Lin Jin is a relatively introverted person, which can be seen since high school. He hides in a corner every day and does not communicate with classmates, let alone participate in any club activities.
However, his academic performance was always among the best. Although his family's financial situation had improved over the years, his father still did not give him much help, so he could only rely on his own efforts to make up for the debt and guilt he felt for his family.
Lin's father is a typical honest migrant worker, who is hardworking and calm; Lin's mother is a very traditional woman. In order to make a living, she puts all her energy into her son; but for her son Lin Jin, she always feels that she has neglected him a little, so she puts a lot of thought into her education method.
Because of this, Lin Jin has always been honest, well-behaved, sensible, obedient and considerate.
But now, Lin Jin felt like there was a stone blocking his heart, making it hard to breathe.
He was afraid that he would not do well in the college entrance examination and make his family worry; he wanted to work hard to make money, buy a house, and get married and have children in the future...
He wanted to accomplish all of this.
That's why I feel a lot of pressure.
This was also the main reason why he later had an online girlfriend, because he could talk to her, and he wanted to find someone who could understand and support him.
At the beginning, he did agree to the girl's pursuit on impulse, but now thinking about it, he found that he could not control himself at all. Maybe adolescent boys at that time were really easily swayed by emotions?
But why did she disappear after graduating from high school?
We had clearly agreed to meet when he was admitted to university.
Over the past few years, he tried to call her again and again, but her phone was always turned off, and even his penguin friends couldn't get in touch with her.
Lin Jin felt more and more anxious, but fortunately the college entrance examination was over, so it did not affect his studies.
But even so, he still couldn't forget that girl.
That feeling is as if the most precious thing in life has suddenly left you, and you can't let it go.
During the summer vacation, he would often recall the sweet moments they had together in the dead of night. Every day, they would either encourage each other to study for the college entrance examination or supervise each other to go to bed early.
Unfortunately, it is gone forever.
It was not until I reported to university that I saw my roommate Lin Xinyu. They had the same last name as me, but their personalities were completely different.
Seeing that Lin Xinyu's speech and behavior were not like those of ordinary students, he decided to learn from him, but he didn't dare to speak.
However, the other party took the initiative to find him, have dinner together, and slowly get in touch.
By chance, the two became friends.
As they got along, Lin Jin discovered that the other person was suitable to be a friend and would teach him everything. It was at that time that he met Luo Xixi.
Luo Xixi has been pampered since she was a child and is like a princess at home.
When she arrived at university, she found that there was such a beautiful girl in her dormitory. Not only was she beautiful, but she was also very broad-minded, which made her admire her. But then she found out that she already had a boyfriend.
When they went out together, she saw Lin Jin.
The first impression was that she was a timid person. She stood aside by herself and didn't dare to speak. In order not to make others feel awkward, and because she was already eating dog food behind Lin Xinyu and Bai Shihan, she chatted with him casually.
The two of them slowly became good friends.
Lin Jin also knew that he had an ordinary appearance and was relatively introverted.
He tried very hard to fit in and get along with them, but unfortunately his personality was destined to be unable to change.
Therefore, he would rather stay quietly in the corner, not be noticed by anyone, not cause trouble, and not cause trouble to others.
"Lin Jin, why are you hiding alone again? Don't they want to set up a studio? Let's go and help. I heard that we can avoid military training." Luo Xixi came over and shook his arm.
"I..." He hesitated.
Luo Xixi held him back: "Oh! Anyway, today is the weekend and everyone has no classes. Besides, if I go alone, I'll just eat dog food. If we go together, we'll have company."
Most importantly, she didn't hate being with him.
Other boys approached her with a purpose, but Lin Jin was different. He had no purpose at all and even didn't want to pay attention to her. Just for this reason, Luo Xixi insisted on being friends with him.
Lin Jin hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay then."
The two of them slowly began to have interactions. Although there was no ambiguity or intimate actions, their hearts were getting closer and closer.
But Lin Jin didn't dare to fall in love. He was afraid that it would be like his previous online romance, where he finally fell in love, but the other person had already disappeared.
He kept telling himself that he would never have love again in this life and he just hoped to live out his life alone.
But reality is always cruel. One day, Luo Xixi suddenly asked him if he would agree if she liked him?
Lin Jin did not answer and devoted himself to his work. He was a study freak, but now he changed his identity and became a workaholic. He did not dare to touch his emotions and closed himself in a small world every day.
But even so, Luo Xixi still perseveres in pursuing him.
She constantly encouraged him to face his heart bravely and not escape.
Lin Jin didn't know what to do. He was afraid of rejection, but he was also afraid of being rejected. The contradiction made him extremely painful.
Finally, after several people joined forces to investigate, they understood why he didn't want to have a relationship. It turned out that he was afraid of getting hurt.
Luo Xixi wanted to try it one last time, so she asked Lin Jin out alone.
When no one was around, she spoke directly.
"Is it because of my problem that you don't like me?"
Lin Jin, who had never seen such a scene before, suddenly panicked and waved his hands hastily to explain.
"No, no, that's not what I meant."
"That means, you actually like me too?" Luo Xixi smiled sweetly.
Lin Jin was stunned, staring blankly at the girl in front of him.
She is so beautiful that one can't take their eyes off her, and also makes people...
Like her.
Seeing him staring at her like an idiot, Luo Xixi blushed and coughed lightly to hide her embarrassment: "So do you like me or not?"
Lin Jin looked up suddenly and saw the shyness on her face. He suddenly felt his throat dry.
Like...Does he like her?
Seeing this, Luo Xixi thought she had guessed right, so she quickly struck while the iron was hot and continued to confess her feelings.
"Lin Jin, if you like me, let's go out together."
Lin Jin's head was confused and his ears were buzzing.
He likes Luo Xixi?
Yes, the girl who is with him every day and pays attention to him all the time, is pretty, gentle, kind and beautiful, how could he not like her.
only……
Lin Jin hesitated for a long time, then shook his head: "No, I..."
"Why not? Is it because you still don't like me?" Luo Xixi asked anxiously.
Lin Jin quickly shook his head: "No..."
"Why is that?"
"I can't give you a better life." Lin Jin lowered his eyes and spoke in a low voice.
"It's okay, we can fight together." Luo Xixi held his hand.
Lin Jin's eyes instantly became moist.
He looked at her in disbelief, finding it hard to believe that she would actually put herself in such a difficult position. He was just a coward, and he had finally trusted someone, but that person disappeared. Now that someone he liked had appeared, his first reaction was definitely to retreat and not dare to step forward.
"Don't worry, I won't disappear." Luo Xixi held his face with a serious look in her eyes.
Lin Jin nodded.
"I like you, too."
With her care and sufficient sense of security, Lin Jin no longer concealed his feelings and boldly expressed them.
"So when did you start liking me?"
At this time, Lin Jin was still quite shy. Luo Xixi always took the initiative and he would blush at her teasing. But he still answered honestly: "Since... since I saw you."
"So you've always thought I was pretty, right?"
"You are beautiful." Lin Jin told the truth.
If someone else said it, she might not be so happy, but when she heard Lin Jin praising her for the first time, she was almost going crazy with joy!
She hugged Lin Jin and said with a smile: "So you have had a crush on me for a long time! No wonder you didn't reject me. I thought you would reject me today. From childhood to adulthood, I have never liked anyone else."
"I liked one before." Lin Jin answered truthfully.
"I know, that online romance where you've never met someone, who knows if the person on the other end of the phone is a girl, maybe even a boy." Luo Xixi said angrily. If it weren't for this incident, she wouldn't have to wait so long.
When Luo Xixi thought that Lin Jin was hesitant about whether to have a relationship with her because of this, she became furious.
Lin Jin explained softly: "I only like you."
"Hmph~~" Luo Xixi turned her head away proudly, "You're becoming more and more sweet now."
"I didn't lie to you. I like you, and only you."
"Yeah." Luo Xixi responded obediently, and then took the initiative to kiss him.
The sudden action caught Lin Jin off guard and made him shy for a moment. He didn't expect Luo Xixi to be so bold.
Luo Xixi is a very timid person. Although she looks calm as a normal person at the moment, she is actually very nervous and she is afraid of being rejected.
Therefore, the kiss just now was her greatest courage.
After the kiss, the two stared at each other for a moment.
Luo Xixi's eyes were moist and clear, like black pearls, sparkling with charming luster. Lin Jin couldn't help swallowing and lowered his head, but he didn't have the courage.
Then Luo Xixi took the initiative to hand it over.
That's how the two of them came together.
Even so, Lin Jin's identity as a workaholic has not changed.
He almost never left the company while at school. Occasionally, when he worked overtime late, he would only contact Luo Xixi by text or phone.
Unless it is necessary for social events, there are at least four or five times a week when I cannot accompany Luo Xixi to eat or go shopping.
Although Luo Xixi was dissatisfied with this, she did not express any opposition.
She liked him and was willing to tolerate any of his shortcomings. She also knew very well why Lin Jin was like this, because he wanted to work hard to make money so that she and her parents at home could live a good life.
Luo Xixi believed it firmly and even felt that she was particularly happy.
She once thought that as long as two people were together, it didn’t matter whether they were rich or poor, as long as they could be together forever, she would be satisfied.
However, she now finds that for two people to be together, they need more support and understanding from each other, as well as more trust and love from both sides, in order to be able to stay together for a long time and grow old together.
During this period, Luo Xixi took care of Lin Jin while attending classes, and their relationship became better and better. In order to prevent him from lacking nutrition, she even made soup for him.
Obviously, he is a princess at home, but now he is willing to cook for the person he likes. This makes Lin Jin flattered and increases his motivation to work.
"Remember to take a rest, don't let work occupy your mind all day long."
"Okay, okay, I'll spend time with you when I'm done with my work."
Luo Xixi was actually very easy to coax. Every time Lin Jin took time out to accompany her shopping and buying things, she would forgive him.
After all, she just didn't want him to be too busy, and sometimes he had to stay up late to work in the company, which was bad for his health.
The two of them feel better and better together.
Luo Xixi is so beautiful, gentle and virtuous, and he is very ambitious. He focuses most of his time on work. He hardly deals with any other women except Luo Xixi. This is also a point that makes her very relaxed. After all, the two of them have already established a relationship.
The relationship between the two quickly heated up, and one day, Luo Xixi suddenly received a call from her mother.
"Xixi, when are you going to bring your boyfriend home?"
Luo Xixi was slightly stunned. Her mother had always been open-minded and never interfered with her marriage. Why did she ask to meet her boyfriend now?
But this also proves that her mother really agrees with them being together.
But it was Lin Jin's turn to be a little worried. After all, he didn't even know who Luo Xixi's parents were, and it would be a bit abrupt to visit them at this time.
Luo Xixi immediately put this question aside and told Lin Jin to take it easy and wait for a chance to meet again.
After hanging up the phone, she turned to look at Lin Jin and smiled: "How is it? When will you come home with me?"
"Auntie, is it easy to talk?"
This is the issue that Lin Jin is most worried about.
"Don't worry, as long as you are nice to me, my parents are easy to talk to."
Meeting the parents was a difficult thing for a timid person like Lin Jin. Fortunately, with the help of Lin Xinyu, he had become more courageous, but...
Work and meeting parents are two different concepts.
"My parents are not snobs, so you can rest assured. Besides, you are not bad now. With the recent development of the website, you will definitely be a big boss in the future. I believe in you."
Luo Xixi has always played a calming role. Every time Lin Jin was wavering, she would say something to make him feel at ease.
This is also the main reason why the relationship between the two can get better and better.
"After meeting the parents, are we going to get married?"
"If you want to marry me, just tell my parents directly. It depends on whether you have the courage."
Lin Jin clenched his fist and stopped what he was doing.
Make up your mind.
He wants to marry her home.
