrate the New Year every time.
This group of people have been living together day and night and have been with Lin Xiao for almost ten years. They are not relatives, but they are very much like family.
Some girls are already married, and they all got married within the Lightning Group.
But the other half are still unmarried and don’t seem to have any intention of getting married.
They have even made an agreement that if they cannot find a man they like within the next two years, they will all go for in vitro fertilization.
Also, they are somewhat hard to find.
They are all good-looking and financially independent, but they also have complicated pasts and their demands for love are very pure.
In short...it's just trouble.
"Let me check my belly..."
"This is a bit sharp. I'm afraid it's a son."
"Oh, well, well!"
Su Tao: "It's only been five months, how can you tell? It will take at least eight or nine months to see it."
"Boys are really good. At least they can handle more hardships. They are all like Yi Yi, our hearts melt at the first sight of them. We are reluctant to discipline them, and there is no frustration education."
"If we give birth to a boy, we can discipline him more harshly."
Bai Xiaoping hugged Lin Yiyi and said, "Oh my god, my little darling. No one wants to discipline you, but you may have to take over such a big business in the future. What should I do?"
Su Tao: "You can't give it to Li Shuang, she dotes on him more. Give it to Xia Xi, or to Wu Lingxi, these two witches are more powerful."
Lin Yiyi likes Chinese New Year the most and also likes going back to her grandfather's house the most.
Because here there are mountains and water, and most importantly, there is a large group of people who love her and cherish her.
Grandpa Lin Xiao is always happiest at this time when there are so many people at home.
But sometimes he felt sad. There were so many beautiful girls, why didn’t they get married? ………………
At night, baby Lin Yiyi was kidnapped again.
Lin Xiao can spend another undisturbed night with Paopao.
After more than five months of pregnancy, my belly has become a little bit obvious.
Bubble became plumper and more radiant. That special motherhood made her feel even more beautiful.
Lin Xiao's movements were very gentle.
But even so, she continued to shiver.
After that, she gently turned her face and kissed Lin Xiao on the mouth.
"Xiaoxiao, you should set off tomorrow." Paopao said suddenly.
Lin Xiao couldn't help but be stunned.
Although Bubble's words were incoherent, Lin Xiao understood them immediately.
Lin Xiao didn't say anything, but just hugged her even tighter.
"Also, you'd better not go to Uncle Lian's house first." Paopao said again without any context.
"Girls' minds are very complicated. Every girl hopes to get her parents' blessing, but every girl also hopes that the boy has the courage to elope with her."
"Sometimes, the fewer people in the emotional world, the better."
Well? !
Three people, it's suffocating? But Bubble doesn't want to express this now. Instead, he wants to express that I want you. It has nothing to do with anyone, not even your parents. It's just because of you.
Now, Lin Xiao and Paopao, at least emotionally, are truly in tune with each other.
True telepathy.
No matter what either party says, even without saying it out loud, the other party will understand it immediately.
Even the other person's emotions can be clearly sensed.
Before they knew it, eight years had passed since they started dating.
And Bubble seemed to have found the most comfortable state.
It’s not in Shanghai, but in Linshan and Daye Village, just a straight line.
He is still teaching at Linshan No. 1 Middle School and still writing scripts.
He doesn't have to enjoy glory and brilliance, but in the small world of Linshan and Daye Village, everyone takes good care of him.
Maybe it was hypocritical and flattering at the beginning, but over time, everyone's care for her became sincere.
Once she was a bubble that wanted to take off, a bubble that wanted to escape from the control of her parents.
But after flying around outside, I still miss my hometown.
Being protected since childhood, then being protected has become a kind of warm inertia.
Occasionally it is a breakaway and rebellion, but in the long run it is attachment.
The key point is that her man did not choose to settle in Shanghai in the end, but chose to settle in Linshan, in his hometown.
"Baby, don't you want to go take a shower?" Lin Xiao asked softly.
Bubble gently shrank into Lin Xiao's arms: "No, just wipe it and wash it tomorrow. I don't want to leave your arms."
………………………………………………
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and Leon is decorating the house with great enthusiasm.
In fact, Zhang Yin is very touched by the Spring Festival and misses it very much, but she deliberately keeps her distance from it.
In order to get deeper into his girlfriend's life, Leon fully understood the customs of the Chinese New Year and decorated the house meticulously every year, making it even more grand than the Chinese family next door.
He also learned Chinese cuisine and even made dumplings on New Year’s Eve.
But he probably didn't understand it well enough. Zhang Yin is from the south, a Hakka, and she doesn't eat dumplings on New Year's Eve.
At this moment, he was hanging lanterns on the eaves of the house.
The beautiful Chinese female neighbor next to him came forward enthusiastically to help him direct the actions.
Leon is very handsome and has the unique temperament of a writer, so he is very popular among women no matter where he is.
In particular, he is passionate about Chinese culture, so he is quite famous in the nearby Chinese social circles.
After joining Dream Vision, he went further in this regard and even began to learn calligraphy.
His work at Dreamscape is going very smoothly. The script for the first season of Stranger Things has been completed and the filming is more than halfway done. It will be broadcast on CBS soon.
Lyon contributed a lot of excellent details in it.
So, the company has renewed his contract.
Because the script for the first season of "Stranger Things" has been completed, the script for the second season has not yet begun.
So, he took on an extra small job, which was to write the script for Ergou Studio's new game "Fallout 4".
Although Ergou Studio’s current development focus is on The Last of Us, the script for Fallout 4 has already begun.
Leon is a fan of Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas, and he knows this worldview very well.
The company appreciated his talent for certain details so much that it asked him to help write some side quests for Fallout 4.
Therefore, his current monthly salary is over 20,000 US dollars, far exceeding Zhang Yin.
In the evening!
Zhang Yin drove home feeling tired.
As a result, he saw a beautiful female neighbor who was talking enthusiastically with Leon.
Women understand women best, and she understood the meaning of the look in her female neighbor's eyes too well.
And Leon half-entered the house with the door half-closed, which actually showed that he wanted to end the conversation, but he had to remain polite.
Zhang Yin stopped the car.
Leon hugged her warmly. The female neighbor glanced at Zhang Yin and then waved goodbye.
"Dear, next year we can decorate our own house." Leon said happily: "We can buy a house this year."
Zhang Yin looked at her handsome boyfriend, but she didn't feel very happy. Instead, she felt a sense of crisis.
Lyon’s income had been unstable before, and he even depended on her for support to some extent.
Therefore, her increasing control over Leon will also give her a great psychological advantage.
But now, Leon's career is becoming more and more successful, and his income is far more than hers.
In fact, many female neighbors in the community had flirted with Leon before, but she didn't think it was a big deal at the time because she always felt that she was supporting her boyfriend and he couldn't live without her.
And now...it all becomes so glaring.
After entering the room, Zhang Yin suddenly saw a new photo hanging on the wall of the living room. It was a photo of Leon and Lin Xiao.
Leon in the photo has eyes full of admiration, just like a fanboy.
This made Zhang Yin feel very uncomfortable.
To some extent, I came to the United States to boost my confidence, joined HP, and found you as my boyfriend.
As a result, you actually started to admire Lin Xiao.
This...isn't this telling me all the time that all my efforts are in vain?
Is this to completely negate my psychological path over the past few years? "Did you meet him? Did you talk to him?" Zhang Yin asked, her voice serious, even instinctively harsh.
In the past few years, her desire to control her boyfriend has become increasingly stronger, even to the point of treating him like a child and being harsh at every turn.
“Yeah…” Leon said excitedly, “That day at a big gathering of several of our groups, the leader suddenly showed up, and everyone rushed up to take a photo with him. I couldn’t take up too much of his time, so I just said hello.”
"I told him that my girlfriend is Chinese, and he asked me to bring her to the company party next time."
"My dear, you must go to the next party with me no matter what."
Zhang Yin couldn't help but blurt out some words in her heart.
Do you think you entered the Dream World solely because of your talent? Lin Xiao must have investigated your background and knew that you were my boyfriend, so he recruited you.
He asked you to take me to a party because he wanted to look down on me and enjoy the sense of superiority.
You fool, you don't even know that you are being taken advantage of, and you still think you rely on your own abilities.
There are so many talented people in this world, and if you really have the ability and talent, why haven't you achieved anything in the past few years? At this time, Leon still chattered about his admiration for the leader Ergou.
We talked about everything from the movie "Graveyard Book" to "Fallout 4" and "The Last of Us" which is currently in development.
"Honey, do you know how much I love my job?"
"Can you feel this charm? There is a person rushing forward madly, leaving a series of brilliant tracks in the sky, and we, a group of people, are following this track, releasing our own light and fully unleashing our own talents."
Zhang Yin said coldly: "You are engaging in personality cult. You will lose yourself if you do this. Isn't it ridiculous to still engage in personality cult in the free and democratic country of America?"
Leon: "No, no, no, dear! The truth of this world is that there are only a few geniuses, leading a group of talented people, and moving forward."
"America is great, but some people in China are really, really cool, like Mao."
Zhang Yin: "Your extreme thinking has been outdated in Europe for decades. Even if the French are enthusiastic about Mao and Ho Chi Minh, it is a trend of thought from decades ago."
Lyon: "I am not chasing trends, I am in line with the ideology. I am different from those fanatics decades ago. I am very sad that you see me like this."
The conversation between the two people ended again on bad terms.
………………………………
Another New Year's Eve is here!
In the Little White Church in Las Vegas, a beautiful girl, wearing a snow-white wedding dress, was still waiting quietly inside the church.
Couple after couple went into the church to register their marriage.
Some are serious, some are playful.
Some are serious, some are naughty.
She has witnessed countless weddings here.
The priest inside looked at Lian Yi's face with pity.
This beautiful oriental girl has come eight times.
Since last year, she has come every other season, waiting from morning till sunset.
But every time, the person she was waiting for never came.
Every time, she left sadly.
Actually, winter has come once. Spring has not come yet. Today should be the Chinese New Year's Eve.
Why is she here again?
This is the ninth time.
Does this break from convention mean that this will be the last time?
If she hasn't waited for the person she wants to wait for yet, will she never show up again?
A few young men saw how beautiful she was and wanted to come up and chat with her.
However, a few burly men in suits not far away stared at the newcomers with warning eyes, and even reached to their waists, making gestures to draw their guns.
Suddenly, the young man who wanted to strike up a conversation could only retreat in embarrassment.
Time passed by minute by minute.
The sun is setting.
Once again, I waited from morning to afternoon.
In a little while, the church will be closed.
Lian Yi looked at the sunset outside. When the sun completely disappeared, she would take a photo and then leave sadly.
Didn't wait until the last second.
It was around five in the evening.
A young man in a suit and bow tie walked in slowly under the slanting sunlight.

Note: I updated it earlier today. If you have monthly tickets, please continue to give them to me. Thank you so much! (End of this chapter)
