Chapter 259 Wedding Room (1)
When the car reached an intersection of Wenjing Road and the North Second Ring Road Interchange, Lin Hai stopped the car, left Lin Zhou and Tian Xin on the side of the road, and took Li Jing to the city.
This place is bustling with traffic at night.
Even though it was almost dawn, the small park under the Second Ring Bridge was still filled with romantic couples and office workers who had just finished overtime and were passing by to sit down and enjoy the cool air.
Lin Zhou held Tian Xin's hand and walked slowly under the bridge.
"That person just now... do you know him?"
Tian Xin's brows were furrowed, as if she was deeply troubled. Hearing Lin Zhou's question, she shook her head: "I didn't see it clearly, but... I guess I was mistaken!"
"Are you still feeling uncomfortable now? Do you want to go to the hospital later?"
"No, no, I'm not that squeamish. I just feel carsick!" She explained, "Maybe I ran too hard today, and Lin Hai drove too fast, so... I feel a little carsick! It's nothing serious!"
"That's good. We'll get there soon and have a good sleep!"
"Well...but," she raised her head again and looked at Lin Zhou, with some hesitation on her face: "I want to... trouble you for something?"
"Don't bother, just ask if you have anything to say!"
"This matter... may be difficult to handle? I'm worried..."
"What are you worried about? What's going on?"
Hearing her say this, Lin Zhou frowned, his face instantly filled with worry: "What's wrong?"
"Help me...find someone!"
————
After walking about 100 meters, they arrived at the gate of a high-end residential complex.
"Palace Garden No. 1? Was this place built so long ago?"
Tian Xin glanced inside through the gate.
Well! Fountains, squares, gardens... it's pretty complete! The security guard is still young, with no unshaven beard and no paunchy belly.
"Do you know this place?" Lin Zhou also took a look inside and asked with a smile.
Of course! I know it more than just knowing it, I know it so well!
Her expression froze for a second, then she adjusted herself and smiled, "I've heard it was very popular a few years ago. I heard the average price was 4,000 yuan per square meter."
"Yeah! Almost!" Lin Zhou nodded, looking at her quietly with an indescribable smile on his face: "You know quite a lot. Do you have any ideas?"
"No!" She shook her head, then looked up at the towering skyscrapers, her eyes full of longing. "However, according to my prediction, within three to five years, the average price here will double, even exceeding ten thousand. Once the subway opens, it will probably be even higher! If you have some spare money, buy a house as an investment, and then resell it when the prices go up. Wow... you'll be financially free in no time!"
Seeing her expression full of longing for the future, Lin Zhou couldn't help but smile and touch her head, his eyes full of doting. He quickly lowered his head and kissed her forehead. When she blushed, he took her hand and swiped his card to enter the community gate.
"Why... did you come in? What are you doing here?"
"Hmm... After hearing what you said, I think it's necessary to buy another one next time..." Lin Zhou took her hand and walked along the garden. Hearing her ask this, he smiled and said: "After all, to achieve the financial freedom you mentioned, we still have to plan carefully!"
"Again? You mean you've already moved in?"
"Um!"
"Then this isn't..."
She suddenly realized and stopped in her tracks: "This can't be...you...why did you bring me here?"
"Don't worry, there's no one else here!" Lin Zhou pulled her forward again: "This is the wedding room my dad prepared for me. It's usually empty. I only stay here for a night when I come to the ancient city occasionally. My dad and his family live in the southern suburbs!"
"Oh!" She breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously, then was startled again: "Wedding room?"
"Yes, the wedding room!" Lin Zhou didn't turn around, and his tone was very natural: "I'll show you around. I asked Li Jing to design this decoration style before. If you don't like it, I can find someone to redo it!"
As they were talking, the two of them had already entered the building and got on the elevator. Tian Xin didn't say anything else, but her brows were furrowed, and she felt a little uneasy in her heart!
Arriving at the door, Lin Zhou turned the key and opened it. She suddenly grabbed his hand and stopped moving: "How about... let's go find Li Jing first! I just remembered that person I met on the road might be... uh... an acquaintance! Zhang Shuai should be here soon, and I don't know what happened to Gao Wen! How about..."
She spoke incoherently, her breathing became rapid, and the hand holding Lin Zhou unconsciously tightened. As she spoke, her eyes dodged back and forth, not daring to look him in the eye.
"What are you thinking about? Huh?" Lin Zhou laughed dumbly, put a hand on her cheek, raised his head and forced his eyes to meet his: "It's just a night's rest, why are you so nervous?"
"I……"
"Or are you expecting..."
"No, no, no, no, no, no... no... no, no, no... I'm not nervous..." She abruptly withdrew her hand, turned around, walked to the window beside her, looked out, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Zhou didn't care. He smiled faintly and opened the door. He put their luggage away first before coming back and pulling her in: "Don't worry, I won't force you to do anything you don't want to do. Come in and take a look! The hostess——"
"Don't... don't say that!" Her face flushed and she let him hold her hand and walk in.
The decoration style of this house is completely different from the one Lin Zhou lived in the county town, and there is no classical style at all.
The house is a duplex, with two floors. The first thing you see upon entering is a large, open living room facing south. The interior is simple, adopting a Nordic minimalist style. All the furniture and lighting are in black and white, with no other colors!
At the end of the living room is a floor-to-ceiling balcony, from which you can overlook the entire night view of the North City. Thousands of lights shine brightly like stars.
Immediately to the left of the living room lies an open kitchen. It's fully equipped, rivaling the vibrant, homey kitchen of Tian Xin's previous life. The color scheme is also exquisite: still black and white, but with the addition of adorable cartoon tiles on the walls. This design instantly breaks the tired feeling a kitchen can create. Imagine, on a warm afternoon, after a busy day, suddenly seeing SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick Star on the wall—would that bring a smile to your face and melt away all the fatigue?
Tian Xin looked around, finally settling on the upright piano near the balcony. As a young woman with some musical talent, she was passionate about piano. Whenever she had the chance, she'd always be tempted to play.
"Would you like to try it?" Lin Zhou followed her gaze, walked over and opened the piano cover: "I've hardly used this guitar since I bought it, and I only know that one song. I think it's really unfair to it!"
"Then why did you buy it?" She looked up and smiled. Her fingers started from the lowest note of the piano and moved all the way to the right, gently stroking all the white keys. She stopped at the 88th key and pressed it lightly: "Ding——"
After a crisp sound, she lowered her head, pulled out the piano stool, found the muffler pedal and stepped on it.
"What's this for?"
"Mute it, let me test the pitch!" She placed her hands on the keys, found the standard pitch, and before playing, she turned around and explained, "Sorry, my hands are itching..."
Lin Zhou heard this and smiled indulgently: "It's up to you, this is..."
A few dull sounds came from the piano speakers, interrupting his words. He didn't say anything more, but quietly watched her slender fingers flying on the keys. The satisfaction in his heart reached its peak at this moment!
Tian Xin just played a random scale, tried a few notes, and then closed the piano lid.
"Not bad, the pitch is not off, and the feel is great. It's a great piano!"
"Why don't you play a piece..."
"Brother, don't you see what time it is? If you play it at this hour, the neighbors will definitely come and knock on the door!"
She smiled and turned to the window.
"Then let's go upstairs. It's really getting late!" Lin Zhou walked over, took her hand, and went up the stairs to the second floor...
