Chapter 23



Lin Qiong, the master of empty promises: "Marrying you is the happiest thing in my life."

The young man's cheeks were flushed from the alcohol, and his eyes looked at him with watery eyes.

Fu Xingyun was silent for a moment, then said, "Whatever makes you happy."

Lin Qiong: "Nothing could make me happier than marrying you."

Fu Xingyun looked at the person in front of him with a meaningful gaze, "Is that so?"

"Of course," Lin Qiong said shyly, lowering her head with a bashful smile, "I like you the most, Yue~"

Fu Xingyun: ...

Lin Qiong patted her chest and smiled foolishly, "Sorry, I drank too much and I'm a little nauseous... Let's start over."

With perfect professionalism, she looked at Fu Xingyun again with deep affection, "I like you the most...yue~"

"..."

Fu Xingyun looked numb. "If you feel it's against your conscience, you don't have to say it."

Lin Qiong slammed her hand on the table and stood up, saying, "My feelings for you are as firm as a rock; how could a small setback possibly stop them?"

She staggered towards the man, bending down to meet his gaze.

One second, two seconds...

Lin Qiong said, "I like it... I can't take it anymore, I need to go to the restroom."

"..."

As she spoke, she covered her mouth and stumbled straight towards her destination.

Watching the person's flustered retreating figure, Fu Xingyun: ...

It takes a lifetime to heal a body that lasts only a few seconds.

Lin Qiong rinsed her mouth and washed her face with water, which made her feel a little more awake. Then she looked in the mirror and exclaimed, "Oh my, where did this handsome guy come from?" After a while, she thought about it carefully and realized, "Hehe, it's actually himself."

As Lin Qiong came out, she happened to see Fu Xingyun about to get on the elevator. The cuckoo flapped its wings twice and flew to Fu Xingyun's side as if it were a bird returning to its nest.

Their faces screamed, "Let's do it together! Let's do it together!"

Fu Xingyun glanced at him but didn't say anything.

As soon as the elevator doors opened, the man said, "Let's go."

Lin Qiong looked at the other person gratefully, "Xingyun, you are so kind, I am the most..."

Fu Xingyun's brow twitched. "You don't need to say anything."

Lin Qiong said sternly, "You're questioning our unwavering love."

Fu Xingyun replied coldly, "No."

Lin Qiong asked in a puzzled tone, "Then why won't you let me say it?"

Fu Xingyun was silent for a moment, then said, "I'm afraid you'll hurt your tongue."

Lin Qiong lowered her head shyly, "So you care about me this much."

"..."

"I love..."

Fu Xingyun: "Shutting up is the best outcome."

To avoid being beaten down by powerful forces, Lin Qiong raised her hand and pinched a heart shape in front of her chest.

"..."

When Lin Qiong woke up the next morning, she lay sprawled on the bed, clutching her throbbing head.

Then, feeling a stomachache, she went downstairs to get breakfast, and soon Fu Xingyun appeared pushing a wheelchair.

At the dinner table, Lin Qiong looked at the person and asked, "Do you know about the job I got?"

Fu Xingyun ate his meal slowly and deliberately. "You told me last night."

Lin Qiong blinked. "Then why don't you ask me how I was selected?"

Fu Xingyun glanced at him and asked, "How did you get selected?"

Lin Qiong looked proud after hearing this, "Because I look like myself."

"..." Fu Xingyun: "That's a truly outstanding characteristic."

Lin Qiong: ...

I suspect he was being sarcastic, but I have no proof.

After breakfast, Lin Qiong took Fu Xingyun out for a walk as usual. Because the old man who was selling junk had said something surprising last time, he deliberately made sure to leave at a different time this time.

However, when I went out, I unexpectedly ran into an old man dressed in designer clothes.

Lin Qiong: ...

This damn fate.

He pushed the man and tried to leave, afraid that the old man might say something about living in an urn again.

The old man with the shabby clothes greeted Lin Qiong as soon as he saw her.

Lin Qiong's brows twitched instantly, and she spoke first, "What a coincidence, you're here to walk your dog too?"

Fu Xingyun: ...

After returning home, Lin Qiong slumped on the sofa and looked at the work schedule that Wang Cheng had sent her. It turned out that the makeup session would take two or three days.

Then he turned to look at the man not far away and said, "Xingyun, I'm going out to work in a few days."

Fu Xingyun replied indifferently, "Oh."

Lin Qiong: "You're eating takeout."

The man's back visibly stiffened. "When are you coming back?"

Lin Qiong calculated based on the longest possible time, "Three days, I guess."

Then, not forgetting his love-obsessed persona, he sprang up from the sofa in a somersault.

"But don't worry, my love for you won't diminish because of the distance. I'll think of you every day." As she spoke, she raised her hand and made a tiny heart. "My love for you will never change."

Fu Xingyun glanced at him silently, "Thank you so much."

Lin Qiong lowered her head shyly, "You're welcome."

"..."

In the following days, Lin Qiong discovered that Fu Xingyun was eating even more than before.

That evening, Lin Qiong lay in bed, looking at her phone.

Wang Cheng: "I'll pick you up at eight o'clock tomorrow morning."

Lin Qiong typed with her fingertips, "Understood."

Wang Cheng: "Remember to do more good deeds recently, preferably one good deed a day."

Lin Qiong: ?

Wang Cheng: "I've calculated that you were chosen because it was a windfall, but you did good deeds before that."

Lin Qiong asked in confusion, "For example?"

Wang Cheng: "Eat vegetarian food and share the cost of gas."

Lin Qiong, in a deep and eccentric tone, said, "A great man once said that feudal superstition is unacceptable."

Wang Cheng refused to give up, saying, "Then just treat it as doing charity."

The next morning, Lin Qiong finished breakfast and prepared to go out.

Before leaving, she looked at Fu Xingyun, who was sitting in the living room watching the news, and said, "I'm leaving now. Remember to eat on time these next few days."

Fu Xingyun gave a flat reply, then glanced at the person and said, "Remember to come back soon."

Lin Qiong opened her eyes slightly.

Wow, that's rare.

But I guess this cunning old man just wants to eat less takeout for a few days.

Although she later knew what the other person was thinking, Lin Qiong still approached them with a smile and asked, "Did you miss me while I was away for the past few days?"

Fu Xingyun looked at him, wondering if the other person was born with such eyes that looked at everyone with such deep affection. The man felt inexplicably dazzling. He remained silent for a while before the other person continued, "That's right, after all, distance makes the heart grow fonder."

"..."

After finishing her conversation, Lin Qiong grabbed her luggage and left, saying, "I'm leaving."

He arrived at the exit of the villa area, but did not see the creaking minivan that usually drove by.

She took out her phone and dialed Wang Cheng's number. "I'm out. Where are you?"

Wang Chengsheng's dejected voice came from the other end of the line, "Still on the way."

Lin Qiong asked in confusion, "Did you oversleep?"

Wang Cheng: "I'm stuck in traffic."

"..."

Looking at the street ahead, which was jammed like a snake, Wang Cheng said, "You should come to the 11th Road side first. I don't know how long this jam will last."

Lin Qiong nodded. "Okay."

Just as I was about to hang up, I heard Wang Cheng on the other end continue, "Remember to do a good deed every day! Do a good deed every day!"

Lin Qiong did not refuse, saying, "I will do what I can."

He then hung up the phone and walked towards the direction of 11th Road.

While waiting at a red light, I saw an elderly woman, slightly overweight, panting, as if she was a little tired.

Remembering what Wang Cheng had said earlier, Lin Qiong looked at the road and then at the old woman.

Isn't this the opportunity?

When the green light came on, Lin Qiong stepped forward and said, "Grandma, let me help you across."

"Thank you, young man, no need."

Promoting the spirit of Lei Feng, Lin Qiong said, "Grandma, you don't need to be so polite with me."

As he spoke, he helped the old woman cross the road.

"No need, young man."

"fine."

When they reached the other side of the street, the old woman looked at Lin Qiong and said, "I just walked over there."

"..."

Afterwards, Lin Qiong waited at the traffic light again and took the old woman across, bowing to her out of embarrassment.

"I'm so sorry."

He turned and ran away as soon as he said that; it was so embarrassing.

Lin Qiong walked across two streets and came towards her a poorly dressed beggar.

"Have pity on me."

The man didn't look very old, just over thirty, but he looked dejected despite being in his prime.

The beggar walked up to Lin Qiong and said, "Have pity on me."

The meaning behind it was obvious. Lin Qiong patted her pockets but found no change.

Seeing the beggar's trembling hands holding the bowl, I asked, "How about I help you carry it for a while?"

beggar: ...

"Can you do it?"

Lin Qiong adopted a senior's demeanor: "Don't look down on me. I used to be your colleague."

The beggar glanced at him suspiciously, but couldn't tell at all that the man was down on his luck.

"You used to eat too?"

Lin Qiong nodded. "Of course."

He even slept under the overpass for several months.

He took the bowl from the beggar's hand and said, "I used to make as much as two yuan a day."

beggar: ...

The beggar looked at Lin Qiong and said, "I'm doing this because I'm desperate. I have no money, no one wants me, and I have no hope for the future."

Seeing the person's emotional state, Lin Qiong thought about whether she should comfort them, and then said, "Everyone has difficult times."

"During the years I was forced to pay off debts, my house was burgled."

The beggar looked at Lin Qiong in surprise, not expecting someone to be even worse off than him. "The thief stole all the money you used to pay off your debts?"

Lin Qiong scratched her head. "No, not at all."

"What was the thief doing going in there?"

Lin Qiong looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, then said, "He and I searched the house all night but couldn't find the money."

"..."

The beggar asked in confusion, "Why did you do what I did before?"

Lin Qiong gritted her teeth as she recalled the runaway bastard: "I was unlucky to meet someone, I acted as a guarantor for someone, and as a result, the person ran away and I was forced to pay off the debt. The loan sharks even made me lose my job. I was really desperate."

The beggar's eyes widened. "I never knew you had such an experience."

She said sadly, "I also lost money in the stock market because I listened to slander, and ended up in this situation with nowhere else to turn."

Lin Qiong: "Do you now think that you were a complete idiot before?"

The beggar nodded, surprised that the two had such similar thought processes.

Lin Qiong patted the person's shoulder reassuringly, "Look to money, everything will be alright."

The beggar looked at Lin Qiong with excitement, "Young brother, you are truly my kindred spirit."

"So how did you get back on your feet?" He glanced at Lin Qiong's expensive outfit. "Was it through hard work, accumulating experience, and building your business?"

Lin Qiong shook her head.

"Then you met your mentor, and were able to regroup and reach the pinnacle of your life."

Lin Qiong: "I married an old man who lives off me."
