Chapter 72
Miss Miao's hands kept shaking and she almost dropped the thing in her hand. Lin Xing noticed her loss of composure and held her hand.
This action was meant to comfort Miss Miao, but she started sobbing instead. Lin Xing was at a loss and could only hold her hands tighter. Su Jingfeng was also startled and was about to leave the room.
"Master Su, you don't have to leave." Miss Miao glanced at him, wiped her tears, raised the divorce letter in her hand, and said, "Thanks to the two masters, otherwise I don't know when I can get this thing."
Su Jingfeng waved his hand, and Lin Xing said softly: "If you really want to thank me, then live your life well."
The tears that had just stopped welled up again at this moment. Miao girl shook Lin Xing's hand back, her eyes tearful but she said firmly: "Okay."
Squeak~
In an instant, two pairs of eyes with smiles and tears looked towards the door at the same time. Su Jingfeng showed an awkward smile facing the gazes of the two. Oh, God, he just wanted to take a step back to make space for the two, so how did he bump into the door? He vowed to replace the broken door soon.
The arrow was on the string and had to be shot. Su Jingfeng said with a stiff upper lip: "Miss Miao, do you need someone to send you back?"
This awkward topic made Lin Xing smile knowingly, which made Su Jingfeng even more embarrassed and he could hardly raise his head. Miss Miao on the other side also understood something, but she misunderstood and thought that Lord Su was asking her to resolve the matter quickly.
"Don't bother Lord Su. I can handle the rest of the things myself." She let go of Lin Xing's hand, brushed past Su Jingfeng, and left without hesitation. Lin Xing hurriedly caught up with her, but saw her waving her hand behind her.
Lin Xing stopped, and Su Jingfeng beside her was very confused, "Why don't you follow? Even with the divorce letter, she may still be in danger."
"Who said you won't follow? Send someone to follow her secretly to protect her, and don't let Miss Miao find out."
At this moment Su Jingfeng understood her intention and nodded with a smile, agreeing with her approach.
After the matter was completely resolved, Lin Xing returned to the office. Chen Ling was supporting his head with one hand and holding a pen with the other, looking nonchalant. Yu Hang was sitting at the table in a daze. There was a mysterious silence in the room. What Lin Xing didn't know was that a fight broke out in the room not long after she left.
Back to the time when Lin Xing had just closed the door, Yu Hang slammed his pen on the table, making a loud noise, but he didn't say anything. Shen Ling simply propped up his chin with both hands and said in an innocent tone: "What's wrong with Master Yu? Why are you so angry?"
"How dare you ask?" Yu Hang's voice did not contain any obvious anger, it was just a little lower than usual.
"Why are you embarrassed? I, Shen Lingxing, am sitting upright." Shen Ling said with a thoughtful look, "Are you blaming me for calling you here to handle official business?"
Yu Hang didn't want to argue with him, so he pointed out his intention directly, "Why did you call her over? You know she's not good at this."
"who is she?"
The simplest question made Yu Hang fall silent, but Shen Ling didn't intend to let him go and kept asking, "Who is she that Lord Yu is talking about?"
After asking several times, Yu Hang still didn't answer. Shen Ling was about to give up and paused for a moment. At this time, Yu Hang said, "Lin Xing, she is Lin Xing."
When Yu Hang said this, he looked forward with bright eyes, not knowing what he was thinking of, and therefore ignored Shen Ling's triumphant smile.
"I thought you didn't know Manager Lin?" Shen Ling continued to tease, "I'm so worried about you. We finally came to the capital and can stay together day and night. How can we quarrel?"
Speaking of sad things, Yu Hang's eyes darkened and he asked uncertainly: "You know everything?"
"I did ask you two to come here to accompany me, but the atmosphere between you two was very strange just now, and I just realized that something was wrong." Shen Ling moved towards Yu Hang, "Tell me, why is it so?"
“Just little things.”
"Tsk." Shen Ling looked unconvinced. He saw that Yu Hang didn't want to talk, so he returned to his original position and picked up the pen again.
Seeing this, Yu Hang also buried his head in the official business in front of him. After a while of silence, Shen Ling couldn't help but persuade him: "You shouldn't hide it from Manager Lin."
He stopped writing and said nothing.
"You shouldn't hide your personality, your past, and your experiences. If you just want to be friends with Shopkeeper Lin, then I'm being too talkative today; but if you want to go further, you must tell me everything."
Still without saying a word, Yu Hang began to handle official business, and only Shen Ling's sigh remained in the room.
This atmosphere lasted until Lin Xing came back. She was afraid of disturbing the two of them, so she walked lightly. After taking two steps, Shen Ling suddenly looked up at her. Lin Xing was shocked. "What are you doing? Is there something wrong?"
"Manager Lin has returned just in time. We have finished all the official business." Shen Ling put on his usual smile, ignoring the surprised look of Yu Hang beside him.
"I rushed back as soon as possible." Lin Xing didn't show it on her face, but she was very happy in her heart. Finally, she didn't have to look at those things.
"Let Lord Yu send you back." He would not let Yu Hang refuse. He turned around and grabbed Yu Hang's pen, looking like he was trying to drive him away.
Chen Ling had done this, so Yu Hang didn't waste his kindness. He stood up and walked one step away from Lin Xing, staring into her eyes a little stiffly.
Yu Hang's eyes were already watery, and looking at Lin Xing like this, she naturally couldn't refuse, so she turned around and went out. But when she reached the door, she found that Yu Hang was staring at the floor with his head down, standing there motionless.
She coughed twice, but Yu Hang didn't hear her. Lin Xing knocked on the door twice again, but when Yu Hang looked over, she felt a little embarrassed. She said in the same voice as when she coughed: "Aren't you going to take me home? Why are you still standing here?"
A huge smile immediately broke out on Yu Hang's face. He trotted after her, and the two walked out of the Dali Temple side by side.
There was already a carriage waiting outside the door. Perhaps Shen Ling had deliberately arranged it so that there was only one carriage outside the door. Yu Hang was not mentally prepared yet. While he was hesitating, Lin Xing had already stepped on the carriage stool, opened the curtain a little, and hid herself in the carriage.
Although he couldn't see Lin Xing's face through the gap, Yu Hang could imagine her expression at that moment, and his steps became lighter.
The two of them sat down and the coachman began to whip the carriage. Noisy sounds surrounded them, but Lin Xing did not find it noisy. Instead, she was grateful for the sounds that broke the silence in the carriage.
"I know I was wrong." The low voice with grievance dissipated into the air.
Lin Xingben had been looking at the scenery outside the window. Hearing this, he lowered his eyes and said, "I don't blame you. I just can't believe it."
"What?" Yu Hang was puzzled.
"Do you think there is any difference between us and the people here?" Lin Xing still didn't look up, her fingers intertwined.
"Of course there are differences," Yu Hang answered hastily, staring in her direction. "Everything here is different from our home. The education, system, and development. We who grew up there are completely different from the people here."
He spoke hurriedly, as if he was proving something. As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xing raised her head and looked at him with complicated eyes. The two of them looked at each other and Yu Hang was startled.
Lin Xing said calmly: "No matter how long I have been here, I often feel that I belong here. Maybe I feel at home here, but there are always some things that remind me that this is another era, but I will also let myself ignore it again and again."
"Your actions are undoubtedly a blow to my head. It makes me feel as if you are no different from them. You and I are the same. What about me? Am I the same as them?"
"I…"
"Tanghulu! Buy Tanghulu!"
Yu Hang's words were interrupted by the hawking outside the carriage. Lin Xing felt that the voice was familiar and looked out the window. As expected, she saw an old acquaintance. She hurriedly called to the driver, "Please stop!"
The carriage stopped and the driver's voice came, "Master Lin, what happened?"
"I'm going to buy some candied haws. This place is not far from the Yu residence. You don't have to wait for me. Just send Master Yu back directly."
Lin Xing got off the carriage without waiting for the driver to refuse, and Yu Hang followed closely behind her, fearing that she would leave him behind. The driver did not dare to agree, but when he came to his senses, he found that both masters had gotten off the carriage. He said tremblingly: "Master Yu, this is what Master Shen told me personally, I..."
"Go back and tell Lord Shen that this was all my idea. He won't make things difficult for you."
The driver turned around and drove back to Dali Temple. Yu Hang hurriedly looked for Lin Xing, but when he lowered his head, he saw someone standing next to him. He was holding two strings of candied haws and a bag hanging on his wrist.
Lin Xing handed him the candied haws in her hand as if nothing had happened, then bit off half of the hawthorn and asked vaguely, "Why did you come down here too?"
"I want to eat candied haws, too." Yu Hang also took a bite and said shyly, "Thank you."
This sentence made Lin Xing laugh out loud, "Are you being polite to me?"
The two of them found some light-hearted topics to talk about as they walked. During the time, they passed by "A Dream of Yellow Millet". The outside of the restaurant became lively again. When they were about to reach the gate of Yu Mansion, Lin Xing suddenly remembered the unfinished words of the people around her when they were in the carriage.
"What was it you wanted to say in the carriage?"
"Me?" Yu Hang's expression was blank for a moment, and then he became tangled, "I want to say that you are completely different from them, you will never be changed, and..."
"Sister Xiao Xing, why are you back!" A surprised and cheerful voice interrupted Yu Hang again. He watched the attention of the people around him being attracted, and the courage he had mustered drifted away again.
"Yun Duo? Where are you going?" Lin Xing saw her outfit and guessed that she was going out. "Why don't you bring Yun Zhi with you?"
Yun Duo pulled Lin Xing's sleeve and shook it gently, saying guiltily, "Xiao Xing, I just want to go buy some candied haws and I'll be back soon. Besides, Yun Zhi is so busy, I can't keep bothering her."
"Don't give me that!" Lin Xing slapped her hand away, handed the bag to her, and looked at the change in her expression with satisfaction.
"Sister Xiao Xing, you actually brought me some candied haws. You're so kind!" Yun Duo guessed everything when she saw the sticks exposed. She immediately opened the bag to confirm her thoughts. "There are three sticks here. Can't it be that I have two and Sister Yun Zhi has one?"
"What are you thinking about? You, Yunzhi and Uncle Wu each have a string." Lin Xing gently hit her forehead. Yun Duo didn't feel any pain and sticked out her tongue playfully.
She took Lin Xing's arm and walked towards Yu Mansion, chattering non-stop. For a moment, Yu Hang beside her seemed to have become a transparent person. To be honest, Yun Duo really didn't notice him.
Yun Duo was still talking when she was about to step into the gate. Her eyes suddenly swept over the person who had been following them. She took a closer look and realized that this person was her own young master.
