Chapter 220 Going South (2)
The car did not stop when it arrived at the county town, but sped all the way onto the highway.
"Didn't I tell you to drop me off at the bus station? What does that mean?"
"It's just a short distance. I can get there in one go. What's the big deal?" Lin Zhou turned his head and looked at her and said, "It's almost dark. You're running so far by yourself. I have to follow you!"
"Why are you following me? I'm looking for someone, not going out to play. You're following..."
"What's wrong?"
"inconvenient!"
"Inconvenient?" Lin Zhou couldn't help laughing: "Is it inconvenient for me to follow, or are you afraid that I might meet someone?"
"It's both. In short, it's inconvenient!" Tian Xin said with a frown.
"Then I'm curious. Who is it that's inconvenient for me to see?" Lin Zhou turned his head and looked at her with a smile: "I really want to see!"
"you……"
"Just sit quietly and don't disturb me while I'm driving!" Lin Zhou reached out and patted her, then turned to look ahead and said nothing more.
It was just getting dark when we arrived at the ancient city, the setting sun swallowed by the night. As dusk fell, the neon lights in the north of the city shone with a brilliant, colorful glow. As the car passed the Second Ring Road, Lin Zhou deliberately slowed down.
"Have you decided? Where are we going?"
This was the third time Lin Zhou asked her. Ever since they got off the highway, she had been emphasizing that he should just find an intersection to stop and drop her off.
But Lin Zhou insisted on seeing the person before she would leave. She had no choice but to ask Gao Wen for help.
After Gao Wen and Gao Cheng got married, they moved to the new technology district in the south of the city. They hadn't seen each other for months. In this ancient city, Gao Wen was the only person she could contact at any time and who she could trouble without hesitation.
"Go to the south of the city—Technology City!" Tian Xin quickly tapped the keyboard of her phone and sent a text message to Gao Wen: "Help, call me quickly!"
When Lin Zhou saw her take out her cell phone to send a text message, he smiled dotingly and said nothing.
Gao Wen called quickly, and as soon as she answered, she laughed loudly at her: "What's the rush?"
“…”
Although the hands-free mode was off, Lin Zhou definitely heard it. Tian Xin turned her head awkwardly and looked out the window.
"I'll be at the intersection of Keji 2nd Road in a while, please come out and pick me up!" She quickly lowered the volume of her phone while talking to Gao Wen, and glanced at Lin Zhou casually.
Lin Zhou drove calmly, with no expression on his face.
"Are you in the ancient city?" Gao Wen asked on the other end of the phone.
"Well, we're almost there!" She glanced out the car window.
The car was speeding southwards towards the Science and Technology City. This road was a prosperous area with colorful lights on both sides of the road and roses climbing all over the walls exuding vitality.
Tian Xin exchanged a few words with Gao Wen before hanging up the phone. She opened the car window, letting the wind in and feeling the night air.
There were large tracts of roses planted in the green belt, emitting bursts of fragrance. The evening breeze blew straight into the car, filling the car with the scent of flowers.
"It smells so good!" She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and exclaimed.
Lin Zhou opened all the car windows including the skylight, letting the wind blow into the car. The faint fragrance instantly became strong, surrounding the two of them.
"That day, it was the same!" Tian Xin suddenly spoke, as if lost in some memory: "How did you find me?"
"I saw it when I came out of the ancient temple, and I've been following it ever since!" Lin Zhou said calmly. Without asking further questions or thinking, he already knew what Tian Xin was talking about.
It was last autumn, the day when Tian Xin came to the ancient city and went to a concert with Gao Wen and others.
He followed her all the way, fearing she would suddenly disappear. He hadn't seen her for over six months, and all contact had been severed. The gnawing longing nearly tormented him. But that day, he unexpectedly saw her in the crowd.
"You were wearing a white coat that day, with a furry scarf around your neck. You stood out so much in the crowd, I saw you right away!"
Lin Zhou turned around and smiled at her: "But the crowd was so crowded that day, and I almost lost you a few times. But luckily, you didn't stay there for long, so I followed you closely and watched you..."
"If I'm not alone, are you going to stop showing up?"
"yes!"
"Why?"
“…”
Lin Zhou didn't answer, but turned his head and looked at her deeply.
This glance was no different from any other, but Tian Xin suddenly felt her heart tighten, and thousands of words instantly flooded her mind, and she couldn't wait to tell him.
"Lin Zhou..." she called softly.
"Um?"
"sorry……"
“…”
"I didn't mean to alienate you. It's just me. I can't convince myself."
Tian Xin said emotionally: "That day, I did it on purpose!"
"I know!"
"You know?"
"I know!" Lin Zhou said, "I can feel that we were in the same mood at that time! Even though it was hard to accept at the time, at least we met again after that day, right?"
The traffic light was red at that moment, so he stopped the car and turned to look into Tian Xin's eyes with an extremely sincere look: "So, you don't have to apologize. For me, that day was a new beginning!"
"A new beginning?" Tian Xin murmured, "Do you... really think so?"
"Um!"
Lin Zhou reached out and touched her hair, then smiled faintly at her, his eyes full of doting: "Don't do this again in the future, okay? It's very hurtful!"
“…”
Okay, I promise you!
From the north to the south of the city, Lin Zhou took the fastest main road—Weiyang Road! Even though he didn't stop along the way, it still took quite a while. By the time he reached Keji 2nd Road, it was completely dark.
Gao Wen and Gao Cheng sat on a rocking chair under a streetlight, hugging each other and chatting. From a distance, they really looked like a newlywed couple, very loving!
Tian Xin couldn't help but stick her head out of the car window and teased the two of them: "Hey, can you two pay attention to the occasion and not abuse the dog at a time like this, okay?"
"ah--"
When Gao Wen heard her voice, she screamed, then stood up and ran towards the car, opening her arms and shouting, "Xin, my Xin——"
"Beauty!" Tian Xin also got out of the car yelling and gave Gao Wen a tight bear hug. The two of them stood on the sidewalk jumping for joy.
"I miss you so much. Why did you come just now?" Gao Wen shouted while pounding her back. She was completely different from the gentle and shy Gao Wen who used to blush easily.
Tian Xin was a little overwhelmed by the hammering and quickly shouted: "Hey, hey, hey, Gao Cheng, please take care of your wife, I'm almost beaten to death!"
Gao Chengcai didn't care and just sat in his rocking chair to watch the fun. When he saw Lin Zhou get off the car, he waved at him: "Hey, buddy, here?"
Lin Zhou walked over and said hello.
"How is it going? Recently? Any progress?" Gao Cheng asked with a smile.
