Chapter 57 Habit
The night wind blows, and the ordinary day is about to end.
After washing up, Lin You leaned against the head of the bed, drank half a cup of milk and prepared to go to bed.
Turn off the main light, leaving only a small night light emitting some warm light.
Lin You closed his eyes, but couldn't fall asleep for a long time. The image of Shi Jingyuan sitting on the sofa playing games kept appearing in his mind.
Since she couldn't sleep, she simply got up and browsed the web.
For some unknown reason, she entered a question into the search engine.
"I can't sleep. I keep thinking about an insignificant person. How can I solve this problem? I'm waiting online."
I don’t know if netizens are too idle, but within two minutes of her question being posted, responses started coming in.
[A jelly bean: If you miss someone so much that you can't sleep, then this person is no longer insignificant.]
[There is grass by the lake: It's a different era now. It's no longer the custom to play secret crushes. Just go for whoever you want. The timid will die of starvation, and the bold will die of gluttony.]
Textbook: The best way to resolve obsession is to get the person. Even if you can't get her heart, you must get her body.
[A sugar bean: Please be careful with your words, my friend. The internet is not a lawless place. Any behavior against a woman's will is a criminal offense.]
[Textbook: Don't be so serious, buddy. We're just discussing theoretically how to win a woman over. Sleeping with her is another option, rather than pursuing her physically...]
The content of the answers became increasingly distorted, and soon it had developed to the point where they began to explore the issue of how different postures brought different experiences.
Lin You quickly closed the webpage.
This generation of netizens is becoming more and more unreliable.

The result of a sleepless night is two big dark circles under the eyes when you wake up the next day.
Since he got the design sketches of the Osgame Horticultural Exhibition, even though he was extremely sleepy, Lin You still arranged a fulfilling day for himself.
When it comes to things you like, it's common to study them day and night without even eating or sleeping.
She dove into the design sketch, and when she was dizzy and hungry, she realized it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.
She got up and went to eat. She took a piece of cold bread from the refrigerator and heated it up as her lunch.
Just as I took a bite, there was a knock on the door.
She walked over to open the door and saw Shi Jingyuan standing at the door holding a lunch box.
He glanced at the bread in her hand and raised his eyebrows, "Yesterday's?"
Lin You almost choked to death on a mouthful of bread.
Even she herself couldn't understand why she felt guilty when facing his questioning.
Shi Jingyuan took out his slippers from the shoe cabinet with ease, changed into them, and then carried the lunch box into the house.
After taking two steps, he turned back and snatched the leftover bread from her hand.
Lin You watched him throw the bread into the trash can.
He turned around and asked, "What are you still doing standing at the door? Come and have dinner."
The food box has five layers in total, and it is obviously a super deluxe version. It is many times more advanced than the home-cooked meals made by Lin You.
He opened it layer by layer and put the chopsticks into her hand again.
"I'm late because I was busy with work this morning. Come eat quickly."
Although Lin You looked confused, her body was more honest than her mouth when faced with delicious food, and her hand holding the chopsticks started to pick up the food uncontrollably.
After eating a few bites and relieving her hunger a little, she asked:
"How do you know I haven't had lunch yet?"
He gave her a meaningful look.
"Guess."
Then his guess was pretty accurate.
Shi Jingyuan loosened his tie, picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
It was very quiet during the meal, only Lin You would secretly look up at him from time to time.
After dinner, she stopped Shi Jingyuan who was about to clean up the dishes.
"Go sit on the sofa for a while, I'll clean up."
Shi Jingyuan was not polite and did not rush to do things that he was not good at.
But after Lin You finished cleaning up and walked out of the kitchen, he saw that the person half-leaning on the sofa was already asleep.
The sunlight shone obliquely through the window onto his face, softening his features a little, but also revealing the fatigue on his face.
Workers like her who are just trying to take advantage of the situation can have weekends off, but the high-ranking Mr. Shi is always working overtime.
It turns out that everyone's success is hard-won.
Lin You went to the bedroom, got a blanket, and gently covered him with it.
*
At five o'clock in the afternoon, a phone call broke the silence in the house.
The blanket on Shi Jingyuan slipped off, and he picked up the phone beside him and answered it.
The call was from He Xuan, reminding him that he had a social engagement in the evening.
Shi Jingyuan looked at the time and asked the driver to pick him up at the gate of Shangcheng Apartment.
Lin You was preparing food in the kitchen. When she came out, she saw him taking his coat and leaving.
Shi Jingyuan bent down, picked up Hu Baoer, and caressed her for a few times before saying to her, "I have an appointment tonight and must go. I'll be leaving first."
Lin You's eyes widened and he responded, "Oh."
He put Hu Baoer down, changed into slippers and went to open the door.
Lin You stared at his back and said, "Um...drink less."
Shi Jingyuan paused, and when he turned around, a strange light flashed in his eyes.
He smiled slightly, "I see."
The door opened and closed again.
Lin You stood there, and it took him a long time to realize what he had just done.
She suddenly patted her face, which had turned red without her knowing when.
What is she doing?
How did this old couple get along with each other?
Habit is indeed a terrible thing.
*
Lin You spent a day studying the design sketches and gained a lot, feeling very satisfied.
At ten o'clock in the evening, she put away the drawings, yawned and walked to the window.
The cool breeze made her mind much clearer.
Not long after, the phone on the desk rang and she walked over to take a look.
The caller ID shows Shi Jingyuan.
This late evening...
She hesitated for a moment and picked up the phone.
The person speaking on the other end of the phone was not Shi Jingyuan but He Xuan.
"Sister Lin..." He Xuan's voice sounded obviously abnormal.
Lin You's expression turned serious. "What happened?"
He Xuan hesitated for a long time before speaking, "Um... Sister Lin, can you come over?"
Lin You was silent for a moment, "What happened?"
He Xuan sighed and said earnestly:
"It's hard to explain in a few words. Just because Mr. Shi stayed up all night working on his job so he could be with you today, please come and help me."
Lin You tightened his grip on the phone, his expression changed, and he spoke.
"Where are you?"
He Xuan immediately gave an address.
After hanging up the phone, Lin You put on her coat, picked up her bag and went out.
*
The place He Xuan was talking about was a very famous bar in Jingang City.
It is said that this place is known as the gold-spending den of Beijing and Hong Kong. The cost of spending here once is equivalent to the cost of several years of work for an ordinary white-collar worker.
The entrance of the bar was filled with all kinds of luxury cars, and handsome men and beautiful women dressed in trendy and fashionable clothes were gathered in groups of three or five to talk.
The taxi stopped at the intersection.
After getting off the car, Lin You walked towards the bar.
Dressed in an ordinary sweatshirt and jeans, she quickly attracted the attention of the people around her.
The bar staff walked up to her quickly and said coldly, "The bar has a rule that women can only enter if they wear skirts."
