Chapter 343 Chinese Valentine's Day (13)
“You can’t be so absolute!
Before Haruki Murakami wrote Norwegian Wood, he ran a famously successful bar in his local area! I heard Picasso became famous because he was a master of self-marketing. The two complemented each other and led to his later world-renowned status.
Lin Zhou stopped in front of the man, looked at him with a slightly scrutinizing gaze, and said in a very rude tone: "You are generalizing a bit, aren't you?"
This was so unlike him. Regardless of whether his words were appropriate, the way he looked at people now made it clear he was holding a grudge.
Tian Xin was extremely embarrassed. She quickly stood up and tugged at him: "What are you doing? I was just chatting with my uncle..."
"Uncle?" Lin Zhou smiled at the man, his face half mocking and half disdainful: "You came here so late, and went to all this trouble, didn't you, just to chat?"
"Hey, don't say that, we just met..."
Before he could finish his words, the man suddenly stood up, his face serious and intimidating: "How dare you talk to your father like that, little brat?"
“…”
Laozi?
Tian Xin was startled and her brows immediately twisted into a knot.
Looking closely, the two men looked quite similar, and were roughly the same height. No wonder she'd felt so familiar, yet couldn't place where she'd seen them before. And then there was that inexplicable nervousness.
Now it makes sense!
"Uncle, I'm sorry, it's the first time I meet you, I didn't know you were..."
"Dad, if there's nothing else, go back!"
Lin Zhou interrupted her, his tone still the same as before, without any politeness: "We have something to do today. When I'm free another day, I'll take her to your house for a special visit. Let's not be so petty and make people laugh at us!"
"You little brat, you're becoming more and more disrespectful of me!" Lin Zhenhua's face was filled with anger. He turned and glanced at Tian Xin: "I just want to know what kind of girl could make my son do this? You didn't even bring her home. Now it seems that the girl is a good girl, but can you change your bad temper? I didn't say anything, why are you so excited?"
"Yes, Lin Zhou! Uncle and I were just chatting!" She tugged at Lin Zhou again, then turned to look at Lin Zhenhua with embarrassment: "Uncle, I'm so sorry today. I didn't know you were Lin Zhou's father. If I said something I shouldn't have just said, please don't take it to heart. I... I'm a straightforward person and never think before I speak..."
She explained in a panic, the tension on her face visible to the naked eye.
Lin Zhenhua waved his hand, seemingly unconcerned: "Girl, don't be nervous. I came here today just because I was a little curious and wanted to see you. There's nothing else to it! That's all for today. I'm tired too. Let Lin Zhou bring you home some other day and we can have a good chat!"
After saying that, he waved to the front.
The little girl happened to run over from under the bridge and threw herself into his arms: "Grandpa, the flowers are sold out. Look, we sold a total of 350 yuan! It's more than you said!"
The girl waved the money in her hand. There were three hundred-yuan bills and one fifty-yuan bill, which was exactly 350 yuan.
Lin Zhenhua pinched the girl's cheeks, and her expression completely changed. Now, it was a kind and doting face, completely different from when he was talking to Lin Zhou before.
"Yaoyao, you're awesome! You completed the mission well. I'll reward you with a big toy when we get back! Tell Grandpa what you want."
"Lego, I want a big Lego!" Yaoyao said: "Grandpa, this sister helped me sell it!"
"Yeah, I know!"
"Hey, uncle! Why are you here too?" Yaoyao turned her head and saw Lin Zhou standing in front of her, and he stretched out his hand towards her again.
"Uncle, why are you here? I missed you so much, why didn't you come to see Yaoyao?"
uncle?
Oh my god? Tian Xin was confused. She turned around and watched Lin Zhou take Yaoyao from his father, and her expression became gentle.
"Why are you here too?"
"Grandpa asked me to find my sister..."
"Yaoyao!" Lin Zhenhua shouted, and Yaoyao immediately shut up.
"Okay, we should go back!" He took Yaoyao from Lin Zhou's hands, put her down and held her hand. He turned his head and glanced at Tian Xin: "Come to my house some other day!"
"Oh, okay!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Zhenhua took Yaoyao and walked towards the door. He didn't look at Lin Zhou, nor did he say a word to him.
Lin Zhou looked at the backs of the old man and the young boy, and his eyes revealed an emotion that Tian Xin could not quite understand.
"Why does Yaoyao call you uncle?" she asked curiously.
"My cousin's child has been close to my dad since he was young!" Lin Zhou said, turning his head.
Seeing that the two people had walked away, he turned around, took Tian Xin's hand, and walked towards the bridge again.
"Why haven't I heard you mention it?"
"What's there to say? They're not important relatives. I don't have any connection with them!"
Lin Zhou said calmly, his expression returning to its previous seriousness. Then, he suddenly remembered something and asked tentatively, "Did my dad give you any trouble just now?"
"No, we just exchanged a few words." Tian Xin replied, "But what happened to you just now? Why did you look so bitter and resentful? He's your dad, why would you have such an attitude?"
Lin Zhou avoided answering and asked again: "So what did you talk about? Did he ask any inappropriate questions?"
"Excessive question?" Tian Xin smiled. "What do you mean? Asking me if I have a partner, does that count?"
"That doesn't count, what else is there?"
“Gone!”
"No more?"
"Yes, it's gone!" She nodded in response, her expression quite certain.
"Okay, that's good!" Lin Zhou seemed to believe it and didn't ask any further questions.
The scenery on the bridge is as beautiful as ever, with waves of people surging up, making it much more crowded than before.
Lin Zhou held her hand tightly and went down from the other side without staying for long.
"Oh, by the way, what were you trying to say?"
"What?"
"Just now, when the fireworks were going off! What did you say about quieting down?"
"Um……"
Lin Zhou looked around and hesitated: "I originally wanted to...want to..."
"What?"
"Tian Xin, I originally wanted to..." He hesitated and couldn't say it.
"What are you thinking about?"
"Forget it, it's not appropriate now. I'll tell you later!"
He sighed deeply, took out his cell phone, and started calling again: "Wait a minute, I...I'll make a call, it will be quick. Don't go far!"
"oh!"
He told her not to go too far, but Lin Zhou ran away himself.
It's almost ten o'clock. If I go back any later, I will feel bad even if Li Aiying doesn't say anything.
She sat on a bench under the bridge, staring at the "sea of sunflowers" in front of her in a daze.
People coming and going around me were all couples hugging each other intimately.
She saw the couple who had been arguing just now but reconciled because of Yaoyao's bouquet of flowers, standing by the sea of flowers, taking pictures with their faces close together.
The couple who proposed marriage had already succeeded. At this moment, on the crowded bridge, the two embraced each other affectionately, their faces full of sweetness.
"very nice!"
She lowered her head and smiled, and Lin Zhou's figure suddenly appeared in her mind.
"Today is Chinese Valentine's Day. I don't know if it's appropriate to tell you this now..."
Lin Zhou's voice suddenly came from a distance, very loud. There was an immediate cry of surprise from all around.
She raised her head and saw that the wall that had been flashing next to the huge "sea of sunflowers" suddenly turned into a huge screen with Lin Zhou's face appearing on it.
"I didn't expect this guy to be so romantic!"
Li Jing came down from the bridge at this time, dragging Zhang Shuai, who looked unhappy, behind him.
"Boss!"
Tian Xin was shocked again and again. Before she could react, Lin Zhou on the screen spoke again.
After hearing this, several people suddenly lost their composure...
