Chapter 209 Isn't it?
Feeling that his attitude was a little distant, the indifference in the air made Lin Zhiwan at a loss, as if she was pushed away by an invisible force.
She felt a little empty inside, but she didn't know how to fill the void.
He forced a smile: "But, in my heart, you are always very special. I would like to invite you to have dinner with me on this trip to the provincial capital. Is it convenient?"
There was a slight tremor in her voice and she tried hard to maintain her apparent calmness, hoping to impress the other person with her sincerity.
"No thanks. I have no interest in accepting hospitality from my female comrades. Your outstanding performance at your job is the best way to thank you."
After saying this, Fu Yanlin stood up and prepared to go find Qiao Jin. His tone was firm and left no room for negotiation, as if he was issuing an ultimatum.
Dealing with other girls was indeed a hassle for him.
There was an impatient look on his face and his brows were furrowed, as if he was thinking about something more worthy of his attention.
As the other person stood up and his tall figure came into view, the space seemed to become smaller.
Feeling this pressure, Lin Zhiwan's smile froze, and the words she was about to say were swallowed back into her throat.
However, Fu Yanlin left a cold remark: "I need to use the bathroom."
These words pierced into her heart like an icy blade, without any warmth.
After saying this, he left resolutely, with steady and quick steps, not giving Lin Zhiwan any chance to catch up.
Looking at the receding figure, Lin Zhiwan's face gradually regained its calmness but also revealed a hint of complexity - even though she had a premonition before, she still couldn't help feeling sad when she faced the reality.
The helplessness and loss almost swallowed her up.
The feeling of having a secret love ruthlessly broken just as it sprouts is really heartbreaking, just like a flower bud being hit by a storm before it blooms.
This feeling echoed repeatedly in Lin Zhiwan's heart, making it difficult for her to calm her inner sadness.
After standing there alone for a long time, Lin Zhiwan's eyes flashed with jealousy towards that woman - who was she?
Why can I go to the provincial capital with Fu Yanlin?
These thoughts lingered in my mind like a cloud of fog and could not be dispelled.
Is there some strong support behind this?
This question kept lingering around in her head, making her feel more and more confused and uneasy, and her heart was filled with all kinds of suspicions and puzzles.
On this side, when Qiao Jin passed by Lin Qiaosheng's position...
Everyone started a new round of jokes when they saw this scene...
Qiao Jin took a deep breath, then swallowed her saliva, and finally mustered up the courage to refute: "Stop talking about me and Qiaosheng! Just treat him as my own brother, and please don't continue to affect his future partner-hunting!"
These words immediately stopped the laughter around them.
Everyone realized that a one-sided relationship could not be forced into a happy ending, and no one was willing to continue making meaningless jokes to bring the two together in such an awkward situation.
Lin Qiaosheng, who was sitting in his seat, looked a little stiff. He held his breath, as if he was trying hard to hide his emotions.
Although Qiao Jin had clearly stated earlier that she only regarded him as a good friend, he still felt a slight pain in his heart when she said such words in public again.
In the brief moment when Qiao Jin stood up and left, walking towards the bathroom, Lin Qiaosheng quickly stood up from his seat and followed her.
A teammate beside him looked at Lin Qiaosheng with sympathy as he was about to leave his seat, and whispered, "Qiaosheng, just give up now and don't make things difficult for yourself. It's obvious that she doesn't care about you at all. But this is understandable, after all, the girl came here with our Captain Fu. Facing a person like Captain Fu, any girl would not be able to refuse."
But Lin Qiaosheng acted as if he didn't hear anything and caught up with Qiao Jin in front of him without looking back.
When he arrived, he found that she had just walked out of the bathroom, and her hands were dripping with water because she had just washed them.
He was standing not far from the door, obviously waiting here to meet Joe.
After seeing this situation, Qiao Jin was obviously stunned for a few seconds.
Through those clear and bright eyes, she noticed a complex emotion on the other person's face - it was as if he wanted to say something but didn't know how to start.
In order to break the silence, she paused for a moment, then broke the deadlock with a cheerful voice: "Hey, Lin Qiaosheng, how have you been in our team recently? By the way, I went to visit your father a few days ago, and he said he missed you very much. Remember to spend more time with the old man when you go home during the next holiday."
Listening to Qiao Jin's natural and fluent tone, Lin Qiaosheng's body involuntarily tensed up.
His heart beat faster, as if it was about to jump out of his chest.
After taking a deep breath, he finally mustered up the courage to embrace Qiao Jin in his arms!
The action was almost without hesitation, yet full of tension and excitement.
The sudden action surprised Qiao Jin, she was completely unprepared.
By the time I reacted, I was already hugged tightly.
She bit her lip and tried to break free, but it was obvious that Lin Qiaosheng had no intention of letting go.
His arms were like iron clamps, locking her body tightly.
After all, women's strength is not as strong as men's.
No matter how Qiao Jin struggled, it was of no avail.
Her cheeks flushed with nervousness and irritation, but she was powerless to change the situation.
"Qiao Jin, I know that in your heart I am still too young and immature. It is normal for you to look down on me."
Lin Qiaosheng's voice was a little bitter, yet extremely firm.
His words were sincere and without any disguise.
"But I really like you. I was deeply attracted to you when we first met. I want to pursue you seriously. I know I am still far behind Captain Fu, but can you please give me some time? I will reach the same level as Captain Fu as soon as possible. As long as he has achieved something, I can also accomplish it."
As he said these words, his voice was full of confidence and determination.
"I don't ask you to express your feelings to me right away, I just hope to leave some impression on you. As long as you haven't confirmed your relationship with Captain Fu, I still have a chance, right?"
Lin Qiaosheng's eyes became gentle, and there was a hint of begging in his tone.
He hoped that Qiao Jin would listen to him and give him some hope and opportunity.
Fu Yanlin, who happened to pass by, overheard these words.
He paused and stared at the two of them, with complex emotions flashing in his eyes.
