Chapter 52 Elevator Door
At night, Lin Yun walked out of the company building with a depressed look, looked at the busy streets, turned around, and set out on the journey home as usual.
He walked through the sparsely populated residential streets, wandered in the commercial district near the light rail tram station, avoided the hands extended by hot girls in the crowd, and stopped in front of a shopping mall.
The vast, brightly lit buildings made him feel as if he were in another world.
The conversation with Hong Siyu in the morning seemed to still echo in his ears, and he had made a preliminary decision on whether to resign and return to the path of being a magical girl:
——After finishing the mid-month summary meeting and handling a few tasks at hand, he can apply for resignation.
Before leaving, he went to the general manager's office, mentioned his resignation, and negotiated with whom to hand over his tasks before leaving the company.
After getting off work, the reason why he didn't go to the station immediately but took a detour to the commercial district was actually because some days were about to come.
For example, his and Anya’s wedding anniversary.
This year marks the 15th anniversary of his marriage to Anya. To use a more romantic term, it should be called the "Crystal Wedding", which is a day worth celebrating for couples in this period.
It was for this reason that he suddenly remembered this day and wondered whether he should buy Anya a gift that she would like when that day came.
He remembered that Anya liked jewelry, and she treasured every piece of jewelry he bought for her. And since it was a "crystal wedding", it would be very appropriate to give her a piece of crystal jewelry.
I can wait until our wedding anniversary to buy a gift, wrap it carefully, and put it in Anya's dressing box.
——Then, on the anniversary of her death, I personally brought it to her grave and gave it to her.
Because Anya's death anniversary was just a week after their wedding anniversary.
This actually sounds very sad and ironic. But for Lin Yun, apart from revenge, this is the best way for him to pay tribute to Anya.
As for revenge, whenever he picked up this idea, Lin Xiaolu's face would appear in his mind. This did not make him give up this idea, but it made him understand that at least now was not the right time.
Taking a deep breath and calming himself down, Lin Yun clenched the briefcase in his hand and stepped forward.
After entering the shopping mall, he silently wandered around the various storefronts. Facing the enthusiastic introductions and sales pitches of many salesmen, he took them all in his heart, kept them for reference, and then nodded politely to express his gratitude.
It took him more than an hour to take a quick look around the jewelry stores on the first floor of the shopping mall. He then walked out of the mall with a little disappointment.
It’s not that he was dissatisfied, but he always felt that something was missing.
It was not until he walked from the commercial district to the station again that he suddenly felt a little hungry, and then realized that he had forgotten to eat dinner.
Standing on the platform of the light rail tram, Lin Yun looked at the tram coming from a distance. The lights in front of the tram became brighter and brighter, shining through the densely packed crowd and illuminating the way home after a hard day's work.
"Let's go back and heat up the leftovers." He muttered to himself, then followed the crowd into the car and found a moment of peace of mind on the hanging ring in the car.
On the way home, he was thinking about what to say in the evening study session. The knowledge in the junior high school textbooks was reviewed over and over in his mind, and for a moment it reminded him of his life in junior high school.
Both of them are continuing their daily lives while being magical girls; both of them are thinking about the knowledge in the textbooks on the way home. How similar, yet how different.
As he was thinking this, he returned to the high-end apartment building where he lived.
Walking into the corridor, he wanted to go directly to the elevator, but he happened to meet a woman walking from that direction.
It's Hongsi and.
"Ah, finally off work?"
When she saw Lin Yun, she greeted him quite naturally.
"I'm off work, and I don't think I'll have to go to work in a few days."
He replied rather bluntly: "Anyway, thank you for today."
"What's there to thank for? It's a real treat for an old senior like me whose phantom limb's heart flower is almost dying to see the lovely juniors."
Hong Si waved his hand loudly: "As for you, please don't mind me saying some unnecessary words next."
"Extra words?" Lin Yun raised his eyes slightly, obviously grasping the key point of her words.
"It's nothing, don't worry about it, don't worry about it." Hong Siyu laughed casually, "Anyway, I've stayed here long enough today, so I'll go back now."
"So what did you say?"
"I told you not to take it to heart. It's not something you deliberately concealed anyway." Hong Siyu winked at him, "You, just get along well with the children from now on."
After saying this, she waved goodbye to Lin Yun and walked towards the parking space not far away.
Looking at her back, Lin Yun thought for a moment, then shook his head and walked towards the elevator again.
However, when he walked into the elevator door, he just saw an elevator door closing, and then it went all the way up to the floor where his home was.
This made his heart skip a beat for no reason.
The scene at the door of the apartment a moment ago flashed through his mind. In just a moment, he grasped where this uneasiness came from: "...Just now, there should be no one walking in from outside."
…
…
After dinner, after chatting in the living room for a while, Hong Siyu said goodbye to the two girls and left Lin Xiaolu's home through the entrance.
Walking back to the living room and slumping back on the sofa, Lin Xiaolu and Xia Liang were speechless for a moment, entering a state of fatigue and listlessness.
"If I had known, I would have just eaten some leftovers at noon." Lin Xiaolu muttered softly as she lay on the sofa.
"Even if she said she wanted to cook for herself, I should have stopped her." Xia Liang also sighed, "I just didn't expect it to be that bad."
Even though it was after dinner, the two of them were still thinking about that "fresh in my memory" lunch.
Hong Siyu said she wanted to show off her culinary skills, and if that meant torturing the diners, then she has succeeded.
From the perspective of knife skills and cooking time, there was nothing wrong with the food she cooked, but when it came to seasoning, it was a disaster. It wasn't just a matter of being unpalatable, but only someone with a dysfunctional sense of taste could cook such a messed-up meal.
It was like the ratio of all the flavors in the food was swapped, the salty parts became sour, and the sweet parts became bitter. The end result was that it was completely inedible.
In the end, Hongsi and one other person at the table were the only ones who could finish their meals normally, and they kept asking the two girls "Why don't you eat?" from time to time.
So, when it was time for dinner, at the joint request of Xia Liang and Lin Xiaolu, they took out the leftovers from the refrigerator and had a meal.
After finishing a day's practice in such a noisy atmosphere, Lin Xiaolu was just about to take a nap on the sofa to prepare for the study session in the evening, but suddenly she felt as if something was stuck under her thigh.
She moved her body to the side and suddenly realized that it was Hong Siyu's certification card.
I don’t know when, but Hong Siyu casually threw this certification plate here and never thought of taking it back.
Picking up the small plaque, Lin Xiaolu couldn't help but look at Xia Liang, then asked in confusion: "What should I do?"
"Do you have her contact information?" Xia Liang was also quite surprised after seeing what she was holding.
"No." Lin Xiaolu couldn't help but grab the hair on the side of her head.
"Then let's return Delphinium to her when the time comes...what's wrong with you?" Xia Liang was thinking about a solution, but Lin Xiaolu's actions startled her.
Because the other party had already stood up from the sofa and put the badge into his pocket: "She should have just come downstairs now. I still have time to chase her."
"Do we really have to be so anxious?" Xia Liang turned around and lay on the back of the sofa, looking at Lin Xiaolu walking towards the entrance, and said helplessly, "Anyway, Cuiqiao will come over tonight, so we can give it back to her tomorrow, right?"
"It's not right for a guest to lose something when he comes to visit for the first time."
When they reached the door, Lin Xiaolu waved to her in a rather cool manner: "It's okay, I'll be back soon."
She changed into sandals, walked out of her house, pressed the elevator button, and took the elevator to the first floor.
After she walked out of the elevator, she heard Hong Siyu's voice not far away. She immediately took out the badge from her pocket and raised it, wanting to walk out of the elevator directly and quickly return the other party's things.
However, her steps stopped the moment she stepped out of the elevator.
Because she saw Hong Si standing with someone she would never have thought of, and they seemed to be talking to each other in a very familiar manner.
That person was not a stranger either, it was her father, Lin Yun.
In the evening, about 2k words of setting content and a new foreshadowing were added to Chapter 16 to complete the logical chain of the previous part of the plot. It has no impact on the subsequent plot, so you can go back and read it as appropriate.
