Chapter 63 The Six Mysterious Trips
Lin Xingmian: "We're leaving tonight, so wear something loose and comfortable. I'll pick you up after school."
Boss Xu: "Leaving tonight?"
"Didn't you say it would be the weekend last time?"
Lin Xingmian: "Yes, my weekend starts from Friday night."
Xu Zhiyu: "When are you coming back? Are you going to spend the night outside?"
Lin Xingmian: Yes. I'll be back on Sunday.
He paused for a moment, then said, "Bring your ID card."
"You're not coming back until Sunday!?" Mr. Xu exclaimed in surprise. "Where are you going? Why are you being so mysterious? I'll have to bring a suitcase! I want to dress up and do my makeup... so I can take pictures and post them on WeChat Moments..."
Lin Xingmian was taken aback.
He hadn't thought of that. He was thinking that once they arrived, she could buy whatever she needed, so she only needed to bring her ID card.
Lin Xingmian: "Yes, once we get the wood and water, we can buy anything we're missing. But it would be more convenient to bring your own things that you're used to."
Afraid that she would continue to press him, he fled as if to say, "Then go home and pack your luggage, sister. I'm going to school now. Uncle Yang will drive over tonight. Don't carry your suitcase; I'll help you carry it after school."
Xu Zhiyu was completely confused: "Eh—"
She didn't move him, and Lin Xingmian quickly left the supermarket with a swift movement.
She stared at the wind chimes swaying by the door, puzzled.
They actually want to produce wood water?
I'll only be back on Sunday!
This guy won't tell her exactly where he's going, he's being so mysterious!
She couldn't help but smile.
What's going on? Are you on vacation?
So sudden...
.
The sky gradually darkened.
A strong wind blew this evening, sending fallen leaves flying everywhere.
Xu Zhiyu packed a small suitcase when she got home, changed into a loose blue and white tracksuit, tied her slightly wavy long hair into a high ponytail, and put on light makeup.
She unzipped her coat a little and looked at the beautiful necklace around her neck in the mirror.
Yes, in the end she chose to wear the necklace and did not return it to Xingmian.
She thought that if she were willing to wear it, Xingmian would be very happy every day when she saw it.
So she changed her mind. Instead of returning the necklace, she went to a gold shop and picked out a solid sugar cube of gold, had a small hole drilled in the center, and then bought a black braided cord, deciding to make him a bracelet herself at home.
She searched online for a long time and found a very complicated design, but the bracelet with gold sugar cubes was the most beautiful. So she studied it for a whole afternoon and finally learned how to weave it.
During the day, the supermarket is bustling with people, and making bracelets would be too easy for people to see, so she felt a little embarrassed.
Because the recipient would definitely ask who it was for after seeing it, she simply waited until after get off work to go home and stay up all night to make it, since she's a master of staying up late!
Ever since Boss Xu announced her phoenix-like rebirth in the store, the neighbors have been happy for her! Including the other supermarkets in the same industry, although they are business competitors, everyone felt sorry for Ah Yu and wanted to stand up for her after what happened to her.
When they went to the dinner party, Ayu also invited Aunt Wang, Sister Bohe, and Xiaomeng to join them.
Actually, she always knew that they were the ones who came up with the idea and helped her. She also knew that Xiaomeng found the surveillance footage in the supermarket and then they uploaded it online. It's just that she was too tired those few days.
Feeling emotionally drained, I have no interest or enthusiasm for anything.
So I simply turned a blind eye and let them do as they pleased.
After she recovered, she watched the surveillance footage of Xiaomeng and the other two coming to the supermarket to check the security camera footage that day—it was hard to believe that just these three people could have made such a big fuss about this.
Ah Yu smiled helplessly, but at the same time she was touched.
With so many people in her life who love and care about her, why should she torment herself repeatedly for a mere man?
It was Shen Siqing's fault, not Xu Zhiyu's.
She realized that besides romantic love, she also had Huainan Lane, whom she deeply loved.
...
I opened the box again to confirm that the bracelet inside was intact.
She carefully placed the box into her handbag.
Xingmian will definitely like it, because this is not an ordinary bracelet.
A wisp of black hair ties your wrist.
Traditionally, hair symbolizes a woman's willingness to dedicate her life to her beloved, conveying deep emotions and commitment through this part of her hair that represents life.
She saw this by chance while looking for knitting patterns.
With a strange feeling in her heart, she separated a small strand of hair, cut it off herself, and wove it into the black bracelet.
The braid is tight and secure, perfectly concealing the hair inside. Unless pulled hard or violently torn, the hair inside will not be visible.
.
A strong wind blew, making her stray hairs blur her vision.
After saying goodbye to his parents, Mr. Xu and Xingmian got into the car parked at the supermarket entrance.
He arrived late today, and I don't know when he changed his clothes. He was wearing a denim jacket in the morning, but by evening he had changed into a white windbreaker and loose sweatpants.
After putting the suitcase in the trunk, Uncle Yang drove the car into the alley as instructed by Young Master Lin. Boss Xu and Lin Xingmian sat in the back seat, leaving one person's seat empty in the middle.
Xu Zhiyu: "Hello, Uncle Yang~"
She glanced at the driver in his suit, wondering why he was dressed so formally, but still greeted him politely.
Driver Yang was slightly surprised, clearly not expecting this person to greet him specifically.
He nodded formally: "Hello, Miss Xu. I've heard so much about you. Our young master..."
He was speaking when the boy's sharp gaze suddenly swept over him in the rearview mirror.
"Sigh, I often hear Xingmian mention you."
Ms. Xu glanced at the strange atmosphere between Uncle Yang and Xingmian, and gave an awkward laugh: "Haha, is that so?"
Actually, she had always had some issues with Xingmian's parents, specifically regarding his past habit of always eating bread.
"High school is a crucial time, after all. I noticed he always ate bread before, and I thought it wasn't good for his health. May I ask if Uncle Yang is Xingmian's...?"
Driver Yang: "I am his uncle."
He wouldn't say who his uncle was, but she didn't want to pry into other people's business.
He just said in a slightly unfriendly tone, "For a student like Xingmian at such a crucial stage of learning, as parents, giving money is one thing, but the most important thing is to show care and concern. In addition, it's the senior year of high school. When I was in my senior year, although my parents were busy with work, they took turns getting up early every morning to make me breakfast. If there is a high school student in the family, then parents should pay even more attention to it."
Driver Yang nodded repeatedly: "Miss Xu is right."
Is it because they don't value it?
This is absolutely a huge joke!
Hearing this, Lin Xingmian laughed happily: "I just like going to the supermarket to eat with you, it's okay."
Driver Yang: Of course!
It's not that we don't care, it's that we simply can't! We have to help the young master keep it from Boss Xu on one side, and help him keep it from Master Lin on the other. This job is really difficult!
Ah Yu turned her head, rested it on the headrest, gazed at Xing Mian, and smiled.
Lin Xingmian's throat went dry from the heat of her gaze, and she said hoarsely, "Sister, get some sleep. Let's go to the airport."
With Uncle Yang around, he didn't dare to be too presumptuous. Uncle Yang only knew that his sister was very important to him, but he didn't know his own feelings for her, so he didn't dare to sit too close to her.
He wanted to hold her in his arms, but he only dared to think about it.
Xu Zhiyu nodded, but she didn't go to sleep.
She curiously examined the interior of the car, sensing it was quite valuable. Her doubts about Xingmian deepened, and she thought she should find a suitable time to ask him about it.
Now that I think about it, it seems that he dodged the question last time and I didn't get an answer. This time, once we get to our destination, I'm determined to catch him and get to the bottom of it!
She looked out the car window, a sense of fear gradually creeping into her heart.
She was a little unsure whether the bracelet in her bag was a suitable gift for Xingmian.
.
It was 11 p.m. at the Xueanshan Century Hotel.
Their plane landed at Linfeng City Xuean Airport, and the hotel sent a car to pick them up. The journey was smooth, and they have only just finished checking in.
The hotel staff helped carry the luggage, and Ayu followed behind Xingmian, looking up at the huge and luxurious hotel decor, her shock coming one wave after another.
The unfamiliar place and overly upscale style made her feel somewhat insecure, and also gradually created a distance between her and Xingmian.
It turned out that Xingmian was much wealthier and more prosperous than she had imagined.
She watched the young man walking calmly ahead. He looked down at his room key and map, carefully studying the route they were going to take. She suddenly felt that he was not the Lin Xingmian she knew.
He himself knew nothing about him, not about his family, not about his upbringing.
They didn't even know his phone number.
And she foolishly followed him to another city far from Mushui, a city she had never been to before.
Ah Yu touched the box in her bag and became even more hesitant.
Lin Xingmian was so engrossed in studying the map that he looked up and realized his sister was no longer in his sight. He instinctively panicked and hurriedly looked behind him—
She walked awkwardly behind, appearing particularly small and cramped in the spacious hotel garden.
She looked at him with a cautious gaze he had never seen before.
Lin Xingmian felt a sudden pang of sadness.
He took the initiative to walk back, and in a few steps he crossed the chasm that was rapidly expanding in Boss Xu's eyes, walked to her side, and took her hand that Xue An had cooled.
Try to soothe her anxiety: "I'm holding your sister's hand, don't be afraid."
They walked forward together, and he said, "This is my first time here too. It's so big. Even with the map, I still feel like I'm going to get lost. So, sister, hold on tight to me. If you get lost with me, I'll go crazy with worry."
"Haha~" The girl was amused by his few words. "How crazy are you going to be? I'd really like to see!"
Lin Xingmian: "That won't do."
Under the bright lights of the hotel garden, she couldn't see his blushing face.
"I won't let my sister see me when I'm not handsome."
"Oh, oh, oh~" Boss Xu pouted and teased, "Who said you're handsome now? You're so narcissistic!"
Xingmian tilted her head, then suddenly turned her face closer—
He stopped abruptly at her lips, their eyes met, and they could hear each other's breaths.
His handsome lips moved slightly: "No, I don't like narcissism, I like older sister relationships."
