Chapter 151 Let’s Be Together
Coming out of the office, Tian Xin looked up at the sky. It was clear and cloudless, and her mood seemed to brighten up.
It was shift change, and there were few cars at the weighing room. She glanced over and saw that Li Meng was busy, so she quickly walked out of the yard and out the gate.
Lin Zhou was so anxious that he had already made several phone calls.
She walked to the front of the car and knocked on the passenger window. Lin Zhou lowered the window and said, "Get in."
"You go back, it's time for me to go home too!"
"Get in the car!" Lin Zhou only said two words and turned her head. She hesitated for a moment, then turned around and got in the car.
The car drove all the way to the county town. She was a little surprised. Wasn't he sending her back? It was already this late.
"Where are we going?" She fastened her seat belt and turned to ask him.
"I'll take you somewhere!" Lin Zhou's face was calm, and his tone was as gentle as usual. Perhaps because he was afraid that she would worry, he emphasized: "Don't worry, I'll take you back later!"
"Oh!" She turned her head, leaned back in the passenger seat and breathed a sigh of relief.
This day felt longer than a year. She had thought she could investigate the matter privately, tell Li Baiwan, and have him handle it quietly. As long as the factory's losses could be recovered, there wouldn't be a big problem.
Who knew so many things would happen and involve so many people.
The scene at the window brought her back to the day in her previous life when Liu Bo beat her to death. Zhang Feng was just as much of a bastard as Liu Bo, ruthless and unscrupulous. If she hadn't rushed in just in time, there was no telling what that bastard would have done.
The moment she entered and met Zhang Feng's red eyes, she was also scared, afraid that she would see the same ending as in her previous life.
But...Lin Zhou is here!
She turned her head and looked at Lin Zhou's profile - the clear jawline seemed to be outlined, the nose was straight, and the eyebrows were drooping.
She was a little dazed: "Why did you hit Zhang Feng just now?"
"I thought he hit you, and I didn't think much of it at the time."
"How are you?" Lin Zhou was also hit by a punch from Zhang Feng just now, and that punch was quite powerful.
"I'm fine!" Lin Zhou said lightly.
He really looked fine, and his face was intact, not red or swollen. Tian Xin took a look and said nothing. In fact, before she got in the car, Lin Zhou had already applied an ice pack to reduce the swelling, so she didn't notice anything unusual.
"In the future... don't be impulsive!" She hesitantly warned him, and suddenly felt guilty.
Lin Zhou has never been an impulsive person, but today he got into a fight with someone.
"I know!" Lin Zhou replied calmly with only three words.
His tone was calm, his face expressionless from beginning to end, his eyes fixed on the road ahead, and no one knew what he was thinking.
The two of them didn't talk all the way. Tian Xin's ears kept echoing with the words that Lin Zhou and Zhang Feng had said. After coming out of the weighing room, he had been very silent.
This man was a man of few words and kept his emotions to himself. She couldn't see his eyes clearly, nor could she guess what he was thinking.
The car drove through the county town and all the way to the new urban area.
The lights were just coming on, and the streets were bustling with traffic. It was rush hour after work. Lin Zhou parked his car in front of an office building.
"What are you doing here?" Tian Xin was a little confused.
Lin Zhou looked up and pointed at the office building: "Upstairs, my company!"
"Huh? Why are you going there?"
"Let me show you where I work!"
"oh!"
Although she didn't understand his intention, since she was already there, she couldn't be rude. Tian Xin looked up and followed Lin Zhou upstairs.
Lin Zhou's company is located on the top floor of an office building, offering a wide view. It's not large, and the furnishings are relatively simple. Several offices are located around it, and in the center are cubicles where the office workers work.
At this time, the employees had already left work, and only a few people were still working overtime at their desks. Seeing the two people come in, several employees greeted them warmly and continued to work.
Lin Zhou took Tian Xin directly into the office.
His office was quite large, with an entire wall at the entrance made into a bookcase filled with all kinds of books. Tian Xin remembered the last time she went to his house, where there was also a wall of bookcases like this.
Across from the bookcase stood a large floor-to-ceiling window, next to which sat his desk. On it sat a computer and a pile of documents. Against the wall across from him stood a sofa and coffee table, all in a minimalist black and white style.
"Do you usually work here?" Tian Xin walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked out. The view was indeed expansive. This office building had more than thirty floors and was located in the most prosperous area of the new city. Standing here, she could overlook the entire new city.
"Yeah!" Lin Zhou walked up to her and pointed to the distance: "That place is your village."
"I see it!" Tian Xin said with a smile: "Although it's far away, I can still see it clearly. Jiangjun Mountain is there!"
She looked excited and pulled Lin Zhou to point to the side: "That's the stone factory, look..."
"I know!"
Lin Zhou said in a deep voice: "I look at that place every day and miss you..."
“…”
Every day... I miss you...
Tian Xin was startled and suddenly lost her voice.
Lin Zhou didn't look at her. He continued to stare at the stone factory and said calmly, "I look at that place every day and wonder...what are you doing? Where are you? Are you happy? Do you think of me sometimes?"
“…”
"I know you might think I'm useless after I say this." Lin Zhou laughed self-deprecatingly. "Sometimes, I feel that way too! But what can I do? I can't control myself."
“…”
"It's been five years, from school to here, and I still haven't forgotten what you asked me."
"What?" At this point, Tian Xin finally spoke.
"The Moon and Sixpence."
Lin Zhou turned around, leaned on the desk, and aligned his gaze with hers. "You asked me, should I look up at the moon or look down to pick up sixpence? What did I say then?"
"You said...the moon is too far away!"
"Yes! The moon is too far away. I couldn't reach it back then. But now, I want to try!" Lin Zhou lowered his head, his eyes shining like stars as he did back then, and he said to her solemnly:
"Tian Xin, let's be together!"
"ah?"
"Let's be together!"
Lin Zhou said it again, this time more affectionate than before, and more urgently seeking an answer.
Tian Xin felt as if something was passing through her heart, gently tearing a hole in it.
That place is soft and fragile and cannot withstand such a strong attack.
"What did you say?"
"I said, let's be together!"
Lin Zhou held her face in his hands, his eyes full of affection: "I want to see you every day from now on, know what you are doing, and whether anyone is making things difficult for you. I want to love you well and never let you get hurt again. Promise me, okay?"
