haven't seen you for a long time
Lin Yu took a few steps and the black car behind her was still parked there. Through the black glass, she always felt that the person inside was looking at her, and she felt a little uneasy.
Tao Xingye left without a word that year, and she didn't realize he had gone abroad until two months later. After all, Jincheng is so small, if he stayed here, how could she not run into him once?
Going back to Switzerland tomorrow? He'd better leave quickly! She never wanted to see him in Jincheng again.
"What are you thinking about with that stiff face?" A hand suddenly grabbed Lin Yu's waist from behind and pulled her into his arms, the voice full of teasing.
Tao Xingye lowered his head and approached her with a playful smile. He was so big that Lin Yu was completely wrapped in him.
The place he touched was getting hotter and hotter. Lin Yu struggled to let him let her go, but he chuckled and turned Lin Yu's body straight.
"Lin Yu, I'll give you another chance." He bent down slightly, his amber eyes facing Lin Yu, staring at her so seriously, as if he wanted to suck her soul away.
"Are you going?"
His voice was soft and slow, but his eyes gradually showed a bit of threat and coldness.
Lin Yu felt extremely strange. Tao Xingye was not like this even before. Now they could be considered strangers. How could he hug her?
Too frivolous, too dangerous.
"I'm not going." Lin Yu pushed his hand away, and he didn't pester her anymore.
"It's better not to go." Tao Xingye chuckled, but his eyes were fixed on Lin Yu, as if he saw through him.
He said nothing, staring at her as she retreated, the smile on his lips growing wider.
The black car finally left, leaving Lin Yu alone there.
She waited anxiously for many days, but Tao Xingye really seemed to have no intention of getting entangled with her, and he disappeared again after that day.
She thought that it would be better for him to never return to Jincheng, and even if he did, he should not appear in front of her.
On the weekend, she went to the hotel as usual, but the supervisor looked at her and brought her to Zhang Haitao.
"I forgot to deal with you last time. Tell me, what's your name?" Zhang Haitao sat on the chair opposite her, crossed his legs and looked like he was interrogating a prisoner.
Lin Yu didn't answer. She glanced at the foreman out of the corner of her eye, but the foreman avoided her with a stiff face. Was he going to put all the blame on her?
"Manager Zhang, it was my fault that day."
"Your fault?" Zhang Haitao slammed the table, stood up, and walked around her. "Lin Yu, I don't think you're anything special. How did you hook up with Mr. Tao?"
Mr. Tao? Lin Yuxin suddenly mentioned it. Yeah, that happened a week ago. Even if she made a mistake, there was no need to bring it up now, especially since she hadn't made any major mistakes at the time.
"I quit!" Lin Yu glanced at the two people in the room, took two steps back and was about to leave.
Zhang Haitao quickly grabbed her and said, "What are you doing? I didn't say I would punish you." He seemed to have been caught with something, and his tone suddenly softened.
Lin Yu was now completely certain that Tao Xingye had intervened.
"Lin Yu, there's something I need to tell you. Mr. Zhou and Mr. Tao are having a dinner with us tonight. Mr. Zhou wants you to be in charge of the waiter duties."
Zhang Haitao rubbed his hands together and spoke frankly, "Lin Yu, I know you're in a hurry to use the money, so you came here to work part-time. Don't you think about what kind of people they are? If you provide good service, will you get any benefits?"
Noticing the relaxation in Lin Yu's eyes, Zhang Haitao winked at her supervisor, who quickly hugged her affectionately, without his usual seriousness.
"Xiaoyu, this good job wasn't originally yours. Now that you're here as a part-time worker, you should think about what you really want."
What do you want? Lin Yu thought of her brother's illness. Yes, why is she still entangled in these things?
"I'll go."
The two of them smiled immediately when they heard it, and the foreman pulled Lin Yu over to explain the precautions to her.
That evening, Tao Xingye's car pulled up to the hotel entrance on time. Zhou Xing, who had just returned from his inspection, ran into him at the door.
"Let's go. I guarantee you'll be satisfied with tonight's dinner." Zhou Xing put his arm around his shoulder, and the two of them walked into the box together.
As soon as he entered the door, Tao Xingye noticed Lin Yu, who was standing in the corner with the others, with his head lowered and his face submissive.
Each VIP box at Yunjin Renjia has a different style, and the waiters’ attire has been adjusted accordingly.
The private room they booked today has a retro style, and several waiters are wearing classic red dresses.
Although he was dressed the same as everyone else, in that row of people, Tao Xingye only saw Lin Yu at first sight.
It took a lot of effort to tie her short hair up neatly. Her forehead was full and her face didn't have much color except for a little red between her lips.
She stood there quietly with her eyes downcast. The old-fashioned wall lamp behind her made her hair shine, and she looked as beautiful as the girl in the advertisement.
Tao Xingye glanced at Zhou Xing and said, "Thank you for your trouble."
Zhou Xing smiled knowingly. For people like them, this arrangement was just a piece of cake.
Everyone has their moments of playfulness, and since the person was with him, Zhou Xing had no reason not to make arrangements. He also wanted to see what kind of connection this waiter could have with Tao Xingye.
Not long after we were seated, the dishes were served.
Lin Yu’s job was not to serve the food, but to sit next to Tao Xingye and help him add wine and serve the food.
A club of Yunjinrenjia's level provides attentive service, with nothing they can't do, except what others can't imagine.
If the money is in place, we can even directly follow the emperor's standards.
They were not far away, and Lin Yu could clearly smell the mint scent on Tao Xingye.
His aura was too overbearing, enveloping Lin Yu completely. Lin Yu originally planned to treat him as a stranger.
Even if she kept her eyes down and didn't look at him, the mint scent reminded Lin Yu who was next to her.
Tao Xingye and Zhou Xing chatted idly, clinking glasses from time to time. Lin Yu was also relaxed, after all, this kind of dinner party was not meant to be just for eating.
She had no idea of Tao Xingye's preferences, so she helped him pick up each dish in order. Her presence was so low that she was almost like a waiter standing at the door.
The waitress next to Zhou Xing would interject a few words. She was humorous and witty, and every time she spoke, she could liven up the atmosphere.
"You're quite clever." Tao Xingye shook the red wine casually, brought it to his lips and smelled the fragrance before taking a sip, his eyes inadvertently falling on Lin Yu.
Seeing that the man was still silent, Tao Xingye also got angry, "Lin Yu, I want to eat shrimp balls."
This sentence caused everyone at the table to look at them. How could he, a young man, know the name of a waiter?
"Just pick it up." Lin Yu quickly picked up several pieces of food with chopsticks, wishing she could stuff them into Tao Xingye's mouth to block it.
Seeing the panic on Lin Yu's face, Tao Xingye started eating in a good mood. He didn't talk much to Zhou Xing and just kept telling Lin Yu what dishes to pick for him.
His movements were so graceful, yet he ate surprisingly fast. Lin Yu was a little flustered. Finally, she was forced into a corner and couldn't help but glare at him.
The smile on Tao Xingye's face became even more rampant. He no longer gave Lin Yu any instructions, but just leaned back in his chair and looked at her.
Zhou Xing was a smart guy. He used the excuse of having something to do to leave the box for the two of them, and asked the others to follow him out.
The girl who served him the food bowed her head, greeted him, and was about to leave. There was a polite smile on her face, but it seemed a bit distant.
Zhou Xing was intrigued by her curvy figure, but he didn't rush to speak. He lit a cigarette, twisted it between his index and middle fingers, and took a puff. The man had already walked halfway down the corridor.
"What's your name?"
His tone was lazy, and he still had his usual nonchalant look, but he lacked the dignity he usually had when patrolling the hotel.
Shuang Axi turned around slowly. Under the light, her eyes were as charming as silk threads and her red lips parted slightly. "Shuang Axi, Mr. Zhou, just call me Xiaoxi."
Her fingertips gently twisted around a strand of black hair that "accidentally" fell out of her bun. The black and white contrasted with each other. It was such a simple action, but it was particularly sexy and charming.
"Please excuse my behavior, Mr. Zhou. My hair is not combed properly. Please don't punish me."
Zhou Xing saw the seduction in her eyes. They were all mature men and women, so who could be so ignorant of romance?
His eyes were slightly narrowed, and he blew out smoke rings. His whole body exuded a mature and romantic masculine charm.
He walked towards Shuang Axi, put the cigarette in her mouth, and reached out to hold the strand of hair in place for her.
"Sister Xiaoxi is even more beautiful when you look at her up close." He took the cigarette from her mouth, and the cigarette tip was already imprinted with the color of her lips.
He lowered his head and looked at her straight, with a smile on his face, and put the cigarette into his mouth ambiguously and slowly.
The red lip marks were pressed by his thin lips, and his hands also wrapped around Shuang Axi's waist.
In the box, Tao Xingye stopped ordering Lin Yu around and poured himself a glass of wine.
Sweet white wine is fragrant but not greasy, complex and charming; dry red wine is bitter at first, but has a slightly sweet aftertaste.
Some people like the passion of sweet white wine, while others like the tenderness hidden under the sourness of dry red wine.
Tao Xingye felt the peace he hadn't felt in a long time. He really wanted to say "long time no see" to Lin Yu again.
She always seemed to have different feelings from herself. They hadn't seen each other for so many years, it was as if she had really forgotten herself.
Over the years, he always thought of that dim carriage. He not only regretted it, but even felt a little resentful, hating himself for lowering himself to confess his feelings to Lin Yu.
He thought of countless things to say to Lin Yu when he saw her again, and he had ten thousand ways to bring back the situation from that year.
But when I really saw her, all I could say was "Long time no see".
"Lin Yu, go get a glass and have a drink with me." Tao Xingye sighed. Lin Yu sat next to him without responding, so he stood up and got a clean Burgundy glass.
The mellow red wine is poured into the glass, and a rich aroma instantly neutralizes the mint scent.
The wine glass was stuffed into Lin Yu's hand, and Tao Xingye clinked glasses with hers without saying a word.
The crisp sound of glass woke Lin Yu up. She glanced at Tao Xingye and finally raised her hand to drink some.
She had rarely drunk dry red wine, let alone such an expensive one.
I took a sip of wine in my mouth, it was bitter and astringent, I couldn't swallow it at all.
A glass of water was suddenly placed in front of her. It was Tao Xingye.
