Chapter 111: It's Like Three Autumns
When leaving the noodle shop, Lin You was a little distracted.
The Shen Yi mentioned by the noodle shop owner was completely different from the Shen Yi she knew.
It was hard for her to imagine that the student who was gentle and caring in front of her was cold and gloomy in front of others. She couldn't imagine it even more...
Shen Yi had actually been waiting for her silently in an invisible corner for many years.
If this feeling is real, it is too heavy for her.
While she was thinking about this, she accidentally missed the last subway. She was about to call an online taxi when Shi Jingyuan called.
After not hearing his voice for a whole day, she unconsciously raised the corners of her mouth when he spoke.
Shi Jingyuan: "The cat food controller alarm at home has been ringing for a while. Are you not home yet?"
Ever since Hu Baoer moved into Shi Jingyuan's territory, he has been equipped with all kinds of high-tech equipment, such as the automatic cat food feeding and alarm device connected to his mobile phone. As long as the alarm sounds, he will receive a message.
"You seem to care a lot about Hu Baoer." Lin You joked with a smile.
Shi Jingyuan held a cup of coffee in one hand and a cell phone in the other, and answered as a matter of course:
"This is called loving the house and loving the dog."
Hearing this, Lin You's smile widened a little, and then he answered his previous question.
"I finished overtime and went to eat a bowl of noodles. I'm getting ready to go home now."
Shi Jingyuan raised his hand to check his watch, frowning slightly. "There's no subway now, right? Where are you? I'll send someone to pick you up."
"No need..." Lin You wanted to refuse, but was interrupted before she could finish her words.
Shi Jingyuan: "Just let the driver earn overtime pay."
Lin You twitched the corner of his mouth, then nodded in agreement, "By the way, when will you be back?"
Shi Jingyuan's tone was slightly heavy, "Things here haven't been dealt with yet. At the earliest, it will take about three days."
"Oh." Lin You said in a rough voice.
Shi Jingyuan smiled, "Miss me?"
Lin You rolled his eyes, but his words were honest, "No one warmed my bed, so my feet were a little cold when I slept."
Shi Jingyuan: “…”
It turns out that its function is to warm the bed.
"Okay, wait for me, I'll finish my work as soon as possible and come back to serve you."
After Shi Jingyuan joked, he told her to find a warm place to wait.
Lin You smiled as he walked into a convenience store not far away.
She hung up the phone, bought some oden, and sat down in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
A light snow fell from the sky. The snowflakes were not very obvious under the light, but they fell little by little on the green belt beside the road and soon became a whole.
When Lin You finished eating oden, the driver who came to pick her up arrived.
The driver was a man of few words. He simply said hello to Lin You along the way and didn't say anything else.
Lin You sat quietly in the back seat, looking out the window from time to time.
The snow fell heavier and heavier, and soon both sides of the road were covered with a layer of white frost.
While waiting for the traffic light, Lin You saw a giant billboard through the car window. On it was a male celebrity holding a luxury perfume advertising it.
Abai.
She had seen this person at the party that Chen Lingling took her to.
For some reason, Lin You always felt that he had overlooked something, but when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't figure it out.
After returning home and washing up, Lin You suddenly had an idea.
By the way, that time downstairs of Chen Lingling’s house, she met a man wearing a mask. The man’s figure was similar to Abai.
Chen Lingling, Abai?
These two people seem to have no intersection at all. Is she overthinking it?
Thinking of this, Lin You simply called Chen Lingling.
During this period, Chen Lingling's pregnancy was advanced, and she had greatly reduced the number of times she went out.
They are not in the same company now and have few opportunities to meet. They just call each other occasionally to check in on each other.
Chen Lingling was eating. She had a big appetite, so even though it was very late, if she was hungry, she would still eat without any psychological burden.
Lin You asked casually, "Is your boyfriend there?"
Chen Lingling smacked her lips and ate happily. "Of course, I'm in the second trimester now, and he's worried about me living alone. Basically, as long as I'm not on a business trip, he stays with me."
Hearing her say this, Lin You felt relieved.
When Chen Lingling talked about her boyfriend, she had a very satisfied expression on her face. "Sister, don't worry about me. I have someone to take care of me now, and I'm doing very well. But you, without me by your side, how would you live?"
Lin You: "...Can you speak more normally? Have you been watching too many tragic dramas lately?"
Chen Lingling laughed happily, "You guessed it right. I've been watching some heartbreaking dramas about family matters lately."
Lin You shook her head helplessly, "Don't put me in the role of the heroine in the drama. I also have a man, and I am living a good life."
"A man?" Chen Lingling scoffed at the words. "Don't tell me it's our President Shi again? Why can't I get over this? I know our President Shi is the national husband, but don't mistake fantasy for reality. It will only make me more worried about you."
Lin You held his forehead with his hand and was too lazy to talk nonsense with her.
"How about this, let's find an opportunity. You bring your boyfriend, and I'll bring Shi Jingyuan, so we can meet?"
Chen Lingling thought she was just talking nonsense and immediately accepted the invitation.
"Okay, whoever doesn't bring it is a dog!"
The bet between the two women was thus established.
*
Three days later, Shi Jingyuan returned from his business trip.
It was already two o'clock in the morning when he arrived.
The first one to hear the footsteps was Hu Baoer. The pure white kitten meowed and rushed towards the door.
Lin You was drowsy on the sofa wrapped in a thin blanket. When she heard Hu Baoer's movement, she knew he was back, and immediately lifted the blanket and walked towards the door.
As soon as Shi Jingyuan opened the door, a man and a cat pounced on him.
He moved swiftly, picking up the cat with one hand and holding the person with the other. After stabilizing both the person and the cat, he touched Hu Baoer's head and put it aside.
He picked up Lin You like a child and asked, "You're such a grown-up, why don't you even wear shoes?"
Lin You looked down and saw that his feet were indeed empty.
"I forgot." She answered carelessly.
Shi Jingyuan carried her back to the sofa, pressed her in his arms and kissed her a few more times.
"Now I understand a little bit what the old saying goes: 'A day without seeing you feels like three autumns.'"
Lin You traced the stubble on his chin with his fingers and said with a smile, "Such words are really unlike those of the noble Mr. Shi."
Shi Jingyuan also nodded in agreement, "It's indeed not like that. Because, even I didn't expect it."
If this happened a year ago, he would have thought that either he was crazy or the world was falling apart.
But now, he deeply realized that even if Shi Jingyuan had great abilities, he was just an ordinary person in front of this woman.
Flesh and blood, love and hate.
