Chapter 126 Gift
Tian Xin had been running around the factory for several days straight, with little rest. After a meeting, she was just thinking about catching up on some sleep when Lin Zhou called and said he had something to tell her.
"Can't we talk about it over the phone?" Lin Zhou's voice sounded anxious, and she immediately got up from the bed. Car horns honked on the other end of the phone, seemingly on the road.
The morning rush hour was extremely congested, so Lin Zhou had no choice but to pull over and said softly into the phone, "It's hard to explain in a few words. I'm on my way now and will come to see you later. We can talk when we meet."
"No, no, no, you'd better not come. I happen to be free today and want to go to the hospital to see Zhang Shuai. Or you can tell me a place and I'll come find you when I'm done!"
If his neighbors saw him, he would inevitably be suspected. Zhang Feng's matter had just ended, and she didn't want to give the "Village Intelligence Station" another topic!
Lin Zhou seemed very annoyed and said firmly on the phone: "I'm on my way and will wait for you at the village entrance!"
He was rarely so impatient, so it must be something important: "Okay! I'll be there as soon as I'm done packing!"
After hanging up the phone, she hurriedly washed, packed up and went out.
The first month of the year is almost over, the weather is gradually getting warmer, and the sun is warm on my body.
She wore a fitted white sweater over a light blue shirt, tucked into baggy black jeans and white flats. To hide the dark circles under her eyes from days of sleep deprivation, she applied light makeup and tied her slightly longer hair into a low ponytail with a silk scarf.
The whole person looks refreshed, decent and generous.
Before she reached the village entrance, a series of whistle sounds caught her attention.
She smiled and thought: He is really punctual!
Lin Zhou sat in the car, staring at the turning intersection. Until her slender figure appeared, his eyes never left that hint of light blue.
The whistle continued until she was ten meters away from the car. She stopped, put her hand on her forehead to block the light, and looked at him with a smile.
He hurriedly got out of the car and stepped forward to block the glare for her.
Lin Zhou was wearing a very loose blue sweatshirt, casual pants and sneakers, looking like a sunny boy.
The two looked at each other, and the gloom on his face disappeared: "How are you recently?"
"Not bad!" Tian Xin said with a smile: "What's the matter? Why are you so anxious?"
"Let's go first, we'll talk on the way!" He turned around and walked towards the car.
"Don't worry, this is for you!" Tian Xin handed over the small bag: "A belated birthday present!"
Gift?
Lin Zhou turned around quickly: "For... for me?"
"Yeah." She smiled and said, "I promised to give it to you!"
He looked at the bag handed to him, stunned for a moment, and did not reach out to take it.
"Why? You don't like it?"
"Oh... no no no... happy happy... I like it..."
"How do you know if you like it if you haven't even seen it?"
"I like... I like everything you gave me. I like everything..."
This silly boy is still so funny.
Handing the bag over with both hands, she looked up and smiled, "Don't just stand there, take it!"
"Oh!" He quickly took it, but didn't open it to look. He turned and walked to the passenger seat, opened the door and said, "Let's go!"
This time it was her turn to be stunned: Should I... sit there?
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"Let me sit in the back!" She walked straight to the back.
"Tian Xin!" Lin Zhou called out, "Sit here!"
His voice was soft, but his tone was firm and unyielding: "Come here!"
All right!
The two got in the car and drove quickly towards the county town.
"Want to listen to music?" Lin Zhou seemed to relax as the car started on the road.
"Don't you have something to say?" Tian Xin asked.
“No rush!”
Not in a hurry? Not in a hurry again? Weren't you in a hurry just now?
"oh."
"Let's listen to some songs!"
"All right!"
"There are CDs in there. Which ones do you like to listen to?" Lin Zhou said, pointing above the co-pilot seat.
He was so anxious on the phone this morning, but now he is not anxious anymore! Tian Xin was a little helpless: What's wrong with him today? He is so weird!
But she didn't ask too much, so she just looked at the CD in the folder.
Lin Zhou's preferences are quite special: most of them are albums of rock singers. She flipped through them casually and finally fixed her eyes on Faye Wong's album.
"Faye Wong's, is that okay?"
"sure!"
She took out a CD and handed it over, and soon the melody of "Red Bean" came out.
——I haven’t boiled the red beans for you——turned them into a lingering wound——and then shared them together——will we better understand——the freedom of loneliness——
She was moved by what she heard and sang along:
——Sometimes——sometimes——I will believe that everything has an end——Meeting and leaving——There is a time——Nothing will last forever——
During the second paragraph, she suddenly stopped.
Lin Zhou saw her looking out the window and continued singing:
——But I——sometimes——would rather choose to linger and not let go——until I have seen through all the scenery——maybe you will accompany me to watch the long flow of water——
His voice is gentle and delicate, unlike the low voices of ordinary men, but it matches Faye Wong's tunes perfectly.
When he sang the first line, Tian Xin turned her head, surprised at how good his pitch was. Whether it was the timbre, rhythm or melody, nothing was lacking.
"Not bad, Lin Zhou! You sing well." She commented, "If you didn't have a company, with this level of singing, I would definitely recommend you to participate in Super Boy!"
Lin Zhou was stunned: "Super Boy is...what?"
"It's a music talent show, don't you know?"
“Never heard of it!”
"No, that show is so popular..." She was talking excitedly when she suddenly stopped: Damn, I let it slip!
"What's wrong?"
"Oh, it's okay, I remembered it wrong!"
"Maybe I'm just ignorant!" Lin Zhou said with a smile, "Do you like Faye Wong's songs?"
"Ah! Yes."
"Anything else?"
“Gone!”
"Why do I remember that you often sang folk songs back then!"
That was so many years ago!
"It's just to cultivate a hobby, otherwise it would be so boring!" she said.
"That song at the New Year's Eve party that year was really nice." Lin Zhou said calmly, "The notes were too high!"
New Year’s Eve party?
Tian Xin lowered her head and pondered for a few seconds, then smiled and said, "Well, it's just okay! That song is Gao Wen's favorite."
"Really? I like it too!"
"Do you like folk songs too?"
"Um!"
"You have quite a lot of hobbies!" Tian Xin exclaimed, "You know everything! Why didn't I notice this before?"
Lin Zhou didn't say anything, just turned his head and looked at her.
She is very different today.
After tying the hair up with a silk scarf, a few strands of hair make the side face look more bright and charming.
He couldn't help but say: "That's great!"
"Yes!" Tian Xin said: "If he were born in ancient times, he would definitely be a modest gentleman!"
A modest gentleman?
Lin Zhou was stunned, then smiled: She is still so... humorous.
As the car drove to the county town, Lin Zhou did not mention what he wanted to say. Tian Xin opened her mouth several times, but he evaded her.
She couldn't help herself and asked, "What's going on? I heard you were very anxious this morning, why are you silent now?"
"Let's talk about it later. Aren't you going to the hospital? Let's talk about it after you see the doctor!"
Lin Zhou unbuckled his seat belt, took the gift bag given by Tian Xin from the front of the car and opened it.
When he took it just now, his heart was beating so fast that he didn't dare to open it. He had been thinking about it for a long time along the way, and now he couldn't wait to know what kind of gift she would give him.
But no matter what it was, as long as it was a gift from her, he liked it.
As soon as the bag was opened, he was stunned for a few seconds, and then the corners of his mouth curled up wildly: "This... was knitted by you?"
