"It's really enviable." Li Lin sighed, thinking about his own work. Whether in the township or in the city, he sometimes felt a lot of pressure, fearing that he would not be able to complete the tasks assigned by his superiors in time.
The most difficult part is dealing with people. You have to come into contact with almost all kinds of people, and sometimes you feel tired and too lazy to deal with them.
He stopped and looked at the lake in front of him, which was shining white, and said softly, "When I was working in the city, whenever I felt troubled, I would go to this park and walk aimlessly along the lake. When I got tired, I would find a stone bench to sit for a while, and the boredom of the day would dissipate."
Hearing this, Xu Wen was touched. She leaned against the fence by the lake. The night wind blew, and a few strands of hair covered her cheeks.
She rolled up her hair, looked at Li Lin with a smile, and asked him, "Are you happy to be with me today?"
Li Lin followed her example and turned around to lean against the marble fence, saying with his head turned sideways, "It's been a long time since someone walked with me, and it's been a long time since someone talked to me about things other than work. I'm very happy. I suddenly feel that life can be so relaxed and comfortable."
...
It was already ten o'clock in the evening when we returned to Dongsheng.
Li Lin sent Xu Wen upstairs, watched her go into the house, and told her, "Go to bed early."
Seeing that Li Lin had no intention of entering the house, Xu Wen asked him a little disappointedly, "Won't you come in and sit for a while?"
"It's too late. I'll come to see you tomorrow at noon." Li Lin said without hesitation.
It is undeniable that Li Lin was a little moved and had fantasized about something happening between him and Xu Wen.
But in the end he restrained himself. He thought, how can I use a one-night stand to explain my love for such a beautiful thing?
This is the difference between humans and animals. Animals have crazy and uncontrollable desires, while humans are rational and can make choices.
Xu Wen smiled, very sweetly and touchingly.
She also restrained herself and did not try to keep Li Lin. She waved at him and said gently, "Well... you've worked hard today. Be careful when you go back. Remember to send me a message to let me know you're safe."
After washing up and lying on the bed, she recalled every detail of her time with Li Lin tonight, and couldn't help biting her fingers and smiling foolishly.
She opened her phone and found a long string of messages from Chu Yao. "Girl, where have you been? You didn't answer my calls or messages. Tell me the truth, did you go out to find a man?"
She lay on the bed and thought for a while, and finally replied, "Yaoyao, I'm on a business trip, now in Pingyang... I'll contact you when I get back."
Pingyang? Chu Yao, who was in the provincial capital, was shocked when she saw this familiar place name.
She suddenly remembered, isn’t Li Lin’s hometown in Pingyang?
She suddenly had a bad feeling and wondered, could it be that Xu Wen and Li Lin...
She was stunned for a moment, not daring to think any further, and shook her head desperately, trying to clear this absurd and ridiculous guess from her mind.
But the more she forced herself not to think about it, the more the images of Xu Wen and Li Lin together filled her head like a tide.
